Hey you all out there! Here’s my long awaited new update. Read it, like it and remember it!

I’ve got only 2 days till the entrance exam to university, and I’m biting my nails off. I’m just so nervous and I need you all to have your fingers crossed for me on the 23rd of May, cuz actually that’s the exact date of it. Well I have to admit that I haven’t been studying my butt off, but I’m preparing very hard and I try to go out partying only 5 times a week instead of seven! I gotta say it’s not that easy.

In our latest ‘party day’ we discovered a very friendly TEA HOUSE in the heart of Budapest. There are about 800 different kinds of teas. I have never really been a big tea drinker, but going to this place gave me such a nice time. So there are all these fantasy names like ‘daisy-dream’, ‘queen of the forest’, ‘hawaii-dancer’, ‘real-trip’. Some of them are served with these delicious fruits, some of them with extremely mouth-watering cream….yumm, yumm! ‘Yeah, you can add some rum to it, ma’!

Guess who can be found in the Hungarian Playboy mag? Me! Yeah, yeah. Well maybe not in that position how your pervert mind imagined it! Remember 2 months ago we went to a big exclusive party, and fashion show, which was actually nothing else but the opening ceremony for a new Hungarian magazine. With some famous actors and models were we sipping our non-alcoholic cocktails, and we were happened to be taken a photo of. See, they could smell beauty and intelligence. So that’s how I appeared in Playboy, yet smartly dressed.

An other important even: MY BROTHER GOT MARRIED YESTERDAY! He married a super sexy, super cool, super blond and super intelligent girl (yes! The blond can be intelligent, no misprint!!! It’s enough to cite me as an example, he J ) They had quite a big wedding organised, tons of relatives, guests, FOOD, including sweets, candies, biscuits, cakes (I’d better buy a new season ticket to the gym!) They arrived to the church with a fancy looking limo, which absolutely mirrored the American lifestyle. When the couple got out of the car everyone around stood gapping cuz of the perfection, beauty… They were such a nice couple…. I have to dry my tears up …wee …wee After the ceremony we went to a restaurant and had a seemed to be never-ending party till 7 am. Even wedding are cool, too much fussy, so I decided I won’t get married for a while! Single girrls rock, eh?

There was another amazing night, when the ‘Ministry of Sound’ party serial hit the town. Unfortunately due to the flue, I couldn’t be there, but I manage to gather all important information. You can lean back now and prick up your ears:

Ministry of Sounds:

First of all I would like to make it absolutely clear that Ministry of Sounds is a shrine. Everyone who digs this modern electronic music trend enters this holy place with enormous pleasure. I guess the organisers decided to introduce this party sequence in Hungary according to the great long success reached in London and Western-Europe. Personally I went to my first Ministry of Sound last year and I obtained so many positive experiences that I decided not to miss out this year by no means! Even the preparation for the party while listening to music from our stereo is worth a mass, but nothing could give the same delight back that we experienced at the real party.

The Sziget Events Hall has a really positive atmosphere: spacious, airy and friendly.

The light technicians did a super job, flashy green and white laser-beams kept dancing in the air. The first DJ was Tommyboy, who didn’t really give himself , parading this Roxy-DJ sound, but fortunately this was only the warm-up for the show. Then came two DJs, The Sharpboys. The crowed simply went crazy for their music, which I am not able to put in any categories, maybe techno. The „mixes” sounded a bit messy for me, but by and large the boys gave a great show, they mana ged to pump up the audience in a flash. After arrived – just when the atmosphere rose to fever pitch – Paul Dekayne from England. Our man weirdly looks like Iggy Pop ( but in a 20-year younger edition) and played superb music. We couldn’t stop shaking and dancing to his melodious house music mixed with some trance elements .It was a real flash! As the party’s culmination – with such a gigantic courage belying genuine groupies – we walked up to Paul after his set and praised him cuz of his storm of party. His informality and unpretentiousness was so fascinating, moreover the kind of positive attitude towards the Middle and Eastern European countries. Not a bit did he deem us ‘backwards’ or underdeveloped country, even he claimed the he was inspired by our openness and susceptibility to these new musical trends. Yeah we even agreed on meeting him at his next show : )

At the end of the party, the deservdly popular Slam jr. conducted the ‘cool down’ (By the way I just got to know that the first 4 songs on his new album are goa, from this I totally went bananas, finally a slap for the mainstream>>respect!) Our Slam buddy guided us to the groves of ‘ecstatic-stoned-feeling trance music’, but far from the rapid rhythms that his predecessors produced, which was understandable at 5 am in the morning! The party finished somewhat before 7 am.

We enriched new experiences, got to know new friends, fortunately there were lotza party-faces and only a few grizzlies and barbie-dolls.

Music can show a really special way of living to people, that they can’t find in the drabness of the everydays. Especially trance, the futuristic space-music, where you can be a part of a fantastic journey without any kind of drugs.

Well that’s all for now.

Don’t forget: MUSIC CAN SAVE OUR SOULS!

Kisses and hugs

Kata
