29

Today I’m 29. Older and wiser.

We just got back from a trip to Venice which was Adi’s birthday present to me and a surprise. His first successful surprise All his other attempts were destroyed by my curiosity or my mother’s care to call me and make sure my house is clean (the surprise he intended was an unannounced visit)

We stayed at a lovely hotel and walked the beautiful streets and little bridges of Venice, it was amazing.

I got so many calls this morning from my whole family starting with all my 20 cousins to parents and grandparents. All wishes ended with: “and now… a baby” and then silence from my end… So I’m really getting older it seems…  

Oh, and I also got a “Happy birthday and bank account change notice” mail from my bank. Now that I‘m 29, I will pay bigger interest on any credit that I might take…

This evening on the metro …

- The Turkish guy who was sitting across me started crying while talking on the phone. I reacted as any other compassionate human being, turned my head and pretended I hadn't noticed. Turned out though he just had a really bad cold and that’s why his eyes were watery. Not such a good news for me since I was sitting very close to him. Good thing I turned my head when I did ...

- A middle aged Asian couple got caught without a ticket.They pretended for 10 minutes to be looking for the ticket in the woman’s purse. When the train finally stopped at a station and the doors opened, they became the fastest Asian couple I’ve ever seen. Got caught though … unfortunately – I was kinda ruling for them …

- At the next stop, five teenagers were having their picture taken at the metro (?!). All of them were very loud and happy. They were all photographed showing the finger to the guy who was taking the picture. A lady was watching them candidly and smiling, like a mother would watch her son playing in the sand. Seemed kinda funny considering they were all flipping her…

Happy new year!

Fact #3 about Denmark: Danes and karting mania

Today we had one of the best team building events at work. All of us headed for a karting race in Copenhagen and raced there in teams of two for about 3 hours. It was the first time I ever tried the go-karts. Bumper cars and racing against children in small karts doesn’t count.

Anyway, although in real life I am a really sucky driver, to my great surprise I was quite good at karting. Probably because speeding and bumping into others was OK here. And I also suspect the fact that there weren’t any distractions along the lap also helped, most of my accidents on the road were because I got distracted by something else .

But continuing along the title of this post, all the Danes in my team were really good. It seems karting is a big hobby in Copenhagen and people are doing it on a regular basis. There are even special clubs at work places for people to join and go kart racing every other week. It’s a bit ironic I thought as most of the Danes and Danish government advocate (actually the government enforces it through their huge taxes on cars) for less and less cars.

The kart racing is also pretty expensive as most things in Denmark, but usually if there’s a club at work for this, the company will pay for part of the expense.

So, yes, a really fun event today, did not love the (a bit) dirty suits and heavy helmets very much but at least it was better than the last event where we had to wear sumo wrestlers suits

Divorce rate

Last post started from the thought of the upcoming office Christmas party which generated the thought about divorces which drove me to look up divorce rates in the Nordic countries. Not very surprisingly, the divorce rate in Scandinavia is the highest in the world. Only Norway has the lowest divorce rate among Scandinavian countries at about 42%.

• Sweden 55%
• Finland 52%
• Denmark 46%
• Norway 42%

I forgot to look up Iceland, but anyway…

So basically we could safely assume that almost half the marriages will end up in a divorce. This happens in Scandinavia where people marry usually very late after they’ve already been living for years together and had several children together. If a marriage is to happen so late, we would assume is very unlikely to end up in a divorce. And it still does, for 50% of the marriages.

In the 50% that’s left of the marriages we can still assume that there is some percentage that don’t get along and would end up in a divorce if it wasn’t for the kids or other things that make them reconsider the divorce. But those people are still unhappy and on their way to divorce so we could assume that actually the percentage of marriages that fail is greater than the ones that succeed.

With these percentages in mind, I’m thinking that “until death do us part” doesn’t make much sense anymore besides it actually being a stupid old phrase. Turns out there’s a greater chance that something else will get in the way before death gets there. So maybe the whole attitude towards marriage it’s not the right one.

Seems that marriage does not have the same significance it had hundred of years ago (at least not in the developed countries, we should not forget that India still has a 1.1% divorce rate ).

Marriage it’s not a bond for life anymore, but more a way of celebrating the fact that after a long time spent together, two people are still able to love each other and be part of each other’s life. And that’s actually quite an accomplishment.

With every more year spent together people should be happy and grateful that they are still together. If you think like that it’s much harder to take your partner for granted as it usually happens in marriages (because of the “till death do us part” thing). If you scratch that phrase and replace it with “till we are not happy together anymore”, then since you know that your partner will leave you once he/she’s not happy anymore or you could do the same thing, I think it’s going to be much easier to appreciate and be grateful for your partner and your happiness.

Fact #2 about Denmark: Best time to buy a house

This is funny, but as Homer would say: “It’s funny cause it’s true”.

One of the first things I learned after coming to Denmark was that Danes get very very crazy at the Christmas parties, crazy drunk that is. And when you’re drunk like that most of your inhibitions disappear.The result is that married people end up having sex with other married (but not to each other) people from the aforementioned parties.

Thus, the best time to buy a house in Denmark is after Christmas because that means that the wild Christmas party sex happened and people are getting divorced and in a hurry to sell their house and split the earnings.

I guess this was true mostly before the financial crisis, but you never know …

The Big Bang theory

So last Sunday was a lazy lazy Sunday in which I started watching “The Big Bang theory” after one of my geek friends couldn’t stop talking about it …

A bit annoying at the beginning, it turned out to be the funniest shit I’ve watched in a long time. Going to my top favorite comedy series along South Park.

Four geeks and a girl as main characters along with some other sporadically appearing characters most of the them from the geek side also or just the odd kind of people side.

My favorite bits: when Howard (Jewish engineer with a Masters from MIT who still lives with his mother) and Raj (Indian astrophysicist who cannot speak when girls are present unless he’s drunk)  are confronted by Leonard’s mother about their imaginary homo marriage. Her theory is that because these guys could not get girls they have created a gay marriage between them to compensate for their need for affection. Of course the guys are desperate to prove her wrong (because of course they’re not gay). 

Depression awareness

I am still shocked over a news I found out yesterday about a former college colleague of ours who died this week by committing suicide. It’s only 2 entries apart from my posting about the death of my cousin and I know my blog is going to become depressing, but I feel so sad about the news that I wanted to write it down. I didn’t know her very well before, we spoke a little during college, shared the same classes and went to a couple of parties together, but she was a person you could not not notice. Very bright, loud and joyful with that specific intelligent sparkle in her eyes. It’s so sad that she’s already gone without having enough time to show the world her brightness and intelligence.

I didn’t know before because we didn’t stay in touch at all, but she had a blog, parts of which I read yesterday. Really interesting writing, she was so very talented. I think a good part of it was written during her depression years, it is about her battle and it feels a bit depressing or maybe it is like that because we know she’s not here anymore and because her life’s end was so tragic, she lost the battle.

Rest in peace Ana, http://afreuda.wordpress.com

I wanted this post to be about her and about the disease that I dread so much and that doesn’t have merely enough awareness – depression. And about the way people look (judge) at other people who are affected by this disease.

You see, Ana was studying psychology during her last years, almost her entire blog is about this. Would you think that a shrink would be able to commit suicide? You wouldn’t expect that a girl who studies psychology would be able to be depressed, right? But would you expect a doctor that treats cancer patients, to get cancer? That of course it can happen, cancer can affect anyone.

And depression can affect anyone. It is a disease. It’s not a choice.

She knew she was sick, she didn’t see it like something was wrong with her, she was still the same person as before, but suffering from this disease. 

Her blog describes very well the way she felt and the pain that felt almost physical. It was like her brain was defected, she knew it was defected and that she has to fight it, but she just couldn’t control it. She took medications, consulted doctors and shrinks. She did everything.

What I am the most annoyed with is the way people look upon this disease.People that think it’s just a sign of weakness and if you “quit being stupid” you could easily snap out of it. Can you do that with cancer? WTF.

And the way people look upon the ones who die by committing suicide. Like it is a sin. Well, taking the word “sin” literally is a sin, but that is wrong. Depression is not a choice and thus taking your own life because you were affected by depression is not a choice. Why should this be a sin? Why should you condemn anyone because he was sick? Isn’t this just another discrimination created by old narrow minds?

Fact #1 about DK - Cycling in heels

It’s not uncommon in Denmark for women to cycle wearing heels and mini skirts. If you ever visited Copenhagen during the summer and if you’re a guy, this would have been probably one of the first things to notice.

And from my experience, it is far easier to ride in heels than walk in heels

About V.

More than a year ago something happened that changed me. 13th of December 2008. It was the day that my cousin died. I’ve been thinking about that day a lot lately. Somehow I avoided it until recently. You ignore it and hope it will go away.

It wasn’t only the fact that he died when he was only 33 years old, but the way he died. He committed suicide.

My cousin and I were very close when we were little, like I was with almost all my cousins. In our family these bonds are very important and my cousins were always my best friends while I was growing up.
He was 6 years older than me, the oldest of us all. We were enjoying so much hanging out with him as he always had all these interesting things to tell and teach us. And he always had plans and dreams … of what he was going to do with his life…
He was the person who first taught me how to ride a bike. I remember how scared I was that day. He held the bike at all times while I was riding. After a while I got used to it and he was only holding just the side of the chair until, without me knowing it, he let me cycle alone. I managed to ride the bike without any help for exactly 10 seconds until I realized I didn’t have any support. And went straight into a bush But from then on, it wasn’t that difficult anymore ...
He was always joking and seemed to be the most stubborn and strong person you could imagine. I just cannot figure out how someone like that would be able to commit suicide. I thought that people who were choosing to do that must have been very weak. And he definitely wasn’t. He was also a very religious person and since the church is strongly against suicide, his act came more as a shock.

Lately I read a lot about depression and suicide and people who had to deal with this.
The reality is that depression is a very serious disease which is not taken seriously. In most cases people fit depression into the same category as a simple cold or flu. Something that is not serious and that will go away when the weather outside gets better. But without professional help, it rarely does, it almost never does. It isn’t something you can just snap out of by your own will. Without help it becomes deeper and deeper and although to the people around it might look like the person affected by it is getting better, he’s actually trying more and more to hide it. The depression that leads to suicide is characterized by deep despair and hopelessness for a very long time… So that the only way out seems to be death. The best article I found on depression is this one: http://helpguide.org/mental/depression_signs_types_diagnosis_treatment.htm
It helped me understand that this wasn’t something that he really wanted. It was just the disease. And the fact that this happened to him who was one of the strongest persons I knew, could only mean that this disease like any other disease can affect anyone and it’s not a shame to accept it and seek help.

Although I understand now what he went through, the pain doesn’t go away no matter how much I would read and understand over the subject. For the family and friends it’s even more difficult when someone dies by committing suicide. Besides the pain suffered over the loss, the feeling of guiltiness makes it worse. When something like this happens to someone close to you, you cannot not wonder “What if I..” Somehow, with his death, the despair and hopelessness has been transmitted to his friends and family … During the first months after, my heart was pounding every time I heard my phone ringing. I became more sensitive to all kinds of news. I wanted to put an end to my long distance relationship as soon as possible and spend all my time with my husband not only the few days a month we had before. I also considered many times to move back to Romania so that I could be as close as possible to my parents and sister.

It’s hard dealing with the death of someone close to you especially when it happened in a very very tragic way. This kind of event just makes you realize how powerless we are… But I think it would be a mistake to accept the powerless and surrender yourself to despair and depression... No matter how much we cannot control life and death, I think the best you can do is live your life in the best way you can … Do whatever you want whenever you like, break as many rules as possible and don’t be afraid.

After his death, we wanted to do something that would help us remember him not only through our own memories. I knew he was writing poems and we tried to look for them and  publish them but unfortunately they couldn’t be recovered. Maybe this is a reason why I started my own journal blog. Because I would have loved to have a journal of V. to read right now.

Miss you V.

Cafe Coyote y Cantina

This was the best place we ate at so far while in the US. Check out their site.
It's not a fancy restaurant, just a local San Diego restaurant (cantina) in the Old Town. We were there during an American football night, the place was packed with supporters (latinos and not only) who were drinking and eating nachos. It was noisy and cozy at the same time and finally one place where the AC was not on max power on.
I think all the waiters are Mexicans but they speak a perfect English.
The best thing about the place was the food and the tequila. A lot of tequila choices from $5 to around $100 a shot (it was more like a double shot actually).
They make the best and probably spiciest salsa sauce I have ever tasted and the tortilla soup was awesome. I never had tortilla soup before but with my upcoming cold and all (all this AC mania finally got to me) decided to try it. It’s a very interesting combination I wouldn’t thought it would work so good ever before. It’s a chicken broth with chicken pieces, lots of chili, tortilla noodles and … wait for it.. avocado and cheese. Pretty tasty and as everything spicy I’ve already put it on my fav’s list. Will try to make it at home.

Relationship theory

Rambling….
This is a theory I haven’t applied and I don’t intend to apply. I am happily married to the most wonderful man on Earth! And while I was probably one of the lucky ones to find the man with whom I will spend all my years from now on and knew that from our first dates :), there are so many people around me who just cannot seem to find the right person. And I’m just thinking that maybe in some cases there just isn’t the right one…
If we think about it, marriage, wedding and even the whole monogamy thing are just enforced upon us from early childhood by our parents, relatives, society in general. There isn’t actually anyone who can prove that after some point in your life you can be monogamous and spend the rest of your life with that one person – man or woman...
Maybe people weren’t supposed to function like that. And maybe the whole procreation thing wasn’t supposed to be like that. If you think about it, animals mate in general with several partners along their lives and have children with several partners. Maybe people should function the same way. There shouldn’t be one person you should look for but more along your whole life. You shouldn’t have children with only one man/woman but with many – along the life, not at the same time of course…
From a Darwinist point of view this could mean evolution. More genes will cross as you have children with more partners thus more chance for evolution!
So maybe, all those screwed up marriages are not as fucked up as they might seem but just the way things should work towards evolution. And if your parents don’t live together anymore and have other children, maybe this is the way things should be as well and you should be glad you are as unique as you can be. And maybe if it seems that you cannot find the right one, then maybe you should accept the idea that it’s all about the moment, there is a right one at this moment, but no one can guarantee that it will be the right one in 7 years… Of course this doesn’t mean that you can make all kinds of compromises just because you only think about the present and accept anyone… But Forever is such a hard word…

About Americans

 

We are spending our honeymoon in US – East and West coast. It is my fourth visit to US but the first one with my husband. We landed in New York and spent a couple of days there and then flew to Las Vegas and West coast. We’ve been in the US for about 10 days now and I think we’ve seen quite a sample of people while visiting the main cities on the east and west coast.

For me, 80% of the Americans look about the same, no matter if they’re woman or man. There is a certain limit of weight you can put on after which you just cannot look too much like your old self. You start to resemble another kind of people and lose most of your distinct face characteristics. That’s like 80% of the Americans no matter the skin color or gender. And then there is the other 20% of people who are probably expats, New York or LA people.

Every time I see one of the “weight challenged” Americans I cannot stop making the association in my head with all those fat people from Wall-E. Here’s what I am talking about…

And here’s an image of an American.

Can you spot the difference?

The California highways are full of commercials with numbers you can call for a lose weight program and the irony is that the people they use as models in those ads aren’t very lean either. The weight problem it’s so out of control that now an overweight person becomes a model. Most of the Americans are probably morbidly obese already. And that’s in California where I thought people should eat healthier (with all the sea food options and all…)

I think that’s one of the reasons I like Europe (Denmark especially) more. I love my organic low fat milk and cereals in the morning (I think I never ate so many eggs per day in my whole life –a normal omelet is made of 3 eggs here!), no junk sauce salads and organic fresh veggies and meat. US has a LOT of good points about it but food seems to not be one of them…

Continuing my research on that…

The artist’s vision or the client’s vision

 

Which one is more important?

 

I got to thinking about this especially while analyzing my wedding preparations and all the vendors I had to deal with. I know vendor might sound like a harsh word in Romanian, but this is the term used in English. In all the cases here I was the customer.

But I’ve also been in the other situation while designing clothes for my friends. So I think I kind of understand both ends.

I’m not gonna bore you with all the details, I’ll just write down my conclusion.

It is evident that the main judge of the end result is the client. He has to like the outcome because he commissioned it, he’s paying. And the artist/vendor, especially if he is at the beginning of his business, besides getting paid, he also gets to building a portfolio so he actually gets a great deal out of all this. So if the client really knows what he wants, then he needs to get that.

I was just discussing this with some friends the other days and we came to the conclusion that the greatest vendor of all is the one that doesn’t care that much about his vision/style or at least it doesn’t shove it into the client’s face: “Oh I can’t do this hairstyle/dress like you want it cause it’s not my style”. A great professional would be one who before beginning his work would try to figure out what the clients want and who they are. Would be one who didn’t give you any trouble during the preparations and at the end you would see that he read your mind.

I experienced this with my wedding decoration vendors. I had absolutely no push back from them, they listened to everything I wanted (I actually had a clear vision of what I wanted :) ) and at the end they surprised me.Everything was just like I imagined it or even better: like they’ve read my mind. They didn’t come with any claims about their vision, their style; their style could have very subtle been seen into my vision, but my vision was what mattered to them. And yes, because they were so great, I am going to work with them again and recommend them to others.

From the vendor’s point of view, I could say that I wouldn’t be able to accept a request from a friend who came to me and asked me to make her a very classic office suit. These kind of clothes are not really my style, at least not yet, so I am going to say “no” from the start. But after I accept a commission from anyone, then I am going to make sure I’m designing her what she wanted or if the client doesn’t know exactly what she wants, then I’m going to try to figure her out and see what would fit her best.

Romanian weddings

LiveJournal Tags: wedding,romanian,aromanian

I decided to write this post because I was searching for something to direct to some of my friends from abroad who are coming to my wedding, but I couldn’t find anything that would apply to more contemporary weddings in Romania.

I think the first thing worth mentioning is that weddings in Romania are big compared to other weddings. I think 120-150 people attending a wedding is very common. Once I attended a wedding of 400 people. I guess nothing can surpass the Indian weddings ( with 500 to 1500 people invited) but still it’s quite a lot of attendees.

I also have to mention that I am not 100% Romanian, I am Aromanian or Macedo-Vlach (see here  for more details) and thus we have slightly different traditions.

Romanians/Aromanians are orthodox and the Orthodox church only officiates the religious ceremony. To actually sign the wedding certificate you have to go to the city hall. Most of the couples do the city hall thing in the same day with the wedding just before going to the church. We preferred to not make a big fuss of this city hall event (which is usually held in a cold office like room somewhere at the city hall – not really the place to hold a party or come with 50 people after you). We did it 5 months before the actual wedding and went only with my sis and our parents.

Here is the video: http://www.vimeo.com/9257899

The weddings take usually place on a Saturday. The groom and his family are the drivers of all the events.  They start the day by going to the Godparents’ house to honor them. The Godparents are a couple (usually it has to be a married couple) who are the protectors of the couple, they should guide them. The church demands that you have Godparents when you get married. Nowadays couples that are not married are sometimes allowed also.

After going to the Godparents’ house, the groom, his family and the godparents go together to the bride’s house. It is there when the groom and the bride meet for the first time that day. The groom gives the wedding bouquet to the bride, the bride says goodbye to her house and they all go to church together. For the couples that have the city hall ceremony in the same day, before going to the church they will stop by the city hall.

The groom enters the church at the Godmother’s arm and the bride at the Godfather’s arm. The first in the church are the made of honor and best man who are holding the wedding candles.

The church ceremony is very beautiful, it is now that the groom and bride are crowned and their wedding bands are put on their fingers. However the church ceremony doesn’t involve the usual wedding vows that the Catholic weddings have. The bride and groom don’t speak during the wedding ceremony. It is a very beautiful ceremony especially if the church is an old one with a choir. The paragraphs read during the ceremony though are still very old, they still mention that the bride has to obey the groom … :) Like that would ever happen nowadays :)

After that, there comes the reception which usually starts around 8 in the evening and lasts until around 5 in the morning or earlier but usually not earlier than 3am. Sometimes between the church ceremony and reception, the couple goes for a photo session and the other party attendants can go to change into a more formal attire. In our case there wasn’t any photo session between the church and reception, we all went straight to the reception.

At the reception, 4 courses are served usually plus desert – the wedding cake. Romanians drink a lot so expect a lot of good wine and other alcohol.

The receptions have usually bands or DJ’s. Romanians and Aromanians dance a lot of hora’s, which is a synchronized dance into a circle with everybody holding their hands. It can get to very fast speeds and it is very much fun.

The dance is usually opened by the bride and groom with a waltz or any other dance of their choice. Then the godparents and parents join. And then everybody else.

At some point during the reception, some of the bride’s friends will kidnap her and the groom has to pay a ransom for her. This consists usually in the groom holding a speech, doing a dance or singing (putting himself in all sorts of embarrassing situations basically :) )

There some more traditions like the taking of the bride’s veil off and putting on a hat or scarf, flower etc, tradition which would symbolize the fact that she is not a bride anymore but a wife. This is done at the end of the event. However not too many people hold this tradition anymore. I didn’t. I didn’t even have a veil :)

There is also the throwing of the bouquet, also at the end of the event. When the previous tradition is held, then the veil of the bride would go to the girl that caught the bouquet.

Another tradition which I think is borrowed from the Americans is the one where the groom gets off the bride’s garter … with his teeth. Some striptease song on the background for that as well. This event wasn’t part of our wedding, but there are still people who do it.

Another custom which I completely forgot about was the one where the bride writes on her shoe soles the names of her single girl friends. At the end of the night whose name is erased from the sole, means she’s gonna get married.

I hope I covered most of the traditions that are still kept. I have omitted some Aromanians traditions, but for that I will follow up in another post.

Anyway, if you have any questions or would like more details, just leave me a comment on this post.

Until next time…

SATC 2 preview

LiveJournal Tags: fashion,SATC,New York,movie

Tomorrow is SATC 2 premiere in Copenhagen and I am going to be there. Together with my friend Iulia. We are meeting first for a coffee and then straight to the cinema premiere. Can’t wait. We agreed we both are going to dress up so I can’t wait to take some pics of us dressed up like this.

In the meantime, I browsed to the already uploaded pics of SATC 2 on IMDB and enjoyed so many of the outfitts. Here are my favorites.

Could not not love SJP’s dress at the premiere. Bold color and she rocks it. Much better than the other bold color dress she worn at the first SATC movie premiere (The green McQueen dress with the green huge fruit hair piece). Did not like that dress at all although it was my favorite designer’s. This one instead is really beautiful.

I like Cynthia’s look in this movie. I like mostly her makeup and hair, I think the looks the most naturally beautiful in all 4 of the girls. Liked the way she accessorized her black dress with the chandelier earrings and the nice silver brooch which reminds me of the brooch Carrie herself wore with the Vivienne Westwood wedding dress.

I also liked these clip earrings, bold color and clean design. Goes very well with the makeup. Would be very interested where these earrings are from. If any of you readers knows it, please ping me.

Jennifer Love Hewitt rocks this grey body con which she paired very nicely with the mink shoes.

This is a shot from the movie and my favorite outfit of the movie. I like the dressy, laid down combination. The skirt color is very bold and the design of the skirt is really dressy but paired with the Dior T-shirt creates such an interesting combination. That’s what I like mostly about SATC – the way it breaks the rules and creates outstanding outfits through pairing up unexpected items. I think fashion is art is so many ways.

I don’t know if the following shot is from the movie or not (it might be from the premiere), but I like SJP’s outfit, the black and white classic combination but modernized by the long bold necklace.

Cynthia again is very beautiful in this movie, her face is so naturally beautiful. I like the earrings as the only jewelry piece and the blouse which surprisingly has these amazing studs on it.

Statement jewelry is huge in this movie it seems. Love Carrie’s necklace.

Again a very beautiful shot of Cynthia. I especially liked this pic because she wears the dress from the official SATC 2 movie poster and the color is the same that my bridesmaids will wear.

Could not miss the classical SATC 2 image and the one that is the official movie poster. Again statement jewelry, edgy purse and aviator sunglasses.

The 80’s looks are really funny. Can’t wait to see the movie and see where they used these shots – the context.

Love also this old Carey laid back look. I think it’s the first time I see her wearing all stars.

And of course the shot in which all the 4 girls have these amazing dresses and are enjoying their vacation.

Will be back with impressions on the movie after I’ve actually watched it.
