The city of blinding lights



Here we are again. This is the last day of March and here comes April. Hopefully it will be a warmer month with sunny days. There are only a few weeks left from school and it makes me happy. I already have many plans for the holiday. The best one for me is the trip to Paris.

One of my best friends' aunt lives there and invited us to visit her. We have already booked the tickets in February, so they are much cheaper. It will be really special for me because I have always wanted to visit Paris, but I guess it won't be the last time. Paris is known as many things for example 'the city of love', 'the city of lights', 'the capital of fashion' and so on. There are many things I would like to visit there. The most importants are the Eiffel Tower,the Triumphal Arch, the Louvre, the Champs Elysees and Disneyland.

We will spend there ten days, of course it won't be enough to see everything but I am sure we will take our time. I plan to taste some special French food like snail, clam and of course all those delicious croissants. It will be special for me also because I have never travelled by plane before. I think it will be a nice adventure as well. Fortunately we will stay close to the city center, so I am sure the evenings will be fascinating. If I just think of Paris as the city of lights...

Now back to the present, there are still 101 days left until this nice trip ( yes, I am counting down the days :D ) and I have many tasks to do. Fortunately next week there will be a little break and I plan to go to Budapest with some friends. So wish you all an enjoyable spring break with nice weather!

Sweet twenty?




Happy Birthday... Sounds so good and happy for me, especially in this month. 3 of my close friends celebrate their birthdays in March, not to mention my mom and some other friends as well. Since December, it is a habit that we always surprise the lucky one with something really unexpected. The idea came from my birthday. I celebrated it in Germany but on the day I arrived home my friends surprised me quite well. I wanted to meet at least 3 of them, but somehow nobody had the time to meet me. Of course they gathered at a restaurant, where they knew I would go to. It was quite an experience. So when December came, I organised a little party in a nice café for one of my best friends. We knew that she would nip in for a minute, but I am sure she didn't think that she would spend the rest of the day there. She told me that it was the best birthday party ever. I was really proud of myself... :) Next one was my sister's birthday. It was fascinating too. We always have to figure out something new and unexpected. Often it is really hard to organise it and takes much time and money but it worth that. It is nice to see the excited faces.

The spring season of the other 'birthday-dump' started last weekend. Zsófi's 19th birthday was really good as well. She liked the present very much. And now here comes the one I have been waiting for so long. Lilla's 19th birthday, my mother's birthday and a names day party. It is going to be a bit 'crowded' weekend but I'm sure, pretty good at the same time. After that, next weekend comes another B'day. It is going to be a 'sweet 18th' birthday.. I wish I was so young too... :D I am invited to the family lunch as well. And after that, in the evening comes the best fun; being with friends and being surprised.

I really like organising parties as you can may see, but sometimes I find myself thinking about my B'day. The second X or something like that. I know that things won't change so much as they didn't change when I turned 18 almost two years ago. But I really don't feel like an adult in many cases. I won't start telling about details, because I share almost the same feelings as Andi told us about some weeks ago. I think we all know what it feels like. Anyway I'm sure the celebration will be such fun but this time it is going to be a hard row to hoe for my dear friends. :)We'll see in August!

Have a nice weekend!
