She organized a dinner and it was very nice, we cooked mexican food, it is the first time in long time I prepared something (well in fact Celine did all the cutting and I did mainly the moving the things while cooking thing)
Anyway it was my idea to make tacos and to mix the meat with philadelphia cheese, my mom used to prepare that, but I never knew how it is done, so we experimented a little, but at the end the meat with philadelphia was very good.
With the meat we made tacos, it was very funny how must of the people here in Belgium call the tacos, crepes.... also it was funny to see some people eating the tacos with a fork....
Anyway it is part of the cultural experience here in Belgium... Celine thanks a lot for letting me share your Bday dinner with you and your friends.
For the last 3 days my aiesec.net mail has not been working! It really sucks since if you send a mail to that account it says nothing about the message not being deliver, so I guess lots of people is contacting me now, waiting for a reply to a mail I never got and I might never recieve...
Well it really sucks, I feel like a part of me is missing without my mail, I know it sounds strange but I have become so dependant to the mail that with out it, it is hard to work.
Yesterday was one of the best days for theeXchange corner in Belgium
You might be asking why??
So here is why...
I put 8 TN on available (4 from ULB in Tech Team, 4 from LLN, 2 in Mckinsey, 1 CRM, 1 Arcelor)
We got 3 TNs match
We got 1 SN in Realized. Laurence SN from ULB started her internship in Cameroon
We got 2 new job descriptions that need to be put in the system (Bridgestone and Sony)
Besides all this I went to represent AIESEC in a meeting with the European Commission, the meeting was very interesting and the output of this meeting will be presented in a public hearing
So because of all this reasons, yesterday was one of the best days for eXchange in Belgium, the only bad point of the day is that I forgot to eat...
We currently have 92exchanges in our term... but we still need48 to reach our goal of140. So keep doingeXchanges
2 years ago I started my blog, I do not remember why I pick the 14 of February to start a blog, but I think it was a good decision... When I created the blog I never thought that in average 60 people per day will be reading my blog
This weekend we had our NATCO, it was a very nice conference. I think that our main objectives where achieved and we establish the bases to a great future for AIESEC in Belgium.
Also during the conference I had very interesting converstations with a lot of people. As I mention in some posts in the past I was loosing the passion for AIESEC conferences but after OPS in December the passion is back and I really enjoyed this conference. I still have around 3 or 4 conferences to attend during the end of my term and I am really looking forward for them.
This year the Colts will play the Bears, I am not a big fan of any of those teams, but I will like the Colts to win, mainly because I really like Payton Maning. He is one of the best quarterbacks I have seen and also he comes from my favorite College football team (Tennessee Vols).
Unfortunatelly no body cares about the superbowl here in Europe, last year I went to see the game in a sports bar but this year I will not see the game, the main reason of this is that I need to wake up early tomorrow morning and if I go to see the superbowl I will not sleep at all. Anyway I hope it will be a nice game and I hope that the Colts win :)
2 days ago it was the half of the MC term, time passes so fast....
Last year when I applied again to the MC, some people told me I was crazy and yes maybe I am a little to crazy, but until now I do not regreat of doing a second MC term. It is a very difficult experience because you are used to one team and one style of work and then suddenly from one day to another everything changes.
Well tomorrow is the start of the end of my life in AIESEC in Belgium, tomorrow is the vote of confidence for the MCVP for 2007 - 2008. I remember when I applied almost two years ago and I say it again time goes so fast...
I still have 6 more months to go and for sure lots of satisfactions and frustrations to come, but anyway I love my work and I will live these next 6 months with a lot of passion and energy :)
Yesterday I went to the concert of Shakira :) It was a very nice concert and I was almost in the first row, so it was great.
The concert was very good, I did not knew a lot of the new songs of Shakira, but she sang a lot of the old songs. Something that was very surprising for me is that a lot of people in the concert was just very relax and just hearing the concert, I can not imagine a Shakira concert in Latin America where people is just sitting listening, anyway that is the European culture.
Luckily we were standing up almost and almost in the first row and we were dancing and jumping all around. It was a very nice evening and I really enjoy the concert, I will like to go more often to the concerts.
