Yes, as you read, I am student at 50 years old. It is an unique experience. But not in our country, in our education system, where everybody (colleagues and teachers) would have staring at you, asking you a lot of questions. Yes, I had the courage and I enrolled in a master in UK and, although I’ve had many doubts, I do not speak English very well, I’ve had to leave behind the comfort offered by my home, I haven’t known if I would be able to learn, to get accustomed to their education system (do not forget that I did a communist school) , I did it. It is a challenge that so far I can say that satisfies me completely. Don’t think it is easy, but not too hard for me. Here everything works according to certain rules, very well established, everybody has to follow them. It is

10 mai 1960 s-a nascut Bono
ca sa nu va plictisesc, am cautat cateva lucruri pe care s-ar putea sa nu le stiti despre Bono: numele real este Paul Hewson. porecla a primit-o dupa numele unui magazin de cartier (din Dublin), Bonavox, iar de atunci este cunoscut cu numele de Bono. look-ul sau consacrat, cu acei ochelari pe care ii poarta chiar si la interior, este urmare a faptului ca acesta sufera de glaucom, ceea ce inseamna ca ochii sai sunt sensibili la lumina. la Mount Temple Comprehesive School, Bono si-a intalnit atat viitoarea sotie, cat si toti colegii trupei U2. se pare ca a fost o potrivire perfecta pentru Bono.insa nu Bono a fost cel ce a infiintat formatia, ci bateristul, Larry Mullen Jr., care a postat un anunt la scoala pentru cei ce doresc sa faca parte dintr-o trupa rock. in 2007, Bono este innobilat de catre Regina Elisabeta a II-a pentru suucesul sau
Read moreBrazilian experience in Cardiff
It was my son’s birthday a few days ago and we went out to buy him a present and then to eat something. I bought a pair of boots (40% discount for holiday in Cardiff), and then we went to the restaurant, Viva Brazil. Sometimes ago he told me about this restaurant with a very good Brazilian food. menu They have 2 menus: one with 4 types of meat and unlimited salads and dishes; the other one with everything unlimited. He chose the unlimited one, I chose that with 4 types of meat, because I am not allowed to eat too much meat, (200 gram/week), the truth is that, before knowing about my health problems, I ate a great quantity of meat :), now I am trying to limit it because of the pain I had in past. But that night I ate meat for 1 month :), we had

revin la Dave de la Boyinaband. m-a fascinat tipul asta. chiar are ceve de spus. eu intotdeauna am fost mai rebela si mai nonconformista, iar versurile astea mi se potrivesc manusa (cu exceptia genului – masculin / feminin). ce-i freaca grija pe unii si pe altii cum arati, cum te imbraci, cati cercei ai si unde, cate tatuaje? sunt lucruri fara importanta. important e ceea ce esti in stare sa faci. atat, ce ai in capatana. un foarte bun exemplu, care a spart orice tipare rigide, este violonistul David Garrett. dar merita o postare sepata si sa nu amestecam lucrurile 🙂 deci va las cu Boyinaband si mesajul sau 🙂
Read moreUK, no dog shits and no Bimbo
But today I saw one (a shit), really. Sincerely, I don’t know how is possible because I have not seen many dogs since I’ve come here, only about 7 dogs. I don’t know, probably these people do not have pets. There are no dog shits on the streets, I have not seen people with dogs walking on the streets. Sometimes I see a dog at a window on my way to the train station, and rarely I see a man walking his dog. Besides, all the rent adverts specify ‘no pets’. Don’t they love pets? I have a colleague who lives in Cardiff and I will ask her about this. The fact is, there are no dogs on the streets. How is possible not to see stray dogs on the street? How is possible not to be afraid of walking on the street? Come here, in UK to see how
Read moreCardiff, the city with four seasons in one day
Yes, I’ve been living in Cardiff for 1 month and I will stay here for a while. I love it. I do things that at home I have never thought to do, for example, I walk more than at home where I have a car, and believe me, I don’t have any pain, back pain, feet pain, nothing. I like it very much. If I have to travel by train or bus only 1 station I prefer to walk and I am surprised too of my choice. sun, hail and rain Let’s back to topic. When I go to school, University of South Wales, in the morning, the sun is shining, I think to myself I have to go back home and take my sunglasses, but it is late and I give up, I don’t want to miss the train. I travel 3 or 4 stations, I get off the

my words don’t make any sense. I choose some relevant articles and videos from The Telegraph. they did a really great job. just read and watch! you can see why does the Queen has two birthdays; Queen’s 90th birthday: when is it and how will it be celebrated?; the Queen’s birthday: 90 years in 90 seconds or 8 things you didn’t know about the Queen. Happy Birthday! I am grateful that I have the opportunity to live in the U.K. image source

Mother’s Day in Cardiff
Actually, I wrote this story last year on Mother’s Day (at the Romanian section). The only thing I’ve changed is the period of celebrating. Last year, Mother’s Day was on March 15th and this year was yesterday, on 6th of March. I consider that the Mother’s Day is celebrating at the beginning of March, on a Sunday. Yesterday I did almost the same things that I did last year, with the difference that I did’t use the train 🙂 so, enjoy! 🙂 In UK is celebrating Mother’s Day, a funny idea for me as mother, but it seems to be the same day as March 8th in Romania, the difference is that in UK is Mother’s day, not Woman’s day. There are different dates in the world for celebrating Mother’s day but March 8th is the International Woman’s day, celebrated in the ex-communist countries. I prefer Woman’s day, Mother’s day
Read morehow I’ve decided to have a blog
The idea of having a blog came to me long time ago, but the decision of starting it I took when I divorced. I hate so much that man and I want to shout loudly all the bad things he had made me. Normally, I believe in solving the problems by yourself, with your family, but, when there is a risk of getting suffocating, when you are in that moment when you don’t trust anyone and anything, you think it’s better to tell others. I’ve decided to be an anonymous person, it’s better for the moment. Obviously, most of you will know my identity when I will send links and read my articles. This is want I want because in other case the category “The Deceased”, will be nonsense. About me Generally I am an understanding person and pacifist. I accept many things, I overlook a lot of things, some
Read morewhy cocktailantistress?
Because, as I wrote in the article how to chose a name for your blog, I want to write about everything, a cocktail of subjects concerning what bothers me, what makes me happy or hysterical. I have the impression that, when I am writing, I can unburden my soul, I calm down, I share with you my joys and troubles, so this means anti-stress. Because I am thinking that you enjoy what you read, you can discover that you are not the only one who has problems or unpleasant experiences. This could be an anti-stress for you too. Cocktail because I will write stories, epigrams, dialogues, opinions about music, people, me and my friends, enemies, colleagues, neighbours, etc. I will laugh with you, I will cry, I will talk civilized or using curses, I will tell you good and bad jokes, I will be here with you, listening your opinions.
