took me a few plane trips to finish it (lately I get to read only on planes)
but I devoured it and read second time the most of it. Half of it is too
technical and too much about lab rats experiments, animal studies and testing.
Even the former engineer in me got overwhelmed at some point about the data.
But the rest it's fabulous.</span></span></div>

poetic, metaphorical way, but a real one. Love it is just chemicals stimulating
neural activity on well defined neural circuits, and not meany to elevate us in
some kind of a higher spiritual plane, but to lure us unthinkingly into reproduction,
thus maximizing our evolutionary fitness. It is all so base"</i></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Got
you interested? The room for debate is huge. With or without scientific
arguments everyone has his own views about love and its importance in our
lives. We do love. We need to love. We want to love. Or we just LOVE. Deeply,
madly, passionately love sometimes. How can this be trivialized and reduced just
to some neurons and the juice flowing between them?</span></span></div>

I chose love. I chose to believe that love exists. I chose to live and fight
for my love. For my wife, for my family, for my life. Yet, I know the guys are
right. I know that sometimes drugs and addiction might flow onto the same brain
circuits and inhibit any other flows wanting to pass in the same time. Reading this book helped me, once more, to understand that sometimes nature can
be defeated, but only by the awakened, informed and self controlled human
being.</span></span></div>

</div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I got fat. About 2 kilos. On top of my other extra 3 kilos my belly carried for more than 10 years (just realized that when looking retrospectively to my photo archive).</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Five years ago, I had a heart attack. I can't allow myself being fat.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I got toxic. Especially in my brain. I got blinded of my own ghosts. I was on the brink of loosing everything. Which I can't allow.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">And then, and only then, I realized I am my own toxin and fat supplier and had to change.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">It is very fashionable to do this detox thing especially among ladies right? Vegetables, sport no stress. Simple? Not quite. But try and to do the detox cure when it comes to your brain. To your habits. To your anxieties. To your demons.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Raise your head, climb the ladder and reach for the light. Do your detox.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Did not had much time to write these days, we were busy traveling to and from but mostly having fun at Legoland where we celebrated Radu's sixth birthday.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">No need to write it down to know what makes me happy today. Or any other day.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The challenge continues!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The thing about counting the <b><span style="color: cyan;">positives</span></b> in your every day is that when you done it regularly, you just realize they are so many that at some point they become common thing, commodities. Our brain is used to go on the same paths and ignore them just because are there, <span style="color: cyan;"><b>familiars</b></span> and safe.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Sometimes you need a big storm in your life to realize that nothing is granted and one needs to fight for the familiar. To fuel it, to maintain it, to constantly bring in his <span style="color: cyan;"><b>soul, mind, hands, sweat</b></span> and <span style="color: cyan;"><b>heart </b></span>to keep going it.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">So, when the storms come, obviously the mind storm, one good thing you can do is to count your blessing in your life. Depending on your values in life you may count your car, your home, your watches, your social achievements, your professional success stories.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">However the real <span style="color: cyan;"><b>blessings</b></span> in your life are the ones which stood by you even when the storm came and you just forgot about them.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Coming back of the good things happened in a day, I mention only one: My beloved wife and kids made it to Budapest again. Next stop: Legoland! <span style="color: cyan;"><b>Adventure starts soon.</b></span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Isn't it <span style="color: cyan;"><b>amazing</b></span> how many things can happen in a day? And how many of them are really <span style="color: cyan;"><b>positive</b></span> when you are able to pull off your negativism curtain blocking your eyes?</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Today was a good day in so many ways. Not only because my family took the night train bringing them to Budapest for our new <span style="color: cyan;"><b>adventure</b></span> trip. Not only because I self indulged myself with a double pair of Ecco shoes (heavily reduced:)), not only because of the <span style="color: cyan;"><b>surprise</b></span> evening visit of a dear friend passing through Budapest.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">But this was such a good day for some <span style="color: cyan;"><b>huge</b></span> news received I would not dare to tell you about today. Because I still have to <span style="color: cyan;"><b>work</b></span>, I still have to earn it. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Wish me luck and ask me again in one month. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">And you, how positive was your day today?</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="color: red;"><b>10</b></span> years ago, I was reborn as a traveler after we started our traditional Oct 24th wedding anniversary yearly trip.

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">This year, life and troubles made me reborn again.</span></span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I've been challenged yesterday. No, not to the ubiquitous, meaningless ice bucket challenge. But to write here on this blog about good things happened to me in a day.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Hmm, quite simple when you read it. So, after thinking all day about what I should write tonight, here I am, trying to fill in this empty computer window with some <span style="color: #fff2cc;"><b>positive</b></span> thoughts about what happened today.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Why it has to be so damn hard? Probably because of my overall negative emotional potential these days but still, objectively, anybody can fill some positives about a day. Any day.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Do you have such moments?</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Should I try the method of my old companion? You lay down in the bed, at the end of the day, and you <span style="color: #fff2cc;"><b>play</b></span> in your mind the moments of the day, what you <span style="color: #fff2cc;"><b>did</b></span>, what you <span style="color: #fff2cc;"><b>felt</b></span>, good or bad, without judging yourself.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Judging yourself. The main inhibitor, the biggest saboteur of one self. The little worm inside your brain keeping you being harsh on yourself. You are not good enough, you are not <span style="color: #fff2cc;"><b>smart</b></span>, you are not <span style="color: #fff2cc;"><b>good looking</b></span>, you are not <span style="color: #fff2cc;"><b>slim</b></span>, you are not <span style="color: #fff2cc;"><b>worthy</b></span>, you are nothing, you are dirt.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">BUT. Self judgment left aside, it was a good day.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #fff2cc;"><b><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I woke up by smiling on my wife on messenger, I enjoyed my cereals like any given Hungarian morning, I had a very productive morning at work, I got a strawberry and chocolate ice cream, I had lunch (wow), I skyped with my little kids home, I completed three IELTS tests on reading and had excellent results, I had a warm bath in the hotel's spa and I will probably finish the evening talking to my wife again while deciding upon our next vacation.</span></span></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Not bad, I would say, for a day in which you feel low and depressed about it. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Did I mentioned something about saboteurs? Well, forget about them. They are only bad chemicals in your brain circuits. You are better than that, <span style="color: #fff2cc;"><b>much better</b></span>. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">You don't believe it? Take this challenge then. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">A demain!</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">So much wasted time trying to understand the clearest things, so much wasted time trying to explain the simplest thing, some much wasted time trying to win futile fights.

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Why I like it best? Because I worked a lot for it and it was no accident, I got exactly what I was looking for when planning this evening out for photos.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">It was a gloomy day with a lot of showers. Towards the afternoon the sky was turning into an interesting mixture of clouds with some promising set up for sunset. After 4 months in Budapest I got to understand the light of the evening about 4 PM afternoon :) So I left work, run for the hotel, took my bike, mount my photo bag on it and ride for the Pest side of the city towards the Chain Bridge. I snapped some interesting images taking advantage of the evening light coming in and out from the clouds and then I run (literally) towards the Parliament shore where people are ussually walking at leisure pace.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">If found his piece of water gathered from the rain before and notice the sunset reflections. It was in a narrow place in which you had two options. Either you climb a step right before the water, either you go around it on a small path in between the water puddle and the Danube shore. I strategiccally sat myself on the grass occuping the small step so the only possible way was in between me, the water puddle and the sunset. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I set up the camera with some self portraits, used my photo bag as I tripod, focused manually, left the camera next to my foot and then I rest as any other tourist watching the sunset. Some dozens of people passed before me, some of them annoyed as the road I left was a bit uncomfortable. I clicked and clicked my shutter like 30 times. When this young girl passed before me, I knew I had my picture.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">They say Budapest has fabulous nightlife you know? I think I got a piece of it :)</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: large;">Yesterday
I traveled to Vienna back and forth from Budapest. I traveled 6 hours
back and forth to attend the welcoming home party for a friend returning
home from one year of study in USA. She held this very relaxed event in
an amazing place, a small vineyard on the hills on the north part of
Vienna. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: large;">The
place was amazing. Remote, but still in the city, obviously in one of
the most affluent part of it, hills, nice houses, some vineyards, with
small terraces serving wines and snacks. And the view from the top.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: large;">But
what I liked most was the company and the people I met. While I was
very glad to meet my former colleagues and meet their family, I found
myself in the middle of Vienna finest people, relaxed, smiling,
welcoming, cosmopolitan and very interesting to talk to.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: large;">I
was the only non-Austrian at the table but they were most welcoming and
open to hear about me, being a Romanian, working in Budapest, passing
through adventure of working in Epamedia, same as Ulli and Beate.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: large;">Every
one at the table was mesmerized by the view on top of the city in the
warm summer afternoon light. A very funny and witty elder man joked with
me about how nice is to be up there and see everything and everybody
from top. Catching his idea I continued this parabola saying the
everybody from down there looks up and wants to come here.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: large;">As
we went through the day and evening approached we discussed inevitable
about Romania's situation, our struggles and issues with lack of
confidence in its future. About the fact that people like me are not
feeling fit anymore in the sea of mud we navigate sometimes and the lack
of perspectives for changing this in a better medium to raise the kids.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: large;">Later
on, the light turned mild so I went with my camera and took some
pictures of the charming surroundings and we had some more talk. At some
point the elder man had to leave and as he was shaking my hand he
pointed his finger towards the city below us and said to me while making
a funny face: "Stay up here, don't go down there"</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Last week best image comes from Parcul Copilului, a place we see in average 10-20 times per year. Why I like it best? Firstly because it was made by Radu! Secondly because it picture what Camelia and me came to love and do that much over the years. Running after light and playing with it in postures without inhbition, enjoying life and each other as well as playing with our kids. And last but not least, I just love that meter from the park minutes before 8:00 PM. I know what light will bring and how to play with it.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: large;">Last year, Cami and I we had a marvelous <a href="https://www.facebook.com/bogdan.vasile/media_set?set=a.10201583777136442.1073741855.1238336003&type=3" target="_blank">photo trip in Califormia</a> for 10 days, wandering from Los Angeles to Yosemite and shooting in some great places like <a href="https://www.facebook.com/bogdan.vasile/media_set?set=a.10201412381771665.1073741851.1238336003&type=3" target="_blank">Moro Bay</a>, Moonstone Beach, or Julia Pffeifer Beach. The last 3 days we spend in Yosemite next to <a href="https://www.facebook.com/davewymanphoto?fref=ts" target="_blank">Dave Wyman</a>, a great photo tour guide and a great person I have met one year before in my unforgettable trip to Yellowstone.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: large;">It was my second time in Yosemite after <a href="https://www.facebook.com/bogdan.vasile/media_set?set=a.2499352763333.147326.1238336003&type=3" target="_blank">my trip with Runa in 2011</a>, but Dave managed to show it to us differently. For example this magical rainbow forming on the lower part of Yosemite Falls but only if you reach there before 9:00 AM :) I was so excited about the light, that I did anything to get closer, climbing some slippery rocks, totally unprepared and without securing my cameras in the rush of finding the perfect angle. So, I slipped from a rock and my camera fell from my shoulder hitting a rock with my bloody expensive 24-70 / 2.8 L lens. To my luck, it was still functioning in manual so I was able to catch this image and fix it when back in Bucharest.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The title was not my idea, I recently read an article in NY Times when traveling from Antalya to Budapest (how cool is that for a globalization example :)). <b>Hating to Love Facebook</b> was presenting the situation of Europeans which are constantly and publicly rioting against big American tech firms like Facebook and Google while being among the most active and loyal users with a usage share much higher than Americans.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">It is very fashionable to write against Facebook these days and about how (negatively) affected and transformed our lives. <a href="http://www.bloguluotrava.ro/facebook-ne-a-modificat-profund-si-ireversibil/" target="_blank">S</a><a href="http://www.bloguluotrava.ro/facebook-ne-a-modificat-profund-si-ireversibil/" target="_blank">ome of them are very right </a>and I fully agree. However, as for many other things in life, there is the matter of free will. If I don't like it while am I still using it?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Hence the title of this post, it is not about hating or loving Facebook, it is about hating or loving the effect is has on me. While Facebook is a global wave which changed our media, social and individual behavior in a terrible way within a short period, it's up to any of us to understand how it affects us and adapt.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">This is why <b>I love me</b> using Facebook:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">1. Because it gives me access to a wide audience when I have something to say</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">2. Because I have retrieved old friends and colleges and I am keep doing it</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">3. Because I save money on phone communications</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">4. Because I can talk to people around the world easy</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">5. Because I can follow photographic work and news easy</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">6. Because I can't ignore it in my work and profession</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">7. Because I can get the news faster but not the whole news portal mess</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">8. Because I can rely on some people to feed me with interesting stuff </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">9. Because I understand or find out things about people otherwise impossible</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">10. Because it makes me look sometimes different than I feel :D</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">This is why <b>I hate me</b> using Facebook:</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">1. Because I spend too much time on it</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">2. Because my wife spends too much time on it</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">3. Because we show point 1 and 2 above to our kids constantly</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">4. Because I take the likes as appreciation for my photo work. Since I started posting my images in my blog, the number of "likes" decreased 10 times! </span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">It makes me lazy and sufficient in exhibiting my photo work</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">5. Because I read less :( </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">6. Because it makes me superficial in reading</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">7. Because it is the least secure and safe communication method</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">8. Because I accepted everybody on my wall</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">9. Because it provokes me to exhibit myself in an unnecessary degree</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">10. Because it kills my human communication skills. Try and meet a FB friend in person and speak the in the same FB-ish style with him.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">How about you, do you love or hate yourself using it?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">We took a 4 days holiday in Porto last fall a destination we long time dreamed to see in Portugal, our beloved country. Our first day turned to be a cloudy and then rainy one and we had to stay indoor. However, towards the end of the day the rain stopped and we went out to see the Atlantic ocean, we were just missing it. So we went out and stayed late, late than almost everybody, taking pictures of the rushed water onto the concrete pier. And then, just when we lost hope to see the light again, the whole sky turn red and God, once again, awarded us with a magic light. The wet pier reflected this light and all the atmosphere became surreal.</span></div>

"The Great Wandering" is a photo tour business going everywhere in Romania exploring its unspoiled villages, traditions, inhabitants and nature wanders. I knew about Sorin work but I had the surprise to discover <a href="https://www.facebook.com/bogdan.comanescu?fref=ts" target="_blank">Bogdan</a>. He is both a great photographer and a wonderful companion with an unique ability to approach villagers, unknown people, open their hearts and souls and get them interested in being photographed. He is also a great organizer and providing valuable advice to all level of photography expertise.

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">One year ago, we took a balloon flight for the first time in our life. Camelia has awarded this ride as a birthday present for my brother, his wife and for me. We took off just before sunset from 30 km from Bucharest and we flew for 20 min around 800-1000 m altitude, just to land pretty bumpy on a corn field after we avoided some high voltage lines. It was a magic experience, full of adrenaline and enchantment. I made <a href="https://www.facebook.com/bogdan.vasile/media_set?set=a.10201943063918387.1073741864.1238336003&type=3" target="_blank">a lot of pictures</a> but this one is my dearest. As I was looking mainly in the direction were the air was pushing us, I turned my head into the sun just to see a glimpse of it's reflection in the river down below. I managed to set up my camera within two seconds and shot this before our balloon position to change.</span></div>
