First week of reality

HERE WE ARE
MY FIRST WEEK BACK IN       G E O R G I A

Last days in Romania was very funny, but at the same time was very sad and I felt little bit lost, because I couldn't realize that my EVS life had ended. Last week was full of goodbye parties- non-official  and official one (sounds funny, but it's true). Than we had lot of dinner together, to sum up we were trying to be together all the time. My flat mates and me, we were sleeping together in Jude's bad and watching Minions :))))))

Finally I was fisrt one who left Baia Mare. Leaving was very sentimental, we cried a little, but it's not a goodbye. I talked with my BFF (jude I know u love when i am calling you BFF) on skype and she told me that she will bye tickets for Georgia soon.

Next days I was whole day outside, visiting all my friends and people who I missed. Actually I feel that I am happy to be here. I have changed and this gives me power to be who I want to be.


Thank you Romania for everything. I am happy that I did my EVS exactly in Baia Mare and that I  have met so many amazing people.

Multumesc forte mult. La revedere si pupici

Aller!

Here we go again !

Did you miss me??:))) I do !

Finally real summer came in Romania, very hot but for me this kind of weather is more than perfect.

Summer 2015 had started with amazing BLAJ aLIVE FESTIVAL. It was so cool, two days festival with my favorite people, whatelse I can wish, best start for unforgetable summer memories.


After Blaj I went in Borzont. In this little village YMCA made outdoor trainning, plus media activities. These tvelwe days overfulfiled my expectations. Despite the rainy and cold weather everything was perfect. People, nature, activities, food, local comunity --- I just don't have words.
In the last evening we invited local people to come and try our traditional food, everybody came , they were inviting us in their flats to visit them if we will come again in Romania one dah. I was feeling such a big love from them. God bless Romania. :))







In the end of June we said Goodbye and Hello together. Our friends from another organization went home and in YMCA 15 new EVSers came. Imagine, so cool, yeah??? :))) First evening of their departure we went in karaoke bar,was funny, because each of us is professional in singing, especially me :))))

Pupicc and see u with another news. :)))

Here we are again

hello hello after such a long brake, I hope you are okayyyy

soo.... i don't know from where to start. I had amazing month,  new people... new stories.. new adventures.. nearly one month ago ymca did awesome training about couching. It was lasting during ten days. Whole day was full of activities, but we really enjoyed in these days. We met new friends and also old ones too. Misho came in baia mare againg, Also lika and francesca visited baia mare, they were volunteers nearly two years ago. So in one word this training was brilliantly mixed with fun and productive activities.



aftér training we continued working in normal schedule. during this time we had volunteering week. we organized photovoice, worldcafe, flashmod and painting. also on 16th of may we took a part in cleaning day. we worked hard , but also had a nice picpic near the lake.
we had meeting also in YMCA office and my team and me, we presented our project. what we did so far and how it was going.
in baia mare we celebrated LIGHTING DAY. so we did boxes, put candles inside and we lighted them, it was so beatiful.



maybe you know that WORLD PEACE FORUM was in baia mare, so I can say I am lucky, I was invited for the last day. I passed amazing day with amaizing people. It sounds unbelievable, because I met these people just once, but I will never forget them. 

and voilaaaaaa MIDTERM trainnng. Best part on this month.
I am so so so happy to meet these amazing people all around the world.
I know them just during four days and it feels like i know them all my life.
I love my EVS. enjoy with lifeeeee, cao pupicccc <3

Do it !


It had been a long time I didn't write a blog. So hello , hope you are great, look finally real spring came, actually weather looks more like a summer but doesn't matter, it's amazing to feel the sun.
I am full of great, positive feelings, these ten days were unforgettable for me. YMCA made training about couching. I will start from the beginning . Actually I didn't have any expectations. To be honest I was just thinking okaaaay it will just training course, get up early in the morning, be in training room all day and be just tired from the boring sessions. But....... But this "but" changes everything. Today I woke up early in the morning and I felt really empty, cause I realize I can't go on the training again-the reason is that it is over... Every good thing has an end. So first day of training was meeting new people, remembering our names, it sounds funny but it is really hard part. on the second day real coaching training had started. We got a lot of useful information. First days  were hard because it was focused on theory, a lot of new information. But second part of the training was already focused only on us, on practising, on discovering ourselves and on finding our goals and aims of life. During these days I learnt a lot about myself, What type of person I am, I overcame my fears, I learnt to trust somebody, I learnt to control my emotions, I learnt how to stay brave even if you are dying from the fear, I learnt to keep forward and I learnt how to be who I am. It sounds unbelievable, how is possible to do everything in ten days, but I did it during this training.
And I can say I became more confident and I believe that nothing is I'Mpossible.
Good luck and follow your goals. JUST DO IT.

Welcome-Goodbye

HELLO AGAIN AND AGAIN !

This week was so active for me, full of emotions. Emotions which sometimes made me sad, sometime the happiest person ever :)
April started with another goodbye.  Tazo, went in Georgia. We had goodbye dinner with him and early in the morning we, all together ,went in the airport to say goodbye.

Also Orla went in Ireland, during two weeks. I can say that we need her energy as soon as possible. Come back soon Orla, we miss you :*.
Despite all these bad news I have good one too. We have new flatmate, french guy. He is from the same city as Jude, but they met to each other in Romania. World is so small... :)
Unfortunately I couldn't woke up for rugby match, but I got the news that Baia Mare team lost. Anyway I believe in this team, I saw their game last time and it was amazing.

      Pa Pa and enjoy with your life <3

Welcome =)

Hello Everybody =)))
This week went so fast, I even didn't realise that it is already last day of march. Imagine my 5 monthes of EVS is done, time really flies.
Our friends from Predeal visited us during this week. We had very nice time, we took a walk in the city, made little '' excursion '', than had a deliciouse dinner in the flat. I am sorry that we will not have midterm training together, but I hope we will be able to meet each us again. Unfortunatly theyvare leaving Romania in the end of April, so who know maybe someday... somehow we will meet again.
Also Jude's friend from france came to visit her. So we hadn't time for being bored. All the time something new was happening. On friday we had ''warm up'' dinner for Tazo's goodbye party. On saturday in the morning we all together went on a rugby match Baia Mare VS Bucharest teams. It was very good game, of course Baia Mare was the winner. In this team Georgian guy in playing. I was very proud during watching him, because he was the best player in the team.
After rugby match we went home and started preparing Khinkali. It is a georgian traditional dish. This process was very fun. Imagine Tazo was making dough, Jude and Razvan were making meat, Orla was telling us how much water or ingredients we need, Victor was rolling a dough and I was making shapes of khinkali. It was real team working. Finally dish was very deliciouse.

pa pa and enjoy with your life <3

Hello spring again and again


So finally I can say it's already spring, with warm weather and beautiful sky. Square in front of my flat is full of people, especially with children and couples.
My team and me, we are continuing our work. We went in Cavnic this week for the first time. When we arrived in this village imagine it was snowing, but in baia mare sun was shining. School, teacher, pupils everything was nice. For the first time we just got to know each other, did some energizers, funny games, everybody enjoyed during this time.

Also we went in hungarian school too. We asked kids to paint and color shamrocks. When they finished they cut shamrocks in shapes, made little sticks and added some details.
This weekend we had good time. Actually being in a company of friends is always the best you can ever do! enjoy with life and pa pa !\

enjoy

hey hey again !
This week seems so long for me, maybe because I had very good time with my friends.
Before everything this, we were working of course. We went in kindergarten and did twinkle twinkle little star song. It was worth to see these little angels simging and dancing all together.
After kindergarten we went in Romani Center and did very creative activity. Have u ever heard about painting shadows?! No? so let me explain you. we took big white paper and put on the wall, than one of the kid stands in front of the paper, we are turning on mobile flash because of the shadows (like this face shape is seen better) and other kid paints his/her friends face. Here is my shape of the face.

In Copalnic we had story tellimg day. Pupils have chosen 10 words and after this they did very nice stories. Of course in english. For them it was challenge ,  but anyway they could do this.

So here is already weekend. Orla, jude and me , we went in beautiful Sigjisoara to visit our friends from predeal. We hitchhiked on friday and happyly we were very lucky. We met one very nice and kind guy in Turda, who wasn't going in sighisoara but only for us he went there, he was afraid to leave us somewhere , because it was late already, so he just decided to be our helper. Finally we arrived friday night in sighisoara. we met very good friends. We talked, have fun. next day we descovered a city and OMG it's beuatiful. 


By the way from this week my WORKSHOP starts. On Wednesday from 4 pm to 5pm. It will be about culture and cultural differences. Believe me it will be fun. So welcome and enjoy with me. see u on Wednesday in YMCA romania office. pupicccc :***

Goodbye is not forever




Finally in YMCA we stayed just four person. during this week we said so many goodbyes... its very sad when somebody is leaving. we get to use each other. get to know each others bad and good sides , and we fell in love with each other in that way just we are now. all the day we were together,cooking together, eating together, having fun together, doing stupid things together and suddenly u say goodbye to them and even don't know u will see them again or not. Aysel, Salome, Carmen and Sarah, they went in their home towns. From the beginning I was little bit jealous that they were going at home, meet all the friends and family members,but going home would be great just two weeks , because EVS life is something different from everything. We should live with it, enjoy with it, because it will never happened again in our lives. these two days, friday and saturday, was ''goodbye days''. first Aysel left, we went with her in train station and said goodbye. I hope i will see her again and we can say again ''lets forget who we are''. than salome and carmen left. At last Sarah went in the morning. I wish them to achieves all their goals, live their life and enjoy a lot.

So today had started new week and we should prepare several activities for schools.
Enjoy ! :)

this week for me was very sportive. afRom monday i started new gym and i am really happy because of this changing. after monday i am walking in gym every day, such a nice atmosphere and such a nice company. people are very nice, everubody is helping to each other if they did something wrong during training. WOrking out is kinda adictive, because every day i am waikimg up and first thought is about going in gym. Amazing :)
On Wednesday we were in kindergarten. we sang a song about little teapot and also before singing we coloured teapot in different colors. kids were singing like professionals, with seriouse faces and with all this expressions on their face, which was very funny.
Next day we went in hungarian school. we made a handcraft, with toilet papers' rolls, colorful papers and with big imagination. we, all together made puppets, spme of them made themselves, some made angels, some dragons. was very productive and nice activity.

on friday we went in Copalnic. It was very good weather, so we decided to make some ball game out side. Majority wanted to play football so we played this game boys against girls. Was incredibly funny. IMagine girls when ball is flying , everybody was running just for nothing :))) It was worst to see.

After one week they are leaving so I can say it was ''non-formal'' goodbye for them. day after party was very calm, we just had dinner in salome's and tazo's flat. Each of us made something and finally our dinner was better than dinner in the kingdom. :))))))

First Goodbye

During this week, I think, everybody could smell the odour of ending the cold winter and starting amazing spring.


On Wednesday , my girls and me, we were in kindergarten and did love-valentine cards. Most of them painted mother and father in the shape of red heart. They were very happy and wanted to share their cards with teacher and with us.
After work we had Romanian lesson. Our teacher told us that we finished first semester with success and he gave us very nice presents. From him I got DVD of Troy , which is one of my favourite movie.  It was very productive and funny lesson. We enjoyed a lot.

On Thursday we were in Romani Center and Hungarian School. We did activities which were about valentine. In Romani center we made big heart, with colourful papers and wrote down "Happy Valentine's Day". In Hungarian school we did love cards. They had lots of fun. Some of them wrote down each others names in cards. It was very nice working with them. They are always very motivated.

On Friday it was already Misho's preparation for going back in Georgia. .  We said goodbye and came back at home.  Soon other volunteers will leave too  and just four of us will stay. Its  sad , but we will have lots of trainings, we will meet new good friends, and of course one day we will meet with our old friends too . ( I hope)  
 Saturday was really active day. It was like a summer day so we went out for doing a little "sport" . To hang out little and enjoy with weather. Was really good day, in the evening we ate ice cream too.

Small paychecks and big memories !!!

"The real voyage of discovery 
consists not in seeking new landscapes, 
but in having new eyes". 
-Marcel Droust 

  Last days, from 30 of January till 8 of February, was unforgettable for me. Guess why?! It was time for amazing travelling. Someone said that we travel not to escape life, but FOR LIFE NOT TO ESCAPE US... And I can guess now what it means. Life without travelling is just existance and nothing more.  
   So let's start !!!
On 30 of January Aysel, Misho, Salome, Jude and me, we all together went to Arad. In Arad it was our friends goodbye party and also this place was a starting of unforgettable travelling. On this day it was a great party in the eighties- nineties style. I always enjoy in Arad, in this city people are awesome, I love them. 
  So next day we started hitchhiking to Belgrade. Our host was Sarah, previous EVS volunteer in Baia Mare. She was living in the same flat where I am living now. She made nice excursion for us in the city. We saw very beautiful park of Belgrade, nice streets and boulevards and in the evening she took us in the traditional restaurant, where we tries of course traditional serbian foor, listened to music and had fun. 
 Next destination was Bulgaria, Sofia. In the morning, when we left Sarah's flat it was downpour outside. We were waiting for the car in this kind of weather. We were completely wet. We already started to be in depress when one very nice grandfather stop the car for us. He didn't know english, also no russian and we couldn't explain where we wanted to go, but he just sighed us to go with him, so he took us in the Turkish truck station, where we met two funniest truck drivers ever.  They feed us, they took selfies with us for their facebook profile, was funny.
In Sofia we found flat by couchsurfing, we stayed only one night and during day we discovered the city. 

It was huge city, but I can't say that Sofia was one of the beautiful city ever. Anyway it was nice.


After Sofia we went in ISTANBUL,one of the most beautiful city ever. If one had but a single glance to give the world, one should gaze on Istanbul.This city straddles the Bosphorus strait in northwestern Turkey, between the Sea of Marmaraand and Black Sea. In every corner you can see huge and very beautiful mosques. The view during the night is life a paradise, you just want this moment to last forever. 

Actually I think that in Istanbul there is not that kind of place, wbout what u can say I don't like this. Every corner is typical and different from everything.Istanbul is inspiring because it has its own code of architecture, literature, poetry, music.
