Random bubbly bubbles

What a cool title 😛

Anyway, has been a while since I last posted something, short summary of my life here:

  • I live in Amstelveen, again 🙂
  • I went to Italy to vote for the referendums, really happy we won, anyway on the flight back to the Netherlands an Italian-Belgian woman said that the economic crisis in Italy is due to “those Romanians and Albanians that come here and took our jobs”. So, a half win for this country. Damn man, they took our jobs!
  • Trying to get rid of Google more or less. I like Google but anyway, better to disseminate services around than to rely on a single entity, and I got quite pissed when they introduced the feature in Gmail that evidence the “important” mails; so I got into this daydream in which I write to the typical pub girl that I had met the night before and she does not receive anything cause Google thinks I am less important. Nice reading on the IEEE spectrum magazine: “How I Learned to Live Google-free“.

Nothing more to say for now. Bye 🙂

Student testimonial

Student testimonial

So, apparently I have been chosen as a student testimonial for the VU Amsterdam, with other students that look also way cooler than me, anyway I was glad to answer their questions cause I really enjoyed to study in “good old Amsterdam” 🙂

The “interview” can be found on the few website.

Si ngi sta li machine piss

Pescara, Italy. Not too south, not too north. Biking at home after a whole year in the Netherlands.

A red traffic light, isazi stops his bike to wait for the green light. A car at his left, with two person in it. Father and son, the kid being probably in primary school.

The kid looks at isazi and asks his dad: “Father, but you have to stop with the bike if it’s red ?”
The father answers: “If there are no cars, just pass.”

The Summer

The Summer

Still in good old Amstelveen, but this will be my last month here, it’ll soon be time to go back home. And then ? Oh, I’m planning to do many things next year, but you will probably hear something later on, it’s not the right time now.

Tonight the Netherlands will play against Spain in the final of the football world cup, and of course it’s raining here, after few days of an amazing sun. Probably I’ll be in Museumplein to watch the match, not a big football fan, but anyway, world cup finals are world cup finals 🙂

I will miss this place, but probably I will write something more sentimental about leaving the Netherlands and Amsterdam (and mostly all the nice people I’ve met here) in few weeks, for now I will just enjoy all the opportunities that this country is offering me, and will work on my master thesis (I should probably write something about it in the other website, but let’s wait a couple of months more…).

Paint it

Bye bye folks 😉
