"...The Great Union of 1918 was and remains the most sublime event in Romanian history. Its greatness resides in the fact that the fulfilment of the national unity is not the work of any politician, government or party; it is the historic deed of the whole Romanian nation, accomplished out of a powerful longing coming from the vivid awareness of the unity of the people and channelled by the political leaders for it to be led towards its aim with a remarkable political intelligence. [...]

The Great Union was not the result of Romania participating in the war. Neither the supporters of the Entente, nor those of the Central Powers did take into account the Russian revolution or the disintegration of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy. Their reasoning followed the traditional formula of the power relations between states: the victory of the Entente would bring to us Bucovina, Transylvania and the Banat, while the victory of the Central Powers would bring Bessarabia; one victory excluded the other so that no one could see how all these provinces could join the borders of the Old Kingdom simultaneously. [...]

It was not a military victory that laid the foundation of Great Romania, but the will of the Romanian nation to create for itself the territorial and institutional framework that is the national state. [...]

A historic necessity - the nation has to live within a national state - proved to be more powerful than any government or party, guilty of selfishness or incompetence and, putting the nation into motion, gave it that huge drive to overcome all the adversities and make its dream come true: the national state.

Never again... the same

I'm thinking this.... Or better said I'm knowing this: this is changeing me! Fact! Stop. The avalanche of people that I've met since I'm here is overwhelming! But that's the point. It's great! I love meeting new and interesting people, I love getting to know true and intelligent persons, like the circle I've created here. We are students from all over the world, meeting in this city just to evolve. We are here to experience, to get to know our own selfes, to experiment, to have fun, to explore,to get used to the big city, and others, but not least to study :). Yep, college means studying, and I promise that after the freshman's bal I'll start too.

Over and out!

Truda - The 5 o'clock news

Truda is a Romanian band, pretty hardcore, very underground, extremely cluj-eni :D.
The 5 o'clock are the above-ground hardcore-est news in Romania. Only rapes, car crashes and
murders.
Truda decides to take them together. Awesome clip in my opinion. Enjoy :)

The Self Measuring Condom

If you ever wanted to know how you measure up in the bedroom checkout the, Condometric, it kind of does what you’d expect. Roll on, read the measurement then jump into bed (or turn the lights out and sneak under the covers).

More info and pictures over on the Condometric.

A new day shines on....

Yep, I've been for a week now in Cluj. Basically it's great. I'm staying in a dorm, and by huge luck I have great roommates, it my group @ school I've met some great guys and girls, so we hang out a lot, and by adding the friends I already had here in cluj, and the ones I came with, things look really pink :).
School is pretty shitty until now cause I have two mathematics and about six computer science classes, and I hate math since I was in junior high, so during the math classes I can barely fight to stay awake.

Soon I'll be back with more reviews and stuff so don't forget to keep coming cause I'll keep posting.

The first day of the rest of my life...

Yep, tomorrow I'll leave Vatra Dornei, my home for 19 years. It's a great place to live, even though it get's sometimes a little boring and a little stuffy, and I'll miss it, but I'll still come back here every few weeks. I can't stop thinking that except a few vacations in the next few years I'll never live here again. But the good part is that from tomorrow I'll start my college life in Cluj-Napoca, and I've got very high hopes for that. A good friend told me that I'll feel reborn in the first days... I hope he is right.

So for the last time as a "dornean",

Over and out....

Plot quoted from IMDb:

Set in post-apocalyptic 2018, John Connor is the man fated to lead the human resistance against Skynet and its army of Terminators. But the future Connor was raised to believe in is altered in part by the appearance of Marcus Wright, a stranger whose last memory is of being on death row. Connor must decide whether Marcus has been sent from the future, or rescued from the past. As Skynet prepares its final onslaught, Connor and Marcus both embark on an odyssey that takes them into the heart of Skynet’s operations, where they uncover the terrible secret behind the possible annihilation of mankind.
