Ölfestival pá Buda Slott - gárdagens After Work

Gárdagens "after work"-aktivitet för min del var att besöka Ungerns första Ölfestival. Har sett fram emot det eftersom det gjordes reklam med att man kan prova pá 100 olika ölsorter.

Bland annat kunde man smaka pá körsbársöl, bananöl, pumpaöl eller hirsöl. Dá menas det inte öl med bananjuice som man gör i Tyskland. Utan öl ár tillverkat av dessa ingredienser! Klart vi provade! Körsbársölen var inte bara váldigt pinkfárgat utan áven favoriten. Det fanns i ungersk och belgisk tillverkning.

En annan favorit var en belgisk ölsort som var kálsvart och smakade nástan precis som Lákerol Salmiak, min favorit! Mums yam yam!

Men ni máste förstá en sak: det var inte sá enkelt att fá i sig alla dessa öl. Och dá menar jag inte att det var svárt att dricka, för det har jag inga problem med. Nej nej. Det vet ni ju. Rent organisatoriskt kan det hánda att man gör alldeles för bra marknadsföring av en hándelse som sedan inte pallar med folket som dras dit. Dárför kunde följande nástan-katastrof intráffa:

Min agenda ság ut som följande:

Jobba 10-18.30. Dá det ár 38 grader varmt i skugga dricker vi vatten som bara den hela dagen láng.
18.00 - Jag dricker min sista vatten för att bli tillráckligt törstig inför kvállens Öleri.
19.45 - Vi tráffas med kompisar för att ta bussen till festivalen. Jag ár sá törstig som det bara gár.
20.00 - Vi lámnar den fullpackade busslasten och promenerar 5 minuter till ingángen.
Och: vi ser den oándliga kön som slingrar sig för att köpa biljetter!
20.45 - Vi kan ántligen köpa vár biljett.
20.55 - Sáklart kunde man inte betala med kort sá vi fick byta kassa, och den 15-áriga pojken som drog kortet visste inte hur man anvánder den sá vi fick vánta en massa till. Men vad ár 10 minuter nár vi redan státt i kö 45?
21.00 - Ántligen inne! Nu vill jag bara fá i mig första ölen, spelar ingen roll hur egsotisk.
21.15 - Efter en runda pá omrádet inser vi: det rácker inte att vara inne, man máste köpa ett eget ölglas som man sedan fyller pá hela kvállen.
Vi kollar runt och blodcirkulationen stannar: det ár kö överallt för ölglasen!!!
22.00 - Nu har vi fátt vára ölglas, nu ár det bara att stálla sig i kö för att ta en öl...
22.15 - Det ár bara tvá personer kvar framför oss i kön, ett par som stod bakom oss i kön för ölglasen och som var lika irriterade som oss för att det ska vara sá komplicerat att ta en öl pá en ölfestival. De bestáller. Men: bartendern kommer just dá pá att han ska fylla pá med is, en 10 kg-s last kommer och han börjar packa in i frysen. Jaja, vad kan det komma mer?
22.20 - Paret bestáller och betalar efter lite strul, de lámnar. Bartendern tar vár bestállning medan han irriterat skriker till sin kollega att det irriterade paret gav honom 5 kronor mindre án de skulle, va fan!

Jag tánker efter: jag har lángtat efter en skön after work med olika ölsorter, vilken lyx! Istállet har det gátt tvá timmar, fortfarande ingen öl, bara massa irriterade arga mánniskor. Ár det sá det ska vara? Jag börjar leta i min plánbok och bestámmer mig för att avsluta min del av den onda cirkeln. Jag fár min öl och alla mina problem försvinner. Jag ger mannen 5 kronor extra, vi tar ölen och sátter oss (eller inte eftersom det inte finns plats nánstans). Det ár bara att bestámma sig, vill jag vara arg eller vill jag vara glad. Det ár bara jag som bestámmer. Sjálvklart váljer jag det senare.

24.00 - Folk börjar gá hem och vi hittar nágra sköna platser i gráset. Njuter av körsbárs- och lakritsölen. Temperaturen ár ungefár 28 grader. Báttre kan det inte bli!
02.00 - Efter att ha dansat lite pá ungerska poplátar tar vi oss hemát med nattbussen.
03.00 - Jag försöker somna i mitt rum som har 45 grader varmt. Inte látt!
08.30 - Dags för att vakna och gá till jobbet!

En trött dag som man bara vill överleva, men hela besváret var det várt, för de timmarna som vi verkligen njöt ár ovárderliga!

Confused

Live is full of difficult and sometimes easier decisions to make. It comes in periods, sometimes everything is just an easy flow of happenings and you just ride along with it. But sometimes, such as this period of my life, is really tough and life-determinating decisions are about to be made. Prioritations have to be set up and thought about.

Some days I am sure of choosing one certain thing, but the next day I am as sure about the other thing. To choose between many important things is really hard, especially if you see at it like following: you know for sure that you are about to loose one of them. Which one do I want to loose? Which part of my life do I want to offer and burn? If I could see it positively, I would think of it like it doesn't matter what I choose, for sure I will win something. But but but, this is not completely true. You never know how long something lasts, and if you choose to loose one part, you might loose the other one as well just a bit later.

I am just really confused right now. I have never been in a situation like this before. Well, I almost have, but I don't even want to think back on that and compare.

But I feel safe in a sick way. The thing that gives me security is that everything happens for a reason. I can't make bad decisions. Because if they turn out to be bad later on, that will take me to new parts of life, new experiences. So it wasn't bad in the end. Therefore, I shouldn't really be worried about my decisions. Never ever have I regretted any of my decisions in life. And I never will. Amen.

Pissed off - everything´s gonna be alright

I have been home in Budapest for around 5 weeks now. Before, I was in Sweden 5 weeks. And before... 9 months in Dachau. A time to forget. Like this day today. I am so pissed off... I have plans in my life and I am pretty used to manage those plans. Don´t think I will give up this time either! Never! But I had to experience a very hard personal disappointment today. It is all my fault. It´s too late to apologize now, that I realize. I wish I could turn back time, because this mistake I made was so cheap and unnecessary! Not like the consequenses that are expensive and sadly neccessary. How could I just do something stupid like this?

Well, I wasn´t in the best situation to pass anyways, that I have to tell. Sleeping 5 hours a day since a couple of days, not really studying on the theoretical part of the test, not feeling sure about the driving part... and the biggest mistake of all: not believing in myself! Don´t you ever do that to yourself! I will work on it as well, I promise!

I think you might just have realized what I am talking about. If not, here it is; my big fat f**ing failure of the day. The first part of the driving test to get the driving licence, the "Routine exam". Everything started optimally. My teacher told us we get a nice guy that will examine us, he won´t try to make us fail. Puh. That´s luck. I managed the parts I thought were the hardest: checking the car before driving away, and all the obligatory drills. Then there was one more drill that I had to make. My second favourite!!! Yes yes yes, I was really happy. It felt like I had it! But not in a too confident way, just in a realistic one. So I am doing this last drill, the one I have never failed during the driving lessons. Then suddenly I get too close to the edge and have to make a correction with the car. That is allowed. But since I never had to do that before, I did it wrong. I only had to go half a meter more to manage the whole exam, when the car went too close again. This is it. It was over. The teacher took over the driving, back to the depressing parcing space to discuss how much money and time I just lost because of a shitty little thing.

I am really pissed off...

Last weekend with Emi and Horst

This sunday my aunt and uncle visited me in Dachau - maybe for the last time?! We will see : )

We enjoyed the nice weather, took a walk, had an ice-cream & Latte Macchiato. Afterwards, we felt us like Topmodels, and started to take some pictures. Here are the results:

Horst, Judy and Emi       Judy & Emi with coffee    Horst, the purse-holder

  

Modelling...

   

This is my last week here in Dachau, before the season ends. The future is open yet. I will visit Sweden for 5 weeks, before I will visit Austria and Hungary! So, the busy life begins soon!

Trying a new colour...

Before (in February)    After (Today)
      

Now I just need a tan... I need it really bad!

End of the first month of this wonderful year!

I have been in the new apartment for 2-3 weeks now, it´s pretty fine. Small but cosy. I like it. Closer to everything; such as the non-existing city-centre!!! Hahaha, what a big city and what a big centre to it. Not! But at least just 5 minutes walk to the main train station (like there were a lot of others too...).

Today we have a game against Schwerin in our home gym in Sonthofen. Then we stay there in a hotel over night and saturday night we will visit a Casino. Of course not because I am an addicted player, but because... I don´t really know why; something with sponsors I think. We have to dress upp nicely! Wow, I don´t even know when that happened the last time... it was not yesterday for sure! (as we say in Swedish). But actually it was yesterday, because I was trying on clothes to see which fits the best for the occasion! I know I know, that doesn´t count.

I am eating a really nice and freshly baked Laugenzöpferl, but oh no! I just realized, it´s almost eaten up! Nooo I don´t want it to be gone, I just want more, and more, and more from it! With tones of butter of course, and fresh coffee mmm. Yes that´s right, that´s how I prepare for important games : P The only thing that keeps me alive and gives me hope, is that we get a similar bread at the gym before the game. Yummie!

Yesterday I saw a movie called Bride Wars. Aliens fighting and then marrying each other. No just kidding... of course it was a romantic comedy where you know every minute what´s gonna happen, and if not it´s because you stopped watching and had your mind on other stuff in your life (well not in my case because nothing else happens in my life...). Wow, are we positive today!

My little and only sister has her 12. Birthday today. Happy Birthday Viktória! Boldog szülinapot! (don´t be scared, it´s just Hungarian ; )

I´m so tired now. Had to wake up incredible early. At 09.00 am!!! Why did I have to? Ok, I didn´t really have to but I kind of set my alarm clock at 09.00 am... so it´s really my fault... but it was ment to, I wanted to go "shopping" in this worthless city centre. Of course I didn´t find anything, don´t even ask!!! The problem was not that I had too many dresses to choose from but I didn´t like any of them, no; the problem was that there was not even one shop that sold even one dress for nice occasions! Unless I wanted to dress like an 80-year old. No offense, but I´m not there yet... it´s just not my style!

Ok I better go packing and doing some stuff before I get really angry here writing all this sh***.

Peace

Updates

Long time no write. But it´s time again : )

I was busy packing my stuff and cleaning the apartment, since I have to move to another room. Moving in to Hana on my team. I am happy for that! The room and the kitchen is smaller, but my roomie is nice and I think I will feel a lot better there. Our two players left us without a word, but luckily we have other people to jump in for them! As happy as I was the last time I wrote... well, it´s hard to stay that way when nothing else is happening otherways... trying to find a job or a place to study, we´ll see what happens. I´m missing my friends... it´s hard not having anyone here to talk to during the days. And evenings. Not the way I wanna spend my young years... or the old ones for that matter. I chose this life and I choose my destiny. So it´s my job to make the best of my time here. I have never had it this hard until this season... didn´t know it´s possible to live like this. Now I know, and I never want to do it again! Just have to find out what I do want.

It´s practice time, and then some fitness.

Just want to tell you (and myself): enjoy your life and try to think positive! It could always be worse!

I´m a model... : )

When we were on traning camp in Italy, San Benedetto del Tronto, our photograf, Charles, took some really nice "model pictures" from each of us. Now he is done with his work, and here are some of the results. If you want to see some more pictures, take a look at my Swedish blog. Enjoy the pics but watch your computer from drooling to much... : )





Baking cookies for Christmas - Part 1

It is never early enough to begin to think and prepare for Christmas. Today there are 20 days left until Christmas eve, my favourite day of the year. So my friend and I talked and said "Hey why don´t we start baking all kinds of cookies from now on till Christmas and bring home for our families and friends?!". Yeah, why not?

Yesterday all day and today half the day we baked, and here´s the result in pictures:

"Vanillagipferl"

  

Cinnamon and Chocolate cookies                        The forms of the cookies
                                           

Using a beer bottle...                                                  and an apple juice bottle...
                                                       

After baking, half of them got chocolate on the top    and half of them got white chocolat

                                                  

Coconut cookies             and Lebkuchen
 

That´s it, I´m done! Baking the whole day, and now it´s time for practise...


Don´t play with food, they say... : )






Mama and Sister visiting


The classic yearly crazy-pics... I mean, the normal photos (yes, that´s how we really look ; )



Ok, if you got scared, here´s the truth: this is how we really look... : )


International Allgäu Team Sonthofen

These are the flags from Germany, the US, Hungary and... Bavaria. Because we have players from these places! Aren´t they nice, putting our flags out in our gym?? Making us feel at home? Very nice!!! A week later, they added the Russian flag as well, making Oksi feel at home too : )


Autumn pic

This picture was made in Dachau, when my friend Ági was visiting me, and it was still (all already) autumn... now it´s snow, and pics from it are coming soon ; )


Do I like Asian/Mexican food or what?!

Today is monday, and we have a day off because WE WON THE FIRST AWAY GAME IN THIS CLUB´S HISTORY EVER IN THE 1. BUNDESLIGA! Against Münster with 3:2 : )))

So here´s what we did: shopping in München of course! Kristin wanted to check out a grocery store with an American food section, so we looked it up.

And here´s what I found there... well, not very American you would say. And that´s true - I love Asian food! Now I´m gonna make burritos, fajitas, tacos, thai coconut red curry chicken and sushi!!! Yammy : ) The bottle on the right side is some weird food we got to taste from a lady in the store, it´s a pancake-potatoe mix you only have to fry in a pan and it´s done! I also had to buy a tea can of course, I´m kind of obsessed with them... but this one is really nice!


Updating the last week

Wow, I am getting really bad at writing on this blog. I mean, I know that I write it reaaally good but I meant too rarely... ; ) I have to get better, otherwise noone is gonna read it!!! Ok... actually I haven´t written much on my other blog either (judyka.blogg.se), if that is an excuse...

Last saturday we had our first home game in Sonthofen. We lost it 3:1 but it wasn´t that easy (as it may be to loose other games...). After winning the first set pretty easily, we had several set balls in the second set as well but they managed to win it! Never again!!!

The audience is sooo awsome, it feels really nice to play in front of an almost full gym (yeah it could be more full ; ).

My friend from Hungary, Ági visited me and she arrived directly to the game and joined Martina to watch me (and take a lot of pictures : ). If you wanna see the pics, you have to click to my other blog because I put them there... again: judyka.blogg.se.

On sunday Ági and I went to a concert in the Olympiahalle, Alicia Keys!!! (Or Kulcsos Alícia, as we call it in Hungarian). It was a nice concert and although we just practiced the songs 2 days before (intensively!!!), we managed to sing them really well! Almost as good as she herself ; ) After the concert we tried to find home which took us some hours but we weren´t in a hurry anyways...

The next day we went to München but my friend wasn´t really interested in the city itself. I mean, she was really interested. What am I talking about? We looked for different city tours to guide as through so we get to know everything important.

Here are our possible choices of tours: 1. Third Reich Tour - Hitler´s Munich 2. Dachau Memorial Tour - the concentration camp 3. The royal castles 4. Bier and Brewery Tour

Which one do you guess that we took???!!!

Yes, of course, the last choice! Well MY FRIEND chose it not me ; ) I just couldn´t stand her up.

It was very funny, specially at the end of the tour... donno why... The guide, Eric, took us 6 persons to all kinds of Bräuhäuser where they make beer and showed us how beer is made - and how to drink it! It was a very important tour to get to know the Bavarian culture more, and the people living here. Veeery important : )

After having found our home - again, we had a really nice sleep. I learned a lot that day, among others that beer makes people skinny. Interesting... seems like I don´t drink enough beer!

Tuesday, the last tourist day we actually tried to discover Dachau. As much as you can... actually I think we discovered it like 5 times, because it doesn´t take more than an hour to see everything and having been to every little street in the old town... it was a very experienceful day...

That evening I also discovered that not only do the busses not go on sundays, they also don´t go after 7 pm at all!!! Where am I?!

Today I played cleaning lady in a hotel - I washed bed clothes, towels and cleaned the room for the next guests. Tomorrow my mom and my little sister are coming to visit me!!!

You can look forward to hearing from me after they left! I know, you can´t wait...

Things are getting better?! No discussion - my life is a flower

Just listened to the song "All good things come to an end", hmmm that doesn´t fit in what I want to say but whatever. Maybe it does but I kind of wanna ignore it... I rather want to say: all things should have a good end. No that´s not it, I wanna say something else. All bad things come to good things... yeah something like that!

Well, since the lady in da house turned on the heat (even at night), life is a rose! And since we have bikes, well life is a red & good-smelling rose! And... since I have my books for studying my last credits I need for my diploma, life is... an orchid?! You know that´s a lie, unless orchids smell like sh***... because studying is not exactly what I planned to do at this point in my life, but since I had too much fun last year (and therefore didn´t study), I have to do it now (obviously now I have more time for it...).

Did I forgot to tell that my life is a lily! And why is it a lily? Because: there´s no more practice this week - at all!!! 4 days of relaxing (ok we still have one fitness and I´m for sure going jogging but still), the best and best smelling lily one can imagine!!! Then life is also a tulip, because tomorrow we visit Oktoberfest - for the last time! So it´s a good and bad smelling tulip at the same time...

The best of all: life is a two-coloured rose, orange with red fringes!!! The best smelling and most beautiful flower! This is for me visiting Innsbruck tomorrow night until monday! Almost four days of relaxing, nice nature, visiting friends, party and doing just things that give me positive energy and a nice time (I just know it, hey it´s an orange-red-rose, how could that be other than perfect? ; )

So now: even the biggest idiot, the stupidest person in the world can see (after reading this) that my life is a flower!!! (but one can discuss what kind of flower. And it´s also not so clear if it smells good or bad... not to talk about the colour. But the main thing is that it´s a flower).

You know what they say; flowers say more than 1000 words...! (I actually have no idea if they say so but who cares...) I tried to tell you more than I actually told you (about a 1000 times more), hope with a lot of success!

The fall has come...

The true story...

Well, I had to laugh hard when I read what I wrote the last time: sleeping at a hotel? Celebrating the birthday of a sponsor?! Oh my god, I told you that I don´t know the real story...

Now I know!

After the game in Dornbirn 4 of us stayed at Sabrina´s house, including Sabrina of course. It was really nice, typical Bavarian sight with cows, pigs, cats and a bird (who died in the house... yes it´s another very sad story). Nice home made apple juice, home made honey, home made everything (it felt like) and nice atmosphere. The only thing: no heat... but we survived : )

Now to this sponsor thing: I don´t know who had a birthday, but I know for sure: there was no cake! Yes... people who know me know that I was very disappointed!

Other than that, we just had to sit at a table and write autograms and sell season tickets. Well, if anyone would have come will say. But other than 3 people in 2 hours, NOBODY came. So we just kept watching a Robbie Williams live concert in a big screen for sale tv screen drinking our free sodas and mineral waters (with bubble!).

After surviving those boring 2 hours, Sabrina had already left and Hana took her car back to Dachau. Kristin and I had to wait 2 more hours until our train left, so that we can bring our new (but really old) bikes to Dachau (and finally have something to use for travelling!). Those 2 hours were actually really nice, because Hubert took us to our favourite ice-cream place Venezia, a nice Italian man who is actually our sponsor. He invited us for the best ice-coffee in my life (with a lot of vanilla ice) and other ice-scream scoops. mmmm soul orgasm!!!

The part after that was less nice, 2 hours of train followed by change in München main station to the s-bahn to Dachau. It was, of course, pretty full of people because of the Oktoberfest so our bikes had space but our part of the train got really crowded (while the other side of the train was almost empty hahaha).

When we arrived, Kristin realized that her chain is off of her bike... that´s great!!! So we walked to Julie´s place, and she fixed it!!! We arrived home an hour ago, so it took us like 4 hours to get home from our home game city!!!

Now it´s time to get ready for Oktoberfest - again!!!

Peace.


News from last weekend...

Last weekend we won a tournament in Innsbruck, MY city : ) We stayed at a hotel (guest house?), and I wasn´t  disappointed of the very nice beutiful view from the room:
