Am ramas singura in camera mea din Tenerife. Radu si Vlad au coborat la piscina. Aveam nevoie de un moment al meu, in care sa va scriu in liniste.
EN: I am alone in my room in Tenerife. Radu and Vlad are at the pool. I needed a moment just for myself, so I could write you in peace and quiet.
Pe 7 august se desfasoara un eveniment organizat de cei de la The Power of Storytelling si Visual Playground: How to design your creative life. Invitata lor este femeia din spatele celui mai longeviv podcast despre industrii creative (Design Matters), Debbie Millman, a carei poveste de viata mi s-a parut incredibil de inspirationala. Este probabil una dintre putinele povesti despre “visul american” din epoca contemporana: o copilarie dificila, o familie instabila si o dorinta arzatoare de a se face remarcata in branding, un domeniu in care se intra foarte greu. Dar iata ca acum, 30 de ani mai tarziu, succesul pentru care a muncit si a luptat atat de mult este lectia pe care vine sa ne-o impartaseasca pentru a ne motiva sa nu ne dam niciodata batuti, oricat de grele par lucrurile. Iar cu aceasta ocazie va invit si la CONCURS.
Later edit: Am facut extragerea si castigatoarea este “Mamica autentica”. Felicitari!
EN: On August 7th, the people behind the Power of Storytelling and Visual Playground are hosting an event: How to design your creative life. Their guest is the woman responsible for the most long living podcast on creative industries (Design Matters), Debbie Millman, whose life story I found incredibly inspirational. It’s probably one of the few stories about “the American dream” from the contemporary era: a difficult childhood, an unstable family and a burning desire to leave a mark in the branding industry, an area which is really tough to get into. But here we are, 30 years later, and the success she has worked and fought for so hard is the lesson she comes to share with us in order to motivate us never to give up, no matter how things appear to be. And on this note I invite you to a CONTEST:
Inainte de a dezbate acest subiect impreuna, va rog sa imi raspundeti la urmatoarea intrebare:

EN: Before we discuss this topic together, please answer the following question: Do you think you are beautiful? Yes or No?
Cred ca deja toata lumea stie ca unul dintre cele mai cool si clasice branduri de jeans este Levi’s, care in general nu prea are nevoie de prezentari sau introduceri. Deci, care e tinuta voastra favorita?
EN: I think everyone already knows that one of the coolest and classic jeans brands is Levi’s, which doesn’t really need any special introductions.
Gata! Ne pregatim de vacanta. Maine avem primul zbor ….
EN: We’re ready for our vacation. Our first flight is tomorrow…
Pentru ca deja stiti ca Vlad este in vacanta, mi-am luat niste timp si am incercat sa pun cap la cap un program cat mai interesant si variat pentru el, asa cum va povesteam ca am in plan intr-o postare trecuta. Am mers pe la muzee – partial pentru ca e distractiv pentru el, insa, recunosc, partial pentru ca era o activitate ideala pentru o zi caniculara, cand nu era o idee buna sa stai afara. Dar azi va recomand si altfel de locuri interesante de vizitat cu copilul, plus cateva jocuri care i-au facut deja Perfectului meu vacanta mai interesanta.
EN: You already know Vlad is on vacation, so I took some time to put together an interesting and diverse schedule for him, like I already told you I intend to in a previous post. We went to museums- because it’s fun for him, but also because it’s an ideal activity on a hot day, when being outside isn’t a good idea. But today I recommend some different places to visit with your child, plus a few games which already made my Perfect One’s vacation more interesting.
Azi-noapte Vlad a avut din nou night terror. A fost horror. Noi ne-am simtit iar neputinciosi si am fost tare amarati, pana de dimineata cand Vlad s-a trezit din somn zicandu-ne: “Am dormit bine”. Ca sa vezi…. Asa ca azi m-am agatat de orice motiv care sa imi aduca din nou o stare de bine. Am cautat fotografii pentru o noua postare si am ajuns la concluzia ca acest lila e destul de …ZEN.
EN: Last night Vlad had a night terror again. It was horrible. Yet again we felt useless and were very upset, until morning when Vlad woke up saying: “I had a good night’s sleep.” Ironic… So today I tried finding every possible reason which might make me feel good again. I looked through some pictures for a new post and I have come to the conclusion that this lilac color is pretty… ZEN.
