Fresh start

Well well well it has been a long time, hasn't it ?

So much has happened since my last post. For one, i'm not in Thailand any more, i'm not a model any more, i'm in UK, grasping a new stage in my life as a fresh business student.

As you all now by now, i worked with Patrick Ribbsaeter, organizing events of all kinds. As time went by things got more complicated, work started building up, fatigue started to strike me, enthusiasm decreased as events just didn't turn up as we both expected. I tried mingleing event organizing with modeling but it was far from possible. As a result of continuous shuddering, i had come to a conclusion. I had to give up being an organizer and focus more on my future as a model, my health and eventually my studies.
As my indecisive personality kept roaming the streets of Bangkok, seeking a rational decision, a waft of fresh air came my way through a message. It was one of my good friends Nathan. I had met him through our parties, as he was one of Patrick's long time friends. He invited me to his house in Phuket for a couple of weeks to relax, get a breath of fresh air and help my mind reach a decision about my future.
I had heard many things of Phuket during my stay in the City of Angels, but what i got to see, was out of this world, it was simply paradise. Complete bliss, nature, wild remote beaches. The 20 days of relaxation and meditation relating my conundrum, were the happiest days of my life. I could then understand why Nathan always carried a broad smile on his face. You would just wake up every single morning with a big smile on your face. Paradise indeed. During my stay i rented a motorbike and just roamed the "S" shaped, narrow, freshly built roads the island had to offer. I got a glimpse of the locals, the food, the beaches, the two-digit million dollar homes, the fantastic sunsets and best of all, of what true friendship really means. You are just overwhelmed with the amount of inner peace and love, a place like this has to offer. I got to see Nathan's amazing cooking skills and finally reached a decision about my future.
How i reached my decision was pretty straight-forward. I only had to listen to one of Nate's wise words: "In order to build yourself a future, you need to study. You need to go to an university and work hard. After you do that, you will have skills. You will get a job with those skills. After 3-4 years those skills turn into experience. Further on, experience turns into instinct. By the time you have instincts, you should earn a lot of money mate. Work hard and you should be fine. Look at me! hahaha" .... well that did it for me. That was the starting point. I had to do something, i needn't disappoint my parents. Went online and after 2 weeks of intensive research and weighing options, i chose a university and applied for it. Came back in Romania to spend some time with my parents and my friends and here i am in the UK a couple of months after that.
I would like to thank Patrick for his kindness and cooperation, dedication and "brotherhood". We were like brothers, inseparable. Thailand has been a wonderful experience, i got the opportunity to meet fantastic people, see amazing places and became a better person in the process. Good luck my brother!
I would also like to thank Nathan with all my heart for the vacation he has given me, the places he took me to, the amazing food and the life-long friendship which has emerged from all of that. Hadn't it been for you mate, i wouldn't have probably been here, studying, building a proper future, making my parents proud. Thank you and can hardly wait for you arrival in the UK. I wish you all the best!
As for me, i met new people, i see new places and work my ass off to be the best of my ability. All of my UK experience, photos and more in my next post.

Wish everyone a fantastic day!
