Indubitabil, Nu Conteaza.

1) Had my 1st blog back in 2004, when the thing had just started growing in Romania. It came out inspired by Constantin Basturea’s Global PR Blog Week and an interview of Mike Manuel (Media Guerrilla) that appeared in the PRIME Europe newsletter.*

2) Never owned a pet. I’m actually afraid of dogs (and spiders) & allergic to cats. And I couldn’t have the time to take care of them anywayz.

3) Like sushi & marinated raw fish. I could eat those forever. On my prolonged list of likes: Tex-Mex, Italian, anything spicy/ crispy/ sweet.

4) Am a sworn chocolate addict (black, 75-80% cocoa). If rehab didn’t do it, nothing can.

5) Have 7 dresses in my closet I don’t wear anymore. I keep them for what if’s sake. Also, an impressive collection of sweaters & tees, same reason. Thinking of giving them away to charity.

6) Bite my nails when I’m stressed. Especially if I read interesting stuff and need to focus. Remedy that almost never works: chewing mints.

7) Love to talk to people. The more, the merrier. Especially if public speaking and if it motivates an audience. That’s why I spam you guys on Twitter, amongst other things.

8) Love to learn, learn, learn (Lenin makes a point here). TED.com is my all-time favorite learning tool. And motivational speeches, and of course everything cool that starts with “www” (check out Unseen Romania).

9) Travelled only to Italy (twice), Austria and France. I’d love to see the Grand Canion one day, get to the Golden Gate Bridge in San Fran and drink a Cosmo in NY, following on Carrie Bradshaw’s footsteps.

10) Would love to write and put up meetups / conferences, and speak in public, and express my self in artistic ways for the rest of my life. So help me God!

*It was first hosted on blogger/blogspot, burried 1 year after, followed by 2 more which shared its fate, then revived on Yahoo’s 360° platform. In 2006/2007 I returned to blogspot, paralleled by another 2 projects on Wordpress which I abandoned soon after birth. By the end of December 2007, I had already moved to this domain - gifted too me at a bloggers’ meetup.
