Hello my name is "I am a busy woman"
I´m gonna upload some pictures from my crazy week, take a look at them in the upcoming post :)
Quality time with my brother...
To make the story short, Rikard is my halfbrother from my dads´side. For the first 3-4 years me and my siblings, my little sister and my little brother didn´t got the chance to see him as much as we wanted to. He lived in Romania until just about 1 year ago, and the relationshipo betweeen his mom and my dad was bad, and we also had some language issues, where we didn´t speak good romanian and he didn´t speak swedish. I prayed for so many nights to please take him to Sweden, he would have a better life here. And we could see him whenever we wanted too.... And yesterday was That day, when I felt that this is how it´s suppose to be. We spoke the same language, we were just like normal siblings, playing and dancing.
he just lost his two front teeth! haha so cute
This is Lady Gaga, I have to say, it looks alot like her :)
In action!!
I took a 40min walk home, it felt so good just to clear my mind. And in this beautiful area called Edsviken..
Please, do not take your family for granted. I was without my brother for 5-6 years, almost missed all of his growth... And I´m still in the same position with my other half brother Matteo, he lives with my dad and his wife in Romania, he´s 2 now, and I havn´t met him for 1 year... So go and hug everyone in your family NOW!!! :)
Ready...set.. match!!! I´m back on track!
When I was around 7 years old my dad put me in a tennis school. Because I wanted to. I started to play even more and more, the trainers saw that I was pretty good for my age, so they moved me a level higher. I remember my first trainer, Conny. He was death and stum. But he had sooo much heart! We all could actually understand him. He took me to tennis tournaments and I remember how much he supported me.
When I was around 10 I started to play with those who were 2-6 years older than me. I trained 5times a week + tournaments. At this time I started to feel the pressure even more... I was pretty mature for my age. I got in the puberty early and I was picked on for my body. And some if the girls felt the competition from me, so they picked on me even more. It was hard. I felt like an outsider. But I also knew that I was too GOOD to let it get to me. I had my teachers support, even some of the other parents support. They came to me after the training and gave me kind comments about my playing, and specially my serve. My best thing was my serve. I was strong. I served at 100km/hour. My way of playing was to have a good serve, and to have controll of the balls. I could place them wherever I wanted. I was not a fast runner though. But I saw how much potential I had...
When I was 12, I had started to compete even more. I traveled around Sweden, just a few times with the club. Once to Västervik, and once to Båstad. It feels like yesterday.. I remember almost Everything!!! I could write you a book about this, so much to tell you.. But one thing happend in Båstad that changed everything. My first game was against the Swedish number 1 in my agegroup. I lost the game and I was out of the competition. But I was there for a few more weeks to support my team, to train and to just enjoy the famous Tennis Båstad week. After that match, and after those weeks I just felt how much pressure I had, and how much more I´m gonne get, because I wanted to get better. My selfconfidence just burst. And the fact that I still was picked on made it even worse. I started to skip classes, came with lame excuses that my leg was hurt, that I had some study to do, that I was sick. And one day, I decied to talk to my teachers. We had a meeting, I remember it so well. We sat in our "team room" where we sat and waited for our turn to play a match (evert saturday we had a tournament within the team, to develop our gameskills. They sat infront of me. They knew what was coming. I told them that I started to worry about school, the money that my parents pay just to let Me play and so on (excuses, excuses...). They praied for me to stay. They tried Everything to keep me stay. But no, it was too much for me. When I left, I left with my heart in that room.
Ever since that day, tennis has haunted me. I have several times went to the tenniscourt, just to see people play. Just to hear the sound, the smell of the tenniscourt, and one day, for about 2years ago I saw my trainer, teaching a little girl. I knew this was it. I walked to the office and I saw my other trainer, Anders. When he saw me, he couldn´t believe his eyes. Two years, and there I was. I started to play again, but just for a term. And now, here I am again. 2years later, ready to play again!!
" I dont want to regret anything in my life. And I can honestly say that, if I don´t have tennis in my life, just for 1day/week, I know I will regret it... But everything happens for a reason, and if I didn´t quit tennis, I would Never, NEVER be the person that I am today. A succesfull photographer, a dancer, and this Felicia I am today. So in one way, I am happy that it happend. Yeah, I might not be the next superstar tennisplayer, but that´s okej..."

SHOCKING news!!!
- "Hello, is this Felicia Margineanu?"
- "Yeah... who is it?"
- "I´m calling from Green Card Lottery, we saw that you had applied but canceld your application.."
- "Yeah........"
SO first of all,
The USAGC Organization invites people to participate in the American Green Card Lottery in which you can win a green card to Live and Work in United States of America. And you have to have at least a high school education... I cancled my application just because I saw that you have to at least have a high school education. I have 2 more years in school..
She asked me about Why I wanted to come to the States,where I´d like to live, if I have friends or family over there, and if I ever been to the States before.
- I told her about my company and that I want to do photography services in the States. Mostly in Miami, but I wanna travel around and work. La, New York... I also told her about my young age and she said that that´s one of the biggest reason she called me, they want to HELP me!!
- "So you have 2 more years in high school, right?"
- "Yeap... And I´m planning to finish school, that´s my B plan!"
- "Perfect, We will send you a package with a DVD with more information about the imigration to The States. So you have a little time left to think about it but you give us a call when you´ll graduate, and we´ll take it from there.
WHAT´S THE CHANCE?!!!? First of all this is a lottery, there´s a quite small chance that YOU´LL gonna get the Green Card. And I CANCLED my application. But THEY called ME up?! Because they want to help me.. WOW... wooow......
haha one day maybe.. (im not born in Germany though, and im Not born 1970!)

Happy Midsummer!
For you who doesnt know what midsummer is, here´s some info;
Summer in Sweden is short. It starts showing its face in May and explodes into life in June. The summer has to hurry to get things done before the nights turn cold in September and everything stops growing.
Swedes like the world to be well-ordered, so Midsummer Eve is always a Friday. People often begin the day by picking flowers and making wreaths to place on the maypole, which is a key component in the celebrations.
The maypole is raised in an open spot and traditional ring-dances ensue, to the delight of the children and some of the adults. Teenagers tend to stay out of it and wait for the evening’s more riotous entertainment.
My midsummer was so funny! We went to my moms cousins place. He has two wonderful children, Ronja and Leo. Leo is my new bestfriend! He´s 3 years old and damn he´s funny!!! Well, there was alot of playing today; water war, jumping trampoline, swimming in the pool, dancing, playing guitarr and shooting with a big airgun!!
My brother and Leo are having fun
Liam and Leo are playing around in the pool
Me and Ronja :)
waterfight!
Leo is one happy boy :)
Im in action! and hey im pretty good at it! Look...
PAAM right in the middle!! :D
cool baby :)
Ronja wants to play the guitarr too...
rockin´with Leo and Liam
And damn, we ate alot. First we had some traditional swedish midsummer lunch with Jansons frästelse, sill (swedish fish), meatballs and potatos. After that we went down to see the Maypole and then we went back to the house. For dinner we had BBQ! And of course, don´t forget the dessert, homemade strawberry & cream cake! mmhmmhmm...
BBQ time!

i was walking through the livingroom and then I saw my reflection in the Tv.. " what the heeeell is that?!..." haha this is from my shirt.. I will NOT wear it again haha :D

Few seconds later...
Dude - "ehm, sorry we don´t light the candles. It´s summer now, we only to that during the winter!"
Me and Tash - Laughing!!!

I´m goin to...........
I´ve been to Miami twice before, in 1 year. 1 month in June last summer and 2 weeks in March. I´ve seen the flashy Miami downtown, South Beach and Ocean drive BUT I´ve also seen the backsides of Miami. Last summer I lived with a friend in Opa-Locka. Opa-Locka is one of the most dangerous areas in the WHOLE USA. Luckly I didn´t knew it while I was there. I saw a documentery about Opa-Lokca just a couples of months ago. There´s several murders every week and turists should NOT even take their foot there. Hahah but there was little me, I even walked by myself to the buss with my camera in my hand, taking pictures and enjoying the funny houses.
But I havn´t been to Opa-Locka since that haha, my friend who lived there studied music and he´s finished now.
Last time I was in Miami I went with my friend Martina. We lived in North East for 1 week and then we moved to my friend Pablo´s house in South East - more closer to Ocean Drive, South Beach and the places we really wanted to go to. Here´s some photos.. you can probably see for yourself what a difference Opa-Locka is to The Miami turists see...
Opa Locka
