Logga in!

It not a difficult task to figure out what does the title mean. Thing is, that I think it sounds so funny, like some weed-smelled Jamaican order, with some reggae background music. Logga-logga! :)

I am a big Moleskine fan! In the last 3-4 years I am always using a calendar from that brand, since it is very elegant, has its reputation and very practical to use. However, it is not at a price level like those freely-distributed crappy student calendars with an ad on every 2nd page... But still, in Sweden it can happen, that the density of moleskine-calendars within 1 sqm reaches 3! Here we go here is the photo, from this morning's Service Contract Management lecture, the two Swede girls showed up with those Moleskine items!

The other day I was in the bathroom, taking  a shower, and since the age of 20 I cannot live bathroom life without having a radio :) . There is no bathroom without music at all! So, it was some commercial (hundrafemkomenio: ) and as far as I got it it was some flying and traveling. Than, suddenly, like summer storm lighning, the familiar music from the Hungarian Airlines started up, and I got frozen for  while. Wtf, here, in Sweden, they invest in advertising. The last part of the spot mentioned even Budapest. On the whole it was strange. That music, is like built in in every Hungarian's memory, from childhood, lots of us use as ringing tone, and so on. I guess each culture or nation has something similar.

Some related media:

(relavant part of the music is from 0:22)

Actually sometimes still nice to fly with them. Last summer Malev offered the cheapest solution to Moscow. On the flight back, i fall asleep right after taking off (BEST-aftercourse feeling:) ), and when I suddenly woke up, I found the food politely put to the next seat's table.  Recognizing immidiately that  it just will not be enough, I asked the stewardess about one more portion. She responded that they are according to the passanger numbers, but she will check. At the end, I managed to eat one more!

Here is one more, from earlier times:

Quote

from Neil Strauss, from the beginning of his book, The Lifestyle Challenge:(yes it somehow reveals my strong relation and 100000000 links to my beloved parents)

'To your mother and father. Feel free to blame them for everything that's wrong with you, but don't forget to give them credit for everything that's right.'

My admiration is just increasing when I firstly started working 3 years ago, not to mention my recent baby-sitting experiences...

If you ask me, it is incredibly amazing and expressive.  Earlier I sadly experienced that the vast majority of the people have a very bad relationship with parents, mostly because they think their approach for the world is just too obsolete. I am trying to remember to collect some memories from past, both positive and negative as well. It is very easy to notice that people from western and more individualistic cultures have weaker relations in genereal, I mean the distance between parents and sons/daughters is bigger...

- 'My Dad was just happy that alcohol prices are so high here due to legislation' - Swedish
+ 'More than half of my friends are >for sale<, but not me, my Dad studied at Oxford, so hes got his western thinking.' - Indonesian

+ I was in a cinema with some people, one of them a Persian girl , in the middle of the movie, suddenly stood up, and went out. Later on, we asked her, what happened, she responded: 'I forgot to call my Father, even though I promised him to do so. So I went out and called.' - Iran

- 'I hated my Dad, so when i was admitted to university, I left to our other apartment. My Mum wanted to also move with me, but I convinced her not to get divorced and stay with my Dad.' - Hungary

What a lazy nation

Yes, they are. The Greeks... just returned from my Greek classmate's gathering, meeting the vast majority of the local Greek community. We could not get into agreement... I am an earlybird, they can easily sleep till afternoon. I think my life would have gone into a dead end if I could not have my mornings :)  Nevertheless they are still cool people, but almost inactive ;)

And what can I do, I was raised up in this perspective, 'if you wake up earlier, your day is longer', thanks Dad!

Yesterday we also had the longest day so far in this year, with so many activities... Shopping clothes and shoes and THE belt, shopping grocery, playing football, going to BBQ by bike into the big park Slottskugen, than going to a friend's birthday, have some fun there:) Seriously, the Energizer bunny sucks in comparison :)

About groceries, we went with my Mexican flatmate, Iveet, and spent a whole lot of money, on breads, on my Swedish-food mania, and many others. On the whole, it is so damn good that there are other ways to share a flat with others. Previously it was like your shelf a

nd my shelf in the fridge, and blabla,now it is like we buy together we share everything. And I love it sooo much!

During the shopping session in Nordstan, I also found a perfect magazine store where they are selling all of the cool magazines from Europe  as well as from overseas. (Like Vogue Homme, Harvard Business Review, and the one I bought GQ).  Yesyes, they are not cheap, and yes you can download them from torernt, but still, it is so different to hold them in your arms, like paper, etc etc.

Later on we had a discussion with my second flatmate, he is Persian, and 

he said that he was never into fashion and stuff (like metropolitan/metrosexual males business). Seems that all masculinity for them is to watch and sometimes to play football. Actually he just broke up after 4 years, so I told him now it is time to get familiar with the single cosmo man life

! :)

Sunset at 2008

Again, if i manage to post one in each month that is better nothing. Apparently I could not, but it has several reasons, and reasons in this case equal to many-bence-activities.

First of all, from the day before yesterday, first time in my lifetime, I changed diaper totally alone. Of course, not on myself :) 

But, it was terrific, lucky me that i had not eaten anything before... The white walls seemed colourful in comparison with my pale face... The tip of the iceberg, the 3-year-old asked me: 'Bence, are you OK?!'  No I felt like deep down in hell! But at least, I survived and got this experience... However, I am still wondering that everyone, I repeat everyone went through this :)))) It is horrifiic soo much! :)  And also walking with a 5 and 3 year old, and getting those looks from people, and responding in my mind 'No they are not mine!' is hilarious! I also trying not to make diferences and preferences between them, and the only way to do that is you have to consider them as yours, and that case you can treat them as the same. However, it is not easy. The oldest one is more stubborn t

han the others, the middle is smart, the small is just sweet...

They have surprisingly good memory, you just say a new word once or twice and they will definitely will remember next time...

Than , for me it is never neutral in any means if the destination is Estonia :) Not in 2007 nor this year :)

First means of transport:

1. Tram - GBG, getting worried about who will pay the 400 EUR overweight fee for my Russian friend, who is sitting at the library, no skype, no mobile and we have Ryanair next early morning

2. Train GBG-Stockholm, solution: ferry: almost same price as i would have paid for airport transfer and Riga-Tallinn bus 

3. Metro Stockholm, after some shot of vodka of the freezing Stockholm night, sleeping at the couch in the corridor kitchen

4. Ferry Stockholm-Tallinn, love boat again and again, we tried to book the same cabin, but they refused referring the fully booked status. however, shortly afterwards we realized that almost thw whole boat is empty and both of us stayed alone in the 4 beds cabins... we had some party with some oversea teen

agers, who seemingly enjoyed the non-existent alcohol restrictions :) . In the morning we found that only 8 cans is left out of the original 24 of our beloved Finnish gin long drink. Lovely .

5. Bus Tallinn-countryside

6.  Bus countryside-Tallinn but between 5 and 6!!!! Omg

7. taxi Tallinn uni-bus station

8. Bus Tallinn Riga, this trip brought me good old memories when we drove the same way with Ahmed, and our Lithuanian and Welsh friends! Pine trees and warm sandy beaches, wow!

9. Tram and bus Riga city-airport, and also 1.5 day of staying in Riga, trying delicious beers and leaded by the local Elmars, who lives in the most cosyest apartment ever :) 

10. Bus  Nykoping-Jonkoping: night bus no1, I thought it is gonna be empty, but it was almost full and mostly with pensioners... 

11. Bus Jonkoping-GBG  , finally arrived to the city at 5:45, and than went to lecture at 9 :)

Tomorrow I am trying to post more, maybe a bit more funny content :)
