I was thinking about it today and I've recognized in my past-break-ups too.&lt;br /&gt;it's the fact that somehow the person that you can be the most open towards, that will accept your madness, will understand your fear, where you look for comfort.the person that is nice to you for no apparent reason. that smiles when you show up. stops being that person&lt;br /&gt;and you feel this huge wall has risen or that somehow you didn't know them at all, because somehow now for them any word you say doesn't mean a thing. it won't change a thing.&lt;br /&gt;and it's this paradox, of your complete trust vs. embodiment of someone you've never met.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Listen to this--&gt;&lt;a href="http://http://soundcloud.com/victor_mih-1/stela-enache-florin-bogardo-ce"&gt;Ce simti cand esti indragostit&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and the conclusion:), i guess pineapple was never my favourite fruit&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1356659134043892666-9110844974825371432?l=outsidethecocoon.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://outsidethecocoon.blogspot.com/feeds/9110844974825371432/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1356659134043892666&amp;postID=9110844974825371432' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1356659134043892666/posts/default/9110844974825371432'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1356659134043892666/posts/default/9110844974825371432'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://outsidethecocoon.blogspot.com/2011/02/harderst-part.html' title='The harderst part'/><author><name>Tyaly</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1356659134043892666.post-1044497207892561548</id><published>2009-11-28T18:15:00.012Z</published><updated>2009-11-28T19:14:48.647Z</updated><title type='text'>Stepping outside the cocoon</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_DjqT3KkOVns/SxFyidKl5ZI/AAAAAAAAAEA/8EimBagkMXI/s1600/The+Birthday+Party401037.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_DjqT3KkOVns/SxFyidKl5ZI/AAAAAAAAAEA/8EimBagkMXI/s400/The+Birthday+Party401037.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5409230563718849938" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nujLxeg5NiM"&gt;Soundtrack: Muse-Fury&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once I was thinking, how much I admire those people that can talk about ANYTHING on their blog.Women talking about weight, people that talk about depression, people that talk about their ruined relationship and this guy-&lt;a href="http://www.jeg.ro"&gt;Darius Groza&lt;/a&gt;-that is constantly reminding us about the most distigusting fluids and solids of our boddies.&lt;br /&gt;My friends know that I say this-when 2 people are in a couple,you do not go to the toilet, or do all the other nasty stuff.Basically, those stuff stop existing&lt;br /&gt;That's why for example, I don't want to see people that I am dating eating, and that's why I avoid eating in front of them too.(Once I didn't eat for a whole weekend, because I was spending it with then my boyfriend)&lt;br /&gt;You never know what disgusting thing they might do--&gt;magic gone&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All of these topics + Said in a funny way= &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;my Eternal Amazement&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Plus, you never know who is watching, just discovered that a friend of mine that is currently in Graz, posted a link to my blog.She probably has more people on her blog-&lt;a href="http://mirunavlada.wordpress.com/"&gt;Miruna Vlada&lt;/a&gt;-in a week than I ever had.like EVER. Suddently this 'for my friends'(cause really, why would anyone be interested in what I'm up to) thing could one day be raised at 'for people online'.Isn't that just scarry? I think it is.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The blog can be an inside to you, don't want to sound soappy.But if you do it in a funny, appealing way, it can even be a popular one.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, how do we step outside the cocoon that we built for ourselves?

Moves on to win a important prize at the a international intellectual competition.makes it on wikipedia&lt;br /&gt;The guy I kinda left him for, the-I-don't-give-a-damn-about-education-or-culture, the I'm-a-rebel-but-don't-dare-to-stand-up-to-my-mom guy seemed the love of my life.Obviously he wasn't, but a couple of years later down the line ends up in a band, that makes it to number one in radio charts on the altenative scene in Romania.makes it to MTV&lt;br /&gt;The I-want-a-real-man-in-my-life guy , makes me realise quite soon, that I wasn't the only one who had that opinion. He soon turns into a entrepreneurial wonder, and founded his own software company at a very young age.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The examples could go on.I'll just lie to myself and say 'I had a really good influence', but really I'm too scared on checking what my other former others are up to.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6V26zxH_JMk"&gt;Soundtrack-Tricky-Overcome&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1356659134043892666-3457017161715642377?l=outsidethecocoon.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://outsidethecocoon.blogspot.com/feeds/3457017161715642377/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1356659134043892666&amp;postID=3457017161715642377' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1356659134043892666/posts/default/3457017161715642377'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1356659134043892666/posts/default/3457017161715642377'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://outsidethecocoon.blogspot.com/2009/11/others.html' title='The others'/><author><name>Tyaly</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_DjqT3KkOVns/SwJra_4DVgI/AAAAAAAAAD4/rO7YiDsKJY8/s72-c/121018026698.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1356659134043892666.post-5916977410155246381</id><published>2009-10-26T01:13:00.004Z</published><updated>2009-10-26T02:03:46.234Z</updated><title type='text'>renasterea dulcegariilor</title><content type='html'>Cumva primul gand e ca urasc momentele siropoase, urasc oamenii care isi varsa dulcegariile pe bloguri care se vor 'profunde'. Si uita-ma acum.&lt;br /&gt;Multe s-a schimbat de cand am scris ultima data pe blog, am revenit la Londra, am inceput anul II de facultate, am continuat ca Events Manager cu AIESEC (www.aiesec.org), am devenit participant intr-un proiect inter-faith + mentorat de parlamentarii (mai multe detalii http://www.3ff.org.uk/prog_up.htm).&lt;br /&gt;Insa n-o sa va povestesc despre niciuna dintre astea, cel putin nu acum. Ci despre un job part-time ce ma transforma intr-o fana de dulcegarii.&lt;br /&gt;Sunt dadaca, stiu ca e greu de imaginat fara vocea pitigaiata si taioarele sexy a lui Fran, dar 2 ore in fiecare zi a saptamanii nu-mi pot atribui alt titlu. Am grija de 3 copii francezei, un baiat de 8 luni si 2 fete, una de 4 si cealalta de 5 jumate. Am observat deja ca prietenii mei don't find it to entertaining daca ma apuc sa descriu copii asa ca nu voi face asta.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; 'melodia-despre-sex', cocoon-ul lui bjork, care are ca opening line' who would have known that a boy like him would have entered my lightly restoring my bliss', cu urmari de genul 'he slides inside, half awake, half asleep', e clar la ce ne duce cu gandul. Pentru mine insa de 2 zile inseamna induiosare si imaginea a doua fetite care imi aratau mie, ce-au invatat la balet, iar eu care nu aveam nicio alta melodie slow decat asta.&lt;br /&gt;oare chiar putem sa schimbam sensurile imaginilor pe care le avem.incep sa cred ca da.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Noapte asta este ziua lui Phillipe, tatal copiilor.Si cadou de ziua lui am primit sub grija inca 2 copii.&lt;br /&gt;Nu stiu cum simt mamele, insa eu stateam pe coridorul casei, in dreptul scariilor si ascultam sa vad daca e cineva care plange.La orice zgomot tresaream, crezand ca vreunul dintre copii vrea ceva. In tensiunea asta, cred ca am trait cel mai induiosator moment al vietii mele, dulceag , numa' bun de postat pe un blog, orice blog.&lt;br /&gt;Copilul strain, micul Pierre( 2,5 ani) respira greu si plangea.Pana am urcat eu la etajul 2, plangea tare.Am intrat in camera fara sa aprind lumina, cu laterna ce o am in dotarea de dadaca. L-am intrebat ce s-a intamplat, insa nu am inteles. Si cumva cel mai firesc lucru mi s-a parut sa iau copilul asta pe care nu-l mai vazusem in viata mea, sa-l iau in brate , sa-l leagan si sa-i spun in franceaza ca totul e ok. Ca sa nu-i fie teama ca sunt acum cu el. Si cand credeam ca s-a linistit, l-am pus in patut, a inceput sa planga iar si i-am zis ca raman cu el.Sa nu-i fie teama ca raman cu el. Si el a zis 'merci maman'&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1356659134043892666-5916977410155246381?l=outsidethecocoon.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://outsidethecocoon.blogspot.com/feeds/5916977410155246381/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1356659134043892666&amp;postID=5916977410155246381' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1356659134043892666/posts/default/5916977410155246381'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1356659134043892666/posts/default/5916977410155246381'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://outsidethecocoon.blogspot.com/2009/10/renasterea-dulcegariilor.html' title='renasterea dulcegariilor'/><author><name>Tyaly</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1356659134043892666.post-6777300803315045901</id><published>2009-08-10T03:03:00.004+01:00</published><updated>2009-08-10T03:55:40.469+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Hello Mr.President-The glamourous life</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_DjqT3KkOVns/Sn-LjNYhb_I/AAAAAAAAADw/m0V90ffIvsw/s1600-h/cotroceni.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 275px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_DjqT3KkOVns/Sn-LjNYhb_I/AAAAAAAAADw/m0V90ffIvsw/s400/cotroceni.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5368162717853118450" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Daca tot dai un ban pe studii, de ce sa nu fii si pe sclavul vreunei institutii publice?&lt;br /&gt;Exact asa m-am gandit si eu : sunt destul de pregatita sa faca munca unui angajat indispensabil, insa nu sunt indeajuns de pregatita sa si fiu platita pentru asta.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Astazi se implineste o saptamana de cand am inceput o noua aventura .Si cum nu-mi mai ajungi la nas nici cu prajina, nu ma mai complac in diplomatie culturala(vezi ICR ), m-am indreptat cu mandrie spre sclavia prezidentiala.&lt;br /&gt;Nu ma plang, eu am vrut. M-am gandit ca decat sa ma plictisesc pana la ora 19 in orasul meu natal(caci dupa 19 ma intalneam cu prietenii), sa vin la capitala sa muncesc multe ore la Departamentul de Comunicare al Administratiei Prezidentiala.&lt;br /&gt;Dupa 3 zile, am constat ca nu are sens sa ma mai imbrac in hainele office ce initial mi-au umplut valiza, caci orele si contextul in care imi desfasuram activitatea nu meritau efortul de a sta incorsetata pe un scaun o zi intreaga.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Si daca internship-ul la ICR imi aducea ceva perks, vezi invitatii pe la evenimente private, o zi obisnuita la Cotroceni nu e cea mai stralucita zi din cariera/viata/existenta/imaginatia cuiva.&lt;br /&gt;Partea de departe cea mai pozitiva este ca programul departamentului este de la 9 la 22 (exact 13 ore), asta pentru mine se traduce in faptul ca ma pot trezi tarziu.&lt;br /&gt;Ma trezesc ca un om in vacanta pe la 11 si ma pornesc usurel , ca o printesa spre Palat.&lt;br /&gt;Iau ziarul din ziua de dinainte , pe care n-am timp sa-l termin de citit niciodata, caci distanta e prea scurta, sau frecventa schimbarilor de metrou prea deasa(depinde de situatie)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ma prezint la postul de control si imnanand buletinul, in caz ca au uitat cine sunt, trec apoi prin detectorul de metale.Imi iau ecusonul cel galben, ce-mi ofera acelasi nivel de acces ca cel al muncilor din curte ce lucreaza renovarea  muzeului pe care nu-l viziteaza nimeni niciodata. Si merg zambitoare spre birou. Poate nu stiti, dar asta e o realizare mare, caci la inceput din motive de securitate, nu aveam voie sa merg neinsotita prin curtea palatului.Sa intelegem ca acum ma cunosc, sunt fata buna.&lt;br /&gt;NU indeajuns de buna insa sa pot (pardon, sa mi se dea voie ) sa merg pana la bufetul din interiorul palatului sa-mi iau si eu o apa plata la 1,3 lei.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Traversez toata curtea , intru pe la intrarea oficiala, inchid cu grija usa cu vitraliul ce sta sa cada si-l salut pe SPP-istul de serviciu. Unul dintre ei este preferatul meu, de departe, caci intr-o zi cand plecam am zarit ca iesise din ritualul celolalti paznici inalt calificati-nu se uita la fotbal, ci la Tanar si Nelinistit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Trec pe la sala unde se fac primirile oficiale si decorarile si urc scarile de marmura pe langa cordorul ce opreste accesul nu stiu cui.&lt;br /&gt;Imi petrec urmatoarele multe ore intre clickuri de mouse analizand stiri(gata trascrise si puse in documente word) si uitandu-ma atent dupa atacuri la adresa presedintelui.Sunt cel putin 15 oameni care asta fac, se uita dupa atacuri la adresa presedintelui, ca apoi alt departament sa creeze comunicate de presa.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Si cand imi amorteste degetul de la atata click-uituri tot ce-mi vine in minte sunt lunile cand lucram la ICR Londra si faceam lucruri cu adevarat importante...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1356659134043892666-6777300803315045901?l=outsidethecocoon.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://outsidethecocoon.blogspot.com/feeds/6777300803315045901/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1356659134043892666&amp;postID=6777300803315045901' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1356659134043892666/posts/default/6777300803315045901'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1356659134043892666/posts/default/6777300803315045901'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://outsidethecocoon.blogspot.com/2009/08/hello-mrpresident-glamourous-life.html' title='Hello Mr.President-The glamourous life'/><author><name>Tyaly</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_DjqT3KkOVns/Sn-LjNYhb_I/AAAAAAAAADw/m0V90ffIvsw/s72-c/cotroceni.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1356659134043892666.post-7074313976592528753</id><published>2009-07-21T14:43:00.006+01:00</published><updated>2009-07-21T17:09:37.187+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Yoko'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Apa calda'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ce am invatat'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Acasa'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Japonia'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='apa rece'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Londra'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Robinete'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='London'/><title type='text'>Acasa?</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#330099;"&gt;A trecut o saptama&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_DjqT3KkOVns/SmXRW1c7QoI/AAAAAAAAADg/bSAcS8k7VdE/s1600-h/banksy_home_sweet_home_book.jpg"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#330099;"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5360921121690174082" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 322px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 261px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_DjqT3KkOVns/SmXRW1c7QoI/AAAAAAAAADg/bSAcS8k7VdE/s400/banksy_home_sweet_home_book.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;na de cand am ajuns in Romania.Primele trei zile(duminica-marti) Yoko a venit la Bucuresti , asa ca atmosfera internationala s-a mai mentinut pentru cateva zile.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#330099;"&gt;E cazul sa trag linie la anul asta.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#330099;"&gt;M-am aruncat cu capul inainte si mi-am luat angajamentul sa studiez 3 ani intr-o tara in care nu mai fusesem niciodata.In plus, sa folosesc o limba pe care o utilizasem doar mediul artificial al liceului.Curajos?N-as zice, multi fac a&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#330099;"&gt;sta in fiecare zi.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#330099;"&gt;La ce ma asteptam eu si ce-am gasit? Nu stiu.Si realizez ca asta nu va spune prea multe, pentru ca nu aveam niste asteptari specifice, ci doar o sete(nu stiu cum altcumva s-o numesc) sa vad, sa cunosc, sa vorbesc.Si tot ce s-a intamplat dupa un an este ca setea asta e mai mare.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#330099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#330099;"&gt;Londra e mare, teribil de aglomerata, insa cumva ordonata.Un drum pana in centru nu ma oboseste atat de tare ca in Bucuresti.Si lucrurile de care radeam la inceput, ca scrisul pe trotuar dinaintea oricarei treceri de pietoni:' Look left', 'look right'(in functie de situatie).Acum mi se par ok, mi se par utile, pentru ca nici dupa 9 luni de locuit in Londra nu ma obisnuisem ca masinile vin din partea opusa.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#330099;"&gt;Pe de alta parte, faza ca robinete separate pentru apa calda si apa rece, inca mi se pare o idiotenie.Vrei sa te speli pe maini ca omul si sa zicem ca e iarna.Dai sa te speli cu apa calda, e atat de fierbinte incat nu stii cum sa faci sa dai mai repede drumul la apa rece, care e rece ca gheata.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#330099;"&gt;Si nu-mi spuneti sa le combin, pentru ca atunci cand esti cu sapun pe maini si fugi de la robinetul rece, la robinetul cald, incercand sa faci potiunea magica in palme, nu arati cel mai demn.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#330099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#330099;"&gt;Sau, obsesia cu focul, de cate ori alarma asurzitoare a rasunat noaptea sau in creierul diminetii si am iesit toti in pijamale.Sau seminarul ala epic de la inceput de an : ' Daca faci un ceai , poti sa mori' , 'cand gatesti esti un pericol pentru toti cei din jur'.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#330099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#330099;"&gt;Inca nu stiu ce inaltime am sau ce greutate, nu va temeti, in sistem imperial.Insa, e normal sa stiu ce marime am la pantofi:))&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#330099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#330099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#330099;"&gt;Si abia cand am ajuns la Bucuresti am realizat ceva.Stateam cu Yoko si o prietena la o terasa. Intrebarile despre Japonia fusesera ceva normal in cele cateva zile in Romania, din partea tuturor&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#330099;"&gt;.Insa in Bucuresti, am realizat ca la Londra, eu eram Cristina si Yoko era prietena mea cea mai buna.Nimic mai mult sau mai putin.La Bucuresti, a devenit japoneza.Pentru ca la Londra, toata lumea e straina.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#330099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#330099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#330099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#330099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#330099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#330099;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1356659134043892666-7074313976592528753?l=outsidethecocoon.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://outsidethecocoon.blogspot.com/feeds/7074313976592528753/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1356659134043892666&amp;postID=7074313976592528753' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1356659134043892666/posts/default/7074313976592528753'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1356659134043892666/posts/default/7074313976592528753'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://outsidethecocoon.blogspot.com/2009/07/acasa.html' title='Acasa?'/><author><name>Tyaly</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_DjqT3KkOVns/SmXRW1c7QoI/AAAAAAAAADg/bSAcS8k7VdE/s72-c/banksy_home_sweet_home_book.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1356659134043892666.post-6134384131745522460</id><published>2009-05-21T16:29:00.003+01:00</published><updated>2009-05-21T16:57:20.171+01:00</updated><title type='text'>The sweetest heartache</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_DjqT3KkOVns/ShV3mlPoNEI/AAAAAAAAADY/L1p0-1AMrug/s1600-h/1935640424_2b6d818d7c.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_DjqT3KkOVns/ShV3mlPoNEI/AAAAAAAAADY/L1p0-1AMrug/s400/1935640424_2b6d818d7c.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5338304438033986626" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was in for the thrill, but I didn't know heartache could be so sweet. If I would ever have to imagine what Ulyse's sirenes would sound , Ane Brun and 'her diamonds' would be exactly it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Am intrat in capela luminata in albastru cu lumanari la vitralii fara sa stiu cine e Ane Brun(ascultase o data jumate de piesa), insa venisem pentru ca imi plac lucrurile spontane si cand o prietena m-a invitat cu o ora inainte la concert am lasat tot si am fugit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ne-am scos batistele la 'supporting acts' si ma pregateam pentru o muzica melodramatica feminina. Insa Ane nu ne-a dezamagit.Nimic nu m-ar fi putut pregati pentru ce-a urmat.&lt;br /&gt;Nu-mi amintesc un alt concert unde sa fii avut 80% din timp pielea de gaina.Poate e tot aerul asta scandinav, atat the 'cool', poate ca era faptul ca eu si ceilelalte 400 de persoane din capela imparteam cel mai mare secret al Londrei, incat niciunul dintre noi nu avea curaj macar sa respire.N-am vazut niciodata un public mai tacut.Era complet liniste , iar sunetul chitarii si accidentalului pian + vocea lui Ane+ 'the 3 diamonds aka backing vocals' nu puteau sa sune mai frumos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Si in toata magia aia puteai sa vezi pe fetelor oamenilor din public(unde erau surprinzator de multi tipi) un zambet inghetat si am inceput sa zambesc si eu pentru ca exact asta imi doream de la Londra.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enjoy: &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x4AmkD0xnp4&amp;amp;feature=related"&gt;Ane Brun -Don't Leave&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1356659134043892666-6134384131745522460?l=outsidethecocoon.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://outsidethecocoon.blogspot.com/feeds/6134384131745522460/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1356659134043892666&amp;postID=6134384131745522460' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1356659134043892666/posts/default/6134384131745522460'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1356659134043892666/posts/default/6134384131745522460'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://outsidethecocoon.blogspot.com/2009/05/sweetest-heartache.html' title='The sweetest heartache'/><author><name>Tyaly</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_DjqT3KkOVns/ShV3mlPoNEI/AAAAAAAAADY/L1p0-1AMrug/s72-c/1935640424_2b6d818d7c.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1356659134043892666.post-7343104242680133609</id><published>2009-03-29T17:33:00.004+01:00</published><updated>2009-07-21T17:15:29.957+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='campus'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ploaie'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='paste'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='revision'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='protest'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='primavara'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='panini'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='London'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='anti-globalisation'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='vreme'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Londra'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='G20'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='vacanta'/><title type='text'>Operatiunea D.A.D.</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_DjqT3KkOVns/SmXpk3rk2PI/AAAAAAAAADo/3T5S1F-gC5Y/s1600-h/proteste.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5360947751085725938" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 244px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_DjqT3KkOVns/SmXpk3rk2PI/AAAAAAAAADo/3T5S1F-gC5Y/s400/proteste.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt;Pe fundalul vremii innorate, inceputul vacantei , pustiirea campusului si protestele contra reuniunii G20, o noua operatiune va intra in actiune: Operatiunea D.A.D.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt;In Londra nu e primavara, sunt 4 anotimpuri in aceeasi zi. Te trezesti pe timp de primavara cu copacii infloriti in geam.&lt;br /&gt;Iei pranzul pe iarba langa rau/canal/ in tricou si razi ca si cum ar fi vara.&lt;br /&gt;Abia ajungi la jumatatea sandwich-ului (sau fratele mai cool 'panini') ce oricum are ceva sos care deja a curs peste tot pe tricoul nou, cand incepe sa ploua.Notiunea de 'ploaie de vara' , 'ploaie calda' nu exista.Toate ploile sunt reci, cu picuri mici ca ace.&lt;br /&gt;Mai apare cate o raza de soare doar ca sa-ti faca in ciuda si fugi in casa.&lt;br /&gt;Frigul se lasa exact cand esti tu gata sa iesi in oras.Astfel trebuie sa-ti schimbi toata tinuta.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maine,luni este teoretic prima zi de vacanta, care se combina cu revision.Astfel te mint ca ai 4 saptamani vacanta ,cand de fapt ar fi intelept sa te apuci cat mai repede de invatat materia de pe un an intreg.&lt;br /&gt;Anul asta am 6 examene a 3 ore.Totul se datoreaza in principal francezei,care mi-a oferit grozava oportunitate de a-mi dubla numarul de examene:)).Asa ca ,pentru diploma mea de relatii internationale am 3 examene,si pt 'optional' aka franceza am inca 3.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Campusul e pustiu.Si vezi asta cel mai bine in biblioteca dupa 12[noaptea].De ceva vreme biblioteca este deschisa 24 de orei/7 zile .Daca te duceai saptamana trecuta pe la 12-1 era agitatie la parter, abia gaseai un calculator la etajul 1 si la etajul 2 toate mesele mari erau ocupate-&gt;trebuia sa stai la o masa mica fara priza pt laptop.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-STYLE:

/&gt;Primul protest a fost ieri, pasnic, insa vor fi toata saptamana si se crede ca vor deveni violente.&lt;br /&gt;Ma intreb cu va influenta asta transportul in comun.Stiu, sunt o pragmatica.&lt;br /&gt;Ma gandeam la Bucuresti.Tin minte ca atunci cand avut loc summit-ul, auzisem de ceva grup anti-globalizare care inchiriasera o hala sau un depozit (nu mai stiu) si faceau ceva conferinta paralela.Asta pana au fost dati afara si arestati.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;G20 e un fel de G8 extins.Superputeri si tari mari ca populatie.E clar ca e important,desi mi-e greu sa vad vreo utilitate.In sensul ca se vorbeste despre actiune colectiva-o criza financiara globala trebuie tratata de natiuni global- sau despre sprijinirea tarilor nedezvoltate.Contradictoriu intr-un fel:Hai sa actionam colectiv sa ne salvam din recesiune dar hai sa dam bani tarilor nedezvoltate.It's one or the other.Stiu toti care va fi.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cu toate astea, pentru mine ,de maine (luni) va intra in actiune Operatiunea D.A.D.&lt;br /&gt;Voi reveni cu un jurnal al operatiunilor interioare.&lt;br /&gt;[10 puncte pt cel care ghiceste la ce ma refer]&lt;div

id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5312145833045831266" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've been in London since September.Twice or more a week I use the same lines, as in the Central Line and the Piccadilly Line.Summing up :7 months , on an average 60 times in the underground.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A few days ago, on Monday I was going to a meeting in  South London.I left one hour early, although the trip would only take 30 min.Why?Because something always happens,whenever I have something IMPORTANT, something happens.&lt;br /&gt;And I was right, half way I hear the on-so-familiar 'person under tracks'.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That made me think&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've been in London for 7 months.However, only in the last 3 weeks while using 3 different lines, I heard the 'person under tracks' 3 times.&lt;br /&gt;WHY?&lt;br /&gt;Is just my 'odd luck'?What were the chances for me to come across in 3 weeks 3 suicides?&lt;br /&gt;Even more, on 3 different lines?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I had to explore....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Statistics say that the biggest number of suicides happen during Winter holidays, between Christmas and New Year's eve with a bigger number on New Year's Eve.&lt;br /&gt;But it's March...this can't be it!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Valentines?People might feel depressed that they don't have some to share the holiday with.&lt;br /&gt;STILL.that was last month...this can't be it!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Could it be our old good Credit Crunch?&lt;br /&gt;So to speak, the big boom of the Credit Crunch was last year, people realising the disaster, losing jobs.I can see the dispair.However why did they wait until now?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SO I came up with this theory...&lt;br /&gt;It's the Credit Crunch.People lost their jobs,but probably had some savings and some hope for a new jobs.When the money run out and the hopes died, the number of  time that employes of the London Underground have to say 'person under trakcs' increased.&lt;br

interesant.&lt;br /&gt;Lansand la o parte evenimente la care am avut acces:vezi vernisaj Mircea Cantor(voi reveni cu un post), petrecerea EUNIC si altele , spiritul meu de detectiv este gadilat sa zic cel putin;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nimic nu e deschis.Conversatii scurte.Simple.La obiect.&lt;br /&gt;Tocmai asta iti da de banuit.Te-ai fi asteptat la mai multa caldura la o echipa care a plecat din Bucuresti in acelasi timp spre o aventura londoneza.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sa incep:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dupa cum ziceam, in postul anterior(vezi Aventura ICRirana (I) ) cand am venit initial in biroul deschis, care teoretic ar trebui sa produca o relationare mai buna intre colegii, lucrau 4 persoane(2 project manager, 1 director adjunct , 1 secretaro-contabil ) + 2 birouri ,unul pentru directoare si celalalt pentru administrator.Astia erau oamenii principali, restul (fara suparare) ii consider anexe.REZUMAT[1]: 6 oameni.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Inceputul&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Intr-o zi&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; , nu mult dupa ce am ajuns, apare  dupa pranz Catalina(de departe cea mai frumoasa tipa din cladire) cu un certificat de casatorie.Aflu ca se casatorise cu un anume Lance,cetatean englez.Ma gandesc,hm,simpatic si-a gasit pe cineva.&lt;br /&gt;Sunt din fire o persoana curioasa, asa ca am profitat de a)pauza de masa b)un document de facut pentru ea , ca sa arunc o privire peste certificat.Casatorie recenta.Diferenta de 25 ani.Ea fiind de aproape 2 ani in Londra.Cerere de cetatenie britanica&lt;br /&gt;Hmm.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dupa Sarbatorile de Iarna, apar la birou, Catalina disparuse.Aflu ca isi luase concediu de odihna dupa perioada normala de vacanta si apoi nu mai aparuse.Plecase la Brussels cu noul sot.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;REZUMAT[2]: 5 persoane&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Vernisajul Mircea Cantor&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Am fost foarte entuziasmata cand am primit o invitatie.M-am imbracat cat mai artistic am putut si am plecat cu masina institutului eu, directoarea adjuncta si administratorul.&lt;br /&gt;In masina, directoarea adjuncta vorbea despre ceva actiune in Martie(vernisajul avand loc in februarie), apoi isi da seama si zice catre Bogdan :'A, dar pe tine nu te mai intereseaza'&lt;br /&gt;HOPA&lt;br /&gt;Profit lasatul de fumat al directoarei si-l chem pe Bogdan(administratorul) la o tigara.Il intreb ce a vrut directoarea sa zica, si-mi transmite ca si-a dat demisia.Planuieste sa ramana in Londra.(nu vrea sa se intoarca la Bucuresti).
