February haul

S’up fellow internet people?

Today we’re gonna talk about a mini haul I ordered from the drugstore: some old time favorite essentials and some new goodies to try out 😀 Already posted a pic showing them off on FB & IG – a like & follow would be much appreciated ^^

Ordered the whole thing from Farmacia Tei, a local farmacy here but I’m sure most can be find internationally quite easily.

Here’s the whole list (in Romanian because I’m lazy :P), with links:

• Cremă hipoalergenică protecție solară Dermatologist Sunscreen SPF50, 100 ml, Altruist
• Fluid antioxidant cu protecție solară înaltă SPF 50, 50 ml, Altruist
• Gel de spalare Jelly Joker, 150 ml, Geek & Gorgeous
• Factori naturali de hidratare cu Acid Hialuronic The Ordinary, 30 ml, Deciem
• Lotiune pentru protectie solara cu SPF 50+ Actinica, 80 g, Galderma
• Loțiune hidratantă de față și corp pentru piele uscată și foarte uscată, 473 ml, CeraVe
• Cremă hidratantă de față cu SPF 25 pentru ten normal-uscat, 52 ml, CeraVe
• Crema reparatoare pentru maini, 100 ml, CeraVe
• Set perii de par Rose Gold, Wet Brush

New goodies: So the two Altruist SPFs are new products for me but I’ve heard a lot of good reviews online about them, same with the Actinica SPF – one can never have enough SPF, even more if they’re said to be uber hydrating which for me, as a dry skin gal, is doubly awesome 😀 I was curious about the Jelly Joker cleanser from Geek & Gorgeous, another brand I keep seeing in my news feed so I decided to give it a go. The brush set is pretty self explanatory, I heard a lot about WetBrush and decided to try it out, especially since this set had a travel brush, which I needed. I’ll come back and review them when I tried them all for a while. As you know, skin care products need a lot of time for testing 😀

Repurchased: all the Cerave products & the The Ordinary Natural Moisturizing Factors + HA are products that I’ve tried in the past and liked. The one thing I can recommend anybody try is the Cerave hand cream – I swear by it, the others may be hit or miss depending on our skin, I’d say try them out if you have normal to dry skin. The AM moisturizer isn’t the most hydrating face cream I’ve tried, I prefer one from Olay (Olay Total Effects 7 In One Day Cream Normal SPF 15) but I couldn’t find it so I had to go with my second choice since I’m running out 😀 The big ass hydrating lotion is another product I use, especially now, during the colder months.

By the way, I have a little shopping trick if you’re like me and love trying out new products: try buying a smaller size or even travel-sized products to see if they’re any good for you.

Let me know if any of these products are some of your favs or on your wishlist 😀

Salutare prieteni virtuali,

Am zis sa va scriu pentru a va prezenta putin mai pe larg mini-haul-ul pe care l-am postat pe FB & IG – daca n-ati dat deja un “like“, o inimioara, o maslina, ar fi super dragut din partea voastra s-o faceti, zic si io 😛

Comandai toate produsele de pe Farmacia Tei, mai jos va las lista, cu tot cu link-urile aferente.

• Cremă hipoalergenică protecție solară Dermatologist Sunscreen SPF50, 100 ml, Altruist
• Fluid antioxidant cu protecție solară înaltă SPF 50, 50 ml, Altruist
• Gel de spalare Jelly Joker, 150 ml, Geek & Gorgeous
• Factori naturali de hidratare cu Acid Hialuronic The Ordinary, 30 ml, Deciem
• Lotiune pentru protectie solara cu SPF 50+ Actinica, 80 g, Galderma
• Loțiune hidratantă de față și corp pentru piele uscată și foarte uscată, 473 ml, CeraVe
• Cremă hidratantă de față cu SPF 25 pentru ten normal-uscat, 52 ml, CeraVe
• Crema reparatoare pentru maini, 100 ml, CeraVe
• Set perii de par Rose Gold, Wet Brush

Noutati: Ce bunatati am luat ca sa incerc: toate SPF-urile de la Altruist si de la Actinica, despre care am tot auzit ca sunt super bune si hidratante, ceea ce pentru mine e foarte important deoarece am tenul uscat. Mai departe am tot auzit recent despre Geek & Gorgeous si gelul de curatare Jelly Joker asa ca am zis hai domne sa-l incercam si pe asta daca il tot lauda fetele astea de pe grupurile de profil. Legat de WetBrush ce sa va zic, aveam nevoie de o perie noua de par si am zis sa incerc si eu mult laudata WetBrush; mi-a placut pachetul acesta pentru ca avea si o perie pentru calatorit, deci inca un punct in plus. Am sa revin catre voi cu recenzii dupa ce apuc sa incerc toate produsele o perioada mai mare de timp 😀

Cumparate din nou: Toate produsele de la Cerave cat si crema de la The Ordinary sunt luate ca rezerve pentru ca deja le folosesc de multa vreme si cele pe care le am momentan sunt aproape pe terminate 😀 Ce anume recomand oricui este crema de maini de la Cerave, ma jur ca e de vis, nu e nici foarte grasa dar hidrateaza foarte bine si intra repede in piele, initial cumparasem varianta mai micuta, de 50 de ml dar deja e aproape gata. Apropo, asa am procedat cu toate produsele Cerave cand le-am cumparat prima oara: am luat varianta in gramajul cel mai mic pentru a vedea daca mi se potrivesc si apoi am cumparat variantele full-size, ceea ce va recomand si voua sa faceti daca va place sa incercati produse noi. In rest, crema de zi nu este favorita mea insa cum nu am gasit sa o cumpar pe cea de la Olay (Olay Total Effects 7 In One Day Cream Normal SPF 15), am zis sa o cumpar din nou pe cea de la Cerave, care-i a doua ca preferinta. Lotiunea de la Cerave in format de neam prost e super utila, mai ales datorita pompitei (e mult mai igienic asa decat un borcanas in care tot trebuie sa pui mana, chiar si curata, plus de asta, asa nu mai intra intra produsul in contact cu aerul). Crema de de la The Ordinary este la a doua achizitionare, imi pare rau ca nu am gasit-o in format mai mare dar na…daca ne-am lalait sa dam comanda, asa ne trebuie 😛 Asa cum va ziceam, am tenul uscat asa ca am nevoie de extra hidratare, mai ales acum iarna.

Cam asta a fost tot pentru astazi ^^ Ridicati mana daca vreunul dintre produsele de mai sus este printre preferatele voastre sau daca se afla pe lista voastra “de cumparat”.

Well, great…

Someone told me that my blog isn’t accessible from my IG bio, looks like it’s no longer accessible from Facebook either (not really that surprising seeing that they are THE SAME)… guess what? Fb won’t let me access it from their platform either cause:

Are you serious? I filled a complaint but man, their algorithm is just really sucky when it comes to things like these… I report thousands of profiles/posts that are clearly FAKE ACCOUNTS, FAKE PROFILES, BULLYING & FAKE NEWS posts and every-freakin’-time, they respond with: thanks for wasting your time, WE LOVE HAVING EXPOSED VAGINAS AND ANIMAL CRUELTY up in here so buzzer off. Ok they don’t actually say that but honestly man… I just reported an account for using a clearly fake name (ie Karen Karen), got this slap in the face:

If I could give one piece of advice to their HR Manager, it would be: please hire real people to handle these reports since your automated algorithms are not working properly.

Do you wanna know the kicker? I’ve heard people I personally know getting their accounts blocked for being “fake” even though they were using their real name & pictures just because their profile got enough reports…

Just another life lesson for you folks: QUALITY vs. QUANTITY!

Obviously, things aren’t gonna change just because I wrote about it here but trying never hurts.

P.S. Karma’s a bitch ❤

Doresc sa incep acest monolog prin a spune ca platformele astea de socializare au luat-o razna… Mi-a zis o prietena ca nu merge link-ul de la blog din bio-ul de pe Instagram… mai devreme observai ca nici din Fb nu merge (soc si groaza, nimeni nu s-ar fi asteptat).

Mda, n-am de gand sa-mi bat prea tare capul, stiam ca daca vrei sa cresti pe vreunul din site-urile astea nu prea ai cum pe cinstite plus ca nici “binevoitorii” nu ajuta daca stau sa ma raporteze pe mine. Oh nu, ce o sa ma fac acum ca nu mai pot posta pe FB si IG link catre blog? Pierderea lor, parerea mea.

Bine… pe mine ma scoate din sarite altceva… doamne fere sa raportezi paginile care spun explicit ca ofera diverse servicii ilegale 🙂 sau profile false, sau stiri false/care dezinformeaza.. sau orice chestie cu adevarat naspa… la alea mereu raspunsul prompt si automat e ca “n-are nimic”.

Pe principiul lumea e mica si aplicand regula de 6: draga manager de resurse umane de la Facebook/Instagram: algoritmul vostru este degeaba in privinta raportarilor; angajati oameni reali care sa le verifice!

Culmea culmilor fiind ca stiu din cunoscuti care s-au trezit blocati pentru ca au profile false desi avea numele real din buletin, pozele lor si nu postau balarii da’ au avut ghinionul sa fie raportati de numarul “corect” de oameni.

Ce sa zic, ii vesnica lupta intre CALITATE si CANTITATE 🙂 In cazul acesta, s-a ales prost 🙂

Hai Doamne Ajuta!

Letting things/people go

If I could give anyone one piece of advice, it would be: DON’T LIVE IN THE PAST, LET IT GO!

I see this type of toxic behaviour in a lot of people, making the same mistake over and over again, staying hung up on things that happened ages ago. That’s honestly a foreign concept to me…

Question: HOW & WHY? I for one can’t remember what day it is, let alone older events. I can hardly make time to do things now or in the near future, never mind having time to reminisce over the bad/good times in the past…

The past should stay in the past, you should only visit it to learn from it, not to try and relive it 🙂

Another mistake I see is people not getting that they have been cut out of other people’s lives for good. Personally, I’ve been on both sides of this. I will admit that seeing people you’ve once had dear reject you is painful but I do understand that it’s their right and that’s that. I try and leave them alone and move on.

I have cut off people from my life too (even family members), usually because they were toxic and I’ve decided a long time ago that I will not be wasting any more time on people that only try to bring me down or do not respect me. I highly recommend this article for more insight: https://themindsjournal.com/why-its-okay-to-cut-toxic-family-members-out-of-your-life/2/

So, I have a message for all the people that keep stalking & harassing me (and my friends) even though I’ve stopped all communication with them for a long time: STOP IT! If I wanted to talk to you, I would have done so by now. Let it go, move on. If you are not able to do so on your own, please seek professional help, go to a shrink! Stop obsessing about me or the past and live YOUR life!

Hope this helps someone 😉

Stay safe people & live in the present 😉

Cred ca una dintre cele mai importante lectii pe care le-am invatat pana acum in viata asta ar fi: NU TRAI IN TRECUT!

Am observat ca multi oameni traiesc blocati in trecut si pur si simplu refuza sa treaca peste anumite lucruri.

Am doua intrebari pentru ei: cum si de ce? Io una n-am timp efectiv de asemenea chestii, chiar ma preocup constant cu ce fac pe moment sau ce urmeaza sa fac in viitorul apropiat. De adus aminte diverse iar e ceva peste puterea mea, abia-mi amintesc ce-am facut ieri, apai ce s-a intamplat acum nu stiu cativa ani…

Singurul motiv pentru a te uita in trecut ar fi ca sa vezi ce ai de invatat din el, ce greseli ai facut tu/cei din jur si sa nu le repeti 🙂 In nici un caz nu e o idee buna sa il retraiesti constant sau, mai rau, sa scoti ochii altora din cauza asta.

Legat de asta, ce-am mai observat la persoanele care fac greseala capitala de a trai in trecut, este ca nu isi dau seama cand altcineva rupe legatura cu ei definitiv. Io inteleg ca e nasol cand cineva drag decide sa iasa din viata ta, am patit si eu, n-am inteles pe moment de ce (la unii nici acum nu inteleg 100%) da’ totusi am ales sa le respect decizia si sa-mi vad de drumul meu. Libertatea mea se termina cand incepe libertatea altuia, si asta este cea mai mare dovada de respect pe care o pot oferi altcuiva.

La randul meu, din cauza comportamentului toxic pe care-l aveau unele persoane din viata mea, am fost nevoita sa rup orice legatura (inclusiv cu anumite rude de sange). Un articol foarte bun pe tema asta este https://themindsjournal.com/why-its-okay-to-cut-toxic-family-members-out-of-your-life/2/ dar este in engleza. Eu personal aleg sa refuz sa imi mai pierd timpul cu oameni care nu ma respecta deloc si care doar ma trag in jos sau ma tin pe loc.

Am un mesaj pentru cei ramasi in trecut si agatati de mine – mai mult pentru ca am obosit sa fiu hartuita prin toate mijloacele posibile (atat eu cat si prietenii apropiati): INCETEAZA! Daca as fi vrut sa reiau legatura, as fi facut-o pana acum da’ la unii chiar au trecut niste ani buni si degeaba, ei tot in trecut au ramas… Treci peste! Daca nu poti singur, apeleaza la un specialist, du-te la psiholog sau chiar si la psihiatru pentru ca, in mod cert, nu este normal un astfel de comportament. Renunta la obsesii fara sens si traieste-ti viata ta!

Sincer, chiar sper ca mesajul sa ajunga la cine are nevoie de el si sa ajute pe cineva.

Multa bafta :)!

We are social media-ing

Hello internetz,

We now have both an official Facebook & Instagram page 😀 Weee – nothing’s posted… YET but I will soon be posting here, there, everywhere.

*

Salutare internet,

Voiam doar sa va anunt cu surle si trambite ca-mi facui pagina de Facebook si Instagram pentru blog. Bravo mie! Is goale ambele da’ nu disperati, o sa incep sa postez poze in curand.

Another year has passed…

Hello internet,

Another year has passed and I’ve yet to post anything here… Mind you, I think about this blog almost daily and yet, I do nothing towards my goal of writing.

Lots of people in my life have told me to at least write reviews on all the stuff I buy – and I do shop a lot – so it’s not because lack of ideas/inspo.

Anyway, instead of more self-deprecating nonsense, I think it would be good to give you some updates on how my life has been during these past years.

I’ve gotten a second cat, her name is Luna 😀 She is a tortoiseshell cat and she’s very sweet & loving.

I’ve managed to step up and shift careers – I’m still in a transitional phase now, trying to move in another direction so fingers crossed.

I’ve visited a lot of countries with my close ones ❤

I’ve went on business trips.

I’ve developed an addiction to online shopping for make-up & clothes.

I’ve joined a political party.

Looking back, I’d like to say I’ve kicked my depression’s ass but sadly, no. It’s been going on for too long and while I can usually manage it, sometimes things do become unbearable. And yes, I know, I should probably seek help but meh… It’s hard.

What are my goals for the future? Well, one of my dreams is to work remotely full time & earn enough so I can move to Tenerife or at least be able to stay there during the colder months.

I’d also like to actually work more on my blog for it to become a success and a pillar for the beauty community for two reasons: 1. who are you kidding, everyone wants to succeed in their endeavours 2. I feel like this “industry” lacks people that give honest reviews.

So I think I should start by making a FB page for my blog to promote it & start building a community.

I’d like to reiterate that this blog is meant to be very me, which is: expert opinion giver in almost all matters 😛 yes, I’d like it to be more focused on my main hobbies: makeup & amateur fashion but I’ll still express my opinions on random stuff that may sometimes be controversial.

Read you laterz,

Diana

Salutare internet,

O mai trecut un an si ca sa vezi, am mai facut un romanism: n-am facut nimic. Da, foarte rau, rusine sa-mi fie, mai ales ca ma gandesc constant la treaba asta. Credeti-ma ca ma cert singura mereu ca ba vrei aia si ailalta da’ nu faci nimic. Nimeni nu ma judeca mai rau decat o fac eu insami pentru lipsa de asumare.

Da’ uite ca na, mai bag o fisa, intr-o buna zi poate chiar imi va iesi. Ah, si daca revenira cei doi fani pe care-i aveam, poate ati observat ca nu mai “traduc” postarea in engleza. Mdeah, am sa renunt la a face asta ca imi complica viata. Pur si simplu o sa scriu cum imi vine si vedem ce-o fi. O sa pastrez tema dar ideile vor fi transmise usor diferit, cum e si normal cand vrei sa comunici acelasi lucru in doua limbi straine.

Bun, deci hai sa va spun asa ce-am mai facut cu viata mea in ultimii ani, ca poate era cineva curios:

Mi-am mai luat o pisica: Luna, foarte draguta si iubareata.

Am schimbat niste multe joburi, am invatat foarte multe lucruri noi si acum sunt din nou in proces de tranzitie spre o alta pozitie. Sper sa fie intr-un ceas bun.

M-am plimbat prin mai multe tari, mai mult in interes personal dar si in interes profesional.

M-am apucat sa cumpar makeup si toale fara numar, de parca nu exista ziua de maine. Cum vad reduceri, dau cu cardul, csf.

Colac peste pupaza, m-am bagat si-n politica.

Legat de starea mea mentala, ca am citit asa postarile vechi si ba frate, da’ eram depresiva rau… ce sa zic, asta nu s-a schimbat. Uneori am zile bune, alteori nu. Mi-as dori sa merg la terapie da’ nu vreau sa ma duc undeva, mi-ar placea sa se desfasoare online, ceea ce nu prea se intampla in tarisoara asta deci… om vedea ce-o mai fi si cu asta.

Acuma sa va povestesc despre marele meu vis: vreau sa ma mut definitiv in Tenerife, gen sa-mi cumpar acasa acolo si sa traiesc la cald si bine pana la adanci batraneti. Sau macar sa pot sta acolo cat e frig si naspa aici. Bineinteles, ca sa pot face asta, am nevoie sa lucrez de la distanta si sa am si un salariu ceva mai mare.

Al doilea vis, mai putin maret si care sincer mi se pare mai greu de realizat: mi-ar placea ca blogul sa aiba succes pe partea de recenzii de makeup si toate cele. Io n-o sa ma fac acum ca vai, nu ma intereseaza partea asta si bla bla. V-am mai zis ca modestia nu face parte din repertoriul meu. Ideea e ca mie chiar imi place foarte mult sa cumpar machiaje si sa ma joc cu ele, si dupa sa dau sfaturi legat de ele. De haine nu mai zic, ca din alea toate purtam. Si cred ca nu sunt singura care efectiv s-a saturat de postari sponsorizate si recomandari platite. Inteleg ca multe dintre fetele alea traiesc din asta si faptul ca integritatea nu-ti plateste facturile si chiria da’ eu nu ma incadrez deci efectiv n-am ce pierde.

Ar trebui sa-mi fac si eu o pagina de FB ca tot omul ca sa incep sa ma promovez si sa construiesc o comunitate.

Ah si sa nu uitam ca nu vreau sa renunt la profesia mea de baza: experta in dat cu parerea legat de orice, indiferent ca jumatate din timp habar n-am despre ce vorbesc. Da, as vrea ca subiectele principale sa fie despre machiaje si fashion amatoricesc dar credeti-ma ca asta n-o sa ma impiedice din dat cu parerea despre altele.

Sa ne auzim cu bine,

Diana

 

I’m back!

Hello beautiful people,

I’m back, hopefully for good this time.

I can’t believe almost four fucking years have passed since I last posted here. Sooooooo many things have happened, some good, some bad.

I’ve re-read some of my old posts and dayum gurl… those were some sad, self-loathing posts. Fear not, more will come *haha*

Anyway, I’m posting now to let my followers (two I think) that 1. I’m still alive 2. I’m back.

*

Salutare internet,

Stiu ca absolut toti mureati de curiozitate… mai traieste Diana asta? Mai scrie si Diana asta ceva? Nu mai avem de cine sa radem…

Va inteleg perfect. Mie nu mi-a venit sa cred ca n-am mai scris aici din 2015. Cand m-am uitat asa pe postarile mele vechi si-am vazut atata deprimare si tristete, am zis “Ce-i asta fha?”. Dupa mi-am amintit ce faceam cu viata mea la vremea respectiva si totul a avut sens.

Stati linistiti, viata tot de cacat este da’ macar am invatat sa ma mai impac cu gandul. Pana la urma, timpul le rezolva pe toate. O sa va povestesc io.

In fine, am zis sa dau un semn de viata mai mult pentru cei doi “urmaritori” (urasc cuvantul asta, tot “followari” suna mai bine desi este 100% incorect). Stati linistiti ca n-am murit (desi uneori, asa ar fi parut) si m-am intors.

I’m in over my head

So this “two posts a month” thing is annoying. I simply can’t be bothered… I’ve been so depressed lately that writing just doesn’t appeal to me in any way… It’s like a chore I have to do and it’s sad.

That’s the thing about depression though…everything you used to love now annoys you or doesn’t interest you anymore… Another example: I used to love going for walks alone in the park, it would give me time to think and relax me but I haven’t done it in over a year and I tried it once a few weeks ago and I got more and more anxious as I got closer to my house and I felt like I was suffocating and having a panic attack. Conclusion? No more walking in the park for me, thank you very much.

So this is why I write so rare and rely mostly on filler posts. I have 11 drafts but none are finished and I don’t know which to finish first since when I look at them now and they all seem stupid.

Anyway, I’ll try harder though.

*

Chestia asta cu doua posturi pe luna ma seaca. Pur si simplu n-am chef si asta-i realitatea cruda. Ma simt atat de deprimata in ultima vreme incat treaba asta a devinit o obligatie, ceea ce este trist tare.

Dar mna, nu e ceva neobisnuit, pana la urma asta-i unul dintre simptomele depresiei. Un alt exemplu ar fi: mie-mi placea tare mult sa ma plimb prin parc singura si sa ma gandesc la chestii…eh n-am mai facut asta de un an si ceva pana acum cateva saptamani cand am zis hai sa incerc… M-am simtit oribil! Aveam o stare de anxietate inexplicabila, simteam ca nu puteam sa respir…in fine, abia asteptam sa ajung acasa. Concluzia e ca n-o sa mai fac asta prea curand.

Cam asta e motivul pentru care majoritatea posturilor sunt de umplutura in ultima vreme dar… o sa incerc sa-mi dau silinta in continuare 🙂

The quiz #3

How to: learn Spanish

So I’ve been quite proud that I have been sticking to my Duolingo for 26 straight days now!

I keep getting asked why am I learning it though and, frankly, I don’t understand the question because they say it in a way like: “why are you wasting you time with this?”. What the actual fuck? Learning a new language is awesome! It keeps your brain from turning into mush! Plus, you get to be able to understand a whole new group of people, how is that not awesome? And no, not everybody speaks English and they don’t have to either!

Anyway, if you’re like me and are passionate about learning new languages, here are some tips:

1. Try and learn something (a word, a idiom, anything really) new related to that language every day.
2. Try and find a native speaker to chat with (italki is a great website where you can find people to pen-pal with or actually have Skype calls)
3. Try and find language-exchange groups that meet-up and chat in that specific language (we have these in Bucharest so I imagine there are some in other places of the world too)
4. Watch movies, TV shows etc. and read books in that language
5. Don’t give up even if somebody tells you it’s a “waste of time” (and this goes for anything else you want to do!)

My experience with learning Spanish:

I’m not at all fluent in this. Being Romanian, I do have an advantage as it’s close to my native tongue and I also used to watch telenovelas on the TV while growing up so I basically can understand anything I read/hear in Spanish. Writing & pronunciation also comes easy as it’s similar to Romanian but actually talking and writing to somebody in Spanish… boy… that’s really hard since the words you know seem to disappear when trying to communicate.

My plan is to finish my online course on Duolingo and then to find a native speaker to chat with from time to time.

I’ll update you guys along the way.

P.S. I also found this article that suggests other websites for learning a new language (and other stuff) but italki and Duolingo were the only ones I’ve used and can actually give an opinion on.

*

Nu-mi vine sa cred ca de 26 de zile, ma tin de facut Duolingo!

Si de cand m-am apucat tot primesc intreabarea “da’ de ce?”, zisa la modul “de ce dracu’ iti pierzi timpul cu asta cand nu-ti foloseste la nimic?”. Eh? Cum adica nu-mi foloseste la nimic? In primul rand, invat ceva nou, deci exersez creierul, in al doilea rand, cum sa nu fie misto sa poti comunica cu o groaza de oameni noi? Si nu, nu toata lumea stie engleza si nici nu ar trebui.

Revenind, daca si tu esti ca mine si esti pasionat de invatat limbi straine de nebun, iata ce sfaturi iti pot da:

1. Incearca sa inveti ceva nou legat de limba respectiva in fiecare zi, nu conteaza daca e un cuvant, o expresie… ceva!
2. Ideal ar fi sa-ti gasesti un vorbit nativ cu care sa te conversezi din cand in cand (recomand italki pentru asta)
3. Incearca sa cauti grupuri de oameni ca tine, care vor sa invete si ei aceeasi limba si intalniti-va pentru a va invata unul pe celalalt (avem si noi in Bucuresti deci clar, trebuie sa fie si-n alte orase mai civilizate, ha!)
4. Vizioneaza filme, seriale, stiri etc. si citeste carti, articole etc. in limba respectiva
5. Nu te lua dupa altii cand iti zic ca-ti pierzi timpul (sfat universal valabil)

Experienta mea de pana acum:

Evident, ca multi altii, cand eram mica, ma holbam la telenovele si mna, cam asa am ajuns sa inteleg cam tot ce aud/citesc. Greu este cu vorbitul cu alte persoane, mai ales daca-s vorbitori nativi… Efectiv ma simt ca ultima proasta pentru ca nu-mi amintesc nici cele mai de baza cuvinte – lapsus la greu – si ma tot “aaaaaaa”-uiesc de mama focului DAR e ok.

In fine, obiectivul meu momentan este sa termin tot “cursul” de pe Duolingo si sa-mi gasesc o persoana (sau mai multe) cu care sa ma conversez din cand in cand.

O sa mai scriu un articol cand mai progresez 😀

P.S. Am dat de articolul asta cu o groaza de recomandari de site-uri de unde poti sa inveti o groaza de chestii – programare, limbi straine etc.

The quiz #2

Random post

http://quizly.io/quiz/1503/begin/1

This Inkblot Test Will Assess Your Personality
You are… Dark
The things that you saw in the test cards were mostly dark things, which means you are a highly-intelligent and introspective person. You are known to be the perfectionist at work/school or among friends and always set really high standards for yourself and others, which sometimes might appear to others as being cold-hearted. You know you’re not like that, so what about lowering your standards a little bit and stop critiquing yourself that much? Others would be lucky to be as smart and deep as you are. When in doubt, try to focus on the positive side of things, even if this will be hard or seem superficial: trust us, practice makes perfect!

Well what can I say, if it fits, I agree :))

Mna, ce sa zic, iar facui un test ca sa fie o postare aici. Greu domne cu doua articole pe luna…
