21 again

At some point I realised why Tudor chose this number for the game. Now I forgot. But just seeing the name on his blog, I felt the need to redifine myself again. So, here we go... The 21 words that define me now

  1. moody
  2. red
  3. dream
  4. reality
  5. IC 2008
  6. melancholic
  7. curious
  8. uncertain
  9. tanned :P
  10. confident
  11. challenging
  12. air
  13. water
  14. bracelets
  15. family
  16. hugs
  17. eyes
  18. books
  19. story
  20. memories
  21. future

I suppose they are so diferent from what I wrote about 1 year ago. I will read that also, but not now... Now, this is me... from Brazil, in a thinking and melancholic mood (very sleepy also).

Inspirational

Tonight, I didn't feel that good so I was trying to order my thoughts in the swings that are here. At some point, Ruth (the CCP) came and we started to talk... It was one of the most inspirational talks I had lately and it reminded me of another talk I had in February with someone else.

You know why I was selected in the CC team? Because I had a good application, because I was from Romania (Ruth said she supported me from the very begining because she was sure that a Romanian AIESECer will do a great job) and because I would bring diverity to the team (my AIESEC XP is a little bit different of that of the other CC memebers - former MC, EB, trainees, etc.). Knowing this makes me feel a lot more aware of my role here, makes me feel motivated not only by my enthusiasm...

Talking to her I understood the power of believing in what you are doing, the power of perseverence, and the power of dreaming. I loved talking to her, sharing our plans for the future... You know what amazed me the most? The fact that she admitted she lived in a bubble for the last years, but now she is looking forward to start her new career outside AIESEC, here in Brazil, thousands of kilometers away from Australia.

Ruth is a really special person. And I felt this from the very first speech she held us. I'm so happy I get to work with her :)

Lazy winter day

I woke up really early. At first, I didn't understand why it was so dark nor why everbody around me was still sleeping. After 2 hours of thinking and being really quiet, my day started. Semi-hot shower, delicious breakfast, a walk in the city.

The city is really small and very crowded. A lot of cars, especially old Beetles, horrible traffic, nice people, a little bit of shopping. And then, the church with the really nice view. I feel like I'm living the Marquez's novels. It's a painful sun, the poverty, the streets... However, the hill from the hotel property reminds me of home (actually, of Rachitele, TRIX, Rox, Lupo, Vladutz).

A light lunch and a lovely dessert (water mellon, pie, peaches) followed by a bath in the swimming pool. Even though the water was really cold, I had fun with Sandra and Anthony. I's a wonderful feeling to be free to do whatever you want. I think that today was my first day of holliday (and the last one because tommorow we start the agenda). I read a little, funny book (Actually, this book is a present for someone, but I couldn't help not reading it) and took a sun bath.

Tonight, we'll go to rodeo. I can't wait!

Oh, I'm in a small city near Sao Paolo (I can't remember the name right now, but we call it Ita)... and it's winter in Brazil :)

P.S: Thanx Dora, Gabelu for the feedback you gave me on the application form!
