About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Current mission? I don't know... yet.
For the moment I re-started my bachelor studies. The same fields (Electronic Engineering), different University (now PoliTO).
So, right now I'm just a 37 years old student. :)

More about me:

I was born in 1977 in a town placed just 80km from URSS = I was an "“Eastern Block kid" until The Revolution (1989).

I often see movies/documentaries about communism and sometimes I'm wondering why... maybe the changing of regime came too quick for me to understand it (in 1989 I was 12 years old), so I have a curiosity to understand what happened in those years.
I also watch a lot of World War 2 documentaries and archive images because I (still) cannot understand how people destroyed such beautiful cities. Even I wasn't born then, I miss those old cities.

I am a bicycle fan and a supporter of the public transport in the urban area. I hope that I will never need to buy a car, just to use it sometimes (renting), in holidays.

I've started doing photographs using some old Russian film model (FED4). I do photographs because I want to capture TIME in them.

If I have to choose now to learn a new language, this will be German (and it will be a second attempt to learn it).

If time traveling was available and I had to choose only one way, I would choose the past.

I will not refuse a trip to Mars.

I listen a lot of classical hip-hop (before 2000) and I wear baggy clothes, but I went also to rock events.

My family is Orthodox, my grandfather was an Orthodox priest. I am Orthodox on paper but I don't practice.

In high-school my Math teacher used to call me "“the clown" and often told me that making people laugh will not "“secure" my life.

The main reason of giving up living in London was the weather. In some month I numbered 14 days in a row without sun - I realised that I'm a Sun person, I cannot live without it. :-)

PHILOSOPHY

Personal philosophy?
FAIR-PLAY (about relationships, about work);
recycle as much as you can;
"modest" doesn't mean "simple"
"poor" doesn't mean dirty or unclean.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I will tell you just one but please don't freak out: I tried to cross illegally the Serbian-Croatian border. At night, by foot. I was trying to get to Italy.
They caught me and I had got one year of interdiction to enter Serbia. Also I spent half a day of prison in a military compound. That was before Romania entered EU.
I was 20 years old, I grew up since then, I am more responsible now.

I wrote this only because this website keep saying "your profile is not completed".
