I am back!

Hello guys, 

Here I am again after 3 months not being active at all. I am saying now the same i always do, but i was that busy that couldn't find time for blog. I couldn't even enjoy my shower because I had to hurry to be able to finish my homework. It was a crazy semester, i had many works, assignments, quizzes. Many times I felt like dying haha. I felt asleep with my books and woke up with that too.... I recall and i dont even know how could I keep up with that pace. Well, I am super good with time management and it helped me a lot. I took five classes plus working three jobs: one weekdays nanny, one weekend nanny, and the third one is my internship. Also, I can stay I am still part time worker here where I live, because i take care of the dogs plus cleaning the house, laundry and so on. The list goes on and on, I didnt have a full day off, but you know i wanted to work that much, nobody forced me to do so..... I just wanted to get better financially since I bought a car in December....

I was on my way to work one morning when I couldn't stop looking at these clouds....

I found it funny :)

Weekdays nanny job....

Weekends nanny job....

Learning about Hungary and Romania in college...

Sunset in my neighborhood :)

Gym... It was one of my favorite please to go, however in the last few months I could barely had time to show up there. I truly missed this place.

Can you guess where am I from? ;)

Herbalife... I still have a shake time to time; however not that intensively like last year. I feel I would need to go regularly to gym if I want more results.... I personally think gym and shake work well together, but not that much seperately.... 

We had many crazy snowing days... It means no school for a few days. This year weather in Texas was crazy. Snow in February and Flood in May. 

You can't copy anything from online because when you upload it through safe assign to ecampus it is gonna show from where You copied the sentences.... College students be careful with that! 

Eymard's roomate has two cats; one of them always climbs up to the kitchen furniture... Was so funny for me that I had to take a picture.

I was so scared to drive on those roads... 

Being grateful for working with wonderful kids! I can't even compare them to my previous kids.... I am definitely looks to be their nanny! 

Sahil fall asleep. They were so cute.

During spring semester it happened that I couldn't meet up with the girls for three weeks... We had to FaceTime lol. Busy life.

Our backyard looked like this for days... I hate snow in Texas. One of the reason because everything get cancelled/closed... Life stops... 

Volunteering at some Exhibition. We were the application coaches ;)

Acting like who never holded baby ducks. We were raising them back home - just to mention :)

Kurtooo. It was so good. I need to go there more often. Now looking at this pic I am carving for one so much!

Mircea is a Romanian guy who makes these Transylvanian pastries in Dallas. He supported our TEEM Scholarship Launcheon with some gift certificates. 

We went to see La Mirada  performance at Collin College. 

It was awesome. I really enjoyed it. However in the break I had to drive home and lock the dogs up and I missed 30 minutes from the play. I think I should go to theater more often. I love seeing these kind of performances.

The crew

After the play we went to a hookah bar close to my house. They opened it a few months ago. I love the food and ambiance over there.

On a cold snowy day I am studying in front of the fireplace...

One of the IREM Luncheon. I am at the registration for an hour than I can join for lunch and listen the presentation. It was fun to meet with some proffesionals. Through IREM I made some great contacts! 

My favorite bridge in Dallas.

At IREM office. I guess I was organizing/alphabetizing the badges...

I got a Tshirt for Eymard for St. Patrick day.

Viki and I decided to take take a break from school... I drove to uptown to spend the night with her. We went to a club but after an hour we were done. I am definitely not a clubbing girl anymore. I wonder how could I go to those places every weekend last year. Time to time it is fun but I don't need it that often anymore.

Site inspection at a local country resort with my classmates and teachers/mentors . We were getting ready for our 2015 Scholarship Luncheon and Silent Auction.

St. Patrick Day with Eymard. It was super cold. I remember I was freezing. There is something wrong with the weather in this year in Texas.

Dinner with Eymard at his favorite Brazilian Restaurant. His favorite waiter over there is a Romanian guy. We got to chat for a while. He was one of those furtune people who won the green card lottery. I wish that lick would found me as well.

Study session at home...

Fun afternoon with friends in the park....

IREM (Institute of Real Estate Management) got a membership for me to DFWAE (Dallas Fort Worth Association Executives)  

First drinking wine than doing some exercises... Haha 

My new hair stylist.

I got a desk from my weekend family. Sara and her boyfriend came to pick it up and store it until we move. We had to take a picture with our very first furniture.

An other afternoon with Keri in the park.

I am still running time to time, however not that much how I used to.

Playing with the kids.

Fun night at the kids 

My host dad bought some palm trees.

My furtune cookie :) 

Viki is sleeping over at "my place" :)

You already should know that I am in love with Texas sunrise and sunset... <3

On April 1 st we made fun of Chadi. He pays too much attention about what other people think of him :) All our friends started to post to his wall something like congratulation to your new job at Walmart... you should see the whole list I was cracking up by myself while reading all those comments.... Maybe it helped me that I imagined his face and reaction.... Okay okay I am not that bad friend just found it so funny...

Gathering with the girls at their school to check out Sara's art...

I got a copy of them.

Hanging out with Sarita

Crafting.... We transferred the picture to the wood.... i love this tactic... 

A day before Easter at the lake with one of my favorite family in the United States....

I made this crown for Lama's niece, Natalie....

Lama, Firas and I

The girls...

Jumping :)

Picnic

Sleep over at Viki's I love her pajamas. She lives in uptown, literally 2 minutes walking distance from the busy night life street full with clubs and bars. I slept over but we didn't go out at all just taking Grizzly for a walk.  We were lauging that we look like homeless people walking on the street with that dog while everybody is dressed up with high heels passing us.... Wonder what happened with us not feeling to party recently.....

Eymard's nephew on Easter Sunday morning..

Breakfast time with Eymard's family...

I went to pick up the donation from Garland CVB, they were super sweet, asked me if they can take a picture of me and the donation basket.

We started to play basketball with my friends this year... I enjoy a lot. I am pretty bad in scoring, however i am pretty good in defense :) Sometime we went to the park and played against kids or adults, whoever we found at the basketball court.... Even the boys were always tired of my defense haha

Enjoyin summer cloths in March :)

I am never alone.... these guys don't leave me for a moment....

Celebrating Vidyia's good grades at a Frozen Yogurt Place....

My host family was hosting a party, i had to go over to look for the kids and they didnt have time to make the salami and cheese tray... they asked me if i would willing to do it why they get dressed... I had 45 min to put this together.....It wasn't that great but if i consider the time i had for this it is not that bed..... I wish i could google some design and take my time and make it look awesome.....

Happy for my new book after a DFWAE Association Day.... My boss where I do my intern involves me in many great events that i love to attend...  i just both one of the speaker's book because she was so awesome that wanted to read from her....

Evie... she is the little girl where I work at the weekends. Her father has a cancer now, that's why they really need my help. But the good news is that he will get well very soon. All his treatments almost done... Can't wait to see him happy again. It wasn't easy for me to go through this with them. Many times i so didn't want to work 8-10 hours Saturdays and the same many hours on Sundays but I did because I knew they need my help. I was so exhausted with all the school stuff that I wished to stay home and just study but I just couldn't say "no... I don't go..." Nowadays, he is feeling better so i try to stay 6-8 hours a time, but before i even did 12 hours some days... It was kinda hard with this little girl and her brother because they never had a nanny and they are super attached to their father, they want to do everything with him and they couldn't understand that he needs to take nap or he needs a rest.... recently I see they are better with me and it is awesome to see all those improvements with these weekend kiddos. :)

Whenever I start to draw something, I end up with a heart. I think I should be a heart painter/artist? :P

I got two scholarships for the next academic year, which is $ 3000. It is a big help, but I still have to pay some. I was very determined a few months ago that i dont want to pay anymore for college, I mean i wanted to get some help through scholarships. I got it but I still trying to get some other. So fingers crossed for me. :) Even tho I had a very hard semester with hard classes I got A from everything. It is very important for me. I almost got B from Math, but at the end i could close with A. I also got a Student Success Award but it wasn't for my grades.... It was for all my work in the TEMM Club. This is a club for my major at the college. I helped to organize some events. I got donations alone for almost $ 4000. We had a Luncheon where we had an auction. That's how we generate money for the club, for scholarships and different industry related events. 

Three students of my major were invited to this Student Success Awards Banquet. i was so happy that I could be among them...

M.T. (middle) is the coordinator of the program/TEMM Clu., i had some classes with her and I love her. She helps me a lot. She is an awesome mentor and teacher. She wants me to be the chair of the club next year haha.... I think it would be too much responsibility... I tried to tell her and other teacher that I am not ready for that and my English is not good enough for taking  a position like that... they were laughing that it is not a good excuse :) Anyway, I have time to think about it... I may take this position with an other girl and be a Co-Chair....

I was proud for all my accomplishments this past semester....

Having fun with the girl at Mud Run.... We are the international mudders....

We were so dirty... wish i could take picture on the track..... but i was afraid i gonna screw my phone in that mud. We had to crawl in the mud too...

I remember that day was super hot, we all got sunburned...

...and we smelled so bad hahah...

I was thinking about Hungarian flag or Transylvanian.... Well the Hungarian one was a lot easier... Everybody asked me if I am from Italy...:P

After Mud Run clean and happy :)

We deserve a drink :D

A bad news.. during the mud run a piece of plastic went to my eyes.... don't ask me how... I have no idea... I was struggling for five days, even crying.... I had miserable days.... Couldn't open my eyes, even in the house I had sunglasses.... After 5 days being in that conditions I went to an eye-doctor, they took it out.... I had to get an antibiotic drop, This little incident costed me $300. For a moment I became upset, but after i quickly realized that no need to be upset, the most important that i will be healthy again in few days... and if i have good health i can earn that money back soon..... so at the end i was happy that i didn't need surgery or something similar.... Always find the good in every bad situation and you will feel better after that :) 

Getting ready for finals.... I was struggling a lot with my accounting and math classes... But i made it :)

The weekdays family was super nice... I got off on my birthday but we celebrated it together the day before.. they got cake fore me plus a present. It was a cute necklace. 

I love them a lot.

I love the birthday card she made for me. 

On my birthday I had to go to school and after that I met up with Max. He works very close to my school and it is so convenient to get together for a coffee... You may remember him from last February... At that time we were dating but now we are definitely just friends. He always wants to help me. I never accept but it is nice to see that how much he cares about me :) He is a good guy but he stays in the friend's zone....

Till last year every time on my birthday I bough some clothes for me as a birthday treatment from myself to myself.....  In these year I wanted books... :) So, i ended up with some. I really enjoy reading in English... Dot mistake me, i love to read in Hungarian as well, but now I need to improve my English and reading a book I believe is the best way to do it.... 

Birthday celebration is still on... it was on the third day...Eymard took me to Pappas Bros. It is a fancy restaurant. He works there as a pianist. I have never dated with a musician, i thought they are so different than I am.... but he is not like all the others musicians.... :) Seriously he is super good and talented. I know because everybody says that haha not because i can make difference between good and bad pianist. Haha. I wish i could appreciate more his music... I mean i do appreciate but for me it is the same if he would play bad or good. iI referred him to a school event, where all my teachers, mentors were there. In the beginning I was worried what about if he will be very bad and all my teachers knew I refereed him....but at the end of the event all of them came to me and told me how awesome was his music and they want him next year too :) Even my classmates asked me to take them to that restaurant to listen to him. But what i wanted to say is that he is not a typical musicians. He never plays music at home, unless it work related and he gets money from it (like making somebody's cd, some records or so on) haha. He never need to practice..... He plays piano since age 5... U never see him listening to music, not even in the car while driving. And he doesn't go to bar/club at all where the music is loud....

The day after, guess it wa sthe fourt day i was still celebrating my birthday but at this time with the girls.... we took a walk in uptown, than stayed in Hilton Anatole Hotel in downtown.... 

This top roof is in Viki's apartment complex. I love that view.... wish i would live there... well one day pretty soon I will :) (I am just being positive :P)

She is so cute with her dog... she takes such a good care of him.

My birthday present... Viki "baked" it for me :) It was a very unique present... I loved it!

Dinner. We are always laughing about that I get something light and a healthier version and she is having burgers and fries :)

We are ready for Lana Del Ray concert....

... we were so excited... until they announced, after 3 hours that the concert got canceled due to severe weather in DFW area. We didn't have rain till 4 am so i don;t see why she couldn't come. If she starts at 7 pm how she supposed to could be done by 10 pm.... Anyway, we were so disappointed... 

It was time for us to sing "Summertime sadness".... 

About boys....since I used to talk about them haha.... I am still dating with Eymard, the Brazilian guy. I don't know what brings the future. I don't know yet if it will work out or not but I want to give us a chance. Why i had my school i couldn't see him that often, because i was always busy.... In April I had a period when I was still thinking of Sasha, and i was kinda living in the past...... I felt like I don't want to be with anyone and i can never ever love anyone again.... I even broke up with Eymard, but we still were in contact and talking every day. Than one day I told him about Sasha, that i feel that i am still thinking a lot about my past and couldn't get over him completely. We had a conversation that night in Olive Garden.... we were talking like for three hours... I was crying a lot... After that conversation I felt way better. Somehow it helped me to open my eyes. I started to look things differently... Also i was happy that i told him....  To see his reaction and willingness to help me impressed me a lot. Now I try to see him more often, hang out more together....so we can have a chance to know each other better. I kinda felt jealous the other day haha (He didn't do anything), but I was so happy that i had that feeling, because it seems i care more about him now how i used to. Feeling jealous should be a celebration for me. I even think now that i would be able to fall in love again, and it kinda scares me lol......  Anyway, i go with the flow now, try to live in the moment... and with time we find out what is the best for: us together or not together.....

Getting ready for final..... I am so so happy that my classes are over, however I will take one or two this summer. It depends if I would be able to continue my intern or not. I will figure out next week, than decide what to do...

Vidya looks such a big girl here.

Sahil enjoys riding with me. He loves to sit in my car. I dont drive him that often. Probably once a week.... 

This few pictures are in front of IREM office where i do the inter. The other day the whole building got free lunch.... They do it every year once....

Happy to be back to gym... However now I am not that much determined about it than before. Probably because i dont have that much free time than i had last year...

I am already looking for decorations and furniture... Oh i think i didnt mention yet that I am moving together with my friends from middle of August. Can't wait to have our own place. I feel it is really time after living that many years with families. I just got tired of it and decided to make an other step. Even tho I know I will have more expenses.... 

vidyia heard that I told to her mom that I got an A from math instead of B... Till the very last day it seemed my final grade will be B..... so she made me a card. She was super sweet!

Saturday morning breakfast with Viki in uptown. After that we were heading to a seminar. Matthew Hussey was the speaker. He is the writer of "Get a guy". He is a love, relationship specialist.... We enjoyed listening to him. Such a great guy.  

We are excited about Matthew...

We match :) 

We got a pocket Hussey...

On Lama's graduation ceremony at SMU. She got a master from engineering. 

Being silly :P I wish if it would be mine tho...

She is Firas sister in case you got lost. :) I love their family. They are super nice people. They always invite me for dinner and so on... Every single time i go there for dinner they even pack me food in boxes haha

Natalie is Firas's niece. She thinks I am their cousin. The other day Firas texted me that  she went and told to her family that "I have curly hair like our cousin Dalma" 

Chadi is being silly...

I am a kebab lover <3

Friends gathering at Firas place after Lama's graduation...

Interesting sunset....

Just being cocky one more time with my grades :P I want to mention that all those stress I experienced the last few month leaded me to loose a few kilos.... In the beginning of the semester i was very stressful, sleeping so little, being tired all the time. I had days when i started to cry and just couldn't stop crying. Then I decided that it doesn't worth being stressful, so tried to go with the flow and not worry that much. My situation in the house made me stressed too, because i was in charge for the dogs, and something was always going on. I am very limited with my time while living at his house because i cant work for 8-10 hours continuously. If he is not home i cant leave the house more than 5-6 hours and so on. Which is fine because that's while i can live here for free however it can be really tiring to have those boundaries especially when you have school and two other jobs. My other employees are so cool and helpful; they always work with my schedule. 

Today I am going to Toronto, Canada for Laith's wedding. While I was in school I didn't  have time to concentrate on this trip, so I got excited now about it. We are coming back on Sunday evening. However instead of flying to Toronto we are flying to Detroit, rent a car and drive to Toronto from there. In this way we could save some money. I am actually doing this trip with four guys, but I know them since I am here in America so I am feeling comfortable around them. It is just the very first time for me to travel somewhere with boys, especially when none of them is my boyfriend haha. This Canada trip is going to be my only vacation this summer so i need to enjoy it to the fullest. I cant afford an other vacation this summer because i am moving out and it comes with many expenses especially in the first two months when we have to buy everything from a plate to vacuum cleaner, coffee maker, washer/dryer, bed, nightstand, desk, table, chair and so on. The list goes on and on.... So i was making fun that i will take a vacation with a Pina Colada by our future apartment complex's pool while tanning :) It is not that bad. :P Something is for something. I know I want to do this and if the price for it to not be able to take more vacations than i won't.  Fortunately I had many opportunities to travel in the past few years and i know i will have many more in the near future. :) 

We started to look for apartments but we have a hard time with that. I couldn't imagine it can be that hard. If we would look for two bedrooms would be way easier. Also we want to find something with three bathrooms which is super hard because usually three bedrooms comes with two bathrooms. Sometimes the location is not good, sometimes the distribution of the apartments... We found some apartments with great prices, good location than we read the reviews and got upset. I hope we will find something by end of June or middle of July. We found a cool place and we almost took that but we would need to move in by 1st of July which is too early for all of us... Anyway, I believe soon we will find the perfect one. :)

Recently, I am trying to find some solutions how I can stay here if I wouldn't continue studying. The navy thing came to my mind and I did some research about it. It is not fully clear everything however if they would help me whit my papers I would definitely consider to join. I know it is not that easy how I write about it now but it shouldn't be impossible. I will have work permit for a year from next summer and if I want to join I need to do it in that specific year because you need to have work permit before joining. Even Ho if it is just for a year.

Anyway, it may be an option... I need to do some more research about it but I definitely keep it in mind.

Recently we go more often to the park for exercise instead of gym. Keri is my workout body. She is American. I love her. We became such a good friends in the past year. I will miss her after I move. I so use to text her in last minute and get together. She lives less than ten minutes from me. So I can finally say I have an American friend. Haha :)

Gym "party". We used to go to gym a lot all together. I miss those days. I just always had so much with these guys in the gym...

These sweet kids always make my day. This is the calander where I always write my working hours....

The other day I went to one of my a favorite store to get a shirt for me. I already knew what I want. I got two for my sisters as a gift when I went home In January. I remember I wanted to get one to myself even at that time. So I just texted them if they like their shirts because I got the same for myself just in an other color. Hermina sent me a picture wearing it, than I sent a picture to them too. Than my other sister, Erika did the same. She was trying to imitate me and pose like me haha.

I love my sisters so much. We have such a great relationship. We talk every single day through viber. Actually it is more texting but we do it a lot. We have a group message with my family and every day someone says something there. I love to keep track and know what they are doing even if I am here. It makes to feel that I am not that far away. #familylove

Through Next Door application I found a dog sitting job. It was 5 minutes away from home so it was very convenient. He payed for it really well and I almost didn't have to do anything.

#becameadoglover

Volunteering at Special Olympics. This volunteering was so recording. Seeing all those children with disabilities made me to be more grateful for my life. We can walk, we can see, we can hear, we are able to work... 

I was the pointer while the eye doctor examined their eyes... 

I was babysitting Yvett. I took her to grab some dinner.

My lovely family sent me a little surprise from Hungary/Transylvania. 

Selfie stick in Transylvania ;)

I was making an other wood picture craft for Eymard.

In the Dallas Art Museum with Eymard. I was trying to kiss the frog hoping that he will change his appearance.

This picture was reminding me to Transylvania.

Looking for a bed to my new room :P it may not fit tho.

I was obsessed with the vases while Eymard was obsessed with the sculptures. How different we are :)

I love this picture of us.

I am living in Dallas for almost three years and I have never been in the art museum. 

 

I was working on this post for two weeks... finally i could put some information together so now you could have an idea what happened with me in the last few months....

I even felt bad that I promised I post this on Sunday and today is already Wednesday night...

I will try to be back to my blog as soon as my time allow me! 

Have a great rest of a week my lovely readers! <3

Xoxo

New year, new life.... I love my American Dream

Hi everyone,

Sorry for disappearing. Believe me, I miss writing my blog a lot. I wish i would be able to update more frequently. Even tho I barely have time to breath I decided to give you an update since i was getting e-mails and messages for not posting, which is always nice, since I love to see that I have readers who are curious about "My American Dream."

So, I started the new year with a new life... with many many changes. I was still in Romania when i started to talk with potential families about nanny positions. I got back on Saturday midnight but Sunday at 10 am i had my first interview. I met with three families in 1,5 days, and on my second day back to Dallas I already started to work. I mean from Monday afternoon. It was super easy to find a nanny job. All three family wanted me, so I had the chance to pick the best one. Haha.

Words cant explain how happy I am with the current family. I work now from Monday till Thursday from 3;15 pm till 8:00 or 8:30 pm. I will need to start going on Fridays as well from late March. They are a super nice Indian family. I love how the parents raise their children. OMG it is way different how it was in my previous families. I love to see that there are still parents out there who pays that much attention on their children and their behavior. They are super polite with me, even the children. Finally, I feel appreciated by the children too. I try to do my best and do fun stuff with them. I would willing to do anything with my previous host kids as well, but they were simply too spoiled and didn't like to do anything.  Oh yeah, and everybody calls me Miss Dalma. Except the little 3 years old boy. he gave me a nickname Miss Damo. :) Oh yeah so there are three kids: one 3 years old boy, 6 years old girl, 8 years old boy. The funny thing is that the oldest boy goes to the same school where Ryder went. They live 7 minutes away from me and it makes my life easier a bit since i dont have to drive a lot to get there. The parents each day mention that how much i help them and how lucky they are that i joined to their family. Seriously, it makes me super happy. I definitely enjoy my time there, and it is not like a job at all. Of course it is good to get paid for it haha.

She gave me this stickers after the first week.... how sweet she is...

I need to braid her hair every night before i leave their house...

Just a note from the mom... it was on the first week I started to work for them:)

Saturday, Sunday I work for another family as a nanny. They wanted me as full time, but i chose the Indian family. Over there are two kids. A 2 years old little girl plus a 6 years old boy. They live like 30 minutes away. They are nice too, but it is not that easy with the kids than with the Indian kids. 

I got a paid internship for part time at IREM, Institute of Real Estate Management. It gave me a head ache in the beginning, because i had to do many paperwork, nothing was clear.... but finally i got my working authorization, but just till end of May, since I do this internship as a training class. So i work at this office  every Monday and Wednesday 5 hours each. I love the location of it, it is in a very nice office building. I enjoy so much going to work dressed up as a professional. LOL. I work with two amazing woman, who literally took me under their wings. They are getting memberships for me to different associations and involving me in every luncheon, happy hours or any other event. Every week we have different meetings at the office with different teams, so they make me to sit and listen to the meetings that i love. I know these two ladies just since three weeks, but seriously i love them. Last time we met they almost made me cry with their kindness. They really want me to not be here with a student visa and trying to find out what they can do for me, but it is not that easy how they think. The thing is they cant hire me full time now anyway. Even knowing that they cant do anything right now it is super nice to see that how much they care about me and try to find out the options i could have. What i need to do there is office work, updating websites, assembling information for weekly newsletter, creating badges, going to luncheon, registration... contacting their members for verifying their current information and so on. I am not great in it yet, but i so want to learn, so i do everything i can. 

What else to share?

Oh I am dating with a Brazilian guy from end of December. He is a very decent guy, who has many patience with me, because i barely have time to see him. I am happy if i can meet with him once per week for a few hours. We are not in boyfriend-girlfriend status yet but we are not seeing other people. Of course i was the one who didn't want the title yet... It happens with everyone... lol... But he is super patient with me that i love seeing that.... It is not because i dont like him, but i feel i cant say to someone my boyfriend if i don't feel love for him. I like hanging out with him, and i really like his personality, but I don't feel love yet.... and i am afraid i will end this relationship again because of the lack of love..... I dont know anymore if love should come faster or it is better if it takes time... After Sasha i just wasn't able to experience it again. After him i couldn't say to anyone this magic word. Why was i that obsessed with him? Oh well, i will be super happy when i can say out loud this word to someone one day. I want to give some more time to ourselves.....lets see how it goes.... 

His nephew's baptism 

This is a simple catholic church close to my house... I use to go to mass with him sometimes... I like going to church with him...

About my school..... I am taking 4 classes, which are 14 credit hours all together. My accounting and math class very time consuming. I am super super busy with my school, that is why i barely have time. Seriously, i need to study a lot this semester. I am a bit worry about not having A's from everything this semester. Since i also work a lot, i dont have time for study... i so study but from 9 pm till midnight. Every morning i have to leave the house at 6:45 am. Without two coffees per day i wouldnt survive. But you know what i am happy that i can keep up with this speed as well. :) I think my time managing skill is awesome!!!! Working 10 hours per day plus being a full time students is a hard score. I dont complain about the many working hours. I like being busy. My only concern is my study and grades. Would be easy just work ten hours per day and go home and do not have responsibilities for school. I am a committee member of the Travel, Exposition and Meeting Management Club at Richland College, so I spend my Saturday mornings with meetings, since couple of events coming up and i took a big part of the planning, organizations. 

Bowling night...

,

A sweet card from one of my reader...

Kriszta, nagyon szepen koszonom a kepeslapot. Imadtam. You definitely made my day. Majd egy megy vissza hozzad a kozeljovoben, igerem. Puszi :*

About my ex host family: I still live with Warren, who is out of state a lot. I am by myself with the dogs for days. I love this situation. I feel way better. I do my working schedule, so i don't need to feel frustrated about they can call me anytime to go home and work...because how u know i never had an exact schedule which drove me crazy. Now i am managing my own time, and i can do extra babysitting at night and so on. Oh yeah, besides my weekends daytime job i am going at night to babysit as well, But this one is not every weekend just time to time. It varies. I am living here for free, but I am taking care of his dogs. Also, I am cleaning the whole house, but he pays for this. So, literally, I am working here part time as well. About Amanda.... i really liked her.... but her behaviour towards me changed a lot. I didnt see her after my return. We texted for  a week but not anymore. I wanted to see her and the kids but now i dont feel like seeing her at all. She got pissed of that why I am living here and why i dint try to find a new live in nanny job. She was saying such a things that it is not fair that i got to still live here. Also, she was sending me pictures about her tollway bill for the Altima i drove. The bill was from May till December. She asked me to pay it. When i got here I asked her how to share the tollway bill and she said dont worry about it and now when they moved out she comes to me with this. Also, i drove the kids more on tollway than for my own, but doesnt matter. I didnt want to be rude, but seriously i didnt have time do deal with all these.... I got upset that she is acting like a kid, but hopefully one day she will realize that she shouldnt be like that with me.  It is not like i have family members here or so on.... To be honest i think that she thinks that I have something with Warren which is ridiculous. We lived together for a year she should know me that much to be sure that i wouldnt be with him or any old men lol.  Btw he is dating, but i cant go and say that to her lol.... The other day Amanda send an e-mail to Warren that be sure that Dosel (one of the dog) doesnt think that Dalma is her mom. The email contained just this single sentence. It was too ridiculous. I dont want to be in-respectful but i feel like an adult should think more about her/his action. 

By the way, I dont want to sound like a person who is complaining about the too much work and school and so on.... But to be an international student is obviously a hard core job... especially when u dont get any funds from anyone... I mean like scholarship or family support or so on....

I am super grateful for everything i have here and for all the opportunity i get from life. Recently i became so sensitive about it again.... I am proud to be who I am now.... I dont want to sound cocky but seeing all these spoiled American girls i am so proud... even tho I am just a nanny...lol :) "If there is a will, there is a way". One of my favorite quote.... Being a nanny is great and fun job but of course my dream carrier is not this.... 

Okay guys, it is time to go....and get back to my accounting lol..... on a Saturday night ... what a fun :) 

Anyways, I am happy that i was able to give you a brief update..... 

Have an awesome Sunday....

Love you all... even tho i am not showing up here that often....

Hugs and Kisses

Crazy - Old Stuff

I didn’t share something with you in the fall. I kept in contact with Sasha for two months from end of September till end of November. I am not proud of this act. Maybe I shouldn’t do that, maybe I should…. I don’t know what would be the correct way…. But what I know now is that I didn’t regret that we were meeting couple of times. I know, I know…. He is married, and even tho I was able to meet with him. Probably you are blaming me now for it. You are right, and I accept it. I know it wasn’t appropriate, but I couldn’t resist for talking to him. I wanted to see him so bad. I wanted to know what is going on with him. His wife didn’t move to Dallas yet at that time. (I was wondering what a marrige that after the wedding 7 months passed and they didn’t live together yet) Probably, she is here in Dallas now. I don’t know, because we are not in contact anymore. It is the best for now. I had a very hard time. I had a very hard two months, while I was seeing him. I remember the very first meeting after 8 months not seeing eachother or knowing anything about each other. This meeting was in end of September. We met in Starbucks, than wanted to go to watch a movie, but we misschecked the show time so we just ended up in a restaurant. That conversation was so nice over there, but painful at the same time. The strange thing I didn’t feel that we didn’t talk such a long time. Everything went so smoothly, it seemed we  said good bye at the Dallas airport couple of days ago. However it was 1,5 year ago when I left from him. I was definitely happy to see him again. At that lunch I was crying why talking to him. He seemed sensitive too, but didn’t cry at that moment. However, his eyes were watery too. We were hugging a lot. I know he cares about me. I know he always cared about me. I don’t care what other people say about him, I know how was our relationship, and I am pretty sure that he loved me. My friends in Dallas always say that he is an asshole, and he just used me. But I know, it is not true, it may seem like, but I know his feelings. After that lunch when we said goodbye he started to cry. You wouldn't see him cry often. It is very rare. Seeing his tears meant a lot to me. He didn't need to talk. I knew everything without words.

So for two months we were meeting quiet a lot. We went for a movie, lunch, dinner. He was even cooking for me. (My favorite Iranian dishes.) I was always afraid someone will see us. Everything was a  secret. I didn't even tell to my friends. I knew they would kick my ass. They would be super upset with me knowing that I was seeing him. However I told to my family. I even told to my mom, and she was crying with me through the phone. She knew how much I loved him. I know I did a lot’s of mistake. However I don’t want to feel that everything was just my mistakes. It was his too. It was both of us mistakes. We weren't ready to face with all those culture differences.

In the first month I was just happy seeing him again, but in the second month it was very painful. It started to hurt so bad. I started to cry a lot. Almost every day. I didn’t recognize myself. I became so weak, terribly weak. It was hard to see that I am down that much again. I didn’t want to do anything. I didn’t want to see my friends that often, and I didn’t want to go out/socialize at all.

Than day by day, I realized that it is not good that we are in contact and we need to stop seeing each other. I told him, and we tried to keep distance. We didn’t meet for a month, but still talking a lot through messages. Than slowly we completely stopped talking. Without saying anything. But you know what, I know he doesn’t need explanation, how I don’t need it either. Without words we can understand each other and the situation. The ggod thing that we didn’t argue at all during these two months. We didn’t say anything bad to each other. We kinda act like “grown ups” J.

I didn’t regret it because I had nice time with him and also I understood again that this broke up was for our best. I trully loved him, and after all these situation I say he is a good man, and he has a good heart. Not everything clear is about him, and about his marriage, because he didn’t want to talk about it to me, and I didn’t want to force him to talk about it. He said couple of things on what I surprised tho.

By the way he still has all the decorations that I made in his house. He keeps everything on the same place how I left it more than 1,5 years ago: same candles, flowers and so on. I was surprised on this, because I think it is not good that after being married seeing all these stuff I made every day. Maybe boys don’t care… just we girls are like that… but honestly it was strange because he even kept in his room the little stone what I got for him from San Francisco written on it Love with Japanese letters.

Again, I am not proud of this two months, but I still wanted to share it, because it was part of my life too. It was something what I did tho. I don’t think it would make any sense to write blog if I lie or keep things in secret. That is my life. This is me. This is Dalma and  her life in America. This is my “americandream”.

I am able to say from my heart that I wish happiness for him. And if there wouldn’t be love I couldn’t say this from the bottom of my heart. I know God has a plan with him, and with me as well. I know he knows why he wanted us to not be together. I may not understand everything now, but I know I am in good hands. I accept his plan, and his will. I believe in him. Amen 

Little update

Hello everyone…

 I know I didn’t give you any update in the last few months. Honestly I was super busy with school, work, gym, and of course friends. (I always make time for them!). I wish I would update more often tho. There are lots of things happened recently, I still want to post about those events; however, I decided to give you quick update about what is going on right now. Guess where am I right now? On a flight…. And where am I going? To Budapest. If everything goes okay I will land in an hour. So excited to see my sister, nephew and brother in law. I didn’t tell to anyone that I am going home, because I wanted it to be a surprise. Actually I told to my brother in law, because he is coming to pick me up at the airport. My flight from Chicago was delayed with 2 hours. Haha. As always!!! I would surprise if once I fly somewhere everything would go smoothly. So, it really seemed that I will miss my other connection from London to Budapest, that’s why I told to my brother in law to tell to my sister that I am coming, because she may would get upset why and where he needs to leave on New Year’s ‘Eve. Oh, yeah today is 31^st of December.

I have so many things to write about, and I don’t even know now where to start. First of all, my host family split up. It is final at this time. They had arguments throughout the year. One day they were happy, and the other day they weren’t. This is not life. They were screaming couple of times in front of me too. They always said sorry for doing this in front of me….. I felt uncomfortable tho. When they were fighting in December, I thought it last for a few days, and after that everybody is happy again. Well, not at this time. Warren made them to move out. So, Amanda and the kids left the house after Christmas on the 26^th.  He actually told her to move out like 10 days prior, but she hoped they can fix their problem again. It didn’t happen. Warren seemed that this time it is final. I was driving Amanda’s car, so the first thing I needed to do is buying a car. I found a really nice Chevrolet Sonic, 2012. 

I was so happy for it. However, I wasn’t ready to buy a car literally from one day to the other. I never bought a car here, and I didn’t even know what documents I need, I didn’t know anything about insurances. At the same time, I didn’t even have time to look for it deeply, since I had to help Amanda packing her and the kid’s stuff. I spent my Christmas with boxing. 

 I felt sorry for Amanda and Ryder, but not for Alex. She is a mean girl, and her behavior is terrible. I hope she will change now, at least a little bit. She was spoiled way too much.

One day before Christmas quarter of my tooth broke. Yeap, it sounds funny, but it happened. How? I tried to open a pistachio with my teeth. I learned my lesson from it and I hope you too! Never, ever try to open anything with your teeth. It was that bad that I couldn’t wait till May or June, when I planned to go home for a vacation. Since I don’t have dental insurance it would cost so much to fix my teeth in U.S. Seriously it is cheaper if I get a flight ticket + pay for my teeth back home than go to dentist in Dallas. The other reason is making the decision to visit home is because I felt so overwhelmed in that situation with my host family. They put me in the middle of everything. They didn’t want to have normal conversation. Through me they were communicating. I felt emotionally down. I was stressed for couple of days till I found a car and so on. I didn’t want to leave to Europe without having a car, because when I get back I need to go to school, find a job and so on.

I even missed gym for a WHOLE week. This is a disaster for me. I never do that. Few last days I had to run lots of errands plus going to stores buying gifts to family, friends and so on.

Warren and I decided that I stay there even without kids, look for the dogs, clean and keep organized the house. He can still give a little money, but that wouldn’t be enough for anything, but now I can have a part time job or more. I may need to go back cleaning houses if I don’t find nanny job. But you know what? I don’t care. I do everything what I can. Especially now when I had to put my saved money to a car.  I am sure a great year is waiting for me and I can save up again. I don’t want to worry about money, but I need to start working hard from Monday till Sunday when I go back. I hope it will not take long time to find a job. I was already talking with some families, and it would sound awesome. They even liked me. But, the problem is that they need someone from 5^th of January when school starts. In Europe I can’t use those applications for looking childcare job. I need to wait till I get back to Dallas. Now I just want to make all my teeth nice again, and have a quality time with my family and friends. Who knows when can I see them again? I am so curios what is my mom and dad reaction going to be when they see me. J I was just talking to them on viber from Chicago Airport. Haha. It was noisy because of the speakers, and I told them I am on a bus station. They didn’t realize anything. They forgot I don’t even use bus in Dallas. Haha. Also, my other sister, who leaves in the next village in Transylvania, just got a baby 2 weeks ago. I can’t wait to hold her. They don’t know either that I am going home. Actually I told to 3 friends, one from Brussels, and the other from Budapest and the third one is from back home. I always wanted to do a surprise arrival, but I couldn’t keep it in secret because I was that excited about going home. In this case I could, because I booked my ticket just a week ago. Even one week was hard to not tell to my friends. It was so funny when they texted or called me and they said last year at this time I was home with them. I was just smiling that I will surprise you again in couple of days.

I feel I done so much things in this year, I know another great year is waiting for me with new hopes and bigger dreams. Honestly, I love my life and I wouldn’t change anything on it.
