Top 50 bloguri feminine din Romania

Am citit pe blogul lui Manafu despre faptul ca s-a realizat un top al celor mai bune bloggerite din Romania (conform Zelist). Personal, mi se pare o idee foarte buna, nu neaparat in vederea ierarhizarii blogurilor, ci pentru a evidentia faptul ca si femeile au un cuvant de spus in blogosfera. Citesc multe dintre blogurile aflate in acest top si e foarte interesant sa compari perspectiva mai “aspra”, a bloggerilor, cu cea feminina, a randurilor tastate cu maini finute si unghii date frumos cu lac.

Partea I si partea a II-a a topului.

Le doresc in continuare mult succes doamnelor si domnisoarelor bloggerite si la cat mai multi cititori!

Messenger 9.0

The 9.0 version of the beloved instant messaging program is out.

What I like about it:

  • the design: very elegant, smooth edges, very nice colours
  • Youtube videos are played in the conversation window, so you don’t have to open the browser to see them.
  • Pictures are also previewed ( at quite a large scale) in the conversation window so it gives you easier acces to them
  • some features are easier to access and it all looks better organized, “cleaner”
  • the status bar has 2 sections: one to write the status and one to write the URL of the link you want to show, so if you want to change either one of them, you don’t have to rewrite the entire status again.

What I don’t like about it:

  • some buttons have been moved, so it took me a while to get accustomed to it
  • the status is not entirely shown if it’s longer that the main window
  • the avatar pictures are shown automatically together, you can’t switch only one of them off
  • it takes considerably more time to load than the older versions.

Overall, I like it and I was very pleased to come across a pretty, green skin. 😀

101…and they keep on rollin’!

Happy anniversary to me! 😀 This is post number 101 and I have to say that I barely realized today that I had written 100 posts. To some it may not be be a big deal, but for me it’s important because I’ve put a lot of heart into this blog (as you can surely see from the posts). 🙂

Looking back, I can see now that I’ve evolved a lot over the past year. It all started as a way for me to practice my writing for my future career and it ended up by being a way to keep my friends up to date with what I’ve been doing lately and a way to cast a personal perspective into the open sphere of the internet. It was never intended to be a business or anything of a financial sort. Opening up to the blogosphere helped me be a better analyst of the ongoing events and enriched my knowledge. I’ve come across blogs that I keep really close to my heart, because they are written from the heart.

I’m not a big blogging success. All I want is for the people who read my words to see me as an honest mirror of the things I see around me. The proof is that my most successful post until now has been the one about Greece, wich, I believe, trully showed just how deep that country put its spell on me!

I hope to be here for the years to come and be able to put a smile on your face or make you think about things from a different perspective.  🙂

A big “Thank you !” to the people who support me! This post is for you!

mmm…Neata cu: de ce?

all_and_nothing_at_all_by_storyinaraindrop1.jpgDe ce sa scriu eu un blog? De ce sa va invinetesc clipele pretioase cu elucubratii manjite pe streamurile netului? De ce sa insir din cerneala pixelilor litere negre pe spatii albe? Pentru ca, macar din cand in cand, e bine sa te descarci de povara gandurilor si sa te dezlipesti de suflet, lasandu-l sa zboare liber intr-un alt univers. Lumea asta a netului, pffff… no rules, no boundaries, no one to judge. Asta e genul meu de lume. Si daca flori atat de frumoase cresc in umbra, cuvinte mustind de emotie pot rasati in cel mai uitat colt al fiintei. Si mai e un motiv: pentru ca e bine sa pot imparti cu ceilalti o parte din mine. Nu e niciodata usor sa te deschizi celorlalti, dar odata ce ai facut-o, nu vei mai fi acelasi. Imi place sa invat de la cei din jurul meu, din parerile si criticile lor. Sa nu va inselati: stiu ca tuturor ne place sa fim mici “spioni” in vietile altora. And that’s the beauty of it: furand putin din tot ce vedem, auzim, gustam, citim, simtim ne construim pe noi insine, in fiecare zi altfel. De azi deschid paginile vietii la intamplare si las sa curga in suvoaie tot ceea ce ma face sa fiu eu acum, maine, atunci si intotdeauna!
