If all goes well, tomorrow is my last day at my current studio. I am very excited about moving to the new one. Internet won’t be up right away despite all my efforts. Hopefully it won’t be as late as last time (4 months). Electricity, gas and water should be ready when I move in.
The rental company tried to set a meeting for the check-out at their convenience. I refused and fixed my own time and my own terms. I do not regret much this place. I was not meant to stay here longer than required.

I like this bed I found on the internet.

The countdown has started and I cannot wait to be in my studio. Finally it is here! I also went to check the building yesterday and it is in the final stage. They have planted trees around the building and the parking is finished. I live near a huge park, I will try to take pictures when the summer comes and of course I will run inside.

Finally, the weekend is almost here (few hours to go). I finally transferred 2 of my characters to a more populated server. I am tired of our dying server. Each transfer cost 20 euros but it does not matter. I would just stop playing WoW if I did not do these transfers.
In 19 days, I will be moving to my new place! I am getting a bit excited. It is a good outcome from all the changes since a year and 8 months of work.
Two good movies just got released on IRC and I downloaded them:

I went to check my new studio last Friday. I am happy about it. It seems bigger than my current studio because of the positions of the bathroom/toilet which are on the same area and the rest is like a rectangular room. So it looks spacious!

This blood test shows if the virus (Hepatitis B) is doing any un-controled damages to my liver:
Here are the results:
Transaminases ASAT (GOT): 22 UL/L (normal 5-34)
Transaminases ALAT (GPT): 29 UL/L (normal 2-55)
The result is pretty much normal this year.

Hard to watch but worth it: Excellent movie.
I’m still looking for a meaning to my own life at the age of 37, maybe I need a reason to fight for it like the guy in the movie.

I am emerging slowly from my huge investment in 2013. I had to carefully budget everything. I should have about 2k in cash now. Even though I kept on paying about 1450 Euros per month for rent and mortgage. The rent will be reimbursed in the final payment for the studio as late fee.
Becoming an owner creates direct “auto” savings. I no longer need to save 1000 Euros aside. Part of it goes directly to my mortgage and is saving money. If I am lucky and the price of my studio increases in the future, I would make more interest from my investment. I shall see some return in 5 or 10 years. I no longer pay rent and I am very happy about it.

Three days after, another apartment got robbed. This time it was on the 3rd floor and they destroyed the door. The robbers stole also more stuff I heard. Nobody could believe what happened, especially 2 days after. Everyone is on high alert and we all talked about it a lot. We had policemen coming over 2 times.
I also met the new couple who moved in. They were on the same floor. It is again a mixed couple (black/white). They seem nice but i won’t stay long enough to know them.

Thieves broke into 3 apartments today between 15:30 and 18:00, I went to my parents’ during that time. Luckily, my place was not among these. Nothing expensive or important was stolen besides jewelries and perfumes. These thieves did not care about electronics/TV or more expensive stuffs. People immediately thought about the Romanian camps around the city. 3 months ago, some people broke into 3 cars in my street and stole nothing also. Sylvain (the mixte couple) and the new young couple were the victims in this building B (2nd floor) and they might have to pay around 110 euros for a new door lock.
Good tune!
