FRUITY BARS!!!

CULTURAL AWARENESS.


About Romanian people. 
My belive is that Romanian people are hospitable  people and always there to help there friends in hard times. 
 However, the hard times we live in, the general state of poorness can sometimes get the best of us and can make us be selfish and think about ourselves first and only then about other people, about animals or nature. 
Here is an amassing video about all that Romanians did for the world




WHAT MOTIVATES PEOPLE TO CHANGE?


I think that one of the reasons people would want change is the hope that something better will come after it: a better house, a better job, a better life. 
As long as good things come with change, change is good but, we also have to remember to cherish the things we have and be aware of the fact that change doesn't necessarily mean something better.




 Winston Churchill quotes
“There is nothing wrong with change, if it is in the right direction”


My most valuable photo



I took this photo while i was, with my high school class in a trip in Italy. 
As you all probably quested by now, this is the Sistine Chapel painted by Michelangelo from the Vatican City. 
This is one of the scenes that Michelangelo painted from the book of Genesis and it represents the iconic image of the Hand of God giving life to Adam, the moment of man creation. 
This picture is special for me not only for it's symbolic meaning but also because it reminds me of my high school years and all the fun that we had in this trip. 







What about this picture here? What do you think it might represent?

Brand names

Nike, originally known as "Blue Ribbon Sports", was founded by University of Oregon track athlete Philip Knight and his coach Bill Bowerman in January 1964.
In February 1972, BRS introduced its first line of Nike shoes, with the name Nike derived from the Greek goddess of victory.The Nike shoos logo represents the wing in the famous  Goddess , who was the source of inspiration for many great and courageous warriors.  
Since then Nike became a well known name throughout the world.

None of the countries in witch Nike is present did not change the name of the brand, as it may happen in some cases. For example the automobile company Daewoo has a car model named Cielo in Romania but in Japan the same car is named Sky.
You can not change Nike in any other name because Nike is the name of a god, it represents power and victory.

What did you do last summer?

I think '' GREECE'' says it all.
Yes, last summer me and my sister were in Greece.
I was already living there for almost a year but, the adventure started when my sister arrived.
First thing that we did after her putting foot in Greece was going to the sea for a long swim. we found a really nice beach close to Athens, on the Aegean shore,and just could not say no.
It took us three day to visit the center of Athens.We visited the the Acropolis hill, the Olympic stadium,the museums, the arch of Hadrianand others.On the top of the Acropolis hill stands The Parthenon ,a temple  dedicated to the Greek goddess Athena, whom the people of Athens considered their patron. Its construction began in 447 BC and was completed in 438 BC, although decorations of the Parthenon continued until 432 BC. It is the most important surviving building of Classical Greece, generally considered to be the culmination of the development of the Doric order. Its decorative sculptures are considered some of the high points of Greek art.

In the night we took long walks and had the chance to admire Greece and all its beauty without hundredes of people around.
We aet the traditional Suvlaki and tasted the faimous tzatziki sos.

Our only regret was that the summer was so sort.

A little more about myself.....

The Truman Show


     Peter Weir directed this comedy-drama, a commentary on all-pervasive media manipulation. 
Truman Burbank (Jim Carrey) is unaware that his entire life is a hugely popular 24-hour-a-day TV series. In this real-time documentary, every moment of Truman's existence is captured by concealed cameras and telecast to a giant global audience. His friends and family are actors who smile pleasantly at Truman's familiar catchphrase greeting, "In case I don't see you later, good afternoon, good evening, and good night!" Employed at an insurance company, Truman is married to merry Meryl (Laura Linney), and they live in the cheerful community of Seahaven, an island "paradise" where the weather is always mild and no unpleasantness intrudes. 
    This is the basic situation of the series, which has grown over the years into a billion-dollar franchise for the TV network. As an unwanted pregnancy, Truman was adopted by the network and raised in the zoolike environment of a TV soundstage. Thus, the TV audience became hooked when Truman was very young. 
    Now, at age 30, he still doesn't know he's a prisoner on an immense domed city-size soundstage, simulating Seahaven. Both the illusion and the ratings will collapse if Truman ever leaves Seahaven. In addition to elaborate events staged to make sure he stays put, Truman is given constant reminders of how wonderful Seahaven is compared to dangers in other parts of the world. However, his growing suspicions make him curious enough to try to leave, and the show's director and master manipulator Christof (Ed Harris) must constantly devise ways to thwart Truman's escape attempts. 
    To enter the harbor, Truman must overcome his fear of water, intentionally instilled in him when his father "died" in a boating accident and was written out of the script.
