Today I've spent about half a day updating my blog (links to friends blogs!!), changing the template etc etc...come to think of it - is the whole blogging thing some sort of fashion, way to keep in touch, show up...or what?
It's definitely new and I'd say kinda trendy thing...yet I indeed appreciate that blogging serves as a link to many of my friends that I dont see so often these days!
What's fascinating is that I can sometimes be in conversation with my friends that I usually would not have! Like Peep's blog about his life there in Dubai etc...same about many other... in a way it's kinda like a door to (hm...dont wanna say 'a soul')..a door to the person (and personality) really!
Blogs often capture the uniquness of a thought at that moment...a thought that maybe otherwise wouldn't be said at all!
As you see from my own blog - I'm not particularly good at posting.
Yet it's been kinda magical day today - I've visited Dubai again through Peep's eyes, went to China with Triini, to Holland with Minnikas...dropped in Bangladesh and so on and on...and in the end of the day I'm happy :)
In particular about the fact that my friends are such great people!!!

New year resolutions
Some people say they dont like new year resolutions. In a sense that why having them for new years only, which all in all is just a random day in a calender (but with a symbolic meaning for a fresh start and new beginnings)...in regards of the latter, why then not make a resolutions for the sake of a fresh start, I figured ;)
I only have one actually - my new year resolution is to finally go on an AIESEC internship programme :). Small progress is already made - my form is available in Insight, I've actually told my boss at work about my plans already. And I'm actively searching for available internships at this very moment!
The difficulty with me is that I only want a job role that is about CR/SD, and these ain't too many laying around in the global pool. Well I'll keep on searching! I actually applied for one already - SD executive in Alcatel, France - but didn't get it. I was the manager 2nd choice as they later told me, my weakness being not speaking French. Oh well, I guess there must be something else in store for me then!! Yet, the job description for that one was exactly something I'm looking for!!
In general I'm not too much into the resolutions thing - but just wanted to make one, the most 'critical' in a sense :).
If I think back some years, I remember making the new year resolutions with friends. I recall having mine varying around AIESEC, university, friends&family, sports... Only the priorities were different at different times. AIESEC usually still came first :))) (that also explains my grades in Uni :D).
I hope to make that up now while doing a MA in Estonian Business School, except that now CSR activities have replaced AIESEC, leaving the studies still somewhat behind....heheh...all in all I didnt want to make any resolutions about that stuff. Have to graduate the MA anyways - so why make a resolution out of it! If I won't graduate this year, I'll have to start paying for it and I think that's a better motivator than having made a new year's resolution :))

an AIESEC addict forever
Addicted to AIESEC?! In my case - seems like it at least :))
It's been more than 6 years since I joined, out of that 4 yrs on MC/LC boards, since finishing my VPF term in 2004 have basically been engaged with CSR only in AIESEC.
Lately I've done some heavy browsing in @.net communitys for a crazy idea I had - to apply for LDS facilitator!! Well let's see if that plan will realize, but nevertheless - the whole thing has made a lot of great memories come back to me and as I was reading the MC blog and it felt like starting to fill in another MC application :))...Seems like the years only increase my fascination for AIESEC!
Passion, Drive and Effort for making things happen - Motivating - International - Leadership & Management experience - Friends across the World - and so much more!!
Ehh!! What a great place to be!!
I dont want to rank my friends as best and second best, but one thing for sure - these people I have worked closely together in AIESEC will be there for me forever and that's wonderful feeling!!
