KARRIMOR SNOW BOOTS

Before anybody would get the idea that recently I got an advertising-syndrome, it's a big NO!

Anyway, Dewi usually got cold feet, cold hands. 

She drives her scooter every day to work, and the cold wind freezes her to bones.

I want to give some ideas to those women who are experiencing the same "pain". 

Here is  how Dewi survives on the motorcycle in -2 °C :)

 

We found ski-trousers so effective, that she don't even want to use the blanket on the scooter any more. No matter if raining or wind blows.

It was a bit harder to find the proper boots for a low price, but Karrimor's snow boot works excellent for her. Here is what she got for just under £30 in SportsDirect. Dunno yet how is it in heavy rainy conditions, hopefully perfect :)

Proper gloves? Haven't found yet.

A great camera for a cheap price.

I also want it :)

 

ZNEN CHINESE SCOOTER

We have a Znen Sport Scooter from DirectBikes. Oh yes we do :)

Model No - DB125T-26.

And it is still ok and running after 4000 km.
I know, I know. Most people say: "Don't buy DirectBikes, that will break."
I'm not trying to advertise them, but we have no problem with the scooter.
The reason I say this, because I couldn't find info on many forums about this model.
So for those lucky scooter drivers who got the same scooter, let me tell about our experiences.


1. It came in 1 peace. We did not have to assemble it. The only job was to screw up the top box for the back and later the number plate.

2. Not sure why, but our scooter's throttle twistgrip is not very smooth when speeding up. There is a little gap (dead zone) between speeds. But the 125cc 4-strokes engine is quite powerful.

3. In 5 days we use £4 for fuel (unleaded) --> £15-20/month. And this is good. We save a £100 on the public transportation every month.

4. After 1 year of regular use, the front light bulb gave up. It was a bit tricky to figure out how to remove the front panel to be able to fix the light. Too bad there was now manual handbook with the purchase. But if you like to DIY (do it yourself) = save money on service, than it is fun.

5. Changing engine speed: Be careful when you adjust the throttle cable at the carburetor end. The locking nut and everything else there is made from aluminium - not steel. If you not careful you can damage the thread of the bolt and that sucks.

6. Today I noticed that the air filter housing was loose. Probably from the shaking a small piece of metal broke off on the bottom of the housing, that supposed to keep it tight with the body. Thanks to my habit, not to throw away my junk, I found a similar piece of metal and fixed it.

So all I'm saying is that these scooters are not as bad as so many people "advertise" them. If you take care just a little bit, it will give you a service for a couple years or maybe more. I guess that is worth £800.

BACK TO POSITIVE THINKING

I read again the book from Erhard F. Freitag: Kraftzentrale Unterbewußtsein. I got this book maybe already for 15 years or so. This is the 3rd time I read. It's about positive thinking and the subconscious. I'd like to share a few stuff regarding to this with all those who are interested.

So here we go :)

I started to read it after I passed my second IT exam. Despite of my success I was a bit down because I kinda expected that this IT Certificate is no guarantee for a  new job. So to shake my mental level up I decided to dig deeper again into myself and explore my subconscious powers... muuhahahaaa!!!

Reading the book is like a training. Makes you see the world differently, makes you think differently. It really helps a lot.

Exactly what has happened shortly after this?

A series of unexpected good things.

Well, another big issue hit us those days: my wife's stay permit in Hungary will expire in a couple months and without that she won't be able to travel to or stay in Hungary. Only with visa, which we always tried to avoid, because of the long processing time.

So I was working on finding out how can she get another stay permit. I telephoned 3 days long to the authorities in Hungary and discussed all the possible ways we could do. I asked the Hungarian Embassy in London, and I was browsing the internet for solution in forums. The result was always the same: it would be only losing money for the flight, because she would not get the permit, since we are not living in Hungary any more. (Which is kinda understandable.)

But I was still believing that there is another (legal) way. And the last time I contacted the authorities they just told me about an alternative way: that she can use her UK Res.Card and she can travel with me with no problem at all! What a relief! We saved a flight and 2 stressful months, maybe more.

Here is another example of coincidences(?) because of the positive thinking.

I saw a japanese animation (Arrietty) on TV not too long ago and it was soo good, that I looked up for more similar movies. I watched several of those when I accidentally found "The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya". If you want to understand my opinion, you have to watch the whole series too. What I want to say is that Haruhi represents the absolute mastering of positive thinking. She believes in herself soo much that whatever she imagines, it comes true! A bit crazy and a bit dangerous but she is a perfect example to understand what is positive thinking all about.

Right now I have one more chapter left to finish the book again.

I want to point my life to the right direction and make my dreams come true.

I believe it's possible, because it's not the first time I experience proof that positive thinking works.

Here are some thoughts which could help anybody in this life:

You create your future with your own thoughts.

Think positive and good things will happen to you.

Have faith and believe in God and yourself.

Be patient and persistent. You will be rewarded.

It takes time to kill negative thoughts, old habits.

Practice every day with passion and excitement.

Live in the present. Past is gone, future will come.

Love and accept yourself as you are a shining being.

When you've learned this, you'll be able to love others too.

Our body and personality are only the surface of our true selves.

Trust your subconscious, strengthen your intuitions.

Meditate and imagine yourself in the desired situation.

See yourself and feel the happiness in that moment.

Your willpower works only with your passion.

Feel the joy of your dreams, imagine them in your mind.

Intensive desire for your goals will bring them close.

Seek for love and harmony inside of you.

Trust in the power of your subconscious.

Create your own auto-suggestive prayers.

Look for the small signs every day. There is a reason behind them.

Soon you will be excited what good the new days will bring to you.

LITTLE BIT OF NEWS

Yo, here's what's going on.

I always forget about my tea... because of the computer.
So it's either getting cold or ending up as a tea bag and some sugar in a cup.

Today it is snowing here in London.
The birds keep stealing the nuts I leave for the squirrels.
But the squirrels used to eat the bird-food too, so it's kind of fair I guess.

Recently I watched many Japanese anime and I must say they are great.
After this I don't even have a feeling to watch any other kind of movies.
Right now my newest favorite is the story about Haruhi Suzumiya.

Ok, since I have passed my IT exams and finished the course, I decided to study more.
Now I started to learn html programming, because I want to be a pro web designer.
It will take a lot more than that but I think that would be very profitable in long term.

Good news for me and my wife that despite her Hungarian stay permit expires,
and she cannot apply for new permit, by law she is still allowed to travel with me
in any schengen country because of her UK Residence Card.
This issue was stressing my nerves for the last few days, but thank God, it's over and solved!

So what else? Tha'sit!

HAPPY DAY

Ohh yesss, 2nd exam done with success :)
Made my heartbeat go faster before the result page loaded but then came full relieve!
And I saved another £140 because I don't have to repeat the exam.
So I am CompTIA A+ certified entry level support technician ...
officialy unexperienced, but a momentary happy man!
Now I'm hungry...

VERSEK A HASAMRÓL

This post is only for those, who understand Hungarian :) Sorry!

Zsírhurkák a hasamon,

Két kézzel megmarkolom,
Cibálom a hájkilókat,
Szőrős pocak ettől olvad.

Úszógumi ingyen,

Elsűllyed a vízben,

Csaj nem tapad rája,

Csak a fogas cápa!

2013 - 1ST POST

Happy New Year Again!

With My Lovely Face ;)

I told yesterday to my friend: I will need some plans for this year to successfully carry out.

I guess one will be to get myself back to a physically fit condition. It's amazing how fast the body can drop the good look when someone doesn't take care of it. And how much longer it takes just to make it right again!!! Oh boy! 

The most important thing for the start is: motivation. Which came actually right from the internet. I found a pretty recent photo (from 2011) about a reunion from the elementary school. I must give a huge respect to some of the girls/guys who still look great! I was very surprised. Seriously. Others changed and don't look so good any more. But it's not a judgement, just an observation, which gave me the motivation to get started again with a healthier life. Because since September I don't do nothing, just sit in front of the computer, study, watch movies, play some games, browse the internet. As a result I gained extra weight and got lazy in every aspect of life. I'm not happy but I must admit that.
So, 2013, here I come :)

I will start with a new job as well. I sure will get some bigger slaps from life but not gonna give up. He he! Can't w8 for the challenge:)

One more week to prepare for my last exam and let's see what happens after that.

Untill than, 

Adios f*ckers!
