We went, we voted and we waited for the results. Last night all the TV stations said that Mircea Geoanawon. They (PSD – Partidul Social Democrat) were actually celebrating last night. I was actually thinking “We’re screwed, the comunnists are back“.

I woke up this morning, got to work and I heard that Basescu won (from the radio stations). The TV stations are still saying that Geoana won. But, people are saying that the TV stations are lying (cause they are owned by people in the Democrat party) and they (PSD – Geoana) are trying to make things work in their way and that they aren’t relying on the actual voting results

And my question is: “Who the hell won the presidential elections?”

Geoana or Basescu?

This is really a stupid situation and I never seen such press manipulation before. And that just confirms my belief that you shouldn’t watch TV, it just makes you stupid.

Happy Birthday Romania and all of you Romanian people. Let’s all enjoy our birthday!!!

This marks the start of the December holidays in our family, as today is also my fathers birthday. Happy Birthday Dad!!! Cheers!

I’m not into politics nor do I enjoy talking about it. But it’s not something I can actually ignore, knowing that our life is ruled by people that don’t even care about us.

In a few weeks Romania will have a new president.

I’m pretty much sure we’re going down the drain cause we don’t have an “Obama” to vote for, not even someone close. After the fall of the Communist regime in 1989, Romania has been going downhill. We’re not progressing. We’re just going around in circles and after each circle things just keep getting worse.

The worst part is you can’t even trust the media to inform you about what’s happening. If you want to be lied in your face, just open the TV or read a newspaper. What’s worse, the media that is supposed to inform people about what’s going on, is making things up. Why? Because people that are into politics (and which have certain interests) have their own TV stations and newspapers. So it’s easy to see why you shouldn’t depend on the media.

• I hate the situation that we’re in now
• I hate the fact that there are a lot of miss informed people out there
• I hate the bribed people that come in and vote and after a year they start complaining that things aren’t going well (trust me there are a lot of them, including pensioners)
• I hate the stupidity in the country
• I hate wanting to vote and not having for who to vote for
• I hate the media for not doing what it’s supposed to do
• I hate the fact that there’s no one out there that could stop this vicious circle we’re been in the past 20 years.

Now, I’m wondering for what did those people died 20 years ago? Did they died for freedom? Or was it all just to get rid of Ceausescu just so others like him could take over?

In today’s newspaper, you can find a really small article (really small) about Top Gear coming to Romania on 22 September.

I’m a big fan of this TV show and I’m now even into cars. The article says:

The famous TV show from BBC, “Top Gear”, will be filming in the underground car park of the Palace of Parliament… on 22 September. The Top Gear stars will be filming for 3 hours and will be making demonstrations with 3 spectacular cars: Ferrari, Lamborghini and Aston Martin.

But that’s not all, after a little googleing, I found out that they will be filming in different locations in Romania. Now that’s awesome. I would like and autograph now! But I don’t even know when they will be coming in the country and on what airport. Must do my research first.

I think I’ll get a few days off… and maybe convince Johnny to take a few days off too.
