Hey All,

January 11th this year I read that Miep Gies had died. She was one of the people who hid Anne Frank from the Nazis during World War II. She discovered and preserved the diary of Anne Frank when she the Franks were arrested to give it back to the father when he returned.
When I read this news, I first wondered why I have never been to the house of Anne Frank. The second thing I thought of was the movie called "The Freedom Writers" (Trailer). Although it is not the real Miep Gies, it is a wonderful scene where she tells the kids that they are the heroes.



I just want to say that if you haven't seen that movie yet, I want to recommend that movie to you, it's a great movie to watch!

Hey All,

A very short blog, but yesterday I'ven been to the movie "a law abiding citizen".

This movie was a good movie and definitely not a good movie for a Sunday afternoon. This is finally a movie again with a very good storyline with some nice twists which you don't expect.

Short, if you want to see a good thriller with a good storyline, this is a movie you would want to see.

Cheers!

After the high-school reunion on Saturday, I had to work again on Sunday. I had a presentation due on Monday, and I didn't finish it yet. It was a bit hard getting to work on Sunday after the high-school reunion, it was a bit later than planned, but I still managed to drag myself to work.

After the presentation on Monday I had to prepare for another presentation on Friday. I still had to read some articles and put together the presentation (of about 1 hour :S).

The presentation ended up pretty well, I got some nice new ideas during the discussion afterwards, so I can continue with work.

For now, I'm going to enjoy my weekend, relaxing today and celebrating my mom's birthday tomorrow.

Cheers!

A high-school reunion, when I read it the first time, I couldn't imagine that it was already 9 years ago since it was the last time that I walked out there. But I was curious what happened to some old friends and therefore I decided to go.

Last week it was finally time that I would get some classes again at my high school. It was a little bit strange to walk through those hallways again, especially since they completely changed the hallway where I've spend quite most of the breaks during high-school. Fortunately not everything has changed and the canteen was still the same and also the coffee there didn't change.

In the afternoon there were several classes you could attend to, but only 2 time slots, so a decision had to be made. Unfortunately there were no beta teachers, so I decided to go to the teachers that could tell a story in such way that everyone would listen, even if they didn't like the subject. In other word to the teachers I thought were good ones.

After classes I was hungry (of course) and I went to have a diner with some of my old classmates. Diner consisted of some good laughs, talks , good Greek food and 1 glass of wine (I was driving that day ).

After diner we headed back to high-school were the party already started in the canteen and the sports-complex. The band, music and the atmosphere was great. Seeing some of the ‘old’ friends again was sometimes a bit strange, but mostly really fun! I had a blast and around midnight we even went to a bar, not the bar we used to go to, but we kinda feel old in that bar nowadays .

Story short, I had a blast at the high-school reunion, it was great meeting some old friends and we definitely should do this again sometime!

Cheers!

Sometimes you stumble on a fun movie on the internet. Especially when you're working at home in the evening and want to do something else for a few minutes. Yester was an evening like that and I stumbled on this movie.

Should this be how math should work?

Maybe not really math you can use in science, but still fun to watch.

Cheers!
