I’m not cut out for unemployment

I’m not cut out for unemployment

I see that the last blog I posted was already 8 months ago!!! How did that happen??? I've had it in my mind to write so many times but somehow life just kind of got away with me. And this is probably not a unique issue: it's just as easy to stop exercising for 8...

‘Visszaválthatunk magyarra!’

‘Visszaválthatunk magyarra!’

Amikor elkezdtem blogolni, logikusnak, vagyis ésszerűnek tűnt, hogy angolul írjam a bejegyzéseimet, mert az ismerőseim jórésze (legalábbis Facebook-on) nem magyar nyelvű. Aztán láttam, hogy egy magyar nyelvű írásom mennyi embert volt képes elérni, megérinteni...

Monday, not my day

Monday, not my day

This wasn't a day I'm proud of... Starting off the day with forgetting about a meeting at 9 o'clock and arranging other things. Then jumping into it halfway through.  The rest of the day wasn't very productive either until about 16 o'clock when I managed to check...

Coffee and pancakes

Coffee and pancakes

It's Sunday which means pancakes for breakfast! I'm not sure why but once I woke up on a Sunday, I was feeling well-rested and lazy and I made pancakes for breakfast (actually, it's rather brunch time by the time we eat). This has been years ago and since then almost...

Just another 10 minutes

Just another 10 minutes

It's 11.11 when I type in the title of this post. Okay. So write for 10 minutes. Something should come out of if, even if it's just 10 lines. But everyday 10 lines, over a year 365 times 10 lines (I don't have a calculator on hand XD). Assuming of course that I will...

Just doing it

Just doing it

I think I start to understand the slogan of Nike: ''Just do it''. When I started with this blog last summer, I was planning to post at least every week. Before posting, I wrote down the blog in Google docs and have them proofread. I had a whole planning. The problem...

Corona sucks. But at least I started this blog.

Corona sucks. But at least I started this blog.

The year of 2020 will be for sure one of the weirdest years of our generation. Imagine that someone has been in a coma the whole year then when he wakes up in 2021 and asks: ‘How was your year? What did you do?’ - how will you answer? For many people this year feels...

Making a difference – the Rwandan experience

Making a difference – the Rwandan experience

This is an old repost from 2017. I wrote the below after having worked in Rwanda for a week and after 3 years, I still stand by my point. Especially now that I haven’t been able to visit this amazing place in almost a year. This is going to be a story of absolute...

Every girl needs her dad.

Every girl needs her dad.

It’s been 10 years… And I have never actually talked about my Dad to many people before. Not that people really ask actually. I have the feeling that they don’t dare to ask in order to not upset me. But it’s okay. They can ask. I’d love it if they asked so I could...

Happiness is a matter of perspective

Happiness is a matter of perspective

The other night I was watching an episode of Pewdiepie on Sushant Singh Rajput, a tribute to the Indian actor who was giving a speech about happiness. Pewdiepie usually makes funny review video’s but this episode was actually quite serious, nevertheless really nice....

Walk away (?)

Walk away (?)

Do you know the feeling when you finally stand up for yourself; present yourself vulnerable and honestly talk about what’s happening inside of you? Don’t worry, I’m not a big expert on it either. Outside of my family, I only did it once. In a work environment so it...

Get your priorities straight

Get your priorities straight

This blog is written during the Corona outbreak (Covid-19). Week 1 of isolation. There have been many posts and messages about the ‘spiritual message’ of ‘Why is this happening to us?’. And I’m going to join in on these messages. It’s amazing to see how we lost...
