If you read this post you might be wondering what’s up with that USA flag in my office? Filip, I thought you are Romanian. Well, that means you did not read my old posts from this blog. You might start from this post called “Why we’d like to move to the USA?” and you’ll get...

Family & Personal#visa#usa
This week the Diversity Visa 2023 just opened. We did not apply yet, we still have to make good photos for all 4 of us, but we will most certainly apply for the second year, the second try. This year we’ll submit two applications, one for me as the main applicant and one for my...

One of the things that annoy me the most is when we visit a shop, no matter if it’s big or a smaller neighborhood one, it that anyone is suspected of being a shoplifter. Have you ever experienced this: you visit a small shop, maybe one in your neighborhood… and exactly where you’re looking for...
Starting today, I’ve challenged myself with something new: #writeDaily. I want to develop a new habit of writing something daily, either publicly or in private, just for me. If you go right now on the homepage, you will see that I’ve published two statistics for this challenge: my best streak, which is the highest number...

Family & Personal#writeDaily
Does this happen to you: you hear a song somewhere that you really like a lot and you want to share it with your friends? The problem that I usually encounter is that right after the song you share you hear a new one that you like even more and you want to share it...

Family & PersonalShort ones
There are moments in my life when I become nostalgic. Those moments primarily appear when I rediscover a thing from my past that brings back memories. Some of these moments appear when I visit my parents’ house where I lived for 20 years. Some of my things are still there and some are even in...
I love watching a good Marvel Cinematic Universe movie, who doesn’t right? I remember back when we had no kids I started watching Iron Man and that day I convinced my wife to watch it with me too, all 3 of them. Marvel is so cool, but I am wondering if there is something from...

Family & Personal#marvel
Earlier this month I bought a DJI Phantom 3 from a friend. He was not using it so I made him an offer. The problem with the drone itself is that it fell off and hit a tree or something like that, and the Phantom 3 series is very fragile around the area of the...

In this period together we are studying with a group of friends a course about personal and family finance from Crown Financial Ministries. It covers aspects from Bible as it is made by a Christian organization, but has some really strong ideas everyone can implement, regardless of the religious beliefs. The companion book for the...

One year later after this post was written, in 2022 I tried again to get hired at Automattic and failed again. Read the new article here, a more transparent and sad post about the hiring process. Just the closest friends of mine might know this, but over the past ~2 months I’ve been offered a...

Well… it’s a lot harder than you’d think! It is the very first time we are applying as a family for the Diversity Program to get a green card in the US. I applied as the main applicant and added my wife Catalina and two sons on the applications as well. We might have had...
We started timidly, with low hopes but confident that if it's God's will, one day we will move to the United States of America.
We participated in the visa lottery for 4 consecutive years and on May 4th,
2024 we found out that we were selected for a possible immigrant visa in 🇺🇸.
We owe everything to God, He will help us until the end.

You have really presented this well. Are you going to let Xarthisius publish this on his website?
Hello Filip, Sorry for not replying earlier My number is 2024OC22xx.
Nice. I like the breakdown format that you have done here. Really informative. Are you going to be allowing Xarthisius…
reserved. Do whatever you want, it's a free country.
