The other day, together with Denisa, we took an hour off and went to the bottom part of the Botanical Gardens of Iasi. It is really near by. I’ve been staying in this area for some time now, and I’ve never taken advantage of this.
I had to clear my mind to be productive at my work. This walk really helped me.
Here are a few photos we took, using the tripod.









I know that this post comes a little late. There are so many things to do so the personal stuff comes last on the duties list. at least in practice.
So here are a few photos I did at Denisa’s graduation festivity. I am so proud of her. She graduated the Computer Science Faculty, form the A. I. Cuza University of Iasi. The festivity took place in Mihai Eminescu Hall, at Gh. Asachi Technical University of Iasi. Yes, I know that it is very strange that faculty from a university to have their festivities in a hall form another university.








On Wednesday Denisa’s parents celebrated 30 years of marriage. In the same time it was the birthday of Denisa’s mother. So, I was also invited to their celebration party at their house, near (in) Iasi, Romania. We had barbecue, visited the orchard and admired the beautiful sunset. Here is just a glimpse of how it was.
How can we be a real child of God? For a start believe in Him, love Him and act accordingly…
15 He who walks righteously and speaks uprightly,
who despises gain from fraud and from oppression,
who shakes his hand free from the taking of bribes,
who stops his ears from hearing of bloodshed
and shuts his eyes to avoid looking upon evil.16 [Such a man] will dwell on the heights;
his place of defense will be the fortresses of rocks;
his bread will be given him;
water for him will be sure.Isaiah 33:15-16
Dumnezeu a umplut lumea de frumusete si mister, de cascade si de apusuri de soare, de ghetari si de locuri tropicale. Dar Dumnezeu a spus: ‘nu te iubesc doar atat‘. Dumnezeu ti-a dat o minte si capacitatea de a deosebi binele de rau, de a alege binele si viata. Dar Dumnezeu a spus: ‘nu te iubesc doar atat‘. Dumnezeu ti-a dat oameni, invatatori, prieteni, eroi, persoane cu care sa cunosti bucuria intimitatii si a comunitatii. Dar Dumnezeu a spus : ‘nu te iubesc doar atat.’ Apoi Dumnezeu L-a dat pe Isus. El reprezinta incercarea finala a lui Dumnezeu de a ne face sa intelegem cat de mult insemnam pentru El. Isus a ajuns la cruce pentru a plati o datorie pe care noi nu o puteam plati. Si Dumnezeu a spus: ‘acum, in sfarsit, poti intelege ce loc ocupi in inima Mea‘.
As I told you in my previous post – Daniel Florin and Luminita Teodor – Engagement Photo Shooting – I was hired as photographer for Daniel and Luminita’s wedding. Here are some of the photos from the civil marriage.
Here in Romania the people that get married have to have the civil wedding. You go to a special building that belongs to the town hall. There the mayor or the officer of civil marriage tell you about the rights of the man and wife and ask you if you will take care of the other in any conditions. After both say yes, you have to sign in 2 registers, and the the witnesses.
After the civil marriage you can also have a wedding in the church.
But there are also exceptions when you do not even go to have a civil marriage. Usually gypsies have those kind of weddings. But now they go to have the civil marriage because of the money the new weds receive from the government. It is only 200 euros, but they give them, they don’t take.
So, here are some of the photos I took at Daniel Florin and Luminita Teodor civil marriage in Iasi, Romania.

On 27th of may, we – me and Denisa – celebrated the officially 8 months together. For this occasion we went to Cetatuia, which is a hill with a men monastery on top. There is a very nice view of city of Iasi. We had a nice long walk and enjoyed the company of the other one. Here is a slide show with some of the photos we took on this occasion.
Previously I showed you the actual photos. Now here is a slide show with those photos
Officially 8 months together with Denisa from Daniel Condurachi on Vimeo.
Daniel Florin and Luminita are two young people form the church I go to, here in Iasi. One day, as I was going to the youth meeting, in the bus station I meet Daniel and his mom. We chat a bit and in the end he asks me if I could be their wedding photographer. He said that he saw me photographing. In that evening I showed Daniel part of my photos. After that, Daniel and Luminita decided to choose me.
I took it as an opportunity to get to know them better and also to develop my skill. Before their wedding that will be next Saturday, I went to my sister’s (Anda) and my cousin’s (Andi) wedding as a secondary photographer.
Here are some of the photos I took, helped by Denisa’s indications, on their so called “engagement photo shooting”.





Here is a slide show I prepared for them with those photos.

The company I work for send me some documents and contracts. We used Fan Curier Express. On Fan Curier Express website they say that in 24 hours any item gets to any destination in Romania. The envelope was send on last Tuesday 12 of August 2008. Today, a week later, Tuesday 19 of August 2008, I still don’t have the envelope with the important contracts.
All last week I waited for the envelope because that in there are important documents. I had patience until Monday. So yesterday morning I called them. I called the man that I was in charge of my area for Fan Curier. He said that he did not have the envelope and that he does not know of it. So I called the Iasi branch. They said that they do not have it and to call to the man that is in charge of my area – their employee. I told them I talked with him. Then, after a lot of arguing they admitted that they have my envelope since Thursday. I asked them if I could have it in the same day. They said ok.
After 3 hours I call again because I did not get the envelope. The same arguing happened as before. That they do not know about it, to call the man that is in charge with my area and I told them the whole story again. And they said that no, it is impossible. So I raised my voice to that lady and then she looked on the computer to check. She was arguing with me with no proof. Then she said that will try to send it to me the same day. Of coarse I did not get anything yesterday.
I called again today, in the morning. Again I had to say the whole story and she said that she does not have the envelope, that she can not find it so it must be again to the man in charge with my area of the city. I called him. He did not have it. I called back to the Iasi branch. The same lady… I told her that the man does not have it. So she said that she will put some other guy to look in their storage and that I will get it this afternoon. Now it is 3 pm and I still didn’t get my envelope.
Because of Fan Curier Express deplorable services, I loose time, money and maybe even the possibility to sign that contracts with the third parties.
I advice all of you not to use Fan Curier express services never again. I will never use them again. They do not deserve to be called a company.
On our 8 months together anniversary we went to Cetatuia. It is a big hill, where on top of it is a orthodox monastery. We had a good time and took some photos, one of the other. Enjoy what came out…











Isn’t Denisa beautiful?
