Friendship

Some people believe that friendship between men and women doesn’t exist. 

You’re wrong. I have a really good friend in my hometown-Leszno, and he’s a guy. 

We know each other for around 7 years now. Almost every time I visit Leszno we see each other. 

He’s like mega super awesome guy. And he can juggle 7 balls !!! 

He has a girlfriend and she’s completely chill with the fact that we sometimes go to the cinema or McDonald’s together. 

At the beginning I was afraid If she won’t be mad at me or something, but it’s good. 

He told me that there’s no need to afraid of stuff like that. So that fact is confirmed. 

Even my parents and especially my grandma like him . My grandma call him “Mr.Pretty”. That’s kind of funny. 

One time I told them that now I have a boyfriend, They asked me if it’s Amadeusz... 

I had to “disappoint” them, because it wasn’t him.I really love meeting with him. 

Even after 7 years he’s still the same guy I met when I was 14. All that changed is his appearance, but that’s obvious. 

We don’t make yourselves presents for Christmas, birthdays, names’ days. 

We go out somewhere , eat some food and talk about anything we want. 

Do we have arguments? We do. Sometimes the atmosphere can be very heavy. But it lasts for 2 hours at max. 

 For me this is one of the best friendships I’ve ever created.

We already planned that next time We’re gonna eat McDonald’s on my bill. 

I just can’t wait for the next weekend to meet him !

Train, train, train

I love to travel by train. Ever since I can remember I was very happy to meet new people, hear their stories and spend time with them. But a few years ago something has changed. When you enter the train you can see almost every person with a phone.
It's a miracle if they respond to your “good morning”. I've been thinking why things are this way now.
Is this out of disregard for others, or maybe out of fear?
Maybe we are afraid of people, of new people. Maybe we hear a lot of bad news every day?
News about crimes, murders or assaults? Why did we stop wanting to meet new people and make new friendships?
Why did we start being afraid of the “new”? We are people who are open for the Europe.
People who want to travel and discover the world. How can we do this without talking with new people?

What do you think about talking to strangers on a train?
Do you do this? Do you like to listen to the stories of the people you meet?

After two weeks in bed everything must be well. Isn't it true? No.
After two weeks in bed I ended up in an admission room. But all the time that I was there, I had this song on my mind:

Do you remember it?

You know that feeling when someone appears in your life and everything is different, better?
Something is different with you, it's not like this anymore:


But rather it's something like:

There is a Polish proverb that says: if you have a mess in your room, then you have a mess in your life.
In my case it's true – so when my flatmate saw my room recently and she said „oooooh, you actually have a floor,
and oooooh, you have an armchair”, you know something is up :)

I came back to life! Well, almost, because I'm still sick, but I have to come back to the university.
When I saw all of the notes from Ola... that was something like:

But I promise – next time I will write about something good and funny!

Taco Hemingway

Hello again !!!

So for the last 10 days all I’ve been hearing about a guy. And this guy is called “Taco Hemingway” . 
At first I was like “oh nice” and stuff. I’ve never heard that name, so I asked Amadeusz a few questions about that Taco. 
And it started….

Today is 10^th day since he started talking almost only about him. Feelings inside me are really complicated. 
I’m a little annoyed that he has to mention that guy every time we talk. I couldn’t leave it like this.
I looked for Taco on YouTube. I don’t like hip-hop, so after listening to him for 10 seconds I got bored. 
 But I managed to listen the whole “Nostalgia”. ( that’s probably his most popular song) .
Then I decided to listen to another few of his song s, just to make sure . 
 To don’t be the type of human who judge something just by opinions of other people.
I still don’t like him. In my very own opinion based on my own researches of Mr. Hemigway. 
But I must admit that there was one thing that impressed me- lyrics. Some of them have really deep meaning . 
His metaphors are so subtle, and well constructed that it made me respect that guy.:D Even if I still don’t like him, 
He has my respect. But don’t even bother to start a conversation with me if you plan on talking about Taco Hemingway. 
I will just ignore you, and probably turn around and go my own way.
All I need to do now is to inform Amadeusz that we have a looooot more stuff to talk about than just music. 
I’m going to meet him in around 7 days, so I’ll use that time for the preparations. Wish me luck !!!

Smartphones on our everyday life

Hi everyone!
Today I want to tell you about smartphones on our everyday life.

A few decades ago a mobile phone was something sophisticated, available only for the elites. At the beginning they were big and heavy with only one important function – a possibility of wireless connection between distant places. Over the years they started to become smaller, more functional and popular, and available for “average” people. In 2012 over 75% of the population had access to a mobile phone. Today we can see people with phones at work, in school, in public transport, almost everywhere – sometimes even with more than one phone. Having a smartphone has many advantages which make our life easier, but it also has some disadvantages. Nonetheless smartphones are still more and more popular today and they are an indispensable part of our everyday lives.

One of the main influences of smartphones on our lives is the fact that people don't need anything else, because today's phone is multifunctional. It can replace your TV, your computer, a book, notes or even a ticket machine. You have everything in one small electronic instrument. Moreover, people feel safer thanks to permanent access to the network and all the information available there. And let's not forget about constant contact with friends, thanks to which people perceive themselves as social butterflies and build their self-esteem.

On the other hand, we waste a lot of time on our smartphones, using applications instead of looking around and living our lives. Futhermore, it is connected with our impact (or rather lack of impact) on society. Sometimes people are sitting next to each other and instead of talking they are writing messages. We started to become antisocial, insensitive and disrespectful to each other. Moreover, phones were supposed to help us stay in contact with people. They give us a feeling of having lots of friends, but not in reality, because a lot of us are building relationships only virtually.

To sum up, the influence of smartphones on our everyday lives is huge. They have a lot of advantages, but also disadvantages. They make our life easier, but at the same time they complicate it. But above all, they now are an integral part of our life and we have to try to use them properly.

You know this moment, when you think: „This week, I will do everything!”?
You have a million things to do: run a blog, go to work, prepare translations, do tests, 

write a bit of your bachelor's thesis, make presentations...

and then Ola comes with a runny nose and you just know that it won't be possible.

Two days later I was coughing, I had a runny nose, a fever, a headache etc.

I went to a family doctor and he told me to stay in bed for one week.
WHY? Why me? After a few days I was feeling a little better, but that was just silence before the storm.
I wanted to do so many things when I was in bed; maybe at least read a book, learn something... 

but I had no strength. At least it was only for one week, right?
WRONG. I'm sick again and this is my second week in bed. I can't do anything. It's really distressing.
When I think about my backlog of things to do, I want to cry. I hope that all of you are healthy. I hug all of you!

Hi everyone!

Hi everyone!
It's good to see you here again :)

I was in Edinburgh recently, and I visited three National Galleries of Scotland:
- Scottish National Gallery
- Scottish National Gallery of Moder Art
- Scottish National Portrait Gallery

I really like museums but I can't understand one thing – taking photos at the museum.
You know, sometimes you just want to have a photo of a piece of art
– but I saw one man who took a photo of every single painting in the gallery. And I asked myself why?

Where could you use those photos? Why would you do this? Why wouldn't you take a photo of yourself with this painting?
If me or my friend want a photo with a painting, we try to do something more or less special.
We try to be a part of this painting/sculpture or exhibit.
If a man at the painting is skating, do the same! But maybe without ice skates at the museum.
Strike the same pose as him! Why not? It's often very funny and you'll have a good souvenir and a fun memory!

It's evident that in these National Galleries I took a couple of photos with works of art,
especially with portraits, because I love them!
Below you can see my photos :)
