AIESEC International experience in couple words

2010-12-24T18:10:00.000+02:00

It has been a story of discovery and learning.

It has been a discovery of new cultures.

Having lunches with Colombian, dinners with Nigerian, night tee talks with Australian, shisha with Mexican, playing pinc-pong with Hungarians, working with Norwegian and rediscovering Russians. Getting to know Indonesian, feeling so familiar with Romanian, understanding American.

Having random and miningful talks with Ugandan, getting drank with Chinese and playing with Portuguese, Missing Canadian, having fun with Indians and feeling so proud of being Ukrainian.

It has been discovery of new countries.

Relaxing Netherlands, Incredible India, Special Belgium, Sunny France, powerful Germany, Big China, Beautiful Hungary, Sweden fairy tail and different Ukraine.

It has been discovery of new feelings.

Fulfillment from small victories, excitement from surprises, happiness of seeing sun and colors, anger of never having enough time to do things, disappointment with failers and persistence in getting things done.

It has been learning of myself, my values and my path.

It has been life of thousand peaces: productive meetings, long discussions, arguments, laughing, sleepless nights, talks, long flights, challanges,rainbow, first snow, colors, team buildings, rendom jokes, big concepts, small victories, tears of missing someone, tears of feeling proud, warm, positive, chellanging, funny, different people, people united to fulfill the promise and unleash the future.

AIESEC International is a special experience, which cannot be explained it can be only lived...

Incredible India: Except and understand

2010-09-08T16:49:00.000+03:00

I've just finished my first trip to the land of richest and one of the oldest history and traditions, land of diversity, happiness and colors, land of being rich having nothing and being poor having everything, -

INCREDIBLE INDIA.

Except and Understand: if you want to enjoy this country, you need to spend time to learn their culture and except the way it is, so different from what you could imagine.

I love it the way it is:
I like the food, Dal, Paneer with butter Naan and all those crazy spaces which make it so delicious and special.
I like my Indian friends driving through Delhi at night on full speed of the car, listening to Punjabi radio and singing songs in Hindi
I like to have conversations till the morning, just because you have so much in common
I like watching Indian wedding and compare it to Ukrainian traditions (surprise we have more in common you could ever imagine)
I like hospitality of Indian families and I understand why people behave they way they do
I like the holly spirit of Taj Mahal and craziness of old Delhi
I like Sari and Kurta suits

See you soon, India
Next destination Mumbai in a month.

gym assignment, hmm sounds not like me

2010-07-12T23:52:00.002+03:00

So, apart from all crazy things I've done last week, about which I'll write soon with pictures.
Today, I subscribed to the gym, super awesome and super expensive, brand which is known in all Europe David Lloyd - http://www.davidlloyd.nl/en/home
Coming there feels really good, all entire atmosphere seems supporting to get there every day, so let me see :)

my trip to Den Haag

2010-06-30T16:07:00.000+03:00

Last Sunday I spend visiting the most amazing town in all Netherlands, at least from what I've seen so far, - Den Haag.

This strange combination of narrow streets, restaurants everywhere, lots of people sitting in summer terraces, beer, wine, feeling of summer, sea, beach and many many tourists.

After visiting this town, I really understand why Queen is living there, its kind of "Queen place".

Just look at pictures (mine will be uploaded soon):

During this day, I manage to spend some hours at the beach, read a book and participate in some rock festival. I' must say they know how to make festivals, people getting crazy there, all from 3 years old to 60 years old grannies, who barely can walk. At the same time, the mass and % of garbage everywhere, made me feel proud, in Ukraine at any festival I have never seen so big mass, even after Sheshory, which took 1 week.

Keep on discovering Europe, next week going for Belgium for planning week, to the smallest town in Europe.

New books to read

2010-06-28T11:33:00.000+03:00

Yesterday, spend an amazing day in Den Haag city, however it will be other story. During my little trip I bought 2 books, which I really hope to read this month.

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (original title in Swedish: Män som hatar kvinnor – "Men Who Hate Women") is an award-winning crime novel by the late Swedish author and journalist Stieg Larsson, the first in his "Millennium Trilogy."

At his death in November 2004 he left three unpublished novels that made up the trilogy. It became a posthumous best-seller in several European countries

This novel supplies a genealogical table for keeping track of the numerous members of the five generation Vanger family who are under investigation. "An epic tale of serial murder and corporate trickery spanning several continents, the novel takes in complicated international financial fraud and the buried evil past of a wealthy Swedish industrial family. Through its main character, it also references classic forebears of the crime thriller genre while its style mixes aspects of the sub-genres.

Eat, Pray, Love: One Woman's Search for Everything Across Italy, India and Indonesia is a 2006 memoir by American author and memoirist Elizabeth Gilbert. The memoir chronicles the author's trip around the world after her divorce, and what she discovered during her travels. As of February 2010, the book had remained on the New York Times Best Seller list for 158 weeks.

At 32 years old, Gilbert was educated, had a home and a husband, and a successful career as a writer. However, she was unhappy in her marriage and often spent the night crying on her bathroom floor. She separated from her husband and initiated a divorce, which her husband contested. She entered into a relationship with another man, but this relationship did not work out either. While writing an article on yoga vacations in India, she met a seventh-generation medicine man who told her she would come back and study with him. After finalizing her difficult divorce, she spent the next year traveling around the world. She spent four months in Italy, eating and enjoying life (Eat). She spent four months in India, finding her spirituality (Pray). She ended the year in Bali, Indonesia, looking for "balance" of the two and found love (Love

Cinema and movies

2010-06-26T15:44:00.002+03:00

This week Rotterdam hosts Arabic movie festival, which I got a chance to visit today. Amazing atmosphere, cozy, and feels like at home in the cinema called “Cinarama”. The movie I got a chance to see, called “Cinecitta” or simply 7 by Ibrahim Latif, Tunisia.

Its really sincere comedy about 3 guys who wanted to make movie for the festival but didn’t get a grand, so they found other way how to get money, or simply to steel it from the bank.

Suddenly I remembered, all those great moments I’ve lived in Tunisia this February. Real Medina, small cafes, shi-sha and real mint tea, since that time everywhere I go I order mint tea, however I still didn’t find so good taste, as in Tunisia, those people really know how to make it special.

The other movie, I’ve got a chance to see last Saturday, “Mao’s Last dancer”, made me willing to visit China some days, at least to see how much this country has changed since Mao time. On the back of the movie shows quite good emotions, feelings and real life of Chinese people with all their fears, happiness, every day problems and all this combine with the main line of the movie of a guy who became professional ballet dancer, his love to dance, his love to parents and his love to American girl. It’s Just special, recommend to watch.

In Rotterdam, there are couple cinema places, one has discount if you buy a card for 1 month, it cost just 20 euro (price for 1 ticket 8,5 euro) and you can go as many times as you want, however movies there totally “popsa” stile, which I like but not more then couple per month. At the same time there is other cinema, which usually shows not that popular movies, but with the deep sense and big picture, but they don’t have any discount, trying to figure out how find something between.

Happy watching movies you like

and... my super and the best AIESEC Experience Team

Canoeing on Saturday

2010-06-07T19:51:00.001+03:00

So, this weekend I did canoeing, with my new team, which was fun from the beginning of the story.

Firstly we got there after an epic party last night, with some of us, for example me, took to seriously, so I just back home at 6 a.m. and had to be ready at 10 in the morning, which obviously didn't happen, and Hugo spend a couple of minutes near my door, trying to wake me up.

The next challenge, was actually to survive to the place of interaction, with massive hangover.

And the last one, he he, to pick the "best" partner for this activity, which I also fail to make strategically, actually not me, as we were randomly picking up the names , and I got to one canoe with Camilo, which afterwords we realized it was a big mistake, as we came last one to the point, and had a lot of fun during the way for all people who were passing by :)

Thank's God, on the way back we changed the partners :) so I happily manage to get back almost the first one.

General feelings, its an amazing activity, we manage to pass 10 km, and i really thought I wouldn't be able to move my hands afterwords, but everything is really ok. Actually you can learn at least about one person in your team, having talks in the middle of the river for 1,5 hour.

I'm really looking for next weekend, and new cool things we going to make together:)

1st week of transition

2010-06-03T21:08:00.000+03:00

We've went through AIESEC history session, which basically we had to make for our self: 7 hours, to read, explore and design a session for new members on AIESEC history, with calls to former PAIs, tons of docs, publications, pictures, ppts and videos.

and the output, more then great, 1 h session, with 6 games and lots of lough in the office, looking at current AI team passionately trying to win from each other.

This day brought a lot of fun in the office and 1st successfully executed task as a team, I'm getting more and more exited.

One more thing, today was the first time we set in our sub teams for 10 minutes to have a discussion, finally I saw those 4 amazing people, I'm going to work with near me, and thoughts came to my mind, Its must be an amazing year, having those guys around, and It will be in fact challenging year to lead, manage, execute, learn, perform and achieve

Where do you get your energy?

2010-05-29T13:40:00.000+03:00

I get it from people. Talks, meetings, chats, observations. I just love people, but what even more, I like making people smile, then you feel proud of making someones life happier :)

Dear friends, Have an awesome weekend!

matching people talents with right positions?

2010-05-26T17:48:00.000+03:00

Taking a few leadership experiences, I've manage couple selection processes trying to get people where they will be performing the best, so at the end of the day, you know how it works, you have some vision of the team, and then look at people who has applied, choose, mix, marge, divide etc.

But I have never expected to be part of such a process from the other side, being recruited for position you were not applying. I must say it's really fun, and recently I was thinking why you actually tend to choose wrong position/role for yourself? as usually there are couple reasons why you choose wrong position for yourself:

1) lack of understanding of the role

2) you don't find role attractive enough (JD, money, benefits, experience etc)

3) you underestimate your qualities and abilities (basically you don't feel you can even dream about such a role), and I think the last one is the worth, as if there will be no smart recruitment process you may forever stuck into lover level job offers.
This is conclusion which I made generally looking at different people and recruitment processes in different organizations.

now about my case, I was selected as a Vise President Operations, sitting on the transition you get to know more and more about your role in the team and generally how its reflect to external companies roles.

Couple interesting facts I got to know, usually my role is called COO: Chief Operating Officer and there are couple possible models which define JD of COO:

1) the COO oversees all operational an administrative functions

2) The COO oversees all programs

3) The COO oversees all internal functions

So the case of my position, is 2nd model, which is in contrast with 1st one doesn't have administrative part. Basically looking at how AIESEC operates, addressing main challenges and risks it may face, making our product more competitive in the market, managing key partnerships and a huge part of the time managing a team responsible for each stage of AIESEC experience.

And here is what I have found out:
"Carrying out this great scope of responsibilities tends to require a very broad skills set. It starts with the basics: great general management, project management, analytical skills. Then there is strategic planning and thinking, managing other to outcomes, guiding people so they take more than they think they can and are successful at reaching their objectives, and being persuasive."
and now goes a question, if I don't have all of those set of qualities, can I still be high performer on my role? and do I really need to be good at all those skills or its more about balance? and can I develop those skills in short or long run? if yes, what should I do?

So, if anyone knows something on this, would be great to rad your comments :0

First days in new "home"

2010-05-23T22:41:00.000+03:00

Today is exactly 1 week seance I've moved to Rotterdam. Which gave an opportunity basically to see all the most important things here or at least almost all
So, here is my observations and filings:
1. This week there were no rain at all, even people told me to be prepared for rain every day, I'm still lucky not to see it on my first week.
2. I manage to visit 2 night clubs, and spend my entire salary I used to receive in Ukraine for 1 night, but yehh the party was just awesome.
3. I think I manage to eat in 10 or so cafes, having, pizza, pasta, tai food, traditional food, and many many more, so I'm already keen on my coolest places, where I want to come back, and those I really don't like at all.

As a normal foreigner here, I got surprised by # of bicycles this city has, that's impressive, but what is more important they really don't care how they look, until it has two wheels and can move you. Some of them so old, that My mother would tell me if see me on one of those, - you are not homeless to use it. But here is really doesn't matter, and next weekend I really plan to get one :)

Second big surprise, they have a market, by market I really understand this massive place where you can get food from farmers (in case of Ukraine from old babushkas), noisy, crowded, and really alive. So, every Saturday, you can find it in Rotterdam. i've been there yesterday, and its worth doing, you can bay massive verity of fruits and vegetables, so cheep (a lot of those cheaper then in Ukraine).

Today, I manage to see Ersamus bridge (this white one), huge park, take a bout trip and visit street with all flags :).
Keep on discovering Rotterdam.

Couple words about couple things

2010-05-21T10:34:00.000+03:00

Rotterdam..
Interesting, if someone will want to read my blog in 20 years, will they get a logic what a hell I'm doing here (Rotterdam)? But this is not the topic of this up-date.
Shortly about important:

I started my trip on 14th of May, and it was quite long: I've stacked in Kiev airport for couple hours because of delay of my flight. Traveled to Hungary, and suppose to have around 2 h before my 2nd flight to Poland, however as my 1st flight delayed, the 2nd was waiting only for me, can you imagine me entering into the plain and looking at eyes of all those people? I arrived to Warsaw early evening and spend in the airport entire night (13 h), in the morning I suppose to take a flight to Gdansk, and yehh they found my luggage was 2,5 kg bigger than it's allowed, so I was re packing in front of line of people waiting to take a tickets.
But that was not the final adventure, in Gdansk (small polish city) they even didn't know my flight Gdansk - Berlin exist :) So it took me a while to prove that I'm on this flight and its actually going in 2 hours from this airport. Finally I got to Berlin. Thanks to Nastya Bilous, who took care of me.
I spend hm around 50h in Berlin, which allowed me to see couple of things and understand, - I want to see this city once again.

And then I suppose to take a train to Rotterdam, but no one told me I have to make 3 connections in the middle of nowhere in Germany and Netherlands.
The fanny thing about german trains ,they come quickly and they leave even quicker, so you have from 1 to 5 min to jump into the train and make sure you do it correctly, as usually there are 2 trains connected and there are special calculation system, which sure I didn't know :)

I'm here almost for a week, and I really enjoy, working all day and parting all night, I guess weekend I'll spend in a bad, just eating and sleeping.

I have mixture of feelings, which I don't know how to express - excitement, curiosity, surprise,just feeling positively strange about my life and where it brought me.

Boundaries in our life's

2010-03-25T23:20:00.000+02:00

Have you asked your self what is your boundary?

I was born in a village of around 300 people, I was going to school situated at the really end of the village, where amazing view of the river, fields and forest could be observed. I thought the boundary is there, where the forest and river ends. Then I got to learn in the school that rivers connects to bigger rivers, those to seas... I dreamed to see the sea, to find the boundary of the world, once I saw but people told me, there is another country on that side of the sea, so the boundary is there?
being a child I was searching the boundary of our planet... Growing up I started to search the boundary of my possibilities, starting new and new things, learning every day something new, I still keep in doing this.

And yes, I do have just one wish for my self, never find a boundary for my growth!!

the best...

2010-03-24T22:59:00.011+02:00

Through all my AIESEC experience I've been experiencing, something what I could name as "the best". In a while, having five years of the experience, I'm getting more and more "the best" things into my memory book.
There are some events, people, decisions, actions, achievements, which I truly may name as those memorable, good to remember, good to keep and get inspiration from.

2010 is definitely the year for "BEST" moments when dreams come true.

January :
The best rest in hometown full of love and joy, with someone I really like )
The best horse ride lessons and lovely horses farm
The best new MC flat MCs ever were living with amazing view to the river and bridge

February:
The best experience of selection, reflection and self understanding
The best position I could ever dream about
the best cafe in Sidi Bou Said, Tunisia

March:
The best faci experience
The best faci team
The best emotions and people around

To be continued ........

after long time

2009-10-03T23:35:00.003+03:00

hello dear dairy :)
yes, I haven't been posting here long. And also I have started to share my professional experience, I get in new web site http://tetyanamykhailiuk.weebly.com/ - its not developed and up-dated but it started to work.

Fanny thing, when you have too many emotions you are out of words to share it with other people. I could write my thoughts about my graduation, Malaysia trip, my experience in AIESEC, however i don't as its really strong feelings I get all the time. And all the time I promise to myself to wait couple days and post something afterwords, but then those important things become suddenly not interesting or not important anymore. I think you feel the same :)

so, If you miss my up-dates, follow me on twitter tetyana_mkhl or http://tetyanamykhailiuk.weebly.com/.

2009-08-16T01:44:00.002+03:00

This time I don't want to start with the words, - its has been long time...
It seams like I'm more overloaded or just time for blogging has passed for me, will see what will happen next.
Actually why I'm writing this evening its just to make some up-date of my life so far.
In 12 hours I'm starting my trip to Malaysia for International congress 2009, probably last congress as a AIESECer, am I exited? Frankly speaking no, I'm confident, after 2 congress I'm totally sure what I can expect and what not. I'm confident in my mood on the conference as I'm going to see my old friends,have chats on the sessions, in the evening, talks with burning discussions and lots of fun.
hmm, I liked this week, it has been really productive and positive, I had 2 meetings, which for sure challenged me to think up new views and discover new possibilities.
Hmm hope to write more often here as I have a lot of emotions to share.

weekend

2009-06-28T18:01:00.002+03:00

Yehh, it has been long time since I’ve written last post here, lots of things happened, but I hope I can manage to ketch up with that in next week.

Today I want to share with amazing experience I’ve got this weekend.

Experience of meeting new people, experience of looking at people growth, experience of total happiness and satisfaction from observations, experience of meaningful talks and long night conversations - experience of Summer LCC in my dear LC Franik.

I was not sure should I agree as chairing is definitely not my top strength in AIESEC. Then I remind words of one my friend, about challenges and doing things that scares you every day.

It was really right choice; I spend amazing, relaxing weekends with lots of new people, new friends in family atmosphere.

I was speaking with lots of people during this conference, they are young, they are building their AIESEC, and I’m so happy about their experience. Some of them made me think about my AIESEC experience, some challenged me with the questions, some were so open then it seams we new each other already for years, and all those people are part of organization I was leading.

Thank you dear new friends for your thoughts, ideas, smiles, jokes, eyes, behavior, I’ll remember this weekend for long time.

Thank you EB 07-08, for being there and small re union we had yesterday :))

Thank you EB 09-10, and good luck in your term!!!!

NGO sector development in Ukraine

2009-05-05T00:48:00.004+03:00

“I am a positive person living my life to the fullest and making an impact on the world around at the same time. I love what I do and I am always looking for more to come, live and experience.

I’m working in Educational spare, everyday helping people to discover, learn, experience and take more out of education they get.

Through my leadership skills I’ve gained being active member of AIESEC, I’ve found NGO for children in my local and successfully leading its operations toward happy childhood for everybody“.

This is my description of the future I wrote in my application half year ago. on Sunday I had "aha" moment or just a discovery of what it is really for me and what I want to do. It did not change which mean I'm more and more confident on what I want to get at the end.

The phenomena of NGO sector in Ukraine is strange I would say, we have couple strong NGOs - which usually not Ukrainians and 2 more or less stable Ukrainian (Plast and Forum Molodyh Lideriv (who actually changed their name already)) all rest or really small, existing on their local or founded just for hidden profit from corporate sector (and you really find a lot of them).
On Sunday I went to the biggest book market in Kyiv and I think in whole Ukraine to buy some books for my diploma. I was surprised than I couldn't find anything connected to NGO management, ehh 1 book which is legality of NGO - but even it, was on Russian, - how come when the low is on Ukrainian.

That made me think that having so much problem which goverment cannot solve by them saelf can be put on NGO sector, - but the thing which is needed is development and structure approach towards it. When I came back home I wrote couple thoughts what can be done, and it seams really posible, and even more I would like to make it happen.

Starting something new is a big thing :)

People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime.

2009-04-30T09:49:00.001+03:00

When you know which one it is, you will know what to do for that person.
When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed.
They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually.
They may seem like a Godsend and they are.
They are there for the reason you need them to be.
Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end.
Sometimes they die.
Sometimes they walk away.
Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand.
What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done.
The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on.

Some people come into your life for a SEASON, because your turn has come to share, grow or learn.
They bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh.
They may teach you something you have never done.
They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy.
Believe it, it is real. But only for a season.

LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons, things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation.
Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life.
It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.

We all have different types of friends as well. We have friends that are married, single, have kids, younger than us, older than us, family that we consider friends, and the list goes on and on. But each individual person in our life has a special place in our heart that no other can touch. There are those friends you can confide your deepest darkest secrets to and know they won't breath a word to a soul. And there are friends that you tell just enough information to keep them content. There are friends who are a mentor in times when we need them, and there are friends we need to mentor because we have been in there situation and know their scenario is like. Been there, done that ~ we've all used that line at some point in time. And my philosophy is if I can help one person from using the experiences in life I have been through, then it was worth it. It was worth whatever I had to overcome to give advice to another, or to save another from going through trials in life.

You probably have read this article a lot of time, or at least have a time to read it now. I still not completely sure which people come to my Life for what but there is for sure logic in it.

Thank you, for teaching, listening, making me laugh, enjoying with me and crying, I value your being part of my life doesn't matter for how long and with which purpose.

SprinCo 2009

2009-04-28T10:47:00.001+03:00

Yesterday, I had probably to many emotions to write everything I want. Today, even the working day has started I cannot stop my self to express my feelings and thoughts about last week.
I was always wandering what will be my best working conference, I got one when I was delegate, and was hoping to experience something like this with any working conference, and I did, last week, sprinCo was and amazing experience, full of fun, emotions, smart decisions, night talks, parties, team experience, meeting new friends, discovering people, yehh a lot to say, a lot to remember :)
There were couple parts which made my conference so great XP, first is my new MC Team, - they are committed and they have a passion to lead this country. Really different, sometimes too fluffy, but can be serious and so productive when is needed, + they ave outstanding sense of Humor, it seams I'll be laughing a lot during this year. I must say all of them surprised me with level of their preparation and openness, it was a big please to work with my core team and deliver first conference.
Second this is NST team, unfortunately I didn't get chance to speak with them a lot, but yes they did great job, especially OGX, without any support from MC VP, I'm proud!!! TMU, yehh new year ad new achievement I'm sure we will do it :)) Thank you TMU corner
Then goes, chair of this conference, - thank you Patryk, for all those conversations, I'm already missing them really much, I got big energy out of them, and your sense of humor, he -he let's go to eat today in Asia :)) it as great, now I understand truly what does it mean right people at right time, hope to meet you this year somewhere :)))))

destroyed? lost? tired?

2009-04-14T23:20:00.001+03:00

Right now, I'm somewhere in the middle of those words, experiencing the most intensive and strong aspects of my life. I don't like a lot of things happening around me I don't know if its good or bad its just like it is and I'm learning to deal with that. I have a lot of work, more then human being should have, working without weekends and having 0 in my pocket :)) but i do enjoy. Thing which I don't like when people so easily want to teach me something but at the same time do not follow what they promise, or argue all the time that's not their business, hmm but why?? Is it so hard to say to fill in couple shits of paper witch will save me couple hours? or to call to 3 people in 1 week, but just do it now?? I can probably write a lot of Qs which I will not find the answer, as all of us are human being.

I was walking today, Kyiv actualy beatifull city, nice, green, that made me happy and a bit rest after 1 tuff week.
I need Easter, not that 1 day which I can offer to myself but really Easter......

One Sunday day

2009-03-29T22:22:00.003+03:00

Today was a good day!
I woke up quite late, the sun was shining so brightly in the room , that it was hard to sleep more. I took good Lipton tea, checked the mail boxes and went to take a shaver.
After words had some breakfast and realize that Ukraine as other 100 countries changed the time, so it was already mid day. I spend couple of hours for me, making manicure/pedicure etc, while doing those procedures I was thinking, actually it was really random thoughts, but I've understood something really important from that.
I've realized that I'm free, thing which was keeping me all the time stressed is almost over, - this is about my studying. My university is almost over, just to write diploma work, - on the topic I like and on the bases of organization I'm so passionate about - AIESEC. So, the end, On Friday I've passed last exam... and.. hmm I got strange feeling that I'll miss those crazy days of studying even i cannot tell it was so much impact full on me. It just about the atmosphere of being student, of having this crazy, relax life. In couple month I'll become graduate, which means I am really smart :)) But actually am I? I know a lot of things, a lot of subjects, but mostly I've learned this from books or AIESEC seminars, not from university teachers. So probably my diploma is not so important to me as my parents think it is. Those thoughts and couple other made me realize that I would like to study once again but in some European University or American, who knows maybe its my next step after AIESEC.
Other conclusion which made me happy about today, I again have more time for myself. I've started my running exercises couple days ago, so today I was able to run a bit more then previous time and still was not dieing, which is really good. If I can keep promises to myself, I'm going to do those exercises every day at least for next 2 weeks. Will see..
The 3rd thing, I've started to read a book "The future of Competition" by C.K. Prahalad, It's really interesting and cheap so I would recommend you to read this book, it gives even more understanding of why AIESEC is really cool organization, ans we should be proud to be part of it. But all conclusions from it in next posts.

Завжди як не в людей )))

2009-03-12T00:07:00.002+02:00

Завжди як не в людей, - так би сказала моя мама, якби знала всю правду мого тяжкого навчання.
Для тих, хто не в курсі, так, я вчуся на стаціонарі в Франику, і так я там не буваю.. вірніше не бувала, і тепер в мене багато проблем через то (((
Зараз в мене активні дні бігання за викладачами, і намагання здати хоч щось, щоб мати заліки і екзамени. Наприклад, один екзамен я здавала у викладачки дома, бо їй не хотілося йти в університет, а чо, добре так було, якщо ще й врахувати факт, що виявляється я знаю її дочку.. хе хе ))А ще один мій екзамен здавала, Христя Шкляр, - поки я була в Італії, хороший такий викладач з охорони праці, трохи сліпий, і не помітив, що христя то хіба четвертина мене.
Вчора в мене знову був новий досвід, якто кажуть вік живи - вік учись. Я здавала залік в поїзді. І він мені нагадав пост 2007 року А Вам Слабо! я просто вчора знову здавала право, щось в мене з цією кафедрою без пригод не виходить.
Так от, в мене викладач довго не хотів приймати залік, ну аж поки час перездас не пройшов, і йому таки позвонив декан, що пора б мене вислухати.
Я для цього спеціально приїхала з Кива, але біда одна, він забув мобільний дома ,тому яф його так і не знайшла, а коли знайшла інший його номер ,то він уже додому їхав (((.
ПРоте, випадково у телефонній розмові виявилося, що ми обоє їдемо одним поїздом до Києва. От і вирішили ми використовувати час ефективно. Залік в купе №4, вагон 10 :))
Прийшла написала, відповіла на питання... ну хоча відповідала я мало, бо для того треба було б ще щось знати. Потім ми ще сиділи години три говорили про життя )) і йому не скучно було їхати і в мене залік є :)))
Тепер би ще 2 здати до пятниці без моєї присутності і було б просто фантастично)))

sentimental ?? I have what to remember

2009-02-08T22:22:00.002+02:00

Я маю, що згадати... Три роки в рідному локальному комітеті, не пройшли даремно, було багато сліз і розчарувань, надій і приємних моментів, а сміху, його було найбільше ))Отак жила собі, і ніколи не уявляла, що буду читати про новини локального комітету в газеті.
Сьогодні вийшов у світ новий номер, його президент, вислав чемно на аламні войс, відкрила я цей чудернацько кольоровий документ, і так мені добре стало, так приємно читати, що в них хороші стажери, що людей багато, і проекти є. А ще приємно було згадувати ,як ми (мій борд) писали різні мотиваційні листи, перед виборами нової виконавчої ради, і таки 5 людей тоді купилися ))
Люблю свій ЛС Франик )))...

2009-01-28T02:03:00.005+02:00

About people that matter …
How often you say to people that really matter honest things? How often you say thank you to them? And how often you say I love you? - , because you are my friend or my coach or simply random guy I care so much.
And the biggest paradox is when you have time for it something stops you, you cannot find the power insight to say, to show. You feel that there will better time but actually there will never be, as that was perfect point of time that you already missed…
Why I’m writing it?
Hmmm it took me life to tell to my grandma how much I love her, and I would tell her, but life stopped…
It took me couple years to ask to person I really believe, about his mistakes to avoids them by myself… and finally I did and that made my day the best in last month, so why I didn’t do it before?
It took me a while to understand that there are some people that really care about me… and today I said: “ I love you, caz you my friend, and I’m thankful I have you in my life “ but It was only 1 of those close people I have in my life.
So about people in my life
I have good teachers, in all sense of this word, and I really learn a lot from them, sometimes they can be my family, they can be younger or older for 20 years, they can be my close friends or random people passing by, they can be people from the magazine, or from the movie… hmm seams a lot, I would like to name all those people probably I would spend whole day for that.
Today I want to tell you that I remember about your influence on me and I’m happy having you as my teachers. Even it seams I make some mistakes or don’t listen to you, I really do!
Thank you for making my life meaningful

me and 2008

2009-01-09T12:48:00.011+02:00

it happen so.. sometimes

2009-01-08T14:36:00.004+02:00

Hmm, from the beginning of this year, I have so many thoughts in my head and I want to express them, write, but when it comes to writing it self words just disappearing and I don't know what to write, where to start and how to say..
What is that ??? Again discovering that i'm becoming more and more closed to outside world??
Strange.... and I don't know what to do with that.

P.S. any case here will be put a lot of posts, I want to share with you)))

happy holidays Ukraine )

Якщо ви чогось дуже сильно хочите... вся всиленна прийде вам на допомогу

2008-12-28T15:43:00.004+02:00

так і це правда ,вкотре переконуюся, що саме так воно і є. Сьогодні ходила купувати квитки до Києва, щоб зустрітися з однією важливою для мене людиною )) і взяла останній квиточок, який здали переді мною ))) такого захвату і радості в мене не було давно)))
тепер в мене є два квитка до Києва і знову додому )))

like this Ukrainian Christmas song

2008-12-23T22:02:00.001+02:00

MCP election

2008-12-05T16:30:00.007+02:00

I know a lot of people were waiting for this post. Finally I feel like doing that. Sharing those emotions with those who weren't at MCP election of AIESEC in Ukraine.
Yes, I was along, - and it made me much more stress before the conference , that usually it can take, but there were 1 big plus I was really calm and happy during the conference and election day.
so, my first speech (Motivation for the position) looked like this:

Then 1 hour of Question on external awareness:

Second speech and again 1 hour of answers :)) They went so quickly for me, and liked the process, when you confident in what you propose and what you want to continue, change and make, - answering becomes fun :)
Last speech - inspirations to members, - yee the Star in each of you!!!!
and....
announcement:

Growth

2008-12-05T00:44:00.003+02:00

That exactly what I feel right now.
In AIESEC a lot of things you learn firstly because it's needed to know and only afterworlds understanding is coming. Today I was thinking about Competency model. Actually, I've never been thinking so deeply if AIESEC is really has so big impact on me, what actually it gives to me.
Today while chatting with smart people I was working some years ago, I realized how much I've changed. I've never been so confident in what I'm doing, happy, patient, people oriented.
Keep on discovering

good day and something more...

2008-11-25T22:35:00.003+02:00

today i was walking in my home city, enjoying a bit cold weather. I really wanted to find some postcards with my city, to write sugars on it during new Horizons, however I didn't find something I really like. Ahh from other hand I found something much more interesting, Christmas postcards are already available in the shops..

I remind to my self how often I was buying them and sending before Christmas. Right now everything goes through e-mail, or even worth through facebook, skype or other social networks.

So I got an Idea, for those who will comment this post and write ur address I'll send Christmas wish by snail mail :)))

Yeee, I started to feel Christmas ))))

I choose to be ...

2008-11-22T10:59:00.006+02:00

myself...
be positive..
caring...
friendly...
smiling...
enjoying...
growing every day...
telling something good...
discovering something new...

I'm standing 1 week before my future will be defined at least for 1 more year :) And I really got the point, of people telling me enjoy the moment of waiting, answering, working, getting in and going out, it's worth trying... Yehh it is :)
see you on New Horizons

Amazing Mukachevo…

2008-11-20T19:26:00.001+02:00

So, the first day of my trip started in the morning of 13th, getting out the train, I realized the weather is just - perfect, - sunny, no clouds, + 10 C or even more. We were 3 in the train, me with Dogu (cool guy from Turkey) and one more girl form Kyiv.

Suddenly Ira came to us, and said, - “you remember I was talking about those friends of my father, - actually they came to pick us up, and they don’t want to hear that we will wait until some AIESECer will come to take us”. So, actually I didn’t have other opportunity rather then call to Yuri and say - somebody picked us, and we go to restaurant to have breakfast, don’t worry we I’ll call you back when we will be going to the premeeting house.

Firstly, this city reminded me so much Ivano-Frankivsk, once gain I realized how much I want to live there.

Secondly we had an amazing breakfast, eating гамбовці. The funnies thing, that those friends of Ira’s father, probably work in administration of the city or at least some high positions, they were in cool costumes, nice cars, paying for us everywhere) good beginning.

After breakfast, we decided to go to the Castle “Palanok”. It was wonderful, sunny weather with old building and big history.

Pictures will be soon

being unread book...

2008-11-11T00:10:00.002+02:00

Long time since I was writing here, mostly because I'm contributing to one more blog, - which is more about my life right now :)

Being unread book... This what I heard from one my teammate during feedback session last month. I felt my self really shocked, as all my life I was sure that I'm too opened to people an it costs me a lot of negative emotions sometimes. Last month I trying to speak, to chat with my teammates, but seams as I didn't succeed. So, I'm still unknown .... Does it mean that I changed from the time of being emotional and opened to people?? or it's just naturally that people become more closed with getting older.
Keep on discovering myself in the team :)

Backing to normal life

2008-10-09T23:41:00.002+03:00

It's seams as my life turning to normal scale. You may ask, why? or Wasn't it so before?
The reason is in me, finally I completely realize that i live in Kyiv, I have a job that is my passion at the same time, I live with my friends in one house, at the same time i fill being independent, - not asking parents for help, trying no to take money any more, learning how to cook, wash dishes after eating, normally keeping my room in order and many many things That I've never did before .
From other side, I started to live more balanced life, you can congratulate me with First read book during MC term, first running exercise in the park this week and meeting friends I value so much.

keep on going
hugs from fresh Kyiv :))

2008-09-28T00:02:00.004+03:00

Every country has it's song that will remind me about my staying there :)
For Brazil goes .......

2008-09-25T20:28:00.002+03:00

не знаю про що має бути цей пост, просто відчуваю, що хочу... треба щось написати

так ніхто не говорив, що буде легко, навіть навпаки, говорили, що буде важко, але ніхто не казав, що буде так багато невизначеності.. коли ти, сидячи в МС офісі чекаєш.. чекаєш поки ЛК відпишуть ,чекаєш поки в твого підковчерного ЛК закінчиться презентація, щоб позвонити і запитати, як пройшло, знову чекаєш на результати.... Переживаєш за них більше ніж за себе,а толку, в більшості вони тебе навіть не послухають, зроблять так як вважають за потрібне, - то де ж межа?? хіба я була таким же ЛСПом, і щоб зрозуміти мені знадобилося попасти в МС???
А ще, кожної години ти отримуєш дивні листи, про якісь малень дрібнички, але які є явно не позитивними, в когось н приїхав стажер, в когось мембери національних партнерів контактують, ще хтось придумую новий проект маючи 5 людей в організації.... і так кожну годину...
мабуть прийшла таки осінь....

Positiveness

2008-09-23T22:00:00.003+03:00

What is being positive?

Positive thinking means different things to different people. However, generally it is about facing up to the situation, and finding ways of coping with it. People do this in many ways. What works for one person may not work for another.

When you talk to people with cancer, even the most positive of them will admit to low times when they felt depressed and anxious. No one can be positive 100% of the time. It’s important that you don’t feel that you must always stay on top of things. Being positive doesn’t mean having to feel happy and cheerful all the time. It’s a positive thing to acknowledge and talk about your feelings – even when you’re feeling tired, worried, depressed or angry.

Why Think Positively?

All of our feelings, beliefs and knowledge are based on our internal thoughts, both conscious and subconscious. We are in control, whether we know it or not.We can be positive or negative, enthusiastic or dull, active or passive.

The biggest difference between people is their attitudes. For some, learning is enjoyable and exciting. For others, learning is a drudgery. For many, learning is just okay, something required on the road to a job.

"Most folks are about as happy as they
make up their minds to be."

I choose to be positive :)))

Are you doing at least 25 % of those things?

2008-09-08T18:58:00.002+03:00

1. Take a 10-30 minutes walk every day. And while you walk, smile.
2. Sit in silence for at least 10 minutes each day.
3. Sleep for 7 hours.
4. Live with the 3 E's -- Energy, Enthusiasm, and Empathy.
5. Play more games.
6. Read more books than you did in 2007.
7. Make time to practice meditation, yoga, and prayer. They provide us with daily fuel for our busy lives.
8. Spend time with people over the age of 70 & under the age of 6.
9. Dream more while you are awake.
10. Eat more foods that grow on trees and plants and eat less food that is manufactured in plants.

12. Try to make at least three people smile each day.
13. Don't waste your precious energy on gossip.
14. Forget issues of the past. Don't remind your partner with his/her mistakes of the past. That will ruin your present happiness.
15. Don't have negative thoughts or things you cannot control. Instead invest your energy in the positive present moment.
16. Realize that life is a school and you are here to learn. Problems are simply part of the curriculum that appear and fade away like algebra class but the lessons you learn will last a lifetime.
17. Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a beggar.
18. Smile and laugh more.
19. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone. Don't hate others.

21. You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.
22. Make peace with your past so it won't spoil the present.
23. Don't compare your life to others'. You have no idea what their journey is all about. Don't compare your partner with others.

25. Forgive everyone for everything.
26. What other people think of you is none of your business.
27. However good or bad a situation is, it will change.
28. Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends will. Stay in touch.

32. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.
33. Do the right thing!
34. Call your family often.
35. Your inner most is always happy. So be happy.
36. Each day give something good to others.
37. Don't over do. Keep your limits.

What to go home!!!

2008-09-05T15:27:00.002+03:00

Tomorrow I’ll be at home… after 2 month, I miss, I cannot wait to meet my sister (I have never thought I’ll want to see her so much after such short period of time), my parents, my lovely cat, my friends… aaaaa

Yesterday started to schedule my meetings in order to meet everyone I want… Being away, makes you so efficient in managing own time, you exactly know what you need and where you can get it.

I want to walk in my favorite places, go to my favorite café.

Actually, till moving to Kyiv, I thought that is nothing special to live 400 km from home, and it’s still the same country, but now I realize how much I was mistaken. Living Even 400 km, makes you miss so much people u love, even worth being only 400 km and don’t have possibility to go, makes u angry, what a fuck!!!

Happy, in love, me

Brazil, part 1

2008-09-04T16:12:00.005+03:00

I’ve backed from Brazil, Country I was dreaming about for 2 years, - from the time Yulia had backed from IC in Poland and said that IC 08 will be in Brazil, I thought it would be amazing to go there, and I did.

It supposes to be long post about everything what I experienced during those 15 days, so let’s get it started.

I think country can be described with things I love and I’m surprised with, still I cannot tell that I know much it just my point of view on things, places I saw.

I like….

Food, - it has so much similar things with Ukrainian, or better say with that we used to, but with some special vegetables and fruits we don’t have. The portions in restrains are really huge;
you can always drink fresh juice made from fruits you even don’t know. You know what? … on my first day I twice found salad pretty much like our Oliv’e J)

People, - almost nobody speaks English on the streets or in any public places accept hostels and hotels. At the same time when you ask about help they try to find a way how to explain you something, whether it will be drawing, gestures or even friend call.

Walking on our last free day in Sao Paulo, we tried to find shop with coffee, one guys sitting in some pub, called to his friend who spoke English just to help us J

Metro, - strange, but it Seams the best metro from those I’ve been using so far, clean, big with quite clear signs (unfortunately only in Portuguese ) and much more fester than in Ukraine. The price is also big, 2,40 R that is around 6,5 grn when in Ukraine metro costs only 50 kop.

to be.......

Особливо коли досягаєш чогось, і настає момент, що міняє все твоє життя... міняє тебе, твої погляди.. І тоді приходиться робити вибір, вибираючи між двома протилежнними сторонами але такими дорогими тобі.

І тоді немає нікого, хто може помогти чи порадити, бо вибір має бути Твій, і тільки ти вправі вирішувати, що буде далі....

What is next?

one more test to know myself better

моє місто

2008-06-01T22:26:00.004+03:00

Сьогодні прогулювалася вуличками Франківська, такі вузенькі та охайні, з різнокольоровими будиночками, і хай хтось каже, що вони не вписуються в архітектуру того століття в якому вони були створенні, - проте вони роблять місто казковим.

Центральна вулиця, з купою магазинчиків та ресторанчиків по обидві сторони, завжди наповнена людом. Закохані та замріяні, заклопотані та веселі; проходять, пробігають......

Івано-Франківськ - Європейське місто. Фонтани, алеї, парки, площі та собори, .. .все таке красиве, особливо влітку, коли все зелене, свіже .. коли повітря наповнюється пахощами трав, і коли погожого сонячного ранку з даху будинку видно гори. Або коли випаде дощ, і повітря стає таким свіжим- свіжим, а місто огортає веселка.

місто в якому все так близько, в якому можна знайти все, що захочеш :)))
Франківськ - це коли не треба сідати в автобус спекотнього літнього дня ,а можна прогулятися до будь-якої точки міста. Франківськ - це коли звуки скрипки чи акордеону незмовкають на центральних вулицях.

так це моє місто, мій Івано-Франківськ.....

2008-05-23T00:16:00.005+03:00

One year ago I was watching Euro vision together with my closest friends. It was the last time when we see each other all together. I even cannot imagine that is already 1 year passed.
Today was Euro Vision concert, the same flat, the same sofa, but something was different… instead of hot wine we had cold ice cream, instead of Masha – telephone call from Italy...

I don’t know in how many years we will see each other all together, but I’m sure our friendship will stay with us, I love you girls doesn’t meter, how often I can see you, or how far you can be. I’m really thankful God for giving me such a big present knowing You.

P.S. Masha, place where it feels like home, always open for you…

2008-05-20T23:13:00.000+03:00

Sometimes, when I don’t know what I really need at the point of time, I like reading blogs choosing them in random order, so I can take some new ideas, or just loose my time J what happens more often. Today’s evening is exactly for “blogs reading”, I did all things I needed before Euro Vision Semifinal part 1, - but it’s so bad, that I refused watching it.

Instead of reading some thoughts, I’ve decided to clean my mail box a little bit, and backing to the last page of my in-box massages , I’ve found Anula’s answer on my mail, somewhere in early Spring 2006. This made me think a bit. I met Anula last summer, in Moscow, - but I couldn’t imagine that we new each other through letters 1 year before.
Matching connecting people J)

from Rainbow to rainbow

2008-05-12T22:52:00.004+03:00

Happiness, people I love, smiles, kisses, hugs, dances, new people, girls, special people, again friends, frustration, AHA!!!, new friends, happiness for others achievements, discovery, talks, evening talks, night talks, jokes, laughing, connection, feedbacks, AHA!!!, thanks, sugars, tears, kiss, hugs, song, rainbow, train, dreams, morning, home J)) - its all about last week

I was walking to the venue, Monday morning, going through the bridge I saw a rainbow, - so colourful and bright, - I was looking on it, until it gone, and thought this conference will be so colourful like a rainbow. - It where my conference started for me.

........................................................

We where laying on the floor on each other, creating semi circle with our bodies and listening to the lyrics - "under the rainbow..." I was looking at the flipchart I created at the first day of the conference, called facebook page, - and tears were running through my face, It was so colourful like a rainbow. - it how my conference finished.

.......................................................

3 things I will remember:

1. Kevin's Angels, and that second evening with candles;
2. Talks with Betty and her approach to people;
3. Things I haven't done;

People I'm thankful to:

Zhenya, - for knowing what I need at any point of time;
Betty, - for talks, friendship, approach to work with people and good memory on names :)
Anula, - for laughing, hugs, honesty and building the friendship;
Kevin, - for giving thoughts for my head, smile, sugar, just for being special;
Eva, - for connection and work;
Katya, - for saying: "I love you so much" for being my friend, for conversations that matter;
Star and Liya - for watching your growth, observations and enjoyment;
kevin's angels - for being there together :)
keep searching for soiled ground.....

Ooooo oooooo oooooo

Somewhere over the rainbow

Way up high

And the dreams that you dreamed of

Once in a lullaby ii ii iii

Somewhere over the rainbow

Blue birds fly

And the dreams that you dreamed of

Dreams really do come true ooh ooooh

Someday I'll wish upon a star

Wake up where the clouds are far behind me ee ee eeh

Where trouble melts like lemon drops

High above the chimney tops thats where you'll find me oh

Somewhere over the rainbow bluebirds fly

And the dream that you dare to,why, oh why can't I? i iiii

Well I see trees of green and

Red roses too,

I'll watch them bloom for me and you

And I think to myself

What a wonderful world

Well I see skies of blue and I see clouds of white

And the brightness of day

I like the dark and I think to myself

What a wonderful world

The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky

Are also on the faces of people passing by

I see friends shaking hands

Saying, "How do you do?"

They're really saying, I...I love you

I hear babies cry and I watch them grow,

They'll learn much more

Than we'll know

And I think to myself

What a wonderful world (w)oohoorld

Someday I'll wish upon a star,

Wake up where the clouds are far behind me

Where trouble melts like lemon drops

High above the chimney top that's where you'll find me

Oh, Somewhere over the rainbow way up high

And the dream that you dare to, why, oh why can't I? I hiii ?

Ooooo oooooo oooooo

First conference spend together, unfortunately Shasha was not with us, from other hand I’ve realized haw much I started to miss him, could I even think last year when I met that guy with origin of band member, that we ganna work together? Sure no, but I really happy for that. Zagasss, how is your health? J
Our lovely MCP, What to say, there is truly leaders that can lead so naturally, she is definitely one of those. Thank you my Bashen’ka for your workJ.
Lyubas from Donbas, love her way of behaving, I thought she is so shy and silent, but she is not J Crazy and smart, well as all of us probably
Kate, “I cannot get the point” – well it’s not about her, but still is funny to rapid when we say something too smartJ)) Katya, I love you sooo muchJ))
Larusha, - it’s obvious to call you so, I know you for so long that is seams I know you all my AIESEC life, even we met just two years ago J
And the Last but not the least, Rostya, our dear teammate from Ch. Republic, - you so sweet, even I don’t understand you humor sometimes, I just want to hug you J)) na-na na na – nana…..

MC life

2008-04-08T21:40:00.001+03:00

I’m in Kiev, on the second transition week of MC teams. Ahh we have so much fun working together with all those random words that are becoming our Core Words.
Today, we realized that we already started to use common movements when we explaining something, so funny J))))
And you know how is to live 13 people in 1 flat, I thought that it will be impossible but it’s ok, I don’t feel like it’s 13 of us.
Preparing the best conference everJ)))

Expro XP or 3 girls on the balcony …

2008-04-01T23:33:00.002+03:00

Today, I’ve reminded one funny story from EXPRO, about what I completely forgot backing home.
One evening 1 hour before country meeting, Lara came to us (me and Kate) and they went out to the balcony to smoke and have some conversation, I stayed along in the room. Outside the weather was pretty bad – snowing, -10 probably, as it was almost midnight. Even with such a weather I joined them in their conversation, we were speaking about Global village preparation, suddenly Sasha came to us, looked at those bottles of Vodka and decided to back into his room take his provision and bring it to us, so everything would be in one place. He did so. After few minutes of discussion of who is going to take shower first, we realized that we are closed on the balcony by Sasha.
First minutes we were laughing, and then we realized that it’s not so funny if to take into consideration that Sasha still not here. Small point, Lara was in T-short, Kate in thin blouse and me in Jacket but in skirt without stockings.
We started to scream, firstly in Ukrainian – maybe Sasha is near by, then in Russian - maybe some workers are near by, then in English – maybe somebody at least anybody will hear it and help us. After 15 minutes of screaming, we opened bottle of Vodka, too coldJ))
With new power we were beating on windows, making as much noise as we could... After some time we noticed that our room door are a little bit opened, just for 10 sm. And from the door in front we could see somebody standing and looking at our room. It was Ivan (AI CEE derector), completely confused by strange voices somewhere around.
Remember us, staying near windows and screaming – Ivan help us, please save us until we are not frozen.... But he didn’t hear, demm Russian isolation, works good.
Finally he came closer to our room, then entered it… but he couldn’t see us, I can imagine his feelings – opened empty room with strange noise around. J) We started to beat windows again – Thanks God he has seen us and opened the door.
Ohh first minutes we wanted to kill Sasha as fast as we could then started to laugh again, then told this story on country meeting – evening went so funny after it.
It’s cool to live near AI and Faci, at least you can find someone in the room J) when you need it

Euro Expro part 2

2008-03-27T08:12:00.001+02:00

Again, it’s about people, about new peopleJ)) I’ve met.
Well starting with my almost Russian speaking home-group and Ira Ruseva – the best faci everJ):
It was so easy to share and work, to discuss and ask questions. I remember that “random” simulation of LC life, which we were completely lost at, but started to share some GCPs from our life’s and simply talk about random stuff, however we had fun those 1 hour. Remember us sitting on the floor and discussing AIESEC Way and our commitment to 2010, things that we know but where so many new questions can be asked (Pasha, you were talking smart things I’ve never thought before).
Remember our GTKEO games, and the way some delegates were shocked what they suppose to do, and the best “Murder game” I’ve ever played. Again creating logo, shout and name of our Home group – KGB, I even now cannot remember why we choose this name, No. No here is nothing connected to what you’ve thought about. Keep Getting Better!!! caz results always matter. J))

I was satisfied with content of the conference, it fitted my expectations. The logic behind the sessions and blocks was good and understandable, it seamed that those sessions where prepared not one hour before the session haw it sometimes happen. The most I remember myaiesec.net simulation, so fanny – even there were a lot of people that didn’t like it, I enjoyed every minute.

Ukraine:
I do believe we made everything possible to be known by GNs, and reached our goal of saying TO the plenary that it’s time for Ukraine to Rock!!!! And We will!!!
Our crazy roll-call during morning plenary, It was so funny to stay in front of delegates and facis and present it, remember those faces of AI, laughing, laughing … and Then going to the breaks hearing people repeated those movement. (TM-TM-members feeling well, partners, partners give us money….)
Aha, and crazy dances in front of Faci rooms (poor people to live near UA delegation is not the best way to get sleep), repetitions before Global village and so Amazing performance on the stage in front of unknown Russian people.
Ahh it’s just my emotions, As soon I’ll get those videos I’ll put a links for you to see, what does it mean to be Ukrainian J)) and to be AIESEC in Ukraine.

One AIESEC – one Ukraine!!!

To be continue ....

Euro Expro 2008 part 1

2008-03-26T15:44:00.001+02:00

Things that made me happy during Euro Expro part 1

First thing I was happy about, to meet people I know and love –Russian MCs - delegation I know the most, and where I really have friends. Then I met some delegates from ProMS in Moscow, Liya and Serbian guy are in MC right now... Felt proud that I’ve made contribution to their development. Some of my home group members are in EBs of St. Petersburg LCs.
Continuing with people, I’ve met AI, especially I was happy to meet Ivan (CEE director), with his fanny approach to explain everything and make people confuse J , on the 3rd day I got really big surprise – my friend Gaspar (ex MCP Tanzania) he came for PwC launch. AEEE was happy to joke with him. More where I’ve discovered he is good dancer of Latino, hope to get those funny pics from Latino night and our dancing.
Some people whom I met during IC where also there, Alex got elected to MC of China, so 1 more year we will work together J thank you Alex for nice conference and your approach. Pasha, he he, a bit shocked to know he applied again to MC, during IC I was sure that he is that kind of guy who will not stay long in AIESEC. Being in one home-group, I changed my mind, - funny smart guyJ) Hope to see you on IC in Brazil, or wherever comes. Dora from Italian MC, friendly and bright as usual, was so kind to bring all those presents from Savrans’ka J)
Even there where no Ukraine MC 06-07, I’ve got nice presents from Masha and Inna, Masha send us (me and Lara) a big package of REALLY NEEDED THINGS IN MC FLAT J)) Thank you my PINGVINCHIK!!!! And tell us you are not!! After our frogs you are!!! But they are really really cute J))
Inna send Ukrainian delegation some alcoholic drink, it was tastyJ) Thank you for caring and remembering usJ))

Awesame Weekend

2008-02-25T13:01:00.002+02:00

Yes, I had really nice weekend.
Everything has started on Friday, when after long – long working day with MC coach we had a little party with LC in Khymera. Well it was not crazy or long, but I got a chance to see our members too speak with them about their plans, feelings etc. I was enjoying speaking about some common things rather its University or AIESEC life, or movie.
On Saturday we had training from Finance team; it was fun, with some exesises and examples. Heh in the evening we had billiard with old AIESEcers, I haven’t drunk so many bear almost for a month. At 11 party was not over we left for my place and continue ur party at my apartment with some comedy, however I so it before so I was partly sleepingJ)) Bogdan went to sleep even fester them me.

The happiest dreams...

2008-02-13T08:23:00.000+02:00

Tonight I saw the dream about my travel to Canada, once again. Nearly once in a month I have an opportunity “to go” to my dream country for a while, and usually my dreams about this place are the happiest and getting up after I feel my self rested and smiling.
Well I already visited 4 countries, but just about this I have so bright memories, so close people living there, so big desire to go there once again. Come to Swan River, walk in familiar parks, go to supermarkets where you can find everything you need and even do not know that is exist in the earth. Visit my host family, program trainer and my friends J.
I for sure know that some days I will do it.
Missing my second home:)

Friday

2008-02-09T13:54:00.000+02:00

I had awesome day yesterday! Well, it started from the desire not to go to the University for English Class, what I actually didJ. I was invited to read a lecture about leadership and its connection to youth, so I had more time to prepare myself doing it.
I came to the Gas Company, entered the presentation hall, and was shocked a little bit, in front of person that invited me were sitting people, but definitely not youth!!! At the same time I imagined me standing and speaking about Leadership, CSR and Global Contract to those people…. No I couldn’t imagine it.
Maybe for half an hour I was sitting there and listening to others speakers, when I became calm, I was invited to start the speech. Well the feelings about that are just amazing, they were listening me with full concentration, asking questions – mostly about AIESEC and our projects. Definitely, I made good speech, everybody liked it, so do I.
After my debut in the company, I was just walking down the centre of the city, the san was shining so brightly, it was really hot… just lovely weather to make a walk and arrange some meetings with old friends.
At the and of my wonderful day I visited my best friend with her son, - we were speaking, laughing, and watching idiotic American programs.
Nice Friday, so bright and sunny

2008-02-08T08:53:00.000+02:00

А тепер подумай, і дай відповідь на ці запитання

1. Назви п’ять найбагатших людей на планеті.

2. Назви п’ять останніх «міс світу».

3. Назви п’ять останніх лауреатів Нобелівської премії.

4. Назви п’ять останніх лауреатів кіно премії Оскар.

Важкувато, чи не так?

Аплодисменти стихають!Призи вкриваються пилом!Переможців швидко забувають.

А тепер дай відповідь на ці запитання:

1. Назви трьох вчителів, які зробили внесок в твою освіту.

2. Назви трьох друзів, які допомогли тобі у важкі часи.

3. Згадай кількох людей, які викликали в тебе особливі почуття.

4. Назви п’ятьох людей, з якими тобі було приємно проводити час.

Здійсненно? Значно простіше, чи не так?Люди, які щось означають у твоєму житті не в рейтингу «кращих», не мають більше грошей, ніж інші, не виграли найпрестижніших призів…

Це ті, хто піклується про тебе, дорожать тобою, ті, хто, незважаючи ні на що, завжди залишаються поруч.

"Dyshu" concert program by V. Yama

2008-02-06T11:24:00.000+02:00

Yesterday, I was at the Vladislav Yama concert. The preparation was pretty bad - delay for 30 min, the concert took it self just 1 hour, and Yama was dancing maybe 20 min from those 60.
However the idea of this concert is really cool, the only thing that came to my mind that somewhere abroad with such an organization people would never come to you again, but not in Ukraine and our artists (doesn't matter if it dancing or singing or playing) even don't try to make their best at the stage especially when they are coming to the small city.

Hope someday it's going to change.

:)))))))

2008-02-04T22:33:00.000+02:00

Yee, I do feel it. Something new is starting ... no, no it’s not about new position or city changing, its insight me and not connected to AIESEC (or I just think so); somehow I do feel that I’m changing …. What I’ve mentioned, I started to give more time for self discovering, I’m reading more, watching TV (mostly News and programs) and movies, I found some time for my old friends, I love studying (yes, I love subjects I have this term and I’m completely happy to go to the University and see my teachers, speak to them), I care more about my health (started with diet and oculist visits), I take everything with positive approach (is it finally my conclusions after New Horizons??? )
My last week, was really cool (small up-date):
1. I got invitation from Oil and Gas Industry Regional Centre to be speaker at their Leadership and career day J (Wow, I will be speaking about AIESEC and it’s connection to leadership in youth in front of young specialists from Oil and Gas industry Companies);
2. One distributing company invited me to hold training for newly recruited students about sales;
3. The best professor of my University (and not only) teaches me 2 subjects (Strategic management and HR management);
4. Our Alumni teaches me Branch Management, yahoo
5. We (EB) has organized cool connection time with LC members (connected to elections that are coming);

Life is good!!!

Moments that shaped my heart...

2008-01-22T09:23:00.001+02:00

There were some moments happening during last week that for sure I’ll never forget.
1) MCP election, when before announcement you already understand who will be that person, and you feel so strange, - happiness but at the same time you are sad caz another amazing person will not get it. You know it’s your choose and no meter what people tells you, you believe in what you have just written on the paper, but your feelings – they are too mixed - you simply start crying…
2) Standing on the stage, starting with the words: “Think about your last journey. Where did it start from?...” and understanding after 5th sentence, that no meter you are first or last people will listen to you because of words, because of passion in your voice, because of your smile J and honest. While speaking you see only big eyes of people looking at you and supporting you. Happy and satisfied you finish your speech…
3) Going out the plenary, you see nothing, everyone is screaming, you feel: “yes!! I did it!” and suddenly you hear from the other corner of plenary, someone’s: “Bravo!!!” You torn your head left and see Happy face of Zhenya standing on the chair, - the support I needed so much that moment, thank you Zhenya for giving it.
4) “Tanya, it was amazing, - I didn’t expect it from you” – my lovely Yulia, said so honestly words
5) Strange feeling to be afraid more of other people then about your self, to care if they are going to be selected
6) Little conversation with Bashnya after elections :)

2008-01-11T22:40:00.000+02:00

Пройти тест

коли дзвенять дзвіночки......

2008-01-07T21:00:00.000+02:00

Як добре знову бути вдома, і не там де ти живеш зараз, а в домі там де ти проовів своє дитинство, де ти ріс і навчався , сміявся і плакав, вчився любити і допомагати, де вивчив свою першу молитву, де така сніжна зима і затишна тепла оселя......

Різдво у рідному селі :)

Люблю традиції своєї родини і містерію Різдва, і байдуже, що вже не буде так як колись, і родина стала менша, в серці завжди згадки про ті прекрасні роки, коли вся велика родина збиралася за Різдв'яним столом.

Ось таке в мене Різдво :)

Все починається з приготування Куті, - на це мама тратить приблизно пів дня, щоб кутя була смачною до неї можна додавати цукерки, халву, горішки, - все до смаку :)

День перед Свят вечором печеться домашній хліб та пампушки з маком.

Обовязково на столі має 12 страв, в нас дома готують одні і тіж страви з покоління до пооління (Кутя, пампушки, узвар з сухофруктів, рибка жарена, оселедець, вареники з картоплею та капустою, грибна підлива, пісні голубці, яблука смажені, картопляники та буряк з хренем:))

Стіл застелюють вишитою скатертиною, якій вже майже 80 років, яку ще моя прабабуся малою вишивала з своєю мамою, під скатертину ставлять оберемок сіна, щоб в оселі був затишок і тепло, по кутах стола головки часника, - для захисту від нечистих сил :) Перше на стіл ставлять і запалюють свічку, потім, обовязково вносять дідуха.

Вся родина збирається за вечірньою молитвою. Якщо за столом є діти, вони лізуть під стіл і починають ку-ку-рікати, хрюкати, мукати, - щоб господака добре велася в цій оселі.

після вечері родина починає колядувати та чекає малих колядників, що починають ходити після вечері і аж до 9 того січня.

В ночі у церкві богослужіння, і то дурниці, що до церкви 2км засніженим полем, в цю ніч все село збирається в маленькій дерявяній церкві, щоб згодом сказати Христос ся Рождає!!!!!

На Різдво всі колядують, ходять в гості і багато їдять:)

а сьогодні повернулася до Франківська, УРА!!! колядники як і завжди ходять колядувати, і так приємно, коли дзвонить звінок у дверях, коляда йде!!!! і стає так добре і затишно .....

Христос ся Рождає!!!!!

Славімо Його!!!!!!

My friends___Before New Year

2007-12-28T23:35:00.000+02:00

One year ago I started from post on my blog about 2006. The time is passing really quickly and 2007 is almost finished J I must confess I don’t feel like New Year or Christmas are coming, it’s like you have some random holidays but nothing special. I started to listen to Christmas songs, tomorrow planning to by Christmas tree and finally clean my room, maybe Christmas mood will come to me???
In such moments you become to value friends the most, even if u are staying in home country it can be heard, You have people with whom you feel ok, with whom you work perfectly but there some people whom you love so much, with whom you have so much good memories, with whom you would love to sit in one sofa and share what was happening during this year and new Year and Christmas is exactly that right time, but you also understand that half of you best friends are somewhere in the world…Yehhh I miss my Legenka, Khruslyachok, Mashul’ka, my Canadian family:), Theresa and Ross, I miss Greg , my lovely favorite intern Garnik, and many many more good people.
My dear friends I wish you love and smiles, I wish you luck and happiness, I wish you to have best people around you to support, to believe in you, to be happy of you :)
Happy that I have people I can miss; it means I found real friends :)

after my Birthday

2007-12-16T13:30:00.000+02:00

The most i was impressed by presents made by my EB, yes i can say they know me and they feel what i want and need, special thanks to Natka and Yul'chyk who had chosen those presents :)

One more thing i want to share the little poem made by one newbie for my birthday, I really appreciate it :), at such moments u feel that u are needed and happy:)

"....Наша Танічка найкращий

Президент на світі

Кращого ніде немає

Гарантує Вітя....

Ти мальньке наше сонце

Добре і пухнасте

Найтепліше в тебе серце

Тихе, попелясте...

Ми тебе разом вітаєм

Бо всі любим ДУЖЕ

Усього тобі бажаєм

Головне - це друзів

І нехай в житті твоєму

Буде все як хочеш

а наступнику своєму

Передай що зможеш ..."

Ma favourite Christmas English song

2007-12-15T01:39:00.000+02:00

Hark! the herald angels sing,"
Glory to the new born King,
peace on earth, and mercy mild,
God and sinners reconciled!"
Joyful, all ye nations rise,
join the triumph of the skies;
with th' angelic host proclaim,
"Christ is born in Bethlehem!"
Hark! the herald angels sing,
"Glory to the new born King!"
Christ, by highest heaven adored;
Christ, the everlasting Lord;
late in time behold him come,
offspring of a virgin's womb.
Veiled in flesh the Godhead see;
hail th' incarnate Deity,
pleased as man with man to dwell,
Jesus, our Emmanuel.
Hark! the herald angels sing,
"Glory to the new born King!"
Hail the heaven-born Prince of Peace!
Hail the Son of Righteousness!
Light and life to all he brings,
risen with healing in his wings.
Mild he lays his glory by,
born that man no more may die,
born to raise the sons of earth,
born to give us second birth.
Hark! the herald angels sing,
"Glory to the new born King!"
Come, Desire of nations, come,
fix in us thy humble home;rise,
the woman's conquering Seed,
bruise in us the serpent's head.
Adam's likeness, Lord, efface;
stamp thine image in its place.
Second Adam from above,
Reinstate us in thy love.
Hark! the herald angels sing,
"Glory to the new born King!"

the best faci team

2007-12-03T20:45:00.000+02:00

Those people made me feel so good during last week.
Thank you guys, for being part of my life.

one more confrence this year....the last in 2007

2007-12-03T19:04:00.000+02:00

When I got the answer about selection, first thought that came to my mind – What a wonderful team I’m going to work next month, and exactly the same filling I have right now after new Horizons in Lviv.
This conference is like a ball of energy+ positive emotions+ family atmosphere+ and many many more…..
And now a little bit more about how it was:
“When U don’t know people with whom U going to work next week but u can’t wait to see them, it about Leadership track of New Horizons J So different, with different dreams, different life styles, different AIESEC XP, but U feel so comfortable to work with them.
Today’s evening the last day of pre-meeting before conference is going to start, it’s the first time, when I don’t need to work on my sessions, to re-write my outline, to prepare the ppts. Everything is done already, so I have some time to reflect and think what I want this conference to be for me.
The feeling of being away from my daily work, duties, and problems makes me feel even happier. It’s exactly where I needed to be at this time.
One more thing that there are people I wanted to see, and talk to.”
27.11.07
The conference had started, and second session made a mood for whole conference, thanks to Nadiyka and her Positive Psychology J I think this session is also in top reasons why I felt so good during the conference, it’s really amazing when being faci, u have also time for your personal learning, and from each session you can take something for you.
Sustainability day, - here I chose Education as it’s really what I worry about and where I want to make contribution. I got satisfied about how it was, even I was not in Deloite group, I got a chance to be up-dated what was there while panel discussion. One more thing I have experienced - practicing in synchronic translation for USA volunteer. (I enjoyed it)
One of the rule in the conference – Expect an expected, - yes it’s all about this conference. We got 3rd place in Just Raise it Campaign, - and for me it was unexpected at all, but at the same time one of the most brilliant time while my LCP term J, ur LC is recognized, what can be better for LCP???

Yra!!!!!! Winter is coming!!!!!

2007-11-12T18:51:00.000+02:00

Today was snowing all day long..... and It was amazing, everything is wight.

I remind to my self that holiays are coming soon, and it's so great, the best time for me is coming- winter, Christmas...

Happy!!!!

2007-10-29T22:32:00.001+02:00

Because you Happy!!!!
Yes, it was unbelievable filling standing on the closing plenary, when all participants were standing in the circle holding each other hand and singing the song.
First thoughts, URA!!!!! We did it!!!!! Then I looked at the window and remained to my self last 2 month of preparation, different issues with OC and OCP, time when I was happy and time when I was so scared to make some mistakes. And I realized that is over, there is no more worry about venue, sponsorship and money, it’s happened, exist!!! I started to cry, I was so happy about it.
Then I reminded to my self the conversation with Vova, last evening before the conference. I was sharing my fears and telling that is the most challenging time for me. I remember I told: “I want Sunday!!!!! The most I want Sunday!!!” Then I remind Birthday party when he came to me and send: “Tanya it’s already Sunday, are you Happy?” And I said “yes, I’m”.
The episodes where clicking so fast in my head. Conference it self, birthday party, when some LCs are congratulating u, present from alumnus, then telephone call to Yura Fylyuk – I was so happy to say happy Birthday to him in front of all delegates, and sing HB song with Franik freshes, faci meetings during the night and people that are coming to you to say Thank you for amazing job.
I was standing and crying – the biggest challenge can be the biggest achievement and the biggest happiness at the same time and only U are responsible what it’s going to be for you!

It's all about people

2007-10-22T22:06:00.001+03:00

Так, є різні люди...

хтось підтримує, хтось дорікає, намагається будь-що вказати на твої помилки, правда коли в тебе щось виходить, чомусь забуває про це сказати... але це ж наромально. Чи ні???

Чомусь люди від яких ти чекаєш підтримки, і просто хорошого слова, в найважчі моменти ти чуєш тільки докори і зневагу.

Чому люди так легко роблять висновки і малюють в своїй голові картинки, - навіть не намагаючись розібратися, що ж насправді коїться?

а ще, що таке челендж про який ми так багато говорим в AIESECу? Це щось спеціально придумане для лузерів щоб хоч якось дати пояснення ситуаціям які відбуваються?? чи то так має бути, щоб сказати, що ти в організації була не дарма???

А ще де межа між роботою і фаном в AIESECу?? Що ж тепер є ця організація?? Роботою, де за будь-який промах тобі обовязково нагадають купу разів, але якщо ти зробив щось вагоме в організації, то так швидко про це забувають..... Це та організація яку будували 59 років??

А знаєте, що ще зрозуміла, що ми дуже всі корисливі, якщо нам щось треба ми так часто обіцяємо золоті гори - лиш щоб отримати своє, а коли воно вже в нас... відмовляємся від своїх слів :) ну то що, може пора мінятися??? А глобал лідерс оф туморов???

Figure Skating

2007-10-19T16:42:00.000+03:00

Hm, have never thought that I'm going try it some days. I'm too afraid to broke my lags or hands.
But still, yesterday I did it!!!
Firstly I was just going and touching fence, after 1 hour I started 1 circle without fence campaign!!! Well I was quite successful as for the first time. At the end of my skating I full down and first second thought that I broke some fingers on my lag, but it was ok :)
It was really lovely evening, @ers, freshes, alumni, classmates:) all together

Один день для себе :)

2007-10-14T11:00:00.000+03:00

Так, один день, коли до тебе ніхто не звонить, не просить щось терміново зробити, коли майже весь день належить тобі:)

Нарешті з"являється час подивитися давно заплановані фільми, почитати, і просто повештатися по хаті в пошуках.. мабуть самої сабе і нових планів, цілей думок..

Коли була в борді, такої проблеми в мене не виникало, багато роботи, але в більшій мірі, це робота яку ти можеш робити, в не залежності від дня чи ночі, робота яку ти робиш сам, і хтось дає на неї фідбек... Тепер ж ти є тим хтось, що перевіряє, контролює, мотивує, робить безліч зустрічей в день, і до кого звонять, якщо винакає найменша необхідність :) Мушу сказати, що це таки виснажує, проте, це найціннішй досвід який, я могла отримати.

Тішуся, з того, що все зараз добре, і навіть знайшовся час, просто побути одній... от якби ще Неділя так пройшла........

2007-10-01T19:08:00.000+03:00

When u like somebody, whom u better don’t…it's difficult not to show u feelings to other people and keep going, it's difficult when u see his smile caz u never know what he is telling u by it....

Yeh...There is one man whom I like. For sure he doesn’t know about it, sure I’ll not have enough power to show it somehow to him but still I feel really good. Good to know that I’m coming back, from that period when I didn’t want somebody come to my life.

What is going to be next??? I don’t know life will show it, if there is any chance to be together I want to make it happen.

2007-09-13T22:56:00.000+03:00

The week is almost finished, and I feel my self almost dead.
But I’m not going to write about it. The topic of this post is – my thoughts (as usual evening)
Why really often people do not achieve what they want? I asked my self some days ago.
Well there are lots of reasons, but I found one for my self – it’s our fears. Sometimes even if I want something so much I stop because I see impossible difficulties, or I just think they are impossible. Well this reason had stopped me from doing a lot of cool things last two years that I spend in AIESEC, but after becoming LCP I started to feel that I’m loosing this because I simply don’t have a time to think and evaluate each step I’m taking. Its looks like u are standing on running road and u can just keep going and never give up. Something similar is happening to me right now and the “running road” for me is my members, when I see them, speak to them it’s becoming enough to say to my self I CAN even I really disappointed about some work. Is it mean that I’ve finally found the motivation for this term??? Or I just don’t want to loose?? Or I’m afraid to be the worst LCP?? Or as usual I want to be perfect in every thing I do?? What????

Evening thoughts

After the theatre
Well, I like going to the theatre… This time it was casual as my sister had two tickets (for her and her boyfriend), any way he couldn’t go, so I use this opportunity. The performance was amazing, I enjoy every minute staying there. It was musical comedy, I don’t remember the name, but it’s not so important.
While the performance, I was thinking what will I miss from Ukraine if I go somewhere to totally different country. I came up with lot’s of things, sure theatre is included there. The other thing is Ukrainian music (my close friends can tell what I like the most) – yes, I love Ukrainian traditional songs, I love Kolomyjky, I believe my wedding will be with lot’s of that kind of music :)
Backing to the performance - the story was happening in Italy. While watching I remind Masha spiting to other people on IC, as in this story is shown when people cannot find the compromise, or just spoiling they spiting all the time. Ha – ha Masha, u truly Italian:)
So, happy and motivated ready to start next week of work

про людей

2007-09-01T23:28:00.000+03:00

От міркую, що керує людьми, які думають тільки про вигоду для себе? Коли в когось щось виходить, в кращому випадку вони критикують, а в гіршому ще й обурюються, як так вийшло.
Хіба так добре жити?? Хіба такі люди, вміють цінувати справді життя???
І чи багато таких людей в АЙСИКу??? хм.. ну декількох навіть сама знаю, сподіваюся... що так воно і є, і таких людей дійсно мало, бо інакше в мене складається враження, що ми не лідерів майбутнього виховуєм, а якихось "монстрів"!!!
а ще чи мають такі люди друзів??? Якщо мають, то яких?? собі подібних?? чи просто бідолах, яких вони використовують поки ті навіть не підозрюють цього....
Знаю точно, що з такими людьми мені не по дорозі, і мені не те що працювати, а й говорити з ними важко....
От такі то в мене думки, в останній день вихідних.........

Well I understand that I haven't written for long time here.. not because i didn't have something to say, I just didn't feel i want.
Right now I'm sitting in Baryga's room along thinking about my life (some kind of reflection) and finally have a strong wish to post something.... Hm however I don't know what... so many things has happened here.
but lets try from the beginning.....
Well the first really awesome emotions I expressed were meeting with Mashenka and UA girls (Svetulya and Innok). I really missed them ... of course Masha the most (Masha how about u???).
Second one about diversity in which I'm living now... 100 countries... 670 delegates.... Wow!! Can u imagine where else U can meet such a number of people????? Well In the next IC (think about it - my EB, LC - there are lots of opportunities to go to Brazil - START TO THINK ABOUT THEM TODAY!!!!)
Thirds one to feel that u are part of something really big and needed.

And now about second part of post. Some days ago (I'm totally lost in counting dates and days here) we had developing leaders day, - which was organized by Caldbury Schweppes and ABN Amro. And we were making the Belbin test, - well I was not surprised that my role is resource investigator (people oriented role), and even was not thinking about it.. but.. on Musha's blog I read some thoughts about it....So what came to my mind:
Being people oriented does it mean that I'm not focusing on results and achievements??? Is it really about me that i cannot finish what I start??? I know for sure that it happened to me really often in high school, but since I'm in AIESEC was focusing a lot in changing my self. And u know what I feel, - that some how I becoming more closed to people around me ... (maybe it's just my feeling), and it makes me sad caz must probably if u developing some characteristics u loose other ones. .....

Moscow

2007-08-09T23:38:00.001+03:00

6th of August Moscow
Yesterday was completely good day, I enjoyed it really mach.
Firstly me and Lara went to the Kievskaya railway station to change grivnas as no where in the city is possible to do (Quite strange for me). The station is big and not structured; U can easily lost, as inscriptions are really small. Second thing I dislike it’s a lot of people that try to sale u something, also I’ve seen a lot of Asia people, they where dirty and some of them drunk (still we will need to visit this place once againL) – but it was the only one not comfortable thing about yesterday.
While passing underground Passage between the lines I heard beautiful music, some man played on violin, I really love it in subways, the acoustic is really good and u can hear the melody even near the trains. I don’t remember the song but for sure it was on of my favorite as I was almost flying listening to it. I felt my self truly happy being here.
Then we met with other facies that ware still in Moscow (me, Lara, Bashya, Riza, Aigul and Marina). And our tour started.
We started from Peace prospect and were going down the street to Kremlin. Almost all street was under contraction, a lot of workers, all buildings are covered, but in Ukraine if even they cover the building it just about passers-by safety, they don’t care about beauty. Here is buildings are covered everywhere where is repairing going and it looks really good.
Than we came to Kremlin and spend there a lot of time, just walking around the Red squire. Unfortunately we didn’t visit Lenin mavzoley as it was closed. But we’ve been to the Cathedral of St. Basil the Blessed, I felt in love with the architecture of it. I recognize that u don’t get tired of watching on that beautiful church.
Generally inside the square it’s looks like in some tails: the red buildings, cathedral, park, everything so beautiful and clean, a lot of flowers and even much more tourists.
Then we’ve been to the park, the grass is really comfortable to sit, a lot’s of flowers everywhere, also there was a lake on which we could see different tail’s heroes. – I loved the park – it remained me parks from American movies. After we visited the Cathedral of Christ the Savior, it situated near the river Moscow also there is a bridge for pedestrians, from where u can see Kremlin and some other architectural buildings.
The last thing from our tour was Old Arbat street. Generally It’s something like Stometrivka in Franik, but much more bigger with souvenirs shops everywhere, with lots of people. There I liked the most different painting pictures and bought some souvenirs but the prices are really high, so can’t offer for my self muchL.
AT HOME:
We (me, Lara and Riza) back home really tired, I couldn’t walk after such a trip the same as others.
And than was one of the best evenings in Moscow, firstly we were speaking with Vera – the intern from Slovakia (she lives with us), than I was just speaking with Lara, so good to share stories, problems, dreams, - thank u Larusha for great evening talks I enjoyed it really much – suddenly at that moment I truly understood that I have vacation, and I’m resting!!!!! My phone is blocked so I cannot call or write sms, I don’t have internet access so I don’t know what is happening in LC, - and I realize that it really good as if I have a chance to call or to write something I would do it – but what the reason for it?? Just spend my money?? As still I’m in Moscow and will not back anthill Friday. So it was just needed rest for me before backing home, when u don’t think about ur problems, what u need to do when came back home, just caching all good memories, laughing from fanny staff.
One more special thing, when we were sitting on a kitchen with Lara, Riza came to us, - he came to say Good-bye, as they were leaving in the morning. It was so special words, I thought he will cry, Riza is that kind of man that every women is dreaming about, - kind, friendly, fanny, thankful, thank u my dear friend, my doors are always opened for u.

First day in Moscow (28th of July)

2007-07-29T15:48:00.001+03:00

It was quite long but really interesting day, especially when u getting lost 4 times per day. But let’s start from every beginning.
At 5 o’clock (UA time) or 6 o’clock (RU time) me and Lara finally got to Moscow railway station J. Before that we where speaking and I said that have such a filling that nobody will meet us.. Well when we got out the train I understood that I was right. The main point that we didn’t have any phone numbers, addresses.. for first half an hour we were waiting with hope that somebody overslept and will take us from the station, but then we understood that nobody will. So at 5:30 ua time Lara was calling to Bogdan – as he is the only one who wasn’t on LDS so could help to find some telephone numbers. I can imagine Bogdan’s face after such calling but what could we do ;) So after 2 hour standing near the station, 70 grivnas losing for telephone conversations we got a sms from girl that is supposed to pick us up!! Yra!!!
Then we got squinted with Moscow metropolitan – well I like Kiev’s metro better, but what I really enjoyed there are pictures, different paintings on the walls insight the metro and one more thing that there some part where metro is going outside the tunnel so u can see buildings, nature, - one of such a road is going across the bridge. Ow till this time it’s the best what I have already seen in Moscow – it’s really amazing, especially when it’s sunset and the river is lighted with 1000ts of Flashlights and at the back site u see Hugh buildings lighted as well, somehow it’s reminds me pictures with New York city J really really amazing.
Well we are living in one of sleeping district – me Lara and Riza we even don’t know who is the owner of the flat we are living in, rest facis live in MC flats (they have 2 of them + office). And the pre meetings are taking parts in the other site of the city to take there we need 1,5 hour to take there.
The pre meeting was quite good but we were so tired… When it was time for lunch we went to the supermarket to buy something to eat (the cheapest market here is Kopijka).. and on the way back we lost other facies who new the way back so me Lara and Marina (MC RD) lost in one of the sleeping district of Moscow. I hate sleeping parts of Moscow as all buildings are the same, so if u don’t know the number of house u will never find it.
So we started to search about our building (without knowing what street do we need, what building number, even flat number or code), final we found some similar buildings that we have seen before. We might call to somebody but me and Marina forget their phones at flat ad Lara had mines 25 grivnas so she couldn’t call. So we were going by for half an hour with out any results, then the rain started ….. we stood at some pidjzd and were laughing about our self’s. Then real Thunderstorm started with the lightning and thunders, some men even allowed us to come insight the pidjzd. But after 1 hour we understood that nobody is searching for us we decided do not wait until the rain will stop and just go. The next trying was to scream near the windows of similar houses – maybe it’s ours – but It also didn’t work. Then we got another brilliant idea, it’s looked like flash mob – we decided to ask people about mobile to call rest facies – YRA!! It is worked, we found men that was so polite with us and gave the mobile to call (but for sure his girlfriend at that time was not happy, she was screaming on him almost all those 5 minutes we were standing together). He-he we did it!!! It doesn’t meter that facies were already working for 2 hour and we were still hungry we found the place!!!!
In the evening when me Lara and Riza was backing home we lost our stop so we spend in metro not 1 hour as it’s supposed to be but 1,5 J at the and we got out in the other site from metro so we were searching for proper way to the homeJ so this day I called LOSTING DAY
Stay turned

P.S just got to know today we will have to more people in our flat – 2 Turkish guys J

Сьогоднішній день пройшов під назвою День ЧЕКАНЬ
Все почалося зранку.......
10хв - чекала дома на сейф, який все ж таки привезли :) УРА!!! (локалка готується до перевірки КРУ)
25 хв - чекала на першу власну зустріч з навчальним партнером (після 15хв, я вже почала переживати, що попутала місце,я ж таке люблю, - але на щастя це не той випадок, а просто пробки на дорогах)
1 год. - чекала на лавочці на свого президента і фінансиста, щоб перереєструвати організацію, поки вони документи шукали..... (організацію ми так і не перереєстрували, але пів дня потратили)
20хв ,знову ж таки, чекала на президента - на цей раз щоб сходити в банк і зняти гроші (а потім ще пів години по банку вешталися від одного кабінету до іншого)
20хв - і знову чекала на прихід стажера, який тепер в мене жити буде до четверга :)
І того 2год 15 хв - я чекала на інших людей.. мдаааа

Ну ось знову сама дома..... а ще пару годин назад я сиділа в Репризі з Машенькою... а вчора дивилася Євробачення з найкращими друзями.... а дньом гуляла і говорила про життя.... а зранку працювала з любимою командою ..... а в в 'ятницю гуляла нічним містом, знову ж таки з дорогими мені людьми..... працювала з МОЄЮ командою.... зустрічала на вокзалі дорогого друга..... Хіба не чудесні вихідні???...... три дня щастя, що подарували мені інші :)
