The Nothing Box

Have you ever heard about this amazing idea of the nothing box?! It is about men and it always makes me happy :D It is easy: do you know what men are thinking about when they have nothing to do at the concrete moment? NOTHING. Yes. They are able to not think. It is called “The Nothing Box”. It is a place in their brains which is totally white, without any footprint of any thought. I am a real woman and for me it is impossible just don’t have thoughts somewhere In my mind. No matter if I’m lying on the sofa and having the rest, listening to music, reading a book, watching a movie… I’ve got always thoughts, something on my mind. Quoteing Mark Gungor, if woman came into the nothing box, she would immediately put flowers somewhere on the floor, hang on lovely net curtains, turn on a veeery beautiful song, fulfill the bookshelf with romantic novels… and the essence of the nothing box is… its emptiness J It is very charming way to describe how do men’s brains work, isn’t it? J W...

Trying to live with passion

I think passion is essential in our life. The perfect example is my mum. Some months ago she started to paint crystals. She paints everything: glasses, vases, jars, bottles…almost everything made with crystal. She also decorates candles with decoupage methods she had found somewhere on the internet. And I can admit her behaviour has changed recently. She’s more happy, more creative, more calm…but the most important: the level of stress has reduced! During last six months she has been going through a lot of problems at work. And now she copes with them decidedly better. It is like her other world where she can escape always to have a great rest and free her mind  J I think everyone needs this kind of “space”, just for yourself. The space that no one sees, sometimes even no one understands… I realized that I don’t have my own. Some years ago I loved writing. Writing everything: poems, letters, stories, diary… As I started to study and work, I don’t have time for that. And I als...

Vlogs again!

Today I want to share with you some Polish vlogs, generally about languages. The first channel is “Po Cudzemu” where the lady Arlena Witt is talking about English. I’m still not sure if I like her, something in the way she talks winds me up, but it does not mean that her movies are not merits-related ;) I think that the content is good and, what is more, she encourages people to use English. She also gives a lot of examples from films, this is also quite interesting. The other channel is “Mówiąc Inaczej” created by Paulina Mikuła. She’s talking about her great passions: Polish language and journalism. She’s very creative woman. To my surprise, she’s in love with Warsaw so she lives there (I like big cities but Warsaw is too… I don’t know, just not for me). In each chapter she gives advices how to speak polish correctly in very funny way. As far as I know, a lot of people or even parents with their children watch her channel to get some knowledge about polish. Good job. I think t...

Easter

Did you realize plans during this Easter? I had a lot!!!! As always when I come back home, though :) I love Easter even more than Christmas :) Not because of gifts (we don’t buy them for Easter in my family), just because of the importance of this feast and the time of the year (spring is the best season!). I have a lot of power in life generally (its level reduces a little bit just when I’m entering university…) so I also make a lot of plans. Almost all of them, fortunately, are realized. This time I wished to spend time with my family and friends, cook, bake, read two books and do jogging with my mum in the nearest park :) And what? I did it!!!!! J The satisfaction is irreplaceable :)

I don’t like facebook

I suppose some of you would ask me right now if I am insane ;) Well, I am not. Until my 14 th birthday I was writing letters to my friends from holidays. Now I am 24 and I’m still sending postcards. Since my 10 th birthday I have been writing a diary (in notebook, not on computer) and I’m doing it until now. I love the feeling of writing. I love writing to other people. Showing them that they’re important and I’ve got time for them. I love looking at people and listening them. I really like to help some of them (sometimes it is good just to listen or give some advices or have a bottle of wine together ;) ). I cannot say facebook is totally unnecessary. We use it to communicate at university or work. It make it easier and faster. But when it’s about closer relations, it is not a good idea to use just facebook… relations with friends or family shouldn’t be easier and faster… Am I right? I can observe changes. I used to have better contact with my old friend from Warsaw that I...

Other kind of jobs

I’m starting to think if I have an obsession related to jobs. Nevertheless, I’ve been thinking about my jobs. I had a lot. (Maybe I should try to do something like Lucie from the last post I put here: 5 Days As a Waitress, 5 Days As a Shop Assistant, 5 Days As a Receptionist…).  I was a hostess in IKEA. I had to wear a terribly orange T-shirt with white letters: I K E A  F A M I L Y (members of ikea family have got various kinds of discounts). My obligation was to encourage people to join to ikea family and, I don’t really know what, change their lifes or something. I was also working as somebody who has to put some data from the questionnaire to the computer. I even don’t know if this position has its name. I was working as a waitress in some clubs and also as a cashier in KFC. Ugly jobs where you have the pressure to be always perfect and kind, but with the lowest pay possible. Lower than the lowest. I was also a receptionist in hostel. You know. This little “s” b...

Vlogers

Hi! Today I’m going to write about something different than my job J I would like to focus on, let me say like this, the current trend of making vlogs. I’ve started to watch some vlogers recently because earlier I hadn’t been convinced it could be interesting. I started with a polish ones, mostly about cosmetics, fashion and lifestyle. After watching some episodes I got to be more and more interested in what is going to be presented in the next movie. I started to be inspired by the girls who are showing their clothes (well, it was the time of my life when I was totally out of fashion), talking about cosmetics, etc. I also found some american and english girls who are making vlogs (I’ve even found a polish woman who has moved to USA from Poland and, except fashion and cosmetics, she also talks about her move, she describes changes, feelings and new experiments – very interesting!). Recently I've found two totally amazing girls that I recommend to watch. The first one's ...
