Ultima zi de scoala in Brazilia pentru Dani/ The last school day in Brazil for Dani

Azi a fost ultima zi de scoala a lui Dani . A fost o zi trista pentru noi toti si in special pentru el . El a petrecut in aceasta scoala un an de zile si noi consideram ca a fost fantastic .

In aceasta scoala care este o scoala privata Dani a invatat :

· sa vorbeasca portugheza in 3 luni .

· a inceput sa inteleaga baza limbii engleze.

· a invatat toate literele.

· a invatat sa numere in portugheza si engleza .

· a pierdut teama de apa , aici spalindu-l in fiecare zi .A invatat sa inoate

· a invatat sa fie prietenos

· a demostrat primele abilitati de lider in cadrul grupei lui J

In aceasta grupa de prescolari Dani era foarte iubit intre colegi si toti il urmau in prostioarele pe care le facea. Este un lider in felul lui ,la virsta lui si asta imi da incredere ca are o personalitate puternica care il va ajuta in provocarile pe care viata i le va oferi.

A fost o imtimplare draguta pe care mi-au povestit-o profesoarele, ca atunci cind s-a intors din concediu dupa 3 saptamini de absenta ,la revedere,toti copiii au sarit pe el si l-au imbratisat intrebindu-l unde a fost si ce a facut si ca le-a fost dor de el . Deoarece in Europa nu e asa de comun sa ne imbratisam si el nefiind asa de obisnuit cu imbratisarile s-a simtit putin sfios dar a acceptat si a inceput sa ii placa imbratisarea de “Amigo Doce “ adica “ Prieten Dulce “ .

In aceasta ultima zi i-am cumparat un tort mare si suc si am invitat pe toata lumea sa isi ia ramas bun de el . I-au cintat “La Multi Ani “ ,l-au imbratisat si toti s-au simtit bine .

In aceasta gradinita Dani a avut a-2-a mama, pe numeTia Meire. Zic a doua mama deoarece pe de o parte ea a fost persoana care s-a ocupat cel mai mult de el de la venirea lui in Brazilia , fiind foarte profesionala de altfel , iar pe de alta parte era singura persoana la care Dani se supunea J Aici ne putem intreba ,e semn de leadership ori de copil rasfatat faptul ca nu supunea??? J Timpul o sa ne spuna J

Dar la sfirsitul acestei mici petreceri care urma sa se termine cu un ramas bun ,m-am hotarit sa intreb daca mai pot sa il mai duc la scoala pentru inca 2 saptamini si am obtinut un raspuns pozitiv pentru care sintem foarte fericiti .Deci Dani va mai avea ocazia sa petreca citeva zile cu prietenii lui dragi . Si vorbind de prieteni aici as vrea sa mentionez ca dintre toti colegii lui ,unul era special pentru el :MARCUS AURELIUS, un luptator neinfricat cu un zimbet fantastic . Poza atasata mai jos. Era cel mai bun prieten al lui si impreuna erau neintrecuti la timpenii J La orele de scoala Dani statea intr-un colt iar Vinicius era in celalalt colt al clasei .

In acest fel orele decurgeau normal. J)

Acestea fiind zise experienta braziliana a fost magnifica pentru toti inclusiv pentru copii nostri care si-au deschis orizonturile foarte mult .

Numai bine

Last day of school for Dani in Brazil

Today was the last school day for Dani. It was a sad day for all of us and especially for him. He spent in this school a year and we thought it was fantastic.
This school is a private school and here Dani learnt the followings:
• to speak Portuguese in three months.
• begin to understand the English language.
• learned all the letters.
• learned to count in Portuguese and English.
• has lost his fear of water, being washed here every day. J

• learned to be friendly
• has demonstrated his first leadership skills in his group J

Within this group of preschool kids Dani was very loved among colleagues and always had followers in the stupid things he use to make . It is a leader in his own way ,at his age and that gives me confidence that he has a strong personality that will help him in the challenges that life will offer him.
It was a beautiful instance that his teachers told me that when he returned from holiday, after 3 weeks of absence, all the kids jumped on him and embraced him ,asking him where he was and what he made and that they missed him. As in Europe is not so common to hug each other and he not so familiar with the hugs he felt a little shy but accepted the way of being loved and began to embrace the "Doce Amigo" means "Sweet Friend."
In this last day we bought a big cake and juice and we invited everyone to take their farewell of him. They sang "Happy Birthday", they all hugged him and everybody felt good.
In this kindergarten Dani had the second mother called Tia Meire. I say the second mother because on one hand she was the person who care with him the most since his arrival in Brazil, otherwise very professional and on the other hand that Tia Meire was the only person Dani obeyed over there J Here we need to ask ourselves, is a sign of leadership or spoiled child that does not obeyed?? Time may tell us J)
But at the end of this small party that should have ended with a farewell, I decided to ask if we can still send Dani to school for another two weeks and got a positive response for which we are very happy. So now Dani has the opportunity to spend more days with his dear friends. And speaking of his friends here I would like to mention that out of all his colleagues, one was special for him: MARCUS AURELIUS, a fearless fighter with a fantastic smile. J See the picture attached. It was his best friend and together they were unbeatable at doing stupid thingsJ

At school hours Dani is usually sitting in a corner and Vinicius was in the other corner of the classroom.
In this way the classes are running normaly. J

Dupa amiaza de Craciun 2010/ 2010 Christmas day

Dupa toate momentele deosebite petrecute in aceste doua zile de Craciun ,aceasta minunata zi s-a incheiat intr-un mod extraordinar.

Credeti sau nu azi am jucat rolul lui Mos Craciun. J))

In acest sens am fost invitat de un prieten sa fiu Mos Craciun intr-o actiune de caritate pe care familia lui o face in fiecare an si anume de a imparti cadouri copiilor nevoiasi din cartierele sarace ale Manausului . Binenteles ,dupa o consultare cu Cami , am acceptat imediat aceasta oportunitate si am decis sa o fac sa fie frumoasa si vesela . In plus eram singurul Mos Craciun din Manaus cu ochii albastriJ))

http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2068667&id=1327390412

Asa ca am mers la casa prietenului meu unde totul era organizat in curtea condomeniului in asa fel incit erau scaune si mese in curte ,mincare ,muzica si multi copilasi cu parintii lor .

Am fost echipat in costumul magic al lui Mos Craciun,mi s-a pus o perna mare pentru a simula burta impresionanta pe care ar trebui sa o aibe Mos Craciun si am aparut intr-un jeep remorca decapotabil avind in spatele meu o tona de cadouri.

Multimea a ineput sa exclame si sa se bucure la vederea lui mos Craciun si zimbetul sau teama a aparut pe fetelor copilasilor prezenti J.

Am inceput sa impart cadouri la copii ,sa ii intreb cum ii cheama ,sa le urez un craciun Fericit si a fost fantastic sa vad ca pe acele fete necajite ale mamelor lor au aparut zimbete de fericire .Am vazut multi copii frumosi fericiti ca au sansa se intilneasca personal cu Mos Craciun iar adesta are bunavointa si isi acorda timpul necesar pentru a vorbi cu ei .

La un moment dat s-a intimplat ceva care m-a impresionat . A venit in fata mea o fetita foarte frumoasa care o retinusem ca a mai fost o data dar cu toate aceastea i-am mai intins un cadou . In timp ce ii intindeam cadoul a inceput sa imi spuna ca de fapt cadoul nu era pentru ea ci isi dorea ca si sora ei care nu era acolo si care era si ea saraca sa primeasca un cadou … A fost un moment de o mare emotie ,un moment care te face sa te simti mic ,un moment care ne spune cit de recunoscatori trebuie sa fim pentru ce avem ,un moment care ne spune cit de important e sa ii ajutam pe altii .

Dupa aceasta actiune care s-a desfasurat in condominium am plecat sa impartim cadouri in citeva cartiere alaturate .

In acest sens am plecat cu 4 Jeep-uri descoperite si am intrat in acele cartiere ,eu fiind in prima masina facind din mina si sunind din clopotel cit puteam de tare .

Intrind in acele cartiere am inceput sa atragem atentia oamenilor si la un moment dat era plin de copii in jurul nostru ,plin de copii alergand dupa masini ,plin de catei alergand dupa masini J

La un moment dat am intrat si mai adanc in acest cartiere si pot sa va spun ca nu am vazut niciodata in viata mea asa conditii de precare in care acesti oameni traiau. In aceste momente nu va pot descrie exact ce am simtit dar pe de o parte erau fericit ca puteam sa aduc un zimbet pe fetele acelor copii prin mesajul si personajul pe care il reprezentam dar pe de alta parte aveam lacrimi in ochi sa vad in ce conditii unii oameni traiesc . Si din pacate sint foarte multi oameni in Brazilia care traiesc in aceste conditii iar partea cea mai nasoala este ca guvernul nu face mai nimic pentru a imbunatati structura de baza a societatii ca si educatia ,sistemul medical si accesul la informatie.

Oricum a fost aceasta experienta de Mos Craciun eu o consider una frumoasa si am apreciat ca am putut face ceva pentru niste oameni care nu au sansa sa primeasca nici un cadou cu ocazia acestei zi deosebite .Pe de alta parte cind am ajuns acasa la copii mei le-am povestit ca m-am intilnit cu niste copii foarte saraci care nu au avut parte de Mos Craciun si i-am intrebat daca vreau sa facem cadou parte din jucariile lor cind vom pleca din Brazilia . asa cum ma asteptam cei doi piticoti au acceptat imediat aceasta propunere si asta o asta o sa facem .

Va pupam cu drag

Cosmin & Co.

Christmas Afternoon
After all the special moments spent in these two days of Christmas, this wonderful day ended in an extraordinary way.
Believe it or not today I played Santa Claus. J))
In this respect I was invited by a friend to be Santa Claus in an act of charity that his family does every year, namely, to share gifts to children in need in poor neighborhoods of Manaus. Of course, after consultation with Cami, I jumped at this opportunity and I decided to make it beautiful and joyful. In addition I was the only Santa in Manaus with blue eyes J))

http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2068667&id=1327390412
So I went to my friend's house where everything was organized in such a way that into the condominium yard were tables and chairs, food, music and many little children with their parents.
I was fitted in Santa's magic suit, I put a big pillow to simulate the impressive bailey a Santa Claus should have and I appeared in a convertible jeep trailer having behind me a ton of gifts.
The crowd start showing happiness and exclaiming at the sight of Santa Claus, smiles or fear appeared on the little children faces. J
I began to share gifts to children, I ask their names and wish them a Merry Christmas and was fantastic to see as on their troubled mothers faces appeared smiles of happiness. I saw many beautiful children happy for having the chance to meet Santa in person and take advantage of his benevolence of spending the time to speak with them.
At some point something happened which impressed me. There came in front of me a very beautiful little girl who I retained she came second time and even so I handed her a gift . While stretching her gift at the chest she began to tell me that this was actually not a present for her but she wanted that her sister ,who is poor as well, to receive a gift too... It was a moment of great emotion, a moment that makes you feel small, a moment that is telling us how much we should be grateful for what we, a moment that tells us how important it is to help others.
After this event which was held in condominium I went to share a few gifts in adjacent neighborhoods.
Thus, we went with four Jeeps in those neighborhoods, I was going in the first car waving my hand and sounding the bell loudly as I could.
Entering these neighborhoods we have started to attract people's attention and at one time was full of children around us, full of children running after the cars and full of dogs chasing cars J
At one time we went deeper into the neighborhoods and I can tell you have never seen in my life so precarious conditions in which these people lived. In these moments I cannot describe exactly what I felt but on the one hand I was glad and proud I could bring a smile to the faces of those children by the message and the character I was representing but on the other hand, I had tears in my eyes to see under what conditions some people live. And unfortunately there are many people in Brazil living in these conditions and the worst part is that the government does nothing to improve the basic structure of society as education, medical system and access to information.
However it was ,this Santa experience I consider a nice one and I appreciated that I could do something for some people not have the chance to receive any gifts during this special day.

On the other hand when I got home I told my children that I met some very poor kids who have not had the chance to enjoy Christmas and agreed with them to share most of their toys with these kids when we will leave Brazil .

As I expected my little two “ Piticoti” agreed this proposal immediately and this is that we will do before we leave .

Dimineata de Craciun 2010 /2010 Christmas morning

Probabil ca multi dintre voi va intrebati cum e sa faci Craciunul la 35^o C. Da,e o intrebare normala pentru noi,cei care am facut tot timpul Craciunul la o temperature sub 0^o C si am fost inconjurati aproape tot timpul de zapada . Ei bine, si noi ne-am intrebat si chiar am fost putin suparati ca nu avem sansa sa mergem acasa de Craciun dar pe de alta parte ne-am zis ca va fi o experienta interesanta si ne vom bucura la maxim de ea . Avem un adevarat spirit de aventura si de a fi pozitiv in fata unor situatii care nu ne par favorabile . Si datorita acestui spirit avem numai de cistigat J

In dimineata de Craciun am ales sa mergem sa sarbatorim aceasta zi minunata pe plaja Amazonului . Si credeti-ma ca a fost fantasticJ

Am fost pe plaja la 35^o C imbracati in costume de baie si avind pe cap caciuli de Mos Craciun. Au iesit niste poze fantastice pe care le puteti gasi la linkul de mai jos J

http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2068658&id=1327390412&saved#!/album.php?aid=2068658&id=1327390412

Copii s-au jucat in apa maronie si curata a Amazonului,eu am facut sarituri in apa cu ei iar mami ne-a facut poze .

Cu toate ca erau destul de multi tineri beti pe plaja ,am ingnorat acest fapt si ne-am distrat de minune in aceasta ipostaza de a petrece Craciunul la o temperatura ridicata .

Veseli si pozitivi intotdeauna. Asta e mesajul nostru J
Cu drag

Christmas Morning
Probably most of you are wondering how is to do Christmas at 35^oC. Yes, it's a normal question for us, who have always had a Christmas at temperatures below 0^oC and where we were almost always surrounded by snow. Well, we have asked ourselves too and we were a little upset that we do not have the chance to go home for Christmas but on the other hand, we said it would be an interesting experience and we will fully enjoy it. We have a real spirit of adventure and being positive in front of situations that do not seem favorable to us. And because of this spirit, we only win J
For the Christmas morning we chose to go to celebrate this wonderful day on the Amazon’s beach. And believe me it was fantastic J
We were on the beach at 35^oC wearing bikinis and wearing Santa Claus hats. There are some fantastic pictures that you can find the link below J

http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2068658&id=1327390412&saved#!/album.php?aid=2068658&id=1327390412

Children were playing into the brown and clear water of the Amazon, I did jump into the water with them and our beautiful Mami was taking pictures.
Although many young people were pretty drunk on the beach, we ignored this fact and we have great fun into the situation of spending the Christmas at a high temperature.
Always cheerful and positive . That's our message J

Seara de Ajun a Craciunului 2010 in Brazilia / 2010 Christmas Eve in Brazil

Probabil ca multi dintre voi va intrebati cum e sa faci Craciunul departe de casa. Stiu ,idea nu suna bine dar pentru noi a fost primul Craciun de parte de casa si a fost unul deosebit .

In seara de ajun a Craciunului am fost invitati la niste prieteni dragi sa petrecem seara impreuna cu familia lor . Iar familia lor inseamna in jur de 40 de persoane ,toate strinse in acelasi loc . Fantastic ,nu ?

Seara a fost organizata in asa fel incit in prima parte Mos Craciun aduce cadouri la copii iar in a-2-a parte au inceput sa joace un joc asa numit “Amigo curto” sau “ Prietenul ascuns “.

Pentru noi a fost ceva deosebit sa vedem aceasta interactiune interpersonala .Acest joc presupune ca fiecare din familie isi alege la cine va da un cadou in acel an . Pina aici totul normal ,nu ? Partea cea mai impresionanta a fost modul in care isi dadeau acele cadouri si cuvintele frumoase pe care le spuneau despre celalalt. Puneau atita emotie si atita sinceritate in acele cuvinte frumoase astel incit au fost persoane care au plins la decernarea cadourilor .

Impactul pozitiv si mesajul pentru mine a fost si mai puternic realizind ca si noi avem familii si prieteni dragi dar nu facem atit de multe eforturi sa ne reunim cu totii si mai mult, aproape nicioadata nu ne spunem cind de mult ne iubim sau ne apreciem unii pe altii . Si de multe ori apar probleme in familii si nu se realizeaza ca nu au avut sansa sa ii spuna celuilalt ca pe linga micile certuri zilnice pe care le au, dragostea si prietenia dintre ei este mai puternica decit orice .

Mesajul este ca trebuie sa ne concentram atentia la lucrurile si momentele importante ale vietii si sa ignoram total micile sicane care apar zilnic in vietilor noastre .

Mindria,ura,teama,ignoranta,etc sint niste sentimente care ar trebui inlocuite cu dragoste ,prietenie,curaj si fericirea intilnirii cit si altele sentimente pozitive.

La finalul jocului “ Prietenul ascuns” am cerut si eu sa intru in joc . Astfel ,am vorbit foarte frumos multumind pentru faptul ca am fost acceptati in aceasta familie atit de repede si de usor ,de faptul ca aceasta familie ne-a ajutat foarte mult de cind sintem in Brazilia, de faptul ca aceasta familie este una simpla si foarte frumoasa cind sint impreuna si in special am multumit celor 2 prieteni care au insemnat atit de mult pentru noi . La sfirsitul speech-ului in fata celor ~ 40 de persoane, au fost persoane care nu le-am vazut pina atunci si care au venit si m-au luat in brate ,au fost persoane care m-au invitat sa petrecem Revelionul cu ei si au fost o multime de ochi atintiti spre mine exprimind admiratie .

A fost ceva deosebit ,ceva de o emotie foarte puternica ,ceva care m-a facut sa imi fac o promisiune . Incepind cu anul urmator voi face un efort mare pentru a pune toata familia extinsa impreuna si pentru a incerca sa sadesc sentimente frumoase si puternice intre noi .

Urati-mi succes ,sint sigur ca voi reusi .

Cu drag

2010 Christmas Eve in Brazil

Probably most of you are wondering how is to do Christmas away from home. I know, the idea does not sound good but for us it was the first Christmas away from home and was a great one.
In the Christmas Eve we were invited to some dear friends to spend the evening with their family. And their family is around 40 people, all gathered in one place. Funny, hey?
The evening was organized in a way that in the first part Santa Claus brings gifts to children in the 2nd part they started to play a game so named "Amigo Curto" or "Secret friend".
For us it was something special to see this great interpersonal interactions. This game requires that each family member to choose a friend to give a gift that year. Until here everything normal, no? The most impressive was the fact that way they gave each other those gifts and the wonderful words they said about each other. They put so much emotion and so much sincerity in those words so that there were people who have cried to the awarding of the gifts.
The positive impact and message for me was stronger realizing that we all have families and friends beloved but we do not put so much effort to get us all together and more than this, almost never we do not tell each other much we love and appreciate each other’s. And many times in families appear problems and people do not realize that they did not have the chance to say each other that besides the small daily fights that they have, their love and their friendship is stronger than anything.
The message is that we should concentrate our attention to the most important things and important moments of life and ignore all the little daily chicanes in people's lives.
Pride, hate, fear, ignorance, etc. are some feelings that should be replaced with love, friendship, courage and happiness and other positive feelings meeting.
At the end of the game "secret friend” I asked to get into. So I talked very nicely about our appreciation that we have been accepted into this family so quickly and easily, the fact that this family has helped us greatly since we are in Brazil, the fact that this family is a very simple and beautiful especially when they're together and I thanked the two friends who have meant so much to us. At the end of the speech's in front of ~ 40 people, there have been people who have not seen me before and they came and took me in his arms, were people who invited me to spend New Year with them and have been a lot of eyes glued to me expressing admiration.
It was something special, something very emotional powerful, something that made me make a promise. Starting next year I will make a great effort to put the whole extended family together and try to instill strong and beautiful feelings between us.
Wish me luck, I'm sure I will succeed. J

Cum e sa traiesti singur printre straini ?

Poate multi dintre voi v-ati pus aceasta intrebare.Poate multi dintre voi ati avut sansa sa aveti raspuns la aceasta intrebare traind experienta pe viu .Eu/noi am/avem sansa sa o traiesc/traim acum . Pot sa spun ca mi-am propus de mult sa ies din tara ,cred ca mi-a luat vreo 20 de ani sa fac acest pas si poate mi-a luat atit pentru ca nu am vrut sa merg sa spal vase la restaurante sau sa fac curat in hoteluri .Cred ca am ales cu grija momentul de a face acest pas in conditii mai sigure pentru toata familia . Acum pot spune ca ,chiar avem ocazia sa vedem cum e sa fim singuri ,aici ,unde puti romani ajung .Dupa cum unii dintre voi stiti la inceput am fost trei familii de romani dar de vreo 2 saptamni am ramas singuri deoarece colegul meu a plecat si el impreuna cu familia .A fost una din cele mai grele despartiri de care am avut parte vreodata . Binenteles ca nu a fost mai grea decit cea in care am plecat in armata cind plingea toata gara J))) Si asta nu pentru ca plingeau toti pentru mine ,dar fiecare isi ducea copilul la acelasi tren.

Am simtit ca ceva se rupe ,am simtit ca ,chiar daca ne-a fost greu uneori ,acum o sa ne fie si mai greu dar m-am uitat la Cami si din priviri am agreat ca o sa reusim chiar si in aceaste conditiiJ

Asa si este acum . Ne derulam zilele cu aceeasi consistenta sau inconsistenta ,depinde din punctul cui de vedere privesti.Eu am in continuare un program foarte incarcat si asta imi place dar pe de alta parte Cami si copii simt nevoia de a fi cu mine si de aceea incerc sa ma stapinesc in idea mea de workaholic.

Pritenii nostri au ajuns acum in Romania si isi reincep aventura . Sint sigur ca experienta braziliana ,asa cum a fost ea ,va constitui un moment de care isi vor aminti mereu iar clipele petrecute impreuna le pot declara minunate si le voi pastra tot timpul vii in memoria meaJ

How is to live alone among the strangers ?

Maybe many of you asked yourself this question. Maybe many of you have had the chance to live this experience living this question live .Me / we have a chance to live it now. I can say that I have decided to leave the country long time before, I think took me about 20 years and why this step took me so long because I did not want to go to wash dishes at restaurants or cleaning the hotels. I think I have chosen carefully when to do so, in safer conditions for the whole family. Now I can say that now we have the opportunity to see how it is to be alone here, where the few Romanian are living . As some of you know at the beginning we have been three Romanian families but since few months we remained alone, because my colleague and his family went back home in Romania. It was one of the most difficult separations that we ever had. Of course it was not worse than the one when I left to army when all the train station was crying but they were not crying all for me, but for each of their children that was leaving with the same train.

I felt something is breaking , I felt that if so far we had hard times, now we will be even more difficult but I looked into Cami ’s eyes and I agreed that we will succeed even in these conditions.

And so is happening now. We carry on every days with the same consistency or inconsistency, it depends on whose point of view you look .I still have a very busy schedule and even that I like it on the other hand Cami and children feel the need to be with me and therefore I try to not be so much workaholic .

Our friends now arrived in Romania and restarted their adventure back home . I'm sure that the Brazilian experience, will be a moment that they will always remember and I can say that the moments spent together were wonderful and I will always keep alive in my memory

Take that

Campionatul Mondial de Fotbal 2010 in Brazilia

Hello,

Ceea ce vreau sa va povestesc acum este ceva ce nu voi vedea niciodata in Romania .Si nu voi vedea asta niciunde in lume probabil.Spun asta deoarece am un sentiment ca Romania nu va fi niciodata campioana mondiala la fotbal iar noi ca si romani nu avem in singe asa de mult fotbalul astfel sa ne comportam asa cum o fac brazilienii.

Dupa cum stiti in citeva zile o sa inceapa campionatul mondial de fotbal din Africa de Sud. Ca sa aveti o idée va pot spune ca asa cum se simte in aer spiritul Craciunului la noi asa se simte in aer ,acum,aici, spiritul acestui campionat .

Prima chestie pe care o puteti vedea este ca peste tot pe strada pe strada puteti vedea steagurile Braziliei ,foarte multe strazi au ornamente deasupra strazii asa cum avem noi de Craciun, aproape fiecare masina are pe ea steagul Braziliei(chiar si a mea) ,aproape in fiecare magazin angajatii sint imbracati cu tricoul nationalei Braziliei DAR surpriza cea mai mare vine chiar acum …J

Si asta este pentru fostii mei colegi J care vroiau tot timpul sa vinda cit mai multe produse clientilor pe baza unor procese bine puse la punct de forecast si planningJ

Acum 4 saptamini am luat o decizie in cadrul managemntului companiei ca ar fi cel mai inteligent sa oprim productia pentru meciurile in care va juca echipa Braziliei .Nu numai atit ,dar vom monta televizoare in toata fabrica si vom asigura angajatilor pe perioada meciului pop corn si Coca Cola J Ce ziceti ? Si spun ca asta e o decizie inteligenta deoarece daca nu facem asta angajatii nu vor veni la lucru si pierderea ar fi mult mai mare decit cele 2 ore de oprire a productiei. In plus de asta in toata fabrica avem steaguri si totul e pregatit .

Cum am spus atmosfera e parca mai incarcata de sentimente placute decit Craciunul iar cel mai mare cadou care il pot avea acesti brazilieni este ca echipa lor sa cistige campionatul .

L-am intrebat pe pe baietelul meu pentru ce echipa nationala ar vrea sa joace si a ales Romania dar i-am spus ca s-ar putea sa nu cunoasca niciodata acel sentiment de a cistiga un campionat mondial si acum se mai gindeste . Ce lipsit de patriotism sint ,asa-I ?

2010 FIFA World Cup in Brazil

What I tell you now is something I will never see in Romania .I will never see where in the world. I say this because I have a feeling that Romania will never be world champions in football and we like Romanians did not have soccer in our blood so much as Brazilians do.
As you know in a few days will start the football World Cup in South Africa. To have an idea I can tell you that how he feel the spirit in the air about Christmas in Romania, now, here, the spirit of this tournament is the same or stronger.
The first thing that you can see across the street is that you can see a lot of the Brazil flags, many streets have street decorations like we have on Christmas time, almost every car has a Brazilian flag on it (even mine), almost every store employees are dressed with Brazil national team shirt BUT the biggest surprise is coming right now ...
And this is for my former dear colleagues who always wanted to sell as many products to clients based on good procedures and processes in place for forecast and planning
Four weeks ago we made a decision within company management that would be most intelligent to stop production for games in which Brazil team will play. Not only so, but we mounted televisions throughout the factory and will ensure employees during the match pop corn and Coke? And I say this is a smart decision because if we do that employees will not come to work and loss would be much greater than the stopping production for 2 hours. In addition to this we have flags all over the factory and everything is ready.
Like I said the atmosphere is filled with good feelings like Christmas and the greatest gift that they can have is that their Brazilian team to win the championship.
I asked him what little boy on which of the national team wants to play and he choose Romania, but I said to him to be smart and think again because that might be that never will know that feeling to win a world championship playing for Romania and now he is still thinking. What an unpatriotic father I am, right?

O insula de vis

In fata unei piscine pe un sezlong.In fata unei piscine imense. In mijlocul piscinei e un bar in apa .Piscina e inconjurata dee palmieri si umbrelute din paie care arata ca niste lacustre

.

In jur se aude muzica .Muzica cu specific venezuelean.Va fi spectacol si asta seara in curtea vilei in care stam .E seara si stau sa contemplez acest pisaj minunant,peisaj pe care nu l-am vazut decit in filme si parca nu imi vine sa cred ca il traiesc .In continuare ma consider tot aceasi persoana simpla plecata dintr-un oras mic care nu a visat niciodata ca va ajunge in astfel de locuri minunante .Sint recunoscator pentru tot ce primesc in fiecare zi .Copii incearca sa se culce dupa o zi in care i-am tarat dupa noi si nu i-am lasat sa doarma .La noapte plecam spre Manaus si o sa fie o noapte grea deoarece avem avion la ora 5.00 AM.Am vazut multe aici dar nu destule sa fiu pe deplin satisfacut .Era si normal de fapt ca in 5 zile sa nu poti acoperi o insula de 1000 m2.Ceea ce imi doream sa vad era acel palmier culcat linga o apa de smarald .Nu am gasit perfectiunea pe care mi-o doream ca si cea din fotografia de mai jos dar am gasit altii care aratau minunat .

Am resit sa vedem 5 plaje si sint sigur ca nu am vazut mai nimic .Am vazut plaja El Agua care este cea mai renumita si cea mai populata .Am vazut plaja Pampatar ,plaja pe care ne-am petrecut 3 zile si care a fost perfecta pentru noi pentru ca nu era foarte mare ,avea multi palmieri fumosi pe plaja ,avea o apa linistita si preturile erau bune.

Am vazut plaja Moreno,o plaja care arata superb dar care era foarte populata in acel moment astfel incit ne-a facut sa renuntam in a sta acolo.

Apoi am vazut plaja Bongobeach care dimineata cind am vazut-o arata binisor pentru ca era goala si avea un gazon frumos pe care erau plantati palmieri dar seara cind ne-am dus era plina ,deci nu am stat.Plaja Pampatar a ramas favorita si acolo ne-am petrecut majoritatea timpului .Am avut o deosebita placere sa stau la umbra acelor palmieri cu un suc de maracuja si sa admir minunata mea familie care se alergau pe plaja si se stropeau .Asta se intimpla intre Cami si Dani pentru ca Robert isi vedea nestingherit de castelele lui de nisip care nu ii prea ieseau .Bucalatul J

De obicei seara veneam si mincam la hotel si ne scaldam in piscina hotelului .Am avut deosebita placere sa inot cu minunatii mei copilasi si sa fim senzatia piscinei .Unde mai vezi o maimutica de 1.9 anisori inotind singur .Ceea ce mi s-a intimplat a fost sa ma vad incojurat de patru femei care aproape ma luau si pe mine de buchite cit de frumosi li se pareau copii .Tare bine m-am simtit.Multumesc copii J))

Stiti cum ziceau fetele :”Que lindo ,querido “ cu o voce din acea pur spaniola pe care nu o pot reproduce in scris .Bebe a vrut sa inoate si fara minutele lui gomflabile si l-am lasat .La fund binenteles ,ca nu a reusit saracutul sa stea la suprafata .Ce tata ,veti spune ,hey ? Nu,trebuie sa invete sa lupte sa fie deasupra tot timpul .Sint multe lucruri in viata care te pot dobori asa ca trebuie sa invete cum sa se ridice si sa gaseasca drumul spre suprafata .E un curajos oricum .Si un puternic .Ridica scaunele de plastic mai usor decit o face Dani si chiar am ris cu Cami ca la un moment dat cind el si Dani au luat vreo 20 de scaune si le-au aliniat Robert nu mai ajungea cu scaunul lui .Ne miram de ce .De ce credeti ? I s-a parut ca ,cu un singur scaun e prea usor si incerca sa vina cu doua J)) Hercule lu’tata J

Daca trebuie sa vorbesc despre insula din pacate trebuie sa afirm ca aceasta insula din Marea Caraibelor are o natura splendida dar cum de multe ori spun: pacat ca e locuita J Si aici ma refer la faptul ca acesti oameni ar putea face o gramada de bani din turism dar nu stiu cum sa o faca .Inca sint destul de rudimentarin servicii si destul de nepoliticosi .Taximetristii au incercat sa ne tapeasca in fiecare zi si din pacate am pierdut o dupa amiaza deoarece unui taximestrist pe care l-am luat din fata hotelului i-am spus ca vreau sa merg la plaja Pampatar si am plecat .Cind am ajuns aproape de plaja ne-a spus ca drumul e blocat din cauza carnavalului si ca nu poate trece .binenteles s-a dat dee gol ca in fioercare zi in aceasrta saptamina va fi blocat dupa ora 16.00.Deci stia dar tot ne-a dus pina acolo sa ne arate ca nu se poate si sa imi ceara dublu pret ca a trebuit sa ma aduca inapoi J A doua zi am aflat ca mai era un drum care mergea la plaja Pampatar care nu era inchis dar nesimtitul nu ne-a dus pe acolo ....

A doua zi am avut o alta intimplare interesanta cu un alt taximetrist .Am plecat de dimineata in centru pentru a inchiria o masina si nu am reusit deoarece ori erau toate masinile inchiriate ori erau foarte scumpe .Asa ca am renuntat si am hotarit sa mergem pe plaja cu inca o familie cu care ne-am imprietenit aici .I-am spus taximetristului ca vrem sa mergem la plaja Paradisio ,am negociat pretl si am plecat .La un moment dat realizez ca omul meu mergea in directia opusa .L-am intrebat unde merge si saracutul mi s-a destainuit ca nu stie unde e plaja Paradisio.Atunci l-am ajutat eu si i-am aratat unde e plaja .Saracutul... Apoi ,dupa vreo ora de mers am ajuns la acea plaja pardisiaca...

Ne-a spus ca la 4.30 PM vine sa ne ia pentru ca atunci se inchide plaja .Ok my friend .Ne vedem atunci . Din pacte acea plaja nu era ce ne asteptam ,adica sa fie ca un paradis .In afara de apa care era ca un lac si era foarte mica pe o lungime mare nu era nimic altceva. Probabil din aceasrta cauza si probabil ca era foarte cald si nu erau copaci pe acolo prietenul nostru a inceput sa comande bere .Din fericire la inceput si din nefericre la sfirsit comanda tot timpul cite doua si imi lua si mie .Asa ca dragii mei nu stiu cite beri am baut dar stiu ca prietenul meu s-a ametit bine de tot .Eu “bautorul profesionist” m-am ametit dar aveam lucrurile sub control si ma distram pe timpeniile lui .Eu nu as fi facut ce facea el si am fost surprins sa vad ca sotia lui inca ridea cu el .Probabil Cami ma agata intr-un pom si ma lasa acoloJ Oricum am vazut ca in seara aia my friend nu a mai iesit din casa iar a doua zi pe plaja l-am invitat sa bem o bere si m-a refuzat politicos J))) Probabil a luat-o acasa J))

Deci revin la plaja Paradisio unde la ora 3.30 PM a aparut taximetristul spunind ca trebuie sa plecam .I-am amintit ca ne-am inteles la 4.30 pm si nu l-a 3.30 pm.Am plecat la 4.30 PM pina la urma si am ajuns la hotel unde baiatul a vrut sa ii platesc si ora in care ne-a asteptat .Atunci i-am spus in spaniola, portugheza,engleza si romana ca nu sint prostul lui si ca nu am sa-i platesc .S-a dus la receptie sa ma reclame si eu m-am dus sa rezolv problema cu el .Puteam sa plec si nu ma mai gasea dar nu sint omul care ar face asta .In schimb my frined a disparut si m-a lasat singur sau nu ... mi-a adus 2 beri in timp ce ma certam cu taximetristul ca sa mai capat putina forta :))))) I-am dat pina la urma la taximetrist mai putin decit a zis el si i-am zis in spaniola mea perfecta sa se care ...”J))

Per global cu toate bune si rele mi-am implinit un vis pe care mi l-am fixat acum multi ani in urma iar mesajul meu este ca nu trebuie sa incetati niciodata sa visati .Fixati-va anumite teluri ,vizualizati-le cit mai des si veti vedea ca intr-o zi ,intr-o luna ,intr-un an sau 20 ani acele vise vor deveni realitate .Mintea voastra va lucra in subconstient pentru acel vis .

Va doresc sa aveti sansa si puterea sa va urmati visele si nu lasati nimic sa stea intre voi si dorintele noastre. A nu se intelege gresit , nu vreau sa va insuflu sa va urmati visele calcind pe orice fara scrupule. Nu ,alegeti calea cea dreapta si intr-o zi veti fi acolo unde va doriti.

ENGLISH VERSION

In front of a swimming pool on a beach chair. In front of a huge swimming pools. In the middle of pool there is a nice water bar. The pool is surrounded by nice palm trees and umbrellas that look very nice.

I can hear music around, Venezuelan music .Will be show tonight in the courtyard of the villa where we are living. It is evening and I sit to contemplate the wonderful landscape which I saw only in movies and I still do not believe that I have the chance to live these moments. I still consider I am the same person born in a small town that has not ever dreamed it would reach such wonderful places. I'm grateful for all these I get, every day. Children are trying to sleep after a day when I dragged after us and I never let them sleep. At night we will leave to Manaus and will be a difficult night because we have a plane at 5.00 AM. I saw many things here but not enough to be fully satisfied. It is normal in fact because in 5 days you can not cover an island of 1000 m2.What I wanted to see was that a nice palm lying down near the emerald water. I did not find the perfect one I wanted like in the photo below but I found others that looked great.
We saw 5 beaches and for sure we have not seen anything. I saw the beach El Agua which is the most famous and most populated. We saw the beach Pampatar, the beach that we spent 3 days and that was perfect for us because it was not very large, have many nice palm beach, have a quiet water and prices were good.
We saw the beach Moreno, a beach that looks gorgeous but was very populated at that time so made us to not stay.
Then we saw that morning Bongo beach when I saw it looks pretty good because it was empty and had a nice lawn that was planted palm trees, but when we went was full, so we did not stay. Pampatar beach remained the favorite one and there we spent most of the time. I had the pleasure to sit in the shade of those palm trees with a Maracuja juice in my hand and admire my wonderful family that ran on the beach and the splashing each other with water. This happens between Cami and Dani ,because Robert was taking care unhindered by the sand .Cheeky guy J
Usually in the evening we come back and eat at the hotel and swim in our hotel's swimming pool. I had the pleasure to swim with my little children and we were the pool’s sensation. Where else you can see a little monkey of 1.9 years old swimming alone. What happened I was surrounded by four women almost took my cheek because of my beautiful kids.I felt so good J .Thanks kidsJ
You know how girls said: "Que lindo, Querido" in a voice of pure Spanish that you can not reproduce in writing. Bebe wanted to swim without his inflated hands and I left him. At bottom of course. My poor little Tarzan ,did not managed to stay on the surface. What a father, you will say, hey? No, he must learn to fight to be over the situation, all overthe time. There are many things in life that can put you down so he must learn how to get up and find the way to the surface. It's a brave guy anyway. And strong one . Lifting plastic chairs is easier for him than Dani and we have a laugh with Cami that at a time when he and Dani took about 20 chairs and they have aligned them ,Robert did not with arrive his chair and we wonder why. Why do you think? He thought, with one seat is too easy and try to come up with two My Hercules J
If I need to talk about the island I have to say that this island in the Caribbean sea has a splendid nature but how many times I say: shame that is inhabited J and here I refer to the fact that these people could do a lot of money from tourism but do not know how to do it. They have rudimentary services and they are quite rude. Taxi drivers tried to cheat us every day and unfortunately we lost one afternoon because of a taxi driver that I got in front of the hotel .When I got near the beach he told us that the road is blocked because of carnival and could not move anymore. In next day I found out that there was another road that goes to the beach Pampatar but it was too late to go anymore..
The next day I had another interesting story with another taxi. We went downtown this morning to rent a car and we did not succeed because at that time all the cars were rented or were very expensive. So I gave up and decided to go on beach with another family that we became friends here. I told the taxi driver we want to go to the beach Paradisio, we negotiated the price and left. At some point I realized that my taxi driver went in the opposite direction. I asked him where I was going thinking that he knew where beach Paradisio is.He told me that in fact he does not know where it is and then I helped him and I showed where is the beach on the map. My poor guy,he tried to make more money with us ...
Then he said that at 4.30 pm came to take us back home because then the beach get closed. Ok my friend. See you then. In fact that beach was not what we expected, to be a paradise. Besides the water that was like a lake and was very small on a long distance, there was nothing else, not even a tree . Probably because of this and probably was very hot our friend started to order beer. Fortunately at the beginning and unfortunately at the endhe always ordered two beers and I always get one to me. So my dears I do not know how many beers I drank but I know my friend was dizzy all over. I "the professional drunker" ,I was dizzy but I had things under control but my friend not. I would not have done what he was doing and I was surprised to see his wife still laugh with him. Probably Cami would hang me in a tree and let me there. However we saw that in that night my friend was not coming out of the house and the next day at the beach I asked to drink a beer with me and he refused me politely :)))

So back to the beach Paradisio, where my taxi driver arrived at 3.30 pm saying that we must go. I recalled him that we agreed at 4.30 pm and not at 3.30 pm. We left anyway at 4.30 PM and we finally arrived at the hotel where the boy wanted to pay him for the time he was waiting for us from 3.30 to 4.30 pm.. Then I said in Spanish, Portuguese, English and Romanian that I am not stupid and I will not pay.. Instead of getting help from him my friend disappeared and left me alone or not ... he brought 2 beers while the taxi driver argue with me :))))) I gave up finally the fight and give to the taxi driver less money than I said in my pure Spanish to leave us in peace ... :))

Overall with all the good and bad I fulfilled a dream that I had set many years ago and now my message is do not have to never stop dreaming. Set your specific goals, view them as often as possible and you will see that in a day, a month or in a year or in 20 years those dreams will come true. Subconsciously your mind will work for that dream.

I wish you to have the opportunity and power to follow your dreams and not let anything stand between you and our desires. Do not get me wrong, do not follow your dreams stepping on anything unscrupulously. No, choose the right path and one day you will be where you wanna be.
