The Return of The Dead
We could say so :)
This evening while sitting and relaxing in the bath tube (this in itself is already a miracle) full of hot water I had an extraordinary idea: What if I updated my long forgotten blog? :-)
I am curios how many of my old buddies would even notice it :-)
The truth is that I am baaadly behind with it but I have some great excuses. Life kept me bloody busy - especially the uni.
Every day the afternoons after work are completely full for me. Monday - Wednesday I hold trainings. Tuesday - Japanese class (yeah, I am a private student of a Japanese lady who teaches the language in Hungary. Pretty money consuming but I want to be able to communicate with the Hombu Dojo by the time I can go to Japan again -not more than 2-3 years hopefully- , so I must learn the language).
Thursdays either there is training at Istvan's dojo or meeting with bank advisors to discuss how we could take a loan for buying an apartment. Friday is preparing for the weekend classes at the university - Saturday and Sunday: 12 hours of teaching both days, with classes of 1,5 hours long and having 10 minutes of breaks between them. Quite hectic and exhausting.
Also, as I mentioned, we are in the middle of a flat purchase. Or rather at the beginning just yet. But we definitely need to move from our current place. Renting would be at least as expensive monthly as paying back a loan in monthly instalments. And the landlord can kick you off any time, while the same risk is not there when you are in your own flat. But the economy is currently in a very bad situation in Hungary. It is getting worse and worse, people are bitter and getting more and more desperate, so I would not be surprised if we would end up with a civil war in 2-3 years. How could we get this far?? Anyway - I am trying to prepare as much as possible.
This afternoon the good old Kungfu-Master Skyped me for a video chat for what I was pretty surprised, but it was very good to talk a bit, even tho he was clownish :-))) although it suits him very well :-)) I don't like overly serious men (and women), who themselves cannot turn into clowns every now and then in life. This kind of child-like open sense of humor is very much needed for a healthy mind, so that one can get over some of the major obstacles in life.
Anyway, the fact that he bought a new webcam made me think again - I wanted to get one since already long ago but I was always too lazy to go and find a good one... maybe it is really time to get one now. It would be so cool to videochat with mom too... she has a webcam but I don't have, so it's always me who can see her but she cannot see me. Not to mention my other work-contacts and precious friends ;-)
This week Csabi is attending a retreat in the meditation center so I am free (YAY!!). I really love freedom and cannot exist if I have too many chains around me.
Now that he is not at home I can sleep without the shutter and can wake up by the morning light and the birds' songs. There are a lot of thrushes living on the trees in front of the house that we currently live in.
I noticed that I can sleep better and can wake up fresher if I wake up by the natural morning light. Csabi cannot sleep at night if the shutter is not up - but then I cannot wake up fresh :) Now I can have a lil' break and actually sleep well at long last... :-)) YAYAY!
