About Me

CURRENT MISSION

"Ser feliz es sentir la convicción de estar en el camino correcto" /Jorge Bucay/ I am trying to be a better person and make the people around me cheerful and positive.

ABOUT ME

I was born and raised in Budapest, a city I truly love. I also lived in the States for a year (1997-1998) and Spain for another(2006/2008). I'd rather describe myself as a citizen of the world, than a Hungarian citizen, though, because I love travelling and I think that somehow citizenship, age, race, religion, Zodiac do not constitute a person.
I don't believe in change but I believe that even if it is difficult, everyone should strive to become a better person!
"Just when you think you have learned your lesson and you swear you watch your step... a single moment off-guard will pop up and hope will spring highest ever... once I started looking I knew I was right back from where I started." /Neal Cassady/

PHILOSOPHY

"Que es una catástrofa sin su lado cómico?" (Philip Roth)
"Si quieres que tus suenos se hagan realidad, despierta" /Ambrose Bierce/

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

have become a mother

Teach, Learn, Share

"In the beginning, God created the earth, and he looked upon it in His cosmic loneliness.
And God said, "Let Us make living creatures out of mud, so the mud can see what We have done." And God created every living creature that now moveth, and one was man. Mud as man alone could speak. God leaned close as mud as man sat up, looked around, and spoke. Man blinked. "What is the purpose of all this?" he asked politely.
"Everything must have a purpose?" asked God.
"Certainly," said man.
"Then I leave it to you to think of one for all this," said God.
And He went away. [ 118 ]
/KURT VONNEGUT: Cat's Cradle! a compulsary reading it should be made! :)/
