Terrorists on Baneasea Airport

The incident was like a week ago, and we all tried to look away from the embarrassment that the airport security brought among us. But Fox News, in a morning show presented the video in which 2 reporters wearing T-shirts saying "Al Qaeda Airlines" went inside the airport, in the plane hangars, put some fake bombs on them. Nobody even notice them. Just watch the video.

AIESEC NPS 2007

As I said in my last post I was chosen to be a delegate to the national conference of AIESEC. Well now I'm back & impressed!!
The conference was between 28 November & 3 December, 5 days to be exact. Because I had problems with money (as usually) I was forced to do something I didn't consider to do -> hitchhiking 400 km to the place where the conference is. All I can say about that it was fucking awesome, I didn't pay a nickle and we arrived before the other delegates :D (same thing on the way back)
At the conference there were all sort of companies, small, medium or big like the banks ING & Piraeus, AVON, Sensi Blue etc etc. There were some IT companies too like Endave, SeniorTech or Brainspotting which held a seminar for the people who choosen Technology. I expected more from the IT training, but they didn't stood up to my expectations.

When I will have access to a scanner I will publish our agenda here so you can see how busy one day at the conference was. We had Breakfast at 8 AM and from 9 AM till 11 PM there were workshops/seminaries all day (of course lunch & dinner too).
The holl concept of the NTS was awesome. We worked on teams, discussed each of us our ideas in group sessions and had a team while we stayed at the conferece. In those 5 days you can really get attached to those teammates even if you just met them. By the way, my team's name was "Lola's 9 indians", don't ask :)
Some might call me dork by now, but you are so wrong. I think the rule #2 of the conference "You are not allowed to sleep", which of course wasn't truth. But the rule was meaning the fact that after a long day like that, in the night there were themmed parties till the morning, so most of the times you didnt get to sleep. Oh and the most important rule, rule number 4, "Always use condoms" (we even got one in our wellcome kitt )
I will tell you more about AIESEC when I have the pictures form NTS 2007.

One last issue that I wanted to write is about the AIDS International day. I know it just passed but I think we should always remember the people that past away and most importantly to accept those who carry the virus. (maybe now people will say I'm infected as they said that i'm gay when i supported the gay people, don't worry I'm not :P ) At the conference we also got the simbol of AIDS fight, the Red Ribbon which some of us (too few) wear it at NTS.

Pictures & updates soon, I promise :D

NPS here i come :D

Salut Tomita ! In urma interviului ai fost alocat pe departamentul de Marketing - Information System. Iti dorim o experienta AIESEC cu cat mai multe relizari. Felicitari!

Translated: "Salut Tomita! After reviewing your interview you were assigned to the Marketing Department - Information Systems. We wish you an AIESEC experience with many achievements. Congratulations!"

Yep I made it guys, I'm the Information Systems at AIESEC. I didn't posted in a while because i was busy working on a project called "World Wide Cultures". The porpuse of the project is to learn the new members of AIESEC about the principles of AIESEC and to teach different culture to different people.
Each team had its own country to describe at a 4 hours conference. Our team found a German girl to come up front and speak about her country, truth & myths. We had to have our own identity, so the team's name was The Painkiller which is the name of a cocktail ;) Also we had to have a poster of our presentation and a name badge. Here they are:

The presentation went well, the projects were interesting, we had people bringing student from Germany, Netherlands, Austria, France, USA and Italy.

Between 28th November and 3rd December I will be at a national AIESEC meeting called NPS, where there will be more than 600 AIESEC members. This will be huge, interesting and super dooper fun!!! :D

Overreacting

I haven't watched TV for some time now and I missed a very disturbing subject. Seems like Italy, the country with which we were always in good political relations doesn't stand us anymore.

A week ago 3 Romanians were stabbed to death in Italy, the reason seemed to be that they were simply Romanian. Because the presence of the gypsies from Romania, the people from Italy have the impression that all Romanian are the same. In some cities there are riots against Romanians & protests.
As our president said in an exclusive conference last night, Italy should not forget how its economy gained from our works, as we don't forget they're investments in our country.
Not to mention that its a total hypocrisy, when we had the issue with the gypsies in our country, they judged us, and told us to be more tolerant. In Romania there weren't riots against gypsies, no protests like they do. The worst thing is that the politic men from Italy continue making press conference in which they promote the banning of Romanians.
We asked the help of the European Union, since, on paper, we are since January 2007 a full member of EU. But guess what, they think its not the time for them to intervene, after all "just" 3 people...
And whats the most discusting & filthy thing a Romanian can do, is to be bought, like some reporters which write some of the stupidest lies ever, for example Sabina "Whatever" wrote in Romania Libera that Romanians use just 4 bars of soap per year and that we buy deodorant just not to wash. All lies!! Everyone knows that MOST of the sellers don't declare all their merchandise, especially small stuff like soap, 'cause of the taxes. Sabina => Fuck you!

AIESEC

I wonder how many of you heard about AIESEC. First time I heard about it was in my first year at college, didn't give much interest in it. But this year I said I want to see whats all about and experience to work in a real organization. I'm saying real organization 'cause I'm an online volunteer at Africania, where I promote the turism in Africa to increase the economy. (You can read some articoles that I wrote at www.africania.org) .
Anyway, I completed really fast & easy a form on their website (must say its a useful thing) and expected an answer. But surprise, surprise! I was called at an interview, I was surprise since I didn't thought that this would be serios. The interview was decent, nothing that I expected. At one point I thought I won't get accepted. But 2 days after I was surprised to see my name on this list, wooohhhaaa :D
AIESEC is an international, non-political, non-profit, student-run, independent, educational foundation. It is comprised of students and recent graduates of institutions of higher education who are interested in economics and management. AIESEC does not discriminate on the basis of race, colours, sex, sexual orientation, creed, Religion, national or ethnic origin.
In AIESEC you are developing on some sort of levels, my current level is Intro AIESEC, we had today a very long local conference in which we were presented with the vision, value and the departements of AIESEC.
What do I expect of AIESEC? Well mostly every thing that was written & presented to us, to be serious, to keep up the good work and push us to our limits :P More about on this subject in my future posts.
