Tired of your every year Christmas decorations? Step outside the box and give the ghost of Christmas past a chance to make your day. This year, try a retro Christmas Theme for you and your family. How to do that? Nothing can be easier. Decide first what meaning do you give to the word “retro”. Do you want to have a Christmas that reminds you of your past holiday by gathering last years presents, recordings, decorations and all that is vintage & retro and has to do with Christmas?

Or maybe you’d prefer a Christmas with the smell of new and the look of retro?

In the first case, it’s easy, you’ll know what to do. Let’s see about the second one.

You need decorations for your house, your tree, your Christmas dinner… and retro presents.

Step 1: Decide on the theme. Disco Colors, Romantic Vintage or many other… If you don’t know what to choose or just don’t know much about retro-vintage style just go online and do some research. You’ll find all you need.

Step 2: Inform all your family and guests about the theme so that they can dress and feel retro. And who know maybe they’ll have some ideas of their own. It’s always nice to involve your family and friends in the preparation of the perfect Christmas. Continue reading →

Twitter. Ups and downs.

I joined Twitter more than a year ago but I first starting using it a few months later… At first I thought “another social network, this should be good” but then I started to like it and hate it at the same time. Why? Well, it has his good and bad parts, like any other but the bad parts seem to increase as we enter in the Romanian Twitter network. I know it’s supposed to be a place were you can write the little things, but in my opinion, the little things to write on twitter stop at a point. Not in here they don’t.

Lets see what I like about it:

- for me, it’s easier to get an idea, reduce it to 140 characters and post it on twitter than to get an idea, make it bigger and post it on my blog

- it’s a fun world to be in sometimes, especially when our two little puggies start tweeting. Pug tweeting is the best !

- this year, for elections, I got the opportunity to see that people do care about Romanian politics; it’s nice seeing that I’m not the only one

… and what I hate:

- I’m sick and tired of people tweeting the weather. ” It’s snowing” yeah, I know, I have windows too, for your surprise. Try saying: it’s going to snow tomorrow…  See the difference?

- when there is a talk show on TV please try not to tweet everything those guys say second after second. If I’m interested, I have my own TV. And ears too. If not, then I don’t really give a shit.

- Twitter fights.  It’s really not my business to see people from my list fighting about stupid things for hours. As they say… get a room, a messenger id, something…

-  stupid arguments about who’s following who. I don’t care about that either. and you shouldn’t tell me who to follow or judge me for that. My Twitter, my business

Oh and, one more thing. From now on I’m going to be blogging in English most of the time. I have little ways to express what I feel for Romania at this point and this is one of them.
