Hello, oh ye few, but faithful readers, and welcome new ones You’ve been probably wondering where I was, or at least what happened to me since I kind of shied away from writing. What? You haven’t noticed? After 4 months? Or hey, maybe you have but didn’t know how to reach me and say “dude, [...]

Changing, yet not changing
Last week was crazy. First, it was the last week of teaching, as the session was approaching. Needless to say that the students were getting antsy about the upcoming exams (a feeling I was very well accustomed back in the day). Being the ultra cool teacher, I brought them candy, for 2 reasons – 1) [...]

I need the drama
Yes. I need the drama. There. I said it. Why on Earth would I need drama? Well you see, I have the ability (let’s name it a superpower for a moment) to get bored easily. I mean it takes a couple of minutes, tops. So I need drama to keep me moving. OK, not all [...]

Hungarian adventure – episode 5
The weather is changing. Until now we had beautiful sunshine, high temperatures but today that changed. The sky was overcast, and when I returned from the lecture it started raining. Now, I like rain, but mostly when I’m indoors, without an urgent plan of getting out of the house. Another downside, the low pressure gave [...]

On desserts
Anyone who knows me, knows I’m not a huge fan of desserts – chocolate (especially), cake (except the ones my Mom makes). Pudding seems to be the exception, something that Nana is well aware of – 6 words – Pizza Pub all-you-can-eat OK, I like ice-cream, but it’s not like a develop a crazy obsession [...]

Hungarian adventure – episode 4
What is wrong with me? OK, don’t start, it was a rhetorical question, and if it wasn’t, the list of answers to that particular question would be a mile long. I realized today that my obsession with traveling has decreased. Maybe it has to do with me being actually out of the country. Or maybe [...]

Hungarian adventure – episode 3
The other day I have decided not to post everyday because, frankly, there isn’t much information I can post, unless I do something cool like visiting the Holocaust museum, or eat at a Thai restaurant (which I’ll be doing soon and writing about it, just to make a few people jealous ). The first day [...]

Hungarian adventure – episode 2
After a tiring day I was ready to hit the sack, as soon as I took a well deserved shower to wash away the travel grime. When my head hit the pillow (and after some minor readjustment of said sleeping article – it’s very soft and I don’t like soft pillows) I fell asleep. Well [...]

Hungarian adventure – episode 1
My dear readers (few but precious to me)! As of now I am writing from my hotel room in Budapest. How I got here you ask? Well wonder no more, cause I’m about to tell you! Some while back (February that is) I entered a scholarship “contest” at the University I work at, and after [...]

Entertainment week with the parents
Wow, another week has passed. I am falling behind with my writing, but I have legitimate reasons (don’t I always )…After the Oscars passed and I did my little celebration dance, I was off to work, ready for the 12 hour “labor” that was thrown my way. All was fine until around 5 pm when [...]

The Dream
I was sliding down a sandy spiral, slowly and steadily. The sand was scratching my skin, got under my clothes, invaded every inch of the spiral. I knew that as soon as the spiral ended I would be falling for all eternity, with no chances of stopping, just like in the legendary Tartarus. I remembered [...]

Best. Pillow. Ever.
One of the things I loved about working in the US – besides getting a cool tan, earning money and sometimes drinking banana margaritas (Pedro’s you are greatly missed), was shopping at East Town Mall in Madison, WI (or Shangri-La as I used to call it). Now, there were 3 reasons I always went there: [...]

Returning to first loves
Yes, I’ve probably bored you with my excitement about reading. And with my Kindle. But now I’m going to talk about the *pause for dramatic effect* excitement of reading on my Kindle – you saw this coming, admit it Since today is another sore day, due to yesterday’s workout, I’ve decided to spend some quality [...]

Facing my demon – getting fit
For some time now I’ve been hearing the “oh, you gained a little weight” speech. If the person is really annoying I reply with “Thank you, looks like you too” but if the person is not getting on my nerves, I just smile and say “I know”. It’s true that for the past couple of [...]

The perfect job
What would be the perfect job? Enjoy what you do, go to work with a smile on your face AND get paid for it. Cool, huh? The perfect job for me would be travel writing, as it combines 2 of my passions – traveling and writing. Well, it’s easier said than done. It is extremely [...]

Traveling virtually
With the miracle we call internet, anything is possible – keep in touch with friends who are half across the globe, get updates on your favorite sporting events, get news and last but most certainly not least, SEE the world for the beauty that it is. Lately since I’ve been feeling under the weather, I [...]

Not knowing when to quit
We’ve heard it time and time again that quitters are losers. Depends on how you look at things. If you really want something but quit half way does involve a certain dose of fear. But when you have habits that are increasingly annoying, quitting is a must. These habits include: smoking in restaurants, chewing (and [...]

Welcome to 2011!
Well a new year has finally come. I look at New Years Eve as sitting on a fence – the past is behind you, the unknown future lies ahead. Excitement and terror alike play the hula-hoop in your mind. Christmas was fabulous for me – I got presents which in itself made the holidays great [...]

Post-Christmas post
Here we are, 2 days after Christmas. I am always a little bit sad this time of the month. I mean, since November, I can’t wait for it to be Christmas, then here it is, and after 3 days it’s gone. Gone is the festive holiday spirit, gone is the gift giving, gone is the [...]

Updates: iPhone, Glee and teaching
It’s been a while since I visited my little corner of the internet. Naturally I wasn’t sitting ducks, some hard work was involved. I started teaching again, this time my favorite part (Bacteriology – YEY!!!) to indifferent second year students . However there is a catch – this year I’m teaching students from the English [...]
