Something for everyone

The letter

And please, Michael…
know that I will always be
proud to have “known” you
Proud in everything…
And I promise you this, Michael,

In everything I do,
I’ll always be myself,
And I always will be true.

Love you forever.

Ce faci tu pentru Romania?

Te-ai dus si ne-ai lasat aici ca sa traiesti in puf in occident.
De cate ori aud asta imi vine sa pocnesc pe cineva.
In primul rand nu traiesc deloc in puf.
In al doilea rind am facut mai multe pentru Romania de aici decat as fi facut de acolo.
- aproape toti banii castigati i-am investit in Romania, mai multi decat as fi facut acolo in toti anii acestia.
- cand am plecat am lasat un loc de munca liber
- voi obtine o parte din pensie din bani straini, nu de pe urma statului Roman
- am contribuit si eu la o imagine pozitiva a romanilor, nu toti sunt hoti, cersetori, etc
Rant over.

Critici

Mereu am aparat Romania si progresul ei, dar ce se intampla acuma e ceva grav.
Am impresia ca romanii din Romania nu isi dau seama ce ii asteapta cu acesti hoti si incapabili la putere.

It was Madonna!

So, on the 18th of September I saw the Madonna concert from the Sweet and Sticky tour.
It was fantastic.

I only took some lame pictures with the fucking Iphone, but there are a lot of better pictures on the net and good videos on youtube.

18 September 2008
It’s open air on a moto circuit, 20 Km west of Valencia.
I waited for this all my life.

Wow, it’s almost a year since my last post..
Anyways… Did you knew there is a huge youtube movement right now on Zecchino D’Oro videos?
New updates every almost day, of course there are years and years of footage, Zecchino D’Oro had the 50 years show last year.

I always liked the beautiful italian music and this songs are basically memories from my childhood.
There is one song that I love the most, it’s called Goccia doppo goccia. (Drop after drop). It has beautiful melody and powerful yet simple lyrics.

The song was first played in 1995, i think. I am not sure if it won the competition but it stuck to my head all this years and I found out that the composer himself, Franco Fasano played it himself at the piano on the 5oth edition last year.

Here is the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uVjHVIje1Mw

I wanted to play it myself so badly that I had to contact the composer himself for the piano chords, so now I have 2 internet friends connected to Zecchino, Franco and Alessio.

Here are the email replies regarding the chords, maybe I’ll do a video playing it someday, right now I have no time (for the video, because I already can play it)

Ciao.
My name is Pex, I’m a Zecchino Fan :)
Thank you for writing such beautiful songs. All my favorite songs are written by you!
I am a Romanian but I live in Spain.
I know Alessio who sung in the choir in 1995, etc :) Hes my internet friend :)

So, of course, I have to ask you something. I know this might be annoying, and I know its a relative simple song BUT..

can you give me the piano chords for Goccia doppo goccia?

I started playing piano 2 years ago.
Thank you very much, I am listening to your songs.
Bye!

I LOVE THE INTERNET :)

Fallen Trooper

As I told you in the last post, I decided to do all most of my shopping online. Because you can really buy WHATEVER YOU WANT, not what you find in the shops, from the last year.
So I saw this type of shoes (Skateboard shoes) on somebody in a Disney comedy series and I thought they look super cool. I mean sporty, but cool, street.
So I searched the net and I found the best deal from a german online shop.
Five days after buying them, I received my package.

Fallen Trooper

Let me tell you that I have never experienced such pleasure from opening a box, since I bought my Ipod.
The box contained the shoes, a guys magazine, some publicity, a Fallen catalog, a Fallen skateboard poster, a chocolate drink and the best of all, spare shoelaces (white ones, which I will use since it looks better than with the black ones) .

The shoes are great, probably the best sport shoes I ever had.
So thumbs up for Fallen and frontlineshop.com

Barcelona shopping spree

Uff. I am tired and spent :))
Hours and hours of shopping.
First I went to Vans official shop. Bummer. They had only 5% of the entire Vans catalog and of course not what I was looking for. Throughout the spree, I found shops that had much more stock from them!
Then I went to El Corte Ingles where I bought some presents for my bro etc etc. Then I went to Fnac where I bought an Ipod Nano for my niece and a Nikon L11 for my other niece.
There were Harry Potter fans everywhere buying the damn book :))
Of course I eat at McDonalds. Ok, before you judge me, imagine that where you live there is NO MAC and you haven’t eat a Cheeseburger since February. Eating there was like yummy yummy luxury.
So… quite an exciting day only that I am xxx euros lighter and very very tired.

I swear that from now on I’ll only buy online. Pinky swear! :))

Finally I have the Gold status.
That means I have the possibility to bulk import campaigns, ads and keywords into Yahoo MS.
Big thank you to YAHOO!!

Bohemian Rhapsody on my keyboard

Days ago, Freddie Mercury was in the news in Romania related to some jerk with money who spoked like dirt about him.
Then I revised my Queen albums and remembered what a masterpiece Bohemian Rhapsody is.
So I tried the easy part on my keyboard, more rapidly because I like it up tempo :)
Here is the result after some hours of practicing. I made some mistakes at the end and I was desperately looking for the final Eb:)
But please don’t shoot the piano player, I never had a piano lesson in my life.
