FASHION #97 #thegreendress Pakistani event with food & fashion show in Amsterdam

Image
I do not know how to do catwalk but because a friend of mine asked me to try, I did. I do not want to be a catwalk model but trying it was fun. Shafia , you can ask me any time, I will say yes. The green dress #thegreendress is huge, amazing and beautiful. It matched with my light green-purple make-up I made for myself today. Make-up: by MAC Cosmetics . Few of the 180 ladies filled my customer research, too. I am happy. It is also difficult to ask 100% of the people (even if it is only 1 minute) if I am in the kitchen with the ladies: spicy chicken, rice, salate, yoghurt sauce and fresh bread. Thanks Shafia for today. It was great to help you. Soon picture (on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest) or video is coming... they sleep, so tomorrow. ;)

I wanted to write about the competion PresentYourStartup. I made plenty of notes in Dutch but I want to write about something else. Today was a half an hour like 24 hours: standing in the rain. And waiting that the café or the bank opens. I came to work at 7.30AM. but I had a day-off. F...CK. Nothing is open so early. I've met a recruiter from Russia. Like in the SOS Love Hungarian movie. When Attila, Feri and Gábor are picked up by the gorillas of a Russian billionair to find the Mr. celebrity finance for his depressed sister. Best Hungarian movie ever!!! He was also waiting for someone. Talk about work and  the competion PresentYourStartup ... that I do not have account at RaboBank but does not matter because all credits are not my type of credits. To much money. I wanna pay it back all in 10 months. We aggried. We will talk more and make a well-written contract. He has a point: he speaks fluently Dutch. YES!! When I cycled home after reading all the bo...

FREEDOM #95 Where are people the happiest?

The residents of Latin America feel the happiest in Gallup's survey 2015. Hungary is not as bad as we are. We are apathetic sometimes. The residents of Paraguay, South America, had the best sense of well-being in year 2015, according to Gallup's "2015 Global Emotions" survey. The top ten places in the list are all Latin American countries. This suggests that public health is not so much affected by the actual economic situation or political structure, but rather by culture. Two queries In the survey, 153,000 people worldwide were questioned, who were questioned about their negative and positive feelings and experiences. The interviewees received such and similar questions: - Have you felt rested yesterday? - Have you respected dignity all day long? - Have you laughed or smiled yesterday?" - Did you do something or have you learned in the last day? Questions about negative emotions were about whether or not the respondent had f...

Who do you need to invite to a party (or workshop)? Pam Houston (Davis, CA), Simon Winchester (New York, & Massachusetts,) and of course Conor Grennan (Prague & Brussels).  They are few of the more than 20 well-known writers who share their travel experiences in the Lonley Planet story book: Tales from nowhere. Pam Houston traveled to West-Australia and wrote a funny part about a sleeping kangaroo and other animals. Others were writing about flow-effect (term by Mihály Csíkszentmihályi psychologist*), the rain season in Sri Lanka, hospital experience in Oxford, UK. Conor Grennan traveled the world in 1,5 years because he had in his mind: "I cannot tell great stories during parties." Now he has...
