Time for celebration.

I am holding my EU passport. I did it. I got it. That is the greatest feeling in my life. Feeling I can share with the slaves that got a freedom. I got my freedom today. I can just get on a plane and go. I don't need invitations (unless I decide to go to Russia, then my mum should invite me as a guest from now on), proof of finance, visas, nothing. I can just go. And I can work anywhere I want. YYYEEESSS!!!!
I really need to celebrate that.

what has been and what will be

Finally I have decided to write something to the blog. Life is going so fast that it begins to give me frights.
If I begin to tell what has happened for the past 6 months it will take too long time...
But in short, what did happen last year...
I got a little girl,
I have changed work, sold an apartment, got a new one with a view to the sea, photos of which I still didn't manage to post...
I became a EU citizen, and while 'burning my passports on the dour-steps of the embassy', I have discoveret that I was not the only happy one, there were 2 other my former and my current citizens that were happy to get away from Russia...
I have visited almost half of the Europe, have travelled to Africa, have managed to get to 2 car accidents, but got into the mountains in Spain from the first time and managed to turn on the 1st (not the 3rd road) on a round about in Ireland.
I have managed to miss all the viokin concert of Davids in Denmark, the same applies to the parent meetings.
That is about all that I can remember from the past year. And now, it is 9 o'clock, and I need to get back to work, as noone has cancelled risk analysis, noone has canceeled currency backtesting. But my promotion has been cancelled and I have just managed to brag about that financial crisis didn't touch us....
Well, happy new 2009 year.

Press release "Citizen Dane"

And it did happen, believe it or not. 2 miracles in one day.

MIRACLE #1.
Get through to the Russian embassy after only 1 call.

MIRACLE #2.
The Russian government decided that I was not a valuable specimen for the former Soviet Union and I was released from carrying the "wrong" passport.(Which unfortunately for me results that if I ever decide to go to North Korea I would have to obtain a visa.)

Due to the confusion of the double citizenship for Miss Abby/Masha (in Russia she is a Dane, but in Denmark she is Russian), there are hopes that her case will be sorted out as well.

The older one was not affected by this event!

Smile

I just love my job. Above that I have been praised for my job and told that I am ambitions during my 3 months interview. On the 19th of December my future in the company will be decided and guess what… I think it will be for the best. And another thing… Morten is involved in that as well, but he doesn’t know about that yet.
And now I am going back to volatility smiles…. (financial thing, for those who don’t know that)

New job, exams, tickets...

Things are quite busy here. We have 3 more exams to go. One is done. 2 of them are oral and in Danish which will be fun. She we have been placed as the last ones on the list, I have to take both kids to the exam. Think about it, if I am on at 4, I can't possible make it to two different places in 30 minutes. And Morten is of to Christmas party right away.

Of ya, Morten, started at a new job, new once again. He is at FORCA (with s even that it says c). Seems to be pleased with his title, salary, responsabilities but not with the food. (I work for the place where they have the most healthy food in Denmark, healthy doesn't mean taste). And noone would ever amagine that he will work with finances.

I have passed 3 months at my current work. Going to have a chat with my boss tomorrow. I am in a quantitative risk analysis team and we develop ideas.

And the last news I guess is that I am going to Il Divo. I love opera and I am going to hear them singing pieces like Alleluah and Ave Maria in Copenhagen.

Crier la vie

David is 7, Abby is almost 1! Time just runs away...
I have learned to hold on to every single moment in my life while it hasn't slipped away.



All that we needed, was right
Les ombres ce soir nous menacent

Open to everything happy and sad
Seeing the good, meme si tout va si mal
Femmes au soleil quand la nuit nous accable
Oh, pour un jour croire aux dieux croire aux fables


Focus on everything better today
Crier la vie quand tout autour se tais
Hold on to people they're slipping away
Hold on to this while it's slipping away

All that we needed, tonight
Are people who love us, and life
Je sais les douleurs et les doutes
Oh, partir et ce qu'on redoute
Oh siiiii

Open to everything happy and sad
Seeing the good, meme si tout va si mal
Femmes au soleil quand la nuit nous accable
Oh, pour un jour croire au dieu croire aux fables


Focus on everything better today
Crier la vie quand tout autour se tai
Hold on to people they're slipping away
Hold on to this while it's slipping away

so long

Mais l'ombre...
