Roxane

     It's the birthday of a very good friend of mine- Roxana and I want to tell her how amazing she is! I know for sure that my life would be with much less smiles if you were not by my side every time I needed you. I wish you all the happiness in the World, lots of love and success and never ever change! Happy Birthday, dear!
Roxana and me

Happy Birthday,Rox!

Not enough

     Have you ever thought of what should you have in order to say "It's enough!"? Of course you did. What about the things that you can survive to- do you know your limit- the limit when "It's enough!" breaks out of your chest?
     I am such a "Never enough person"! What the hell is in my head when a win in a tournament is not enough, fulfilling a norm is not enough, getting a new title is not enough either, getting to live the love of my life is not enough, being surrounded by amazing friends is not enough, being proud of my sister is not enough, travelling to exotic locations- too little...

     Being betrayed once doesn't make me say "It's enough", nor does my being stabbed in my back. Losing my belief in the most sacred principles-too little, abandoning myself in the slough of sins- still not enough.
     I just can't say "It's enough!" and I think that it makes me a danger for myself, though, what can be more interesting than hanging out with someone who's always ready to bid for more, right?
     You say enough?
     Never.

My Universe

     I like imagining my future- designing it the way I'd want it to be.
     I create a small Universe- one only for me and for the people I want to have in my life. I have everything I need there. There's only love, respect, loyalty, friendship and peace there. There are no obstacles that can't be bypassed.
     My Universe gets new people and new colours year by year and it changes from time to time.
     I remember that I didn't want to depend on anyone, I wanted to be a successful chess player- to travel a lot, visiting new places and getting to know new people. I wanted everyone to like me and I wanted them all to wish they could become my friends.
     My Universe has got a new interface lately. I still want to become a successful GM and I want to travel to new places, but this thing with not depending on anyone...
      I've started to think that it might be not that bad to depend on someone- to make plans not only for myself. Would it be so bad having someone who loves and respects me by my side? I stopped wanting only to get things- I want to give something back. I believe that there are persons worth being given things.
     After all, life's not only about receiving- it's about maintaining a balance and I feel that mine isn't trimmed.
     I am thankful to the ones who've made me want giving things to the World.
     The good people are the ones who give you their love, respect and friendship, but the worthy ones are those who make you want giving them your love, respect and friendship.

     I am back in Iasi, morally preparing myself for the following 6 exams that I have to pass.
     The last weekend was so nice! I can't believe that I was still playing chess yesterday, feeling great and I have to study for my exams now. My session will last for 2 weeks. I hope that everything will be just fine and I'll be able to start enjoying my super busy summer schedule afterwards.
     I already miss the tournament atmosphere. The reason why I like to play tournaments in Romania is because I know everyone and I've got a lot of friends with whom I can hang out :)
     We were playing blitz in the first evening. It was very fun playing against such strong players and beating them time to time :D
