Two very important and happy events for me :)

Now I'm in Pécs again!:) My afternoon was quite good because I spent it with my family and I talked to my friends too! My journey towards Pécs was very good because fortunately one of my girlfriends came back to Pécs with the same bus so I wasn't bored.:)

The first event is the Freshers' Ball of the BTK-TTK-FEEK (Faculty of Arts, Faculty of Natural Science and Faculty of Human Resources Development) which was held on the 20th of November in the building of POTE (Faculty of the Medical Sciences at the University of Pécs). I went to the ball with 5 friends (Timi, Dalma, Anett, Dani and Gegi). Before we went to the place of the ball we had had lots of fun in the flat I live in with Anett and Eszter (unfortunately she had become very ill the day before so she had to stay in bed). This picture was taken there. We were so 'sexy' because we wore evening-dresses, colorful socks and carpet-slippers as you can see.

In front of the entrance I met my groupmates (one of them was Évi Balázs who is my goupmate on Maths and English lessons, too) at 11 pm. During the evening I met lots of friends and people with who I have good relationships. And as we always do we got to know interesting and kind people there. We danced, sang and laughed a lot. Some photos were taken there and I will show 2 of them. These pictures were taken by a party photographer who belongs to my fellowship.:) On the first picure you can see me with Ádám and Kata who are my groupmates in Maths. On the second picture you can see me and István who is one of my groupmates in English.






























I arrived home at half past 4 am and went to sleep at 5 am. I got up at 11 am and fortunately my lecture was cancelled because the teacher wasn't in Pécs. I was really glad about it!:)

The second event was my birthday on the 28th of November. I had told my friends to meet in the Árkád at 7 pm on the 27th of November. We started to do some shopping but one of them called Kriszti said we had to go to the Szántó Dormitory because she had ordered a perfume for his boyfriend and one of our groupmates could buy that. That was very suspicious because she had said that last Christmas she had bought perfumes for her family members and her boyfriend too and she would have liked to buy them something unusual. I knew that they had planned something. My groupmates on Maths surprised me: they had bought a cake and when I entered the room they started to sing 'Happy Birthday'. I was really surprised!:) I really love them but I had never thought that they would celebrate my birthday with me. We danced and sang a lot.:) I arrived home at 4 am.

On the 28th of November I went home to Igal where my family waited for me with cake and a bit of firework. I was very surprised especially when my best cousins visited me and gave me gifts. Everyone looked at me as a grown woman because I turned 20. That was very fantastic!:)

I hope that everybody celebrates their birthday like I did because I was very happy when so many people thought of me!:)

Well I have to go to bed now because I have a Kombinatorika lecture at 8 am.:S

Good night!:)

Some like it hot... Part 2:)

I started to watch 'Some like it hot' (starring Marilyn Monroe, Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis) on the 30th of September in scope of Reading and Writing Skills course with my groupmates and our teacher József Horváth in the American Corner in 9, Mária Street in Pécs. We hadn't had time to watch the second part of the movie before because of the required and the obligatory exercises and activities of the course. But fortunatelly on the 18th of November we had one session of RWS course there and we finished watching that movie. That was a really funny and interesting session!:) We had a lot of fun on 'Some like it hot' so I recommend it to everybody!:)

After the movie we had a very strange and interesting exercise called five-finger exercise. Its name is funny and surprising too! We had to work in small groups or alone (as the fancy took us). Everyone got a paper short sentences on it and there was an example to help us how to do the exercise. We had to write sentences with one of those 3 but not on a common way!! I was in one group with my four groupmates. We passed around our papers and everybody wrote one word or more into the standard sentence which was written by the previous person. So short stories evolved which consisted of only 1-1 long sentence. And at the end of the session everybody had to read out their own stories.

My chosen sentence was 'Julia came to the balcony.'.
And in the end we got something funny which, in my opinion, is not grammatically correct :
'Last morning I was having a really delicious breakfast and glanced at the beautiful Julia who came to the large balcony, wore blue trousers and black T-shirt and she was very cute in her way.'

I really enjoyed that lesson!:) Now I have to go to have lunch with my family because I'm at home in Igal now!:)

Cherrio :)

Interesting books and some of my favourite songs

I have a really kind friend, the Bird alias Orsi who recommended me some interesting books. And after I had taken them in my hand, I could have taken them down very hardly!:) I have already read 'The Dark Champion' by Kinley MacGregor and one part of a novel trilogy called 'Key of Light' by Nora Roberts. Orsi lent them to me a few years ago and I really liked them. I think Kinley MacGregor and Nora Roberts are very good authors and I would like to read plenty of books by them.

Fearless men, their allegiance is to one another, to the oppressed, and to the secret society known as the Brotherhood of the Sword - and they must never surrender to the passionate yearnings of their noble hearts. A Lady of Love Beautiful, peace-loving Rowena knows that Stryder of Blackmoor is a warrior, and is therefore a man to be shunned. But something burns in the eyes of this powerful knight that she has never seen in others of his kind: a tenderness, and a need to love and be loved. Yet to enter his world would be madness - against every principle by which she has lived her life - so she must resist the yearning that would draw her into his arms. A Man of War Duty bound to battle for right, Stryder has never desired the comforts of home and hearth - until he gazed upon the exquisite face and form of the incomparable Rowena. He dares not succumb to her sensuous charms, for Stryder is a man sworn to know no love. But when treachery and danger threaten, the noble knight must stand as the unsuspecting lady's champion - though his actions could cost him his honor, his heart. . . and his forbidden dream of happiness.

I think this is a wonderful book about love, passion, fight against themselves and the people surrounding them. This book is action-packed so I wasn't bored at all. But I can recommend it not only for women!:)

This is thee first novel in the all-new Key Trilogy. Nora Roberts invites you to unlock your dreams... Three women. Three keys. Each has 28 days to find her key and way through a dangerous quest. If one fails, they all lose. If they all succeed, money, power and a new destiny awaits.
Malory, Dana and Zoe are three women that live lives that have never crossed in the same small Pennsylvania town. Malory is the head of an art gallery, Dana is a librarian, and Zoe is a hairdresser that is also a single mother. The three women are brought together by Rowena and Pitte, two mysterious figures that live at Warrior's Peak. They are told that they are linked to three demi-goddesses whose souls are locked in a box by the evil sorcerer, Kane. Only Malory, Dana and Zoe can free the souls of The Daughters of Glass by each completing a quest for a specific key to unlock a lock on the box. If each of the three women completed their individual quest, the Daughters would be freed and each woman would receive $1 million each.

I adore this kind of stories because I believe in lots of things which appear in this book. But unfortunatelly most people don't give credence to those things, in spite of the fact that they could me true. I can recommend it to everyone who likes sci-fi, mysteries, excitements or something supernatural and miraculousness.:)

One of my favourite songs is 'Say my name' by Within Temptation. On youtube.com I found a clip which is in connection with this song and one of my favourite movie called 'The Mists of Avalon'. I was really happy then. (If anybody has the last mentioned movie, please send me an email! THANK YOU!!:)) This is the best copulation I suppose.



I really like the lyrics of this song! This is the link if you want to inspect it:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oLU-Y81wjCQ.

The other song I like too is 'Broken' by Seether feat Amy Lee. It has a really painful lyrics but I listen to it everyday.

The Lyrics of 'Broken':
'I wanted you to know I love the way you laugh
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain away
I keep your photograph and I know it serves me well
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain

'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away

You've gone away, you don't feel me, here anymore

The worst is over now and we can breathe again
I wanna hold you high, you steal my pain away
There's so much left to learn, and no one left to fight
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain
'Cause I'm broken when I'm open
And I don't feel like I am strong enough
'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away

'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away

You've gone away
You don't feel me here anymore'

I hope you enjoyed this article about my favourites and the flight with my soul. It's me...:)

Now I'm gonna sleep because I'm so tired at the moment...

Good night and have good dreams!

Cheers :)

My interesting and tiring last 2 weeks...

I really enjoyed my autumnbreak because I had a lot of fun with my friends and at last I could be with my family. I missed them because I hadn't been at home for 2weeks before the break. I went to the Hospital of Kaposvár to my grandmother three times because she has problems with her knees. But I enjoyed staying at home and talking to my parents, my brother and my grandmother. And I met several times with my friends too!:D

But I had to learn a lot because last week I wrote 3 tests ('ZH'). :s I hope each of them was successful. Because of one of these tests I had to miss the last RWS session.

During my Autumnbreak I read a few articles from different editions of Entertainment Weekly which were funny and interesting, and were about famous people (singers, actresses, actors, politics, etc.) and the newest movies, series, books and music (songs and charts). I really like this magazine (EW) because when I first read one issue I laughed a lot and got plenty of new informations (and all of them were in English so I could practise English too:)). Here is a bit foretaste from the articles I have read.:)


The first is about a movie which has piqued my attendance. I will watch this film if I can do it! I think it can be cruel and this film deals with a common problem: violation in the family.

'Movies

+ Nearly two years after its inauspicious Sundance premiere, controversial Southern gothic drama Hounddog (otherwise known as ''the Dakota Fanning rape movie'') is finally hitting theaters on Sept. 5. The film — in which Fanning stars as Lewellen, an impoverished, Elvis-obsessed girl violated by a local teenager — left the festival in January 2007 with no distributor and plenty of hits from critics. ''It was painful,'' says writer-director Deborah Kampmeier, who calls that version ''a work in progress. We were rushed to get ready for Sundance. Afterward, I was able to go back in and choose [stronger] takes. Fifty percent of the film is different now.'' Kampmeier also trimmed the rape scene and cut creepy footage in which Lewellen's father (played by David Morse) crawls into bed with her. ''Every single moment needed to support the story,'' Kampmeier says. ''If something wasn't working, then I had to take it out.''
+ Ron Burgundy fans, rejoice! It looks like Will Ferrell and Adam McKay, the brains behind Anchorman, are ready to put sexist, freewheeling newscaster Ron Burgundy back in the anchor chair. McKay tells EW that he and Ferrell have begun work on a sequel that could jump ahead a decade to the '80s. (We can see it now: Ron discovers hair mousse.) DreamWorks says it hasn't yet talked to the duo, but that doesn't mean Ferrell and McKay aren't dreaming up inappropriate new plots. ''The audience will now allow us to do even crazier stuff,'' says McKay, ''and that's really all we're looking for in our careers.'' — Missy Schwartz and Nicole Sperling, with additional reporting by Carrie Bell'

The second movie is about 'Mamma Mia!'. I watched that film in the cinema at the end of last summer and I laughed a lot on the poems of the movie!:D

'It's tempting to say that Mamma Mia! has the worst choreography of any big-screen musical in history, though that would imply that what happens in the film is choreography. The dorky flippered snorkelers who high-step down a sunlit dock to ''Lay All Your Love on Me,'' embarrassing as they are, can at least be accused of dancing. But most of the film's numbers consist of Meryl Streep, her two fello

w feisty broads (Christine Baranski and Julie Walters), and a handful of other actors who can sort of sing cavorting on beaches with happy amateur glee, as if it were the first day of rehearsal and the director, Phyllida Lloyd, had tried to tune everyone into the ecstasies of ABBA by declaring: Let yourself go! Create your own dance steps! Feel the music! The film's lighting isn't much better. The Greek island where Streep's character runs a cozy-shabby hotel looks about as magical as Fort Lauderdale, and Streep has red-rimmed eyes even when she's not weeping with joy. The flat, stark too-brightness exposes that what we're watching is a piece of kitsch so syrupy it's like a lethal overd

ose of baklava.

And yet...there are the songs. If Mamma Mia! didn't have the delectableness of ABBA's music — those percolating disco-pop arias of romance Bubble Wrapped in melancholy — we could toss it onto the trash heap of Hollywood musical follies, right up there with Xanada and Paint Your Wagon. But Mamma Mia! offers a sublime song every five minutes or so (''Money, Money, Money,'' ''Dancing Queen,'' ''Super Trouper''), and it is also, to be fair, far from unaware of its tacky coyness. On stage, the stor

y of a girl who invites her mom's three ex-lovers from 20 years ago to her wedding — all to learn which one is her father — is vapid, but exuberantly vapid. It works as a delivery system for the joy of ABBA's music. The film, with its bland travelogue visuals and big-name mugging actors (Pierce Brosnan, Colin Firth, and Stellan Skarsgård, as the daddy suitors, compete to see who can shed his dignity the fastest — Firth wins by a nose), is too realistic. Lloyd, who directed it on stage, hasn't found an equivalent to the show's stylized sincerity.

Amanda Seyfried is adequately sweet as Sophie, who craves — in addition to a father — a princess wedding. But as Donna, the free-spirite d, second-wave-feminist mom who asks her two gal pals to the event, Streep is trying so hard to get off her pedestal, to play a woman past all glamour, that she declaims every line (even when she's croak-singing), like a sailor on a bender. I never thought I'd see a film in which blowsy Christine Baranski is the most restrained person on screen. Yet let's give Mamma Mia! credit: It's bad in so many ways, yet you can't say that these ladies lack spunk. Their what-the-hell moxie lights up the first girl-power musical to target girls over 50. (And just wait until Pierce Brosnan warbles ''S.O.S.'' You'll laugh. And then you'll be charmed.) I won't really defend Mamma Mia!, but I will recommend how to watch it: Just stop rolling your eyes and listen.'


I looked for interesting books on Google Books and I found some interesting books I'm interested in.:) I like Nora Roberts's books and I found a lot of books by her!:)

I will write much more about books soon in the next chapter...

I'm going to bed now because I'm so tired and I have to get up early next morning!

Have a good night and a nice day for tomorrow!!:D

The week before Autumnbreak

Last week I took 2 tests ('ZH') at the uni, one on Monday was from Geometry practice and the other one on Tuesday was from Kombinatorika practice. The first one wasn't so difficult I think but the second one was really difficult. I hope that each of them were successful.

On Wednesday evening I went to stomp with my friends to 'Sörház' ('Beerhouse'). We made some photoes in the Witch Dormitory because some of my friends stay there during the week and that is the nearest place to 'Beerhouse' where we can meet and discuss what happened to us since our last meeting. And we gained 'Beerhouse' approximately at a quarter to Midnight. I met some classmates from Mathematics BSc. We enjoyed the party very much and I arrived home on Thursday morning.
I can recommend 'Beerhouse ' to everyone who likes dancing and getting to know other people in our age bracket. They are very friendly. :)

On Friday I started on my journey to Igal. I got on the 4:20 bus to Kaposvár with 2 friends of mine. That bus goes through Sásd and because of it we have to come through Mecsek. We started on our journey but on the Mecsek there was an accident and we had to take a roundabout way toward Komló. So my way home lasted a half an hour longer. I missed the bus connection to Igal and I had to wait one hour at the bus station but the weather was so cold for me. Also instead of 7 pm I arrived home at half past 8 pm.

That yourney was horrible, boring and tiring. Well my autumnbreak started very interesting (of course not in a good sense).

Oh, my God... Time has gone away so much!:S I have to go to bed!

Good night and have a good time! Bye :)

A really busy week

Last week was very busy because I took a special course called Balcan in the Screen with one of my friends from the group of PTE10%. I am really interested in History and I wanted to know much more about the Balcan.
These lectures were given on different topics between 11 am and 3 pm from Wednesday to Saturday with a few minutes breaks. On Wednesday we had 3 lectures but on the other days we had 2-2 longer lessons. We have to watch new Balcanian films and choose one of them. I have to write an essay on a Balcanian film in 10 pages and send it to the offical responsible teacher for this course until the 15th in November.

I have already chosen 'The living and the Dead', a warlike croatian film. This movie started at 7 pm on Friday in the Apollo Art Cinema.
It has a really bloodstained history because everybody dies before the end of the film. The events run on two parallel threads, one of them is in Bosnia in 1993 (the movie starts in this time) and the other is during the World War II in Bosnia too. In the end of the film these 2 threads are closely linked on the Field of the Graves which is a bit morbid I think.
I recommend this film to everybody who likes blood, cruelty, brutality or warlike films.

And last week I met my friends as often as I could. On Tuesday and on Wednesday I only slept just 3 or 4 hours because I had to meet my friends (I had promised them before). We went out on Tuesday evening. And I went back to my friends to the Szántó Youth Hostel where I lived in the last two semesters. We laughed very much and after I had gone back to the flat (I stay) I went to bed at 4 am.

So I wasn't bored not at all last week!:)

I have to go to school now because I will write a 'ZH' from Geometry.

Have a nice day!

Some like it hot

Hi everybody!

This is my first blog which is a homework for a class at the University of Pécs, called Reading and Writing Skills. I'm really excited because I have never made anything like this. I hope you would like this blog and write comments and stories here.:)
I would like to share funny stories, experiences and thoughts with You.

On the 30th of September I watched 'Some like it hot' in scope of Reading and Writing Skills Course with my classmates and with our teacher whose name is Joe Horváth in the American Corner in 9, Mária Street in Pécs. I had never seen that film before but I really liked it because this film is very funny. So I can recommend it to everybody who likes laughing and joke. The protagonists are Marilyn Monroe, Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon. Unfortunately we couldn't finish the film because we didn't have enough time but Joe offered us we will be able to go back to the American Corner in a lesson to finish watching 'Some like it hot'. :)

Now I have to go to school because one of my lessons is going to start in a half our and I will arrive home approximately at 6 pm.

Have a nice day!:)
