Something New

I really like, when I have the opportunity to meet people in a new way, when something surprising comes to light about their personality. For example, a person who is considered to be a strong and brave sportsman is keen on painting or listening to classical music.

So that's why, I would like to share my interesting desire or dream. I’ve seen a lot of movies and also read some books about Buddhism and its beliefs and I am impressed by their way of thinking and peaceful attitude toward the world. I didn't study deeply its principles and rules, but I was more interested in their lifestyle and meditation methods. Thus, when I've first seen a documentary film on this topic, where a beautiful quiet atmosphere could have been seen, with melancholy mountains and monasteries which transmitted endless calm... well, I was fascinated. And sometimes, when the cup is filled, and I really get rid of our modern material world I would like to be that place and dip power from that pure environment and atmosphere.

In order to get closer to this mystic East culture I started to learn breathing techniques and basic exercises from yoga. I 'm pretty amateur yet, but I hope I will be able to improve my skills and once go to Tibet.   

  Freshman's Ball 

I've been always dreaming about a huge and fascinating ball, (like in the Disney cartoons) with lots of people dancing in a big tarnished room, who are dressed up in beautiful charming clothes.

However, my dreams seemed to be shattered, when I got cold and had a flue, and due to my prolonged illness, I felt that horrible feeling of missing something what I really want.

  But, I decided not to give up, and determined to fulfill my desire... So, I drank a lot of tea, and arranged every important thing in time. Fortunately, I started to feel myself better, and I was able to go to the prom.

 Then, the big day came, and I was full of excitement and happiness. I went to the hairdresser, than run to the beautician and I met my friend Dóri and her dad took us to the ball.  I've been that place once, and it was like as I remembered. The night started pretty well, despite there were only a few people there at 11 pm... However, after a while, I started to get bored because nothing impressing had happened so far...

 Honestly, when I actually realized, that it really could not be as it was in my dreams, I had the bitter mixture of disappointment and sadness.

But, that was the point when the unexpected turn of events occurred. Somebody (I don't want to share his or her name.) came around, and asked me to take a photograph with him or her, because his/her hobby is taking pics with lookalikes. 

  I had absolutely no idea what kind of  'alter ego' I might be, but he/she initiated me that I look like a Brazilian football player's wife...I could not decide whether it's a compliment or a joke, however it was rather funny than shocking. So I talked a lot with that person, and he/she was really interesting and I also got to know a lot of other people.

After all, the prom wasn't like as I expected it to be, but it was more like good experience and amusing as well.

  I hope  I will have at least one more opportunity to take part in an event like this... and until this:

Cheers,
