A Model's Life: News

So as i promised here i am writing. I'm alone in my room, it's quiet, the atmosphere is really nice, good enough for writing.

Experiencing Bangkok for me opened my eyes. I remeber the days i used to stay in my college bench, thinking about my future and taking a general picture of it. Studying to be a manager was not my goal. Unfortunately diplomas can be bought really easily in Romania if you have money and companies care more about diplomas rather than knowledge. Maybe that's why we can't just climb the coconut tree as other countries do. We want to be rich and famous but we don't want to put any effort into it. Travel has given me the opportunity to know myself better, to take life in my own hands. I have had the luck to be taken care of by two wonderful parents. They have given me the right education every single step of the way. They have invested time and money and after this i was on my own. After graduating high school, i was intensely preparing for my college exam. I remember my father saying after so many months of hard work: "Son i don't want you to do this college(which he picked in the first place), i don't want you to live like me, everyday with your nose caught up in papers, having great responsability over every move you make and over every signature your pen draws on papers. I want you to travel, to see the world, live you life, you only have one. I am sure i have raised a son which i can fully trust and know he will be responsabile every step of the way." Of course i was in shock hearing this. After so many months of mathematics and other stuff, he came about with this speech. He gave me some great books that day and so this is how it all started.

I struggled as much as i could getting out of the country. As i previously said, none of the agencies in Romania gave me a chance to live. Now as it seems, the wheel has turned, they found out i was gone and started to contact me.

This beginning path is for me the beginning of a wonderful life, a wonderful career in which i am fully aware i will bump into lots of obstacles i am ready to overcome. People are my thing i noticed. I've been here for two weeks and have 20 new contacts already. It's not so hard being nice. I wonder why everyone in Romania and Europe are so offensive all the time. Everybody is so nice in Asia, especially Thailand. They smile because they want to smile and are pleased to see and meet you, they don't smile for a reason in particular.

Parties are great here. The thing i have to get used to is ending them at 1am. It seems that until new year all clubs will close at 1 am. That doesn't stop thai people from partying though. There are after parties everytime at someone's place. I will post some pictures from one, two actually. One of them is a pool party at our model house and another one at a new friend's house.

What can i say more? I am truly enjoying life and you should too. Take 5 minutes of your time and think about what you really want to do in life. You may be doing something you hate but brings you good money. Raise enough money, continue working there and start you dream business. We should celebrate life at its fullest. I really did not see myself wearing a shirt and going to a 9 to 5 job. Don't get me wrong i love shirt, cool shirt V-ups but would not see myself doing something i don't like every day so i struggled and now i am living my dream.

As much as i know that i cannot bring the full beauty of thailand to you, i will post some pictures so you can have an idea. It's a country under development, but has a unique beauty. Everybody cherishes the king. Even poorly paid citizens can afford supporting their families. Everything is so cheap. Everything from food to clothes to daily needs. Health is good, Bangkok owning the 3rd best hospitalisation system and health management. Thai people love exercises. The gym i'm going to is full all the time and there are lots of elderly people taking over weights or attending yoga and spinning classes. They snack on fresh fruit which is cheap and found on the street, not chocolate and chips like other peoples do. Fast food isn't a big industry here. You see conversions of thai and italian, thai and american cuisines, but thai, japanese and korean cuisines are the most popular. McDonalds and KFCs are pretty empty here not to say Burger King. Good for them.

Any way here are some pictures from Bangkok and some parties.

Cheers my friends.
