How do you get ready for your birthday party?

In 2 day times I go a number of years old :) I did not prepared yet. My girlfriend is anxious to bake a cake, to organise a great party for us to feel awesome on the 16th of December. She makes delicious cakes and she has a vast variety of recipes in her head waiting to be cooked :). My friends are waiting for me to invite them and everyone who knows about this day will celebrate with or without me :))
Now, let`s talk about me: I came up to a point when my birthday party is not what it used to be anymore. You know, all that party in the club, at my house or at any other place, bar, pub, friends place, beach, sky-slope, etc. I am almost done with all of that. And I am not getting older, but I just want to spend quality time with her(my girlfriend) and perhaps with a couple of my close friends, but not necessarily on my birthday :).
I feel that we have to take it a little bit slow just to enjoy the ride, the life and the love that is around us....oh, and the dog Odri !!!
Just as I write this down, somewhere near me - at our place - THE LIST is coming alive. Yep, the list, that thing that you save on WUNDERLIST, the app, and in which I find things that I haven`t bought in a very long time. Like granulated sugar for the coating of the cake. I will receive one notification from the app and I will take may phone(not may credit card because I am paying with my phone) with me to buy everything on the list. I am not annoyed by the list, but by all the process of putting all together for one day only. And don`t get me started on the clean-up we do after :))
And we, men, like to take it easy and not make such a big deal of almost everything - that`s why we are not sensible, kind or gentle to them, most of the time :) - we have our issues to deal with!
But, after all the talks are done and we decide that we really want a big birthday party, I get down with it and buy all the stuff to get this party going.
Now, I am in that mood..and as a big boy that I am all I need to do is.....to wait for the list, to go shopping for a couple of hours, to spend a lot of time in traffic from shop to shop, to find a tobacco place to buy charcoals for the sisha, to go back to another shop because i did not find what it was on the list, to be happy,  to be well rested and efficient at work!

Still waiting for the list :)
....and while I have a few moments I want to tell you how I am paying everything with my phone. My bank, ING BANK, has one special feature, ING PAY. I think it is available in a large number of countries...

Kill the repeat button!!

You know that moment when you hear one song from your favourite artist that keeps you hooked pressing the repeat button?! Yeah, you know the feeling. That beat that keeps you smiling, that gives you a good vibe and you find yourself trapped into one 3 day loop playing that only one song :) He is a hip hop artist that it is trending big time right now in Romania. His artist name is Macanache, a boy from Bucharest who was really deep underground until a couple of years ago. He made the big step into the light, as I said, a couple of years ago with a funky fresh rap style. The '80s are back with this guy, you know, the real hip hop that got me hooked with this music industry.  In a good way, any way, I used to wear large clothes, bling, and a lot of hats and listened to Sugarhill Gang, Grandmaster Flash , Public Enemy , Run DMC , Rakim , Eric B, LL Cool J , Big Daddy Kane , N.W.A., Slick Rick and many many others. If you ever heard one of those real artists, it is impossible not to

Spoiler Alert!! Spoiler Alert!! Avengers: End Game!! Thor with a beer belly :))

Yuhuuuu!! I saw it! I saw it! It is incredible! This movie has it all!! Almost everything. You have to see it!! Pay the man and get a ticket for the next show !! I am using a lot of !! but still, it is amazing, with a very good intro, a veeery exciting plot and one hell of an ending!! - ups, another exclamation point :)) From the whole sadness in the world captured at the beginning of the film to some of the best action scenes you saw in the Marvel World, to the Marvel All Star Team . To some subliminal ideas from the feminist side - you will recognize the scene -  and until the end when everything changes in one way you would never imagine. Thanos , ohhhh boy!! This is one lucky evil enemy...until the end...where he is still fighting with all his army and barely holds on and puts on the glove again...Yes, he is getting it back but the main lady character from Marvel - and the newest one comes into play and just makes it to save the day. The title of this post looks like clickbait,

Revolut, this one app that can handle your money without taxes? Really?!

I do not want to present Revolut  because it seems that everyone knows about it. In Romania there are over 100.000 users . I heard about it from my friends that are already huge fans. I am happy with my bank that I am working and I think that everything Revolut does, my bank does it better 😊 What is Revolut ? Just google it and you will find a tone of articles. I am just sick and tired of this topic. I just want to get it out of my system 😊 So you download and install the Revolut App and you are done. So they say… But really, there are costs, more or less hidden, once you go on with your account opening you find out more and more. The first and the most “important” thing that  Revolut  does is…guess what… the national bank exchange rate!?  What?  I am laughing my ass of right now, again, because I know people that use  Revolut  and did not once used this option…because they do not travel abroad!!!! And once you go abroad you have to be careful to use the local currency, not
