i just saw “fast food nation” – a movie produced in 2006…about the real price of fast food…
i am shocked…
i knew a lot of bullshit about the fast food…but i am still shocked…
they show how they kill the cows…how they work to kill the cows…
how they prepare flavours for the tastles meat…and how they feed the cows with genetically modified shit…
they retell about how they deposit the cow shit in big lakes that just grow and grow and they end in rivers…
they show how people make compromises for not losing their job…
well, one of the bad guys (bruce willis) is right…in this life there is a little bit of shit in everything…
i eat only chicken meat…i dont really like pork because i believe its stincky …just a greedy animal that eats whatever you give him…
and the cows…i love the milk…but their eyes tell you everything…they are wonderfull creatures…and believe me after you see how they kill them….you will never eat beef again…

yes…i found my peace…
i got along with the idea that i am leaving this company, and the great team in which i worked…
yesterday me and my friends went on a terasse and said good-bye…we tried to make it no too sad because the world is small…it was confirmed to me so many times…and i believe it..
i am happy that i will see Romania again…probably not for longer then 20 days but it is great anyways:)
until now my 100% sure option is NIKE Amsterdam…and i should start on 1 July…but until then i have exams, family and friends to visit, AIESEC people to meet…papers to make for work permit…so it will be a full period spent back home…
so i am enjoying my last days here in Frankfurt…with my friends from here and with a smile on my face…eager to travel and try some more things that will help me in my race for personal growth!
i am really glad that i participated at the big HR conference that my company had yesterday…so that now i perfectly know that this company is nice but it suits me only 60%…so i will not stop…i will continue looking for a company that suits me better…and if i dont find one until i really really miss home and want to go back to Romania…i will just start my own business…that will suit me 100%:)

it is a real art…
i almost forgot about it …
my friend Raluca called me the superbionic woman…so i guess that i dont realize it…but i am doing it…i am living each moment of my life live:P…and because of the speed i sometimes forget…the art of being happy…
is all that a human being could wish for…to be a master in the art of being happy…
i discovered it years and years ago…when i was taking acting classes…and improve classes…when together with an amazing team, we made a 50 minutes improve show that everybody was laughing in hohote:)…and i realized how beautiful it is to be happy for the small things that life gives you…
i am happy with my life, i am happy for the great people i have met along the years, i am happy with this amazingly full week, i am happy with this tireing day, with speaking German with grammer mistakes for 10 hours:)), with staying in a comfy bed, with drinking my favourite juice…grapefruit juice…with writing…finally finding time for writing, i am happy for the cool air that comes through the window…i enjoy even the clouded sky, the yellow light that i see through my window from the Commerz Bank sky scraper, i am happy for my Christmas plant that is still alive…even in May…and She is beautiful, i am happy cause i feel loved…and i am happy cause i got to know Germany and its people…i am happy cause i am writing with green…and i am happy because i know that no matter what i choose in life, i should enjoy it…and there are no “bad” choices…are only ways of going through life…and if you do it, it should be fun…and i am happy cause i listen to Robbie Williams…”and did it myyy wayyyy”…i wish you to enjoy it as much as i am: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qxc1E11yhik

i am talking about my internship…
i have an american friend that says “sweet” instead of “smart, cool, or nice”…
i am part of the event management team of a huge HR conference…and guess what…i am the only foreigner…so i guess i am pretty damn good if they picked me up:)
so it is getting sweeter and sweeter…at the end…but i took a good decision…
until now…i was retelling you that i had second thoughts…that sometimes i thought i should have extended…but today i have a nice friendly relaxed talk with my boss…
it is as i forcasted…no future career oportunities…just 6 more months and thats it…maybe more interesting responsibilities…but still…no chance for future thoughts…so is better this way but i am glad that these last days are soo sweet:)
cheers,
the BIG people have horrible plans for ROmania May 7, 2007

“We fucked up the west and now we’re coming to Romania. We’ll fuck all the agriculture here” – Ex Pioneer CEO declaration
now it is obvious why after joining EU, Romania has to respect some interesting rules…one of the most important concerning agriculture.
our economy is 60-70% based on agriculture. in such a situation, EU is imposing us not make agriculture anymore, because it should be done at industrial level, not each peasants family with his own piece of land. so peasants dont afford to buy land to make a business out of agriculture, but big giants from other country afford to buy our land and plant OMG crops (genetically modified organisms)…
it is so simple…22.000 000 of Romanians are just too many to be safe…is a big market on which you can sell bullshit because there is no quality system in place…
and out of 22.000 000 who know how many are still liniving in the country…3 000 000 are for sure in Italy and Spain, there are 300 000 working in US…legally…but unlegally…who knows how many?
i am really sad for my country…and i feel angry but ….what is there to be done?

never say “the last AIESEC conference” May 7, 2007
Posted by armina in Uncategorized.add a comment
that is what i said when i was Event Manager 6 weeks ago for Trainings Akademie (un fel de Trainers Camp:))…but…this last weekend i was chair at a Newbees conference…i didnt think that i will such an opportunity again, that i will have time and that i will enjoy it so much:))
so now i will never say “this is the last one” again…because you never know…
i felt like in the old times…i gave them a lot of my energy and they gave me a lot of energy also…
and the most surprising thing…again, for the 1000 time in my life…it prooves the world is so small!!! I met Ahmed – a trainee in AIESEC Kaiserslauten…he is from Morrocco and was MCVP OGX in Tunisia (and also SN manager for the Tunisian SN that was supposed to come in AIESEC Pitesti:)) but there are delays because of the burocracy) and he had a previous internship in AIESEC Eskishehir in Turkey in 2005 where he met all the 12 trainees (girls) from AIESEC Pitesti that were teaching English in highschools:))) so the world IS really small..i mean…what were the chances???
i met also another nice person…a Sweedesh girl that has been living in Sweeden only for the first 3 years of her life and then her parents moved in UAE and in Luxemburg and now in Germany for the last 7 years…and she is studying Intercultural Communication (uni courses of 5 years!!!)…i think it is amazying and it sound really cool!…and we talked also about cultural sensitivity and…we got to the point of “reintegration when you go back”…delicate subject…i think i will need reintegration…if i will stay longer…if not…i should just consider it a visit to Romania for a few weeks…she said that you need 3 months to reintegrate…and it is as if you would Integrate in a foreign country…because yes…as much as i would say that Germany is not so different…actually it is …and i will see it and feel it for real when i will get back home…
hugs!
strange feelings May 4, 2007

strange feelings because there are so many things happening in the same time…
i had the second and the third interview with KRAFT and they said NO because i have too much experience and there would be no challenge for me to do that job…so …i am overqualified…again…so i thought… i should stop applying to internships and start looking for a serious job…
but guess what…they said they could offer me a full time job if i could wait 2-4 weeks…so my question to myself is…can i wait?…i am so tired of waiting and not knowing what is going to happen with my professional life after 1 of June 
on the other hand i established my leaving date…17-18 May…on one side i am happy, i am going back home, i am going to see my family and my friends, but on the other hand…there are so few days until i will leave…that i feel like enjoying every moment, not taking any break, spending as much time as possible with these wonderful people i have met here…and that i might never see again…
i ended up liking Frankfurt and enjoying the strange weather that is in this town, lovin the Main river, and enjoying German peoples company…
yesterday i moved into a new place…in the center of Frankfurt…10 minutes from the river and a German friend helped me to move out…and i saw an advertisment on a wall: “Berlin hat Knut, Frankfurt hat Schwein” and i started to lough…and he told me that he is worried…if i started to enjoy German jokes it means i staied too long in Germany…
well i guess i will go wherever i get the best job offer…but is not time for me yet to go back to Romania…i will postpone Bucharest for next year:)
