362nd - Pray for Success

2011.07.08. 11:11 ZmanUK

 I have checked the search words people used in search engine and found my blog, and I can see many people wants to Pray for success. Unbelievable. Not like I have anything against any religion, but somehow still weird that people are interested in how to pray for success.

I remember when I started this blog initially just right after I left Prague, the "naming" was meant to be a joke, a funny response to a friend of mine's similar blog (Way to success - yes "people from Prague", we all know him :))), it had nothing to do with any prayers for success.

So the name was an unfortunate choice, because I am sure I disappoint many people who come to my blog hoping they will get some idea how to pray for success. I have to disappoint them :)

And about success. Do I feel myself successful? Yes I do. But I have to tell this did not come straight away and all I have I worked for it and not prayed :) I went through a long road, tried many things, met a lot of people, I tried my best to get here where I am now. 

So probably this is the only advise for those who wants to know how to "pray for success".... well ... DON'T. - just try your best and I believe you'll be rewarded.

361st - 1 day

2011.07.08. 10:54 ZmanUK

That's'right ....1 day left. However it seems that is never gonna be passed. Time has just stopped ... at least I feel it that way

I have bought a Samsung Galaxy S for Mrs. Smith on Amazon. It was good price £305, but when it arrived came with surprise.

1. The product itself was shipped from Germany

2. The product itself was manufactured and sold for Poland

so I have Polish box, manual, everything for the phone, also the sales code in the phone's firmware is for Poland as well. Weird. Then later on came the second disappointment. It cannot be upgraded to Gingerbread through KIES. I called up Samsung UK customer service then they told me to take the phone to the nearest Samsung service which is luckily a couple minutes walk from us. As we don't have time for the upgrade at this moment, we might need to do it when we come back.

Anyway, the phone is surprisingly fast, my so much hated FROYO seems to work very well on this phone, so I believe the O2 modified version was sh*t

Yesterday I popped in the station and left my timesheet there, my next review is coming up soon, probably just right after I came back. Not sure what is gonna happen, because even though I raised the hours I police, I still feel I haven't got much more experience. (well, I do have, but not sure if that is gonna be enough)

Still love to do it, so hopefully I can be progressed to the next level. (assigned to a local team)

I spent yesterday's evening with ironing my clothes and packing for the holiday. Also printed boarding cards, organizing Hungarian SIM cards, chargers, etc. This is what I hate much in preparation. There are always so many things to do. Mrs. Smith will be running around in town for the last shopping, withdrawing money, etc, so she is gonna be busy as well. Unfortunately she has been working in the last 3 days, every evening, so her time is much more limited then mine.

I am trying to organize a meetup with friends for Saturday at our favorite restaurant/pizza place, I hope they will attend all :)

I am still not sure whether I should take my badminton racket home or not. 2 weeks without badminton ... even the idea makes me sad ...

360th - Getting close

2011.07.05. 18:32 ZmanUK

Well, another day has gone. It is now 3 days left till our holiday which is great. Yesterday we had a fantastic surprise party held for a friend of ours. It was organised by her English boyfriend and us "Hungarians" and it turned out to be fantastic.

This was the first time all of us went to a restaurant for a decent meal. We had special cake made for the occasion which look great and tasted awesome. It was good to see so many people turned out and accepted the invitation. We had real fun.

It was well past midnight when we got to bed. Today evening I have to start preparing for our holiday, packing, burning CDs, etc, as tomorrow I will go out policing again so will have not much time for it.

I tend to not care about work anymore, so in the last three days I want to be as least stressed as possible. I cannot wait to turn off my company mobile and put it away for two weeks.

Unfortunately I had to miss yesterday's Wing Chun training which means that I will miss 3 weeks in a row, but my instructor was cool with it, in the meantime I need to practice the form on the Grade 3. (don't think I will have the time)

Luckily I found a badminton place in Budapest which is very close where we will stay during our holiday, so hopefully we can play badminton there as well :)

359th - A year ago

2011.07.04. 10:11 ZmanUK

A year ago we were having breakfast after our wedding, Mr. O was already on the plane to London, Mr. M. was on the way back to Prague, my dad jumped on the white breads/rolls, and everyone had a funny face :)

The weather was hot, even better we have right now, and we were also anxious about flying back to London. Of course we stopped for a lunch at the in-laws place and headed to the airport later on
