Just my roaming thoughts on everything
I’m just a simple teacher and a personal blogger who doesn’t understand much about politics, yet I’d still like to share what I think. A 16-year system has fallen. A system that had its flaws, but also its achievements. For example, favorable family policies. Protection against migration. But there were many negatives too: drifting away […]
Hungary is experiencing a lot of excitement right now. People are going to elect on Sunday. The FIDESZ party has been in power for 16 years. Will it be removed from power? If yes, then the political nature of the country will become left-centered. The thing is, I agree with a few measures that FIDESZ […]
Nowadays, that I am the primary care taker of our daughter, I have to be very thoughtful about how our schedule my free time. I study and entertain myself by watching my favourite shows. I returned to Columbo and occasionally to Criminal Minds. However, I should not neglect Roaming Thoughts, so I will be more […]
Today, we took our little daughter to be christened. My wife leaned towards a Philippine priest, which was absolutely fine by me. She would feel more comfortable with someone who could speak English not to mention a Philippine person. We had previously picked a Church in Pasarét because that is where the Father works. We […]
We went to the Philippine Embassy to register our daughter that she was born. Also, we have requested a passport for her so she would be recognized as a Philippine citizen, which is great! She will have dual citizenship! While my wife was managing the paperwork, I was feeding her and walking around a bit. […]

Today I said goodbye to my colleagues and my students. You know, I am going on paternity leave for a long time. The reaction of my leaving was mixed. All of my colleagues are not happy but I know why. They will not miss me. What they will miss is my job – they will […]
I recently took a break from the internet, and coming back was a shock to the system. If you haven’t browsed for a while, let me tell you: the modern web is a dumpster fire. What used to be a tool for information has turned into a digital gauntlet. Between the auto-playing videos, the cookie […]
It is Friday. I had two substitution classes, both of them were PE classes. Honestly, I could not and would not be a PE teacher. I just do not have that kind of controlling personality. And PE classes are something that need serious control. Managing 30 students at the gym is exhausting. Well, the students […]
So, I teach in Hungary, in a primary school (middle school) in a relatively well-off area. I wonder if kids in upper grades at other schools are also this out of control. At ours they regularly smash desks and chairs, provoke teachers, and swear in the most creative ways. They laugh maliciously at how they […]
