First Easter in Poland

Easter is almost over, today is the Second day, starting tomorrow back to work. Holiday is over, and for some people also the thought about God.
What is about all this Easter? Why do we have it?
For me Easter was just a normal classic holiday in which we eat a lot, drink a lot and watch TV. And that was it, no particular meaning, although in TV there were like a lot of priests speaking about religion. And that was it.
From a couple of years now i ve started to see Easter differently, i have started to finally understand the meaning of this particular celebration. It is a celebration of death and live, it is a celebration of hope and of amazing joy.
Easter is very important as it is the day when Jesus won the world for us. He was crucified like a lamb, because of our sins. And the 03rd day he rise from the death, showing us that all of us who believe in Him and follow Him will have eternal life.
This year was my first Easter after i ve been baptized. Although now i understand more things and i now the kind of life that i should have and live, i am still not doing it as it should be:(. And this is what i have seen during this particular Easter. It seems like i am not reading the Bible, i am not praying enough. I do not know why. Maybe because i am all alone here, i have this tendancy of doing all other things but not to sit in God presence. This is what i have realised, that although i ve been baptized i am still a sinner. And i am very happy that Jesus took my sin's whith Him at the cross.
I would like to be more responsible about this relation with God. I want to be more interested in understanding the word of God. I want to feal God's presence in my life every minute. I know He is with me.
God please help me proritizing my life for You. There is nothing more important in my life then You.
Thank you !

My new appartment

Finnally i found my appartment, which is very close to office, so in the morning i can wake up late and go to office. Also is very close so that in lunch brakes if i want i can come back home for lunch, so it is very comfortable.
Is quite a nice appartment that i found and it is also at a good price. It is in a new flat, and it has 2 rooms and kitchen and bathroom. There is very little furniture so it looks kind of empty, but i guess i am getting used to it as empty as it is.
Sometimes i feel very lonely in this appartment as i am alone, so i am now thinking to buy a dog, although i am not that sure that i will have time for this animal which requires special care and attention.
So basically i am in contradiction because even now, i am thinking to buy one, but a couple of minutes ago i was convinced that is not such a good idea, so i guess i am kind of crazy:).


also there is another possibility which is to go and be a volunteer at the pound, which casually it is here near my appartment, so i guess it would be a perfect solution. Tomorrow my boss will take me to this pound so that i can check it out, and i will speak with team and let's see what can i do. Maybe i can go and play with the dogs, walk them even there. That should be awsome:).
I have added some pictures with my new flat, now i just need to buy some more things, as it is not fully equiped, and with the risk of repeating myself , it is an empty appartment. I can not wait for my friends from Romania to come and see it:).

Hope that day will come soon. Although my friends were planning to come here in May or June, it seems that due to various reasons this is not duable, so who knows when they will be actually able to come. This is a bad news for me, as i was very happy when i have heard that there might be a chance that they come.



Howver let's see how things will work out:) In the meanwhile, enjoy my new appartment from the pictures.
See ya later,

Life without computer's

This weekend i have experienced an entire weekend without tv or computer. And it was amazing.
What did i do? just relax, roam around my new appartment, go out in the city, read, pray and have a wonderfull time.
I have also tried to develop my artistical skills, so my friend and i went to the shop and bought some painting with Winnie the Pooh. So we started painting and painting and painting. And it is amazing how relaxing it is. To see the live colors of the paint, oao it was a great experience and i am planning to repet it.
I think it will help me to develop and to improve a missing skill in me, which is patient.
I need to be more calm, and not always in a hurry. So painting helps me with that.
But enough with the talking as i need to go to office, the paintings are below.
Hope you enjoyed reading this lines about my weekend.

Short story

This is me. I am a normal person i guess, however sometime i have diffrent ups and downs in my mind and in my life. So for example this weekend was a nice one, and week started well. I am still searching for a rent here in Lublin Poland, however it seems that prices are really high. I have seen three apartments untill now, i liked two of them very much, but in my oppinion the price is really high. So now i need to search something else quickly, otherwise i will take one of these two.
I did a mistake this Monday; i wanted to change my hair style a little bit, and i did it. I went to this saloon here in Lublin, called Bianco e Nero, and i had my hair done. And is very strange, i am not that happy with my new look. Actually i am kind of sad, because i ve been growing my hair from sometime now, and suddenly is kind of short., But i am sure it will grow back soon, so i do not want to stress about this.
At work things are going well, team is great and performance is a good one. I want to join a guitar course, classic guitar. So, tommorrow is my first lesson, and a free lesson. I hope it will be nice, cause i really want to get involved in extra activities, in order to meet people, and not to get bored. So I am very excited:D.

I miss my friends, every day is getting more difficult for me, but i am glad that there are people who are connecting with me. So all for the best!!!

Living in Lublin Poland

So, officially from 01st of April, actually from 05th of April i am living in Lublin Poland. As any new citizen in a new city i need to find a house. Currently i am staying in a nice hotel in the center of Lublin - Vanilla. Yes, interesting name, and what is even more interesting is that inside this hotel indeed there is a constant smell of Vanilla:). It is very nice. My room is a very purple room, i mean that walls, bed, courtains and chairs are all purple. So it is interesting. My small window is oriented versus the main center street, and first night here, i had a live band singing :). By live band i mean 3 guys, one with a guitar singing Polish songs. It was like a serenade, quite nice if i may say.
Tomorrow is Sunday and i am moving into a new appartment untill i find the final one. Let's see how this will be, i think it will be ok, nice and comfortable.
After that i will need to move into my final appartment for this 1.5 years that i will live in Poland. Actually...i did not find this appartment yet, and renting appartments is not my favorite job, not to forget that prices here in Lublin are not as small as i thought. So...fingers crossed for a nice appartment.
How is work? Well i have my office which is in an open area, and it is near the window, i have a new chair, which is blue and has a lot of features, so i guess you can actually sleep in this chair if you really want. I brought some pictures with my team and my friends, and i hang them near my office, so is quite cosy and nice:). With the Polish team, things are good, i think that we do not have so many challenges in communication. Sometimes is strange for me too, to see them talking and not to understand what they are saying but i guess this is normal in any forreign country.

That's it for the moment about my Polish experience ... to be continued:)

Sadness

What is this feeling that comes around and takes you by surprise? When you are under the impression that everything is ok, all is taking the right place in your normal life, you have one small feeling, that surrounds your heart. Physically you actually are able to feel it, is like something in your throat, is a tear in your right eye, is an invisible circle around your soul that is closing slowly.
Why you may ask? something happened? actually nothing happend is just a phase, in which loneliness reaches you, and you feel abbandoned by everyone.
You check your inbox every 5 minutes, and nobody is writing to you.
You are expecting that special email from that special someone and is not coming. And then your sadness and loneliness feeling grows and grows. I would love to have a dog, and have him close to me. I would love to have a friend with me. I would love to have a mother with me. I would love to have a sister with me. I would love to have a brother with me, i would love to have a soulmate with me.
I have God. It is true! I have my Father with me, so why i feel sad and lonely? Jesus is here, in the room with me. He is looking and me trying to get me out of this state of mind.
Question is: what will i do? Will i give Him a hand to help me out? or would i push back?

03rd April 2011 - Born again

Long time no seen.
Actually i have been home to Romania for a weekend, in order to celebrate my birth. You may say but it is not your birthday and you are right. This day was far much special then my birthday. Why? Because in this day i died, i died and i have been resurected by the love of God. I am a new person now. God has given me another opportunity to live my life in a diffrent way.
The celebration of this day was amazing. I was surrounded by my family and friends,brothers and sisters, it was amazing.
A day that i will always remember.
Thank you Jesus, for giving me another chance.

Travelling

Well finally i am going home to Romania for a weekend, and i am very happy. However i am tired. Today was Friday and i am up since 06:30 AM, i had a full day of work and then i reached Warsaw airport, where i sat for some hours and i got bored. This boring period develped a set of great pictures and i was able to see an amazing sunset from the Warsaw airport. Took the flight and as there is no direct flight to Cluj, my city, i ve reached Budapest, where again i need to wait a couple of hours more. Good news is that i have internet :) So i am not that bored.

I am very tired. I can not wait to arrive home and have a good slep:) Of course i want to see my family and my pets:) i missed them so much.

So...this is it, airport looks fine, all good, 35 minutes to go, and then another our and a half and i am at home:)

Just for a weekend though,

Bye bye...
