Out of Order

Fell like taking a break. Last weekend was just too exhausting for me. Some people might just all me antisocial, but after 2 consecutive parties, with one new town and a museum between to visit(that was my last weekend, I could call it the sandwich weekend), have that feeling like I just want to stay home, drink tea and watch Hallmark channel with my mum.
First reason: read in my magazine that not sleeping at night is not good for my beautiful face (plus that my grandma confirmed it).
Second reason: my egocentrical side is telling me I'm spending too much time with the same people, and even if they are nice - or at least some of them, I really need a break. Maybe suffocated is the right word for it? No worries, I will soon be the same loving person as always :p.
Yes, I know watching Hallmark with my mum is impossible, I'm in Denmark now, too far away from home, still I've decided to spend a few quiet days... away from this crazy world, away from the people.. well, not that away after all, I mean I will still need to go shopping and to the gym.. :))
Recently (I think it was on Monday morning at work), came to the conclusion that one night of partying per week is enough for me.
But because this time I want to be a rebel and act copletely against any possible expectations from me - I guess I just like saying NO - this weekend there will be no party for me, no staying late any more. I'm only going to meet some AIESECers and interns, go iceskating and then to Tivoli - they made it all beautiful and white especially for Christmas.

Pic: me at the ice bar, a few weeks ago (don't remeber exactly when). Only spent an hour in there, not much to do, after having a drink and taking "facebook" pictures.
ABSOLUT ICEBAR COPENHAGEN (taken from their official website) is the first permanent bar of ice in Denmark located in the central area of Copenhagen. ABSOLUT ICEBAR COPENHAGEN is kept at minus 5 degrees all year round and everything inside is made out of crystal clear ice transported especially from the Torne River in Jukkasjarvi, 200km north of the Arctic Circle in northern Sweden. The walls, bar, tables, and even your own personal glass with a vodka cocktail is made out of the purest ice. ABSOLUT ICEBAR COPENHAGEN is operated in 45 minute time slots and you will be given a designer thermal cape with a hood and gloves to keep you warm during your visit. ABSOLUT ICEBAR COPENHAGEN is permanent and opened all year round. Every six months the whole interior is rebuilt with a completely new design theme.

Busy Days

By popular request, here's my newest post.

I always have problems recalling what I did the previous weekend. I guess this is a good thing, means I'm busy.

Preparing for the Microsoft Christmas Gala party (did all the shopping, couldn't find the red shiny hight healed shoes I was dreaming about, but still happy with what I have). Yessss... it's the season for the the Danish traditional Christmas parties (Julefrokost). Last time was to another one, less formal, typical Danish food, snaps, carols, then a lot of drinking and dancing.. and drinking again.. skol! By the way, amazing that all Danes complain about how bad the snaps is, but still drink it :)) They even have songs about it. No, I remember none (although wasn't drunk!!), I just have problems remembering things in Danish.

Unfortunately, will miss the AIESEC Julefrokost, which will be at the same time with the company one.

Also, preparing for a trip to Arhus, right the next day, early in the morning.. hope I'll be fresh and still shiny. If not, I'll have plenty of time to get more sleep in the train.

About 1st of December in Copenhagen - we had big plans - to meet as many Romanians as possible and celebrate the national day. We ended up spit in small groups, a bit frustrated for not being able to organize the evening better, but still happy we were out... and that we were ice-skating... and the hot cinnamon tea afterwards was delicious. I'm as bad at ice-skating as I am at any other sport, and of course, my stubbornness is also constant. So I'm not giving up! My knees are now green-yellow-blue - hope won't be too visible at the party this Friday. And if yes, who cares? :D

Soon I'll remember more about my past weekends, so that I can share them with you... (already looking at the facebook pictures - the ones where other people tagged me, don't have any of mine, because I'm too lazy to upload them - and making a list of things I did :D)
