WordPress beginner – Introduction

Hi, I’m Hajnal and I’m a WordPress beginner as you can see. 🙂

Coming from Google Blogger background a few years back. You can find it here.

I’m happy to have more control but as it goes it will take some time to get use to it.

I love how contradictory is that. Now with more stuff than ever to be able to decide on – I’m even more reluctant to make decisions. Because I care and I want perfect , when I’m so far away from that perfectness. It’s a site, the content is what I should be focusing on.

What am I up to now?

I have started learning Web Development and Web Design from separate online courses. So I’m hoping as I progress with the courses most of the questionable stuff will be resolved by me learning more and realising how.

I’m also trying to pick up some Survival Spanish. Moved to Spain a few weeks ago without any Spanish knowledge. And TEFL to have a certification to teach English. Not 100% sure I want to learn Spanish, or that I will ever want to teach English. But I’m kind of desperate to have skills abroad that could make my stay even longer and less stressful regarding money.

My goal is simply to improve

I guess you might already disregarded my efforts because these are both online courses. It might be not the smartest decision to mix web development with web design so early on but I would hate outsourcing such an important personal project. It’s a challenge for myself and if I fail this blog won’t go much further as it is right now and my attempt to get this part of me back will fail too. As I said it’s personal so the success will depend on me, and only me.

That’s how my world works 95% of the time anyway. If you decide to stick around for a while you will get use to it or won’t ever come back.

Colour oriented Photography

Another important thing to know, is that I really like Photography. I got involved when I started Art college, I was naive when I thought they would help me build my practice around it, but I managed to do that anyway. In their opinion, story always have to come first, rather than visually or emotionally unconscious reaction/response. Achieving it by shifting the focus from subject matter to colour theory.
 
Did you know that there are books out there only focusing on the colour red and its history? Or blue, black and green?
 
Or noticed that in books published before colour printing, art works were shown in black and white, and the colours were described in plane text?
 
I’m going to dedicate a few posts to colours and their overlooked significance very soon.

Sunflower happiness

 
Until then, a simple exercise, have you noticed that some colours can instantly make you feel better and others to make you feel worst? Are you consciously using and surrounding yourself with your happy colours and get rid of the ones that less suiting?
 
If you have a moment, I would love to hear about it.

P.S.

Will see how it plays out, I’m not that girl anymore from a few years back, I’m more broken and muted, but want to find my voice again because the brokenness isn’t fixable. That’s life experience you can’t erase.

Bogi, Miklós (Mickey) and Rozsdás (Rusty). Our p Bogi, Miklós (Mickey) and Rozsdás (Rusty). Our puppies are 10 weeks old now.  When I look at these images, and I get over how cute they are, I see some of my feelings act out by them too.  The feeling of biting myself and any helping hand, the simple sad puppy eyes, and the being stuck in a concrete block. By the way, Miklós (the black one with lighter circles around his eyes) got stock all by him self. Mum noticed it and rushed me to take a picture of him. Then we used it for 10 minutes to take pictures of the other 2, while they are relatively still. Except that Rusty wasn't still at all, and Bogi, the black girl who is biting Mum's finger, got out in no time. She is quite naughty, always the one leading the to boys to create a mess.  I'm so incredibly stuck in my life, the weight of it on my chest, won't let me breath properly. Just suffocating in panic and unable to find any solutions.  Just like with photography.....winter wonderland in Hungarian style is reachable, photos from the Mátra and Bükk are so gorgeous. But I don't have a driving license or a car to get there and enjoy these conditions. To take advantage, that I'm in the country. 💔

16 days left. I'm dreading the upcoming Christmas 16 days left. 
I'm dreading the upcoming Christmas "celebration", just want to get it over with and move on to 2021, hoping that it will be a better year. 
Wouldn't mind going back to Portugal.

Frosty mood around here. I have been reading about Frosty mood around here. I have been reading about Christmas, and how can people change from consumerism to old fashioned Christmas celebrations, where people were in focus and not money and gadgets.  I spent the less 3 Christmases absolutely alone, it was just me and the fading Christmas spirit. And now that I'm back, surrounded with family, I miss that pressure less mood when it comes to the gift giving part.  A friend suggested I should say I joined a cult where gift giving for Christmas is forbidden....and I thought, don't be crazy, it's ok.  But it's not ok.  And to make things worse, I'm absolutely jealous of my sister. Well she is younger, more beautiful - to state the obvious - and she also has a full time decent paying job. But the part that really gets me is her perfection of whining.  She is getting a new phone and new laptop of her choice for Christmas from Mum. And Mum is getting in depth for the next 2 years to pay it off. And my sister is making way more money than Mum, so she could get her own stuff.  Ok, maybe FURIOUS is a better word to describe how I feel about this.  #furious #hungary #frost #december #2020 #sister #siblingrivalry #jealous #bloomstockphoto #hajnal
Only 33 days left from 2020. I know people are say Only 33 days left from 2020. I know people are saying 2021 will be better and we finally will get this pandemic under control...
But what if it's going to be the same? What if the vaccine doesn't work well enough or has hidden side effects that only time will tell? And how many of us need to be vaccinated to say, yes the pandemic is under control?
Don't hate me much, but I like some of the new norm. No drunk people on the streets after 8pm, also no parties and all the horrible noises that come with a party. 
And also less people come to visit. 
Cheers to being practical! 😌

#georgeclooney Thank you for taking the time to sh #georgeclooney Thank you for taking the time to share your views on this issue. As a Hungarian I appreciate your support, and I can assure you some of us can still hear you. Unfortunately not many of us. 
This is not a hybrid democracy, this is a hybrid dictatorship, getting closer and closer to become a full on one. 
And also Thank you for #georgesoros for his continuous support and fight for the ones without a voice. 
We can only hope one day in the not so distant future we will be free from #fidesz and #orbanviktor all together. And #democracy will be restored. 
Thank you @24ponthu

Another reflection on water, it's a fountain this Another reflection on water, it's a fountain this time. We are at the very end of autumn and it's colours, with morning frosts soon winter is really taking over. 
But one of the last trees to turn are these giant Bald Cypress trees, only a few hundred meters from home. I have been patiently waiting, and just look at them. A colour explosion.

This tree is called 'Persian tree' and it's my fav This tree is called 'Persian tree' and it's my favourite during autumn. There are varieties with all sorts of shades of red, orange and yellow. With some having only one colour, imagine a tree with vibrant pure yellow glow. Will shoe you in my next post, this one though is the one going from dimple green to orange, red and sometimes as dark as purple-black. You have to see it in person to believe it such a colour can show up on a tree.
