31 Days Challenge, Day 11 – My Thing

Everybody’s got a thing of theirs. I have many, I afford it.

And one of those things is collecting pens from my travels, pens from hotels where I stayed.

You know, usually hotels leave in every room a pen, a notebook, or stuff that has the hotels name written on them. Well, most of the people pick the shampoo bottles, but I like the pens. Until I figured out that I can collect them and keep them as memory, I used to use them and throw them out… So now my collection is pretty small but I plan for it to grow every year!

31 Days Challenge, Day 6 – Red and Blue Love

Red and Blue.

I cannot think of other colours when talking about football/soccer. FC Steaua Bucharest is what I knew from childhood, what my family has taught me. We used to get together to watch the matches and celebrate. I even used to paint my nails in red and blue for this!

I went on the stadium several times in order to support my fav team, I knew all their songs by heart and I loved their team. Even had a notebook made just for this.

I remember the time when I first saw a match, my first time on a stadium. I was in highschool and went with my and her friends. Steaua won and then we went celebrating, I was flying the flag outside the window car and felt so happy!

I even kept the tickets as memory, from that match and the others that followed.

I still am a fan of theirs, but as I grew up I understood how the footbal/soccer system works in Romania, and when I did, I was a little bit disappointed.

Despite all, I love my Steaua notebook and all the accessories I own – scarfs, bracelets, dogtags, slippers, etc.
