Madalina Ghenea in Sorrentinos Youth (2015)  

Thrown (Ţâpat) in , ,

I was going through a movie marathon when I started this article. I thought I’d seen something in Ghenea’s performance, then I wasn’t so sure. And time passed.

wi1f: la blonde de montreal  

Thrown (Ţâpat) in , ,

I thought I start the series of “Women I once dated” (WI1F) with someone I didn’t really date.

Adamescu II or Ivan, the American Spy  

Thrown (Ţâpat) in , , , ,

I recently learned some interesting facts from a follow-up (by a Romanian news outfit) on the “Romanian Government attack” on the corrupt Adamescu family who is “not showing off” and it reminds me of a joke with Ivan, the American Spy.

Meleschurian or Turchurian candidate: SRI-racha Fall  

Thrown (Ţâpat) in , , , ,

Sriracha is a 'sauce piquante', SRI is the Romanian Secret Service, fall is autumn, and in Romanian "picant" could also be derived from 'to fall' which is 'a pica.' We look at the consecutive declarations of Romania’s president, an allied journalist and finally, the candidacies of other president-hopefuls, from the head of the Romanian Secret Service, Melescanu and to the former Justice Minister, Macovei. But most of all, the title is a tip of the hat to Vlad Petreanu and his excellent expose, with a title that translates roughly as “The [secret] Services Autumn.”

Happy Dia de (los) Muertos!

I hesitated for one day before writing this article and telling you this story. Maybe that's cuz here in Canada we went back to regular time, "losing" one hour.

Bianca Andreescu, Simona Halep and concern for losers  

Thrown (Ţâpat) in , ,

I watched these days Simona Halep having to retire due to an injury, Bianca triumphing over Genie Bouchard and though I certainly rooted for Bianca, I do regret somewhat both Serena’s and Genie’s respective losses.

Romani peste hotare II

Dupa cum incepusem sa zic, . Continui cu cateva cuvinte despre orfani romani adoptati de familii din Utah care se intorc sa-si vada locurile natale dupa 15 ani.

Dinamo Hurting and Diaspora News  

Thrown (Ţâpat) in , , , , ,

This blog has a Romanian Diaspora focus, so it’s only natural to go through the diaspora news. But our diaspora is everywhere (much like protochronist Dacians), and some have even returned, while some feel “exiled” in their own country, so we’re not going to discriminate. Especially since we keep hearing bad things about Dinamo, one of the 3 major “national” soccer teams while I was growing up.

How To Immigrate To Canada III  

Thrown (Ţâpat) in , , , , ,

Whenever I talk to Romanians who want to come to Canada and I answer questions, I always end up being a bit upset. I find that people ask me too many simple questions they could answer themselves with Google and too few of the “important” questions. Maybe there’s a guru hiding inside of me, and here’s where I set him free.

Poverty and Sadism (Radu aka Ramsay)  

Thrown (Ţâpat) in , , , , , ,

It’s been a while since we haven’t talked about poverty in Romania and solutions. A recent “debate” caused by an over-the-top article on not giving money to the poor gives us a chance to look at it again and also address our reticence with BDSM practices.

Thrown (Ţâpat) in , , ,

Stirile despre Romania din presa straina abunda, cand ochiul antrenat le cauta. Sa discutam povestea unui roman ajuns in Canada intr-un container din Italia.

Sever Iosif Georgescu: Plagiarizing and Hagiography  

Thrown (Ţâpat) in , , , ,

I have meant to write at length on this individual and, as expected, not only that reality caught up with me, but it left me far behind. I never expected for things to go this far, which is why I am revisiting it now.

Ad Kalendas Dacas Guarantee  

Thrown (Ţâpat) in , ,

Feeling that the previous article, on how I can help you with your misunderstandings or simply to better understand certain concepts you may be unfamiliar with, was incomplete, I added a few more clauses, mostly having to do with a money-back guarantee and also describing my first attempts at implementing the answer.

Cabanita lui Gliga - Kanzel, Poiana Brasov  

Thrown (Ţâpat) in , ,

Having recently come back from a trip to Calgary, a friend of mine was showing me beautiful photos of a snowy mountain, with real pine forests covered by snow, which all conjured up in my mind the image of the ski camp where I used to spend all of my winter holiday, and more, all throughout my school years in Romania.

This is Radio Holiday, Costinesti!  

Thrown (Ţâpat) in , , , ,

A while back, in the “Hier spricht der FerienPunkt, Kostinesti!” article, I tried to figure out the song behind the “Radio Vacanta” generic was and I failed (nor could I find it elsewhere). If there’s one motto to my existence (or at least to my self-image), that’s never give up.

Imprumuta basarabenii si antreprenorii saraci prin Kiva  

Thrown (Ţâpat) in , ,

In articolul despre MaraTOROn, am mentionat Kiva.org, proiectul bazat pe ideea de microfinantare pentru care fondatorul (Yunus) a primit premiul Nobel. Astazi am facut primul imprumut caritabil unei doamne din Republica Moldova si alteia din Liban si sunt grozav de multumit.

R U a Fat Arhi? Here’s how 2 lose weight!  

Thrown (Ţâpat) in , ,

A weight trainer has gained weight only to lose it. His weight pinnacle was achieved on November 5 and since then it’s been dropping rapidly. Yet some fatties won’t even accept a sendup to that blog – they take it as an insult.

La plimbare-n blogo.ro-oaie vol II  

Thrown (Ţâpat) in , , ,

I am often curious to look for and find an awesome blog – a blog to blow my hair back. The question is, how? Well, every now and then this blog is visited by people who find me most likely by looking at “neighbor” blogs on the same page of their ranking in various trackers. I will do the same.

Dutch Love is Tough Scheise  

Thrown (Ţâpat) in , , , , ,

By the time this article is published, I might not be in a situation to reply to comments right away. Still, not long ago I had a(nother) conversation with Blegoo and, visiting his blog, I’ve found some interesting news I had missed. This led me, for a brief moment, to question my love for Netherlands.
