Memories of Father

I was supposed to meet my father at my grandma's on the Saturday after my birthday. Well, he told her that because I didn't reply to his message, he wasn't coming. My grandmother was harassing me over it. I told her I didn't write back, because it was a simple text, he didn't call, and I was going to meet him anyway, so why reply??? Anyway, don't care, though it was very uncomfortable. They kept going on and on about it. I figure it was because he had something else scheduled, and would rather meet his friends than me. It wasn't the first time. Appearances have always been more important to him than me. He never asked me what I wanted for my birthday, or if I needed help with something, or anything really. I was always someone to be dragged around for his girlfriends and friends, to show off. I never felt that he actually wanted to see me. We haven't seen each other since, and he doesn't say he doesn't want to see me, but it is implied. Not ...

2013 and a recap of 2012

Image
My neck problems got better, but not perfect. I often have neck pains. I got a neck pillow for work, and always try to make sure to not to strain my neck, or not move it for a long time.  Well, December 21st, 2012 came and went, and the world didn't end. Weird. :D I started doing Zumba in November, and going to Flabelos. I'm determined to get back to 58kg. I first cut back on my food, and then I cut out dinner. Well, not completely cut out, because some evenings I'm just too hungry. At the start of December I caught the flu. It took me two weeks to get a bit better, but my stomach was still feeling bad, and my energy level was terrible. There went my weight loss for a whole month. I only really got better at the start of January. I got back to Zumba and yoga. However, one day I tried to eat really little, and I got really dizzy at Zumba. I ate too little. The weather was nice at that time, until I went for two weeks to mum's at the end of February. The weat...

30

Image
Turned 30 today. Spent the day in Zalakaros in a hotel. It was a lot of fun. We told the staff that I had a birthday, and the owner was informed as well, so mum and I got our massages at half the price. We spent the morning getting pampered and enjoying the jacuzzi. After a nice lunch we went on a walk to the lookout tower. We got a bit lost on the way, but mostly because someone fenced off a portion of the road. The neighbour helped us get around. I was a bit scared for mum, because her heart was hurting a bit, but after some rest she got better. The weather was fantastic. It did rain the day before, but the sun was shining for my birthday. After going up on the ladders to the top of the lookout, where we saw the Balaton at a distance, we went down and had some wine at a restaurant below. We walked back and stopped for ice cream at a confectionery. In the morning I did get a lot of happy birthdays on Facebook. My grandmother, uncle, and cousin all called. My father sent ...

XVIII. Szegedi Borfesztivál

Image
Már az első fesztivál óta járok a Borfesztiválra. Szegeden felnőve láttam amint először csak pár napig tart, majd egy hétig, mostanra már 10 napig. Ez nem csak azért jó, mert így többször ki lehet menni, hanem azért is, mert az elején igen gyakran volt, hogy pont azon a pár napon romlott el az idő. A fesztivál a főtéren, a Széchenyi téren van. Fa bódékba pakolnak ki a különböző bor árusok. A legtöbb pesti hasonló eseménnyel ellentétben nincs belépődíj. Elég nehéz is lenne, mivel egy teljesen nyílt területen van. Ezt igen okosnak találom. Régebben, amikor még Szegeden laktam, előfordult, hogy hazafelé menet megálltam valamelyik árusnál egy pohárka borért. Az idei Borfesztivál már egy egész ünnepség sorozat része. A Klauzál térre, ami a sétáló utcán, a Kárászon van, Gasztroudvart szerveztek és egy színpadon is különböző zenei programokat lehet megtekinteni. A jövő hétvégén pedig a Dóm téren Haditábor lesz, ahol a hadviselés történetéről tudhatnak meg dolgokat az é...

III. Kézműves Magyar Ízek Vására

Image
A vásár Millenáris Park nagy csarnokában került megrendezésre. A hangulat kellemes volt a tömeg ellenére. Bár valahogy jó is a tömeg. Öröm azt látni, hogy ennyi ember érdeklődik a magyar termékek iránt. Először körbe jártam. Több helyen lehetett kóstolni, bár nem olyan sokan, hogy az ebédet pótolja. Így az első kör után leültem a színpad előtt egy tál szürkemarhás gulyással cipóban. Pont jókor, mert  Borbás Marcsi beszélgetett  Vinkó Józseffel, a Magyar Konyha című újság főszerkesztőjével. A múlt héten fedeztem fel a lapot és nagyon tetszik. Végre nem egy recept újság, hanem egy gasztronómiai lap. Ekkora már megtaláltam a standjukat és be is szereztem két ingyen példányt. A férfi is nagyon szimpatikus volt. Abban emlékeztetett magamra, hogy ő is sok mindenről tudott beszélni és emiatt néha elfelejtette, hogy miről is akart beszélni. Főleg az alapanyagok fontosságáról volt szó és a Magyar Konyha  céljairól. Ezután ismét felmentem az emeletre. Már kor...

Neck problems

I've been having a terrible neck and headache for over a month. On Tuesday I felt that my feel of my body was compromised. It happened as I was going to work and I felt really bad. So it was a lot of commotion at work and a colleague took me home. Gizi got me an appointment for Thursday with a doctor. My neck and head are still bad. I'm having a problem with turning my neck as it hurts and sometimes I feel the loss of sensation again.  We'll see tomorrow.

Warmth in January

Image
Today I went to look for a new coat. I'm trying to find something not as fancy as my fur coat. While on the street, I saw some buds on a bush. It was rather warm, I didn't even need gloves. I did get three caps in different colours. Really cute. We ate at a pizza place. It was good with a nice seasoning and it was even at a 50% discount.
