Coocking problem

I hate coocking. I really do. It so stressful for me. I also can't cook and I'm wandering if I hate it because I am not able to do it right or the opposite. Sometimes I see a nice and easy recipe and I think wooow, I will make it! Of course it never happened! It's just that I don't know how to move in the kitchen, all that stuff makes me nervous. Usually coocking requires a lot of differents pots, knifes and it make me sick that I have to use all this things and wash them after all...oh god. It is not that I eat only sandwiches of course, but I try to use 3 ingidientes max and one pot. This is the level of meals that can make and I do it. What i mostly cook is pasta. Pasta is one of the reason why I love Italy. You only have to cook some pasta, add some sauce, some vegetables, wipe off some parmesan cheese and done!!!! 20 or less and you have a tasty meal!! Isn't it incredible? I think it is. All my friends knows that in my house they can eat two things: what they make for themselves or pasta. I sometimes try to do something else for my boyfriend but after all ideas he says "hey, why don't you make me some spaghetti's?" I don't know if he actually likes it or just eat it for please me, important is that he eats and doesn't complain. 

So, for everyone who has the same problem... trust me! There is nothing better that pasta! 

Keep calm and...study!

I am one of these person that must have something to do, otherwise I get boring and I feel extremely uncomfortable with myself. Of course, sometimes I appreciate days when I really don't have to do anything and I can just lay in bad without any remorses. But if it is more than a few days I get very, very lazy. This is what happen to me after every holidays or christmas break. 

I feel lost, I don't know how to get back to the reality. I have enormous problems with getting up early, and I mean it. It seems like the worst think on earth and when i hear the alarm clock I panic. And when i think about my responsabilities at the University I got an immediate headache. 

Now, how get back to the normal life after all the free time and lazy days? I really don't know but this year I decide at least to try. 

• First of all, a good organization. We have a lot of stuff to learn lately on the University and it is only the beginning, so for not forget about homeworks and exams i wrote down all the things I have to do and I sticked the little papers on the wall, that is how my duties are clearly visible and I will not forget about them! 

• Secondly I will try to do everything step by step, and no everything at once, like I used to do. Small ammont of work systematically, every day instead of all day of stress. When I'm stressed then I can't sleep, and when I can't sleep everything gets more complicated! 

• Finally, I will try to limit my time spent on social media or watching TV series, because it always distract me from everything I am doing. Every time I tell myself that I will only check my emails or I watch just one episode... but we know how it ends. 

If you got some advices that you want to share, leave me a comment! I will be more than pleasure to try it on myself! :) 

Earth without art is just eh

Art is an inseparable part of the world. I can not even imagine how we could live without literature, music, cinematography. Art represent not only the cultural heritage of civilization but also a humanity progress and improvement. Art help us to develop our minds, it let us think and let us dream. 

Today I would like to show you some of my favourite paintings. I'm not an expert of painting, but I like to visit museum and galleries. I admire every exibition which I have a chance to see. When I travel and I visit new places I always pick one or more art galeries or museums and I visi them. It's a part of all journeys. 

 Francesco Hayez - The kiss, 1859

I saw this painting in Pinacoteca di Brera, Milano, during my Erasmus exchange, three years ago. I'd like the way they shows pasison in this painting, it seems like a goodbye kiss, the last and most important kiss.

 Francois Boucher -The Baby Jesus and the Infant Saint John, 1758

I took the picture if this painting in Uffizi Gallery in Florence. I'm not a big fan of sacred art and most of the times the paintingd with Jesus are similiar and boring, but I loved this one immediately. The figures are so sweet, I could watch it for hours!

Caravaggio - Judith beheading Holofernes, 1598-1599

It is situated in the National Gallery d'Arte Antica in Rome. I havn't seen this ine yet but I'm planning a trip to Rome this spring so this is gonna by on my list. I love Caravaggio for the dark background of his paintingd and the amazing expresisons on the faces of the figures. 

 Picasso - Jacqouline with flowers, 1954

Deep colours and the profile of this charming women always make me smile. I found this painting on the internet and I could't stop to look at it. I even put it on my phone wallpaper. 

Renè Magritte - The Lovers, 1928

What I like in this paintings is the mistery, the faces are covered and this is unsusual. When I think of this painting I think of the power of love. That nothing teally matters when two people are in love not even the faces.

William Adolphe Bouguereau - Elegy, 1899

I like the simplicity of this painting and this pale colours. They are in perfect harmony with the girls sad face. The painting is peaceful and quite. 

Around the world

Travels are definitely my favourite hobby. Visiting new places, meet new people, taste new dishes and drinks. I love the feeling of being in the place that I don’t know. The “fresh air” on the unknown city, where you can walk and discover everything, step by step.  Being a tourist is one of the best feelings, that’s for sure! The fact that you can do everything for the first time is super excited. Not only the fact of being in the city is a pleasure but also the journey. I feel comfortable on the airports and stations, I am not afraid to ask people informations etc. 

The worst of all this, is the night before the journey. I like when everything is planned and prepared, I’m always anxious, I’m not sure If I packed everything, I check the wallet every five minutes for make sure that the tickets are right, that I remember the hour of the flight and if the documents are visible. I also prepare my clothes for be sure that I’m not going to spend too many time on getting dressed. As a rule I hate to be late. I prefer to go at the meeting 5 minutes earlier instead of being late. When it comes to travel, it doesn’t bother me if I’m 30minutes earlier, in the end I’m sure that I’m not gonna miss anything.

 I like to visit cities in Poland and also I like to going abroad. For now I’ve seen a few countries in Europe, like: Lithuania, Netherlands, Germany, United Kingdom and Italy. I really enjoyed every single place which I had a chance to visit. I’m looking forward to the next travel! 

Crazy Trains

If someone asks me about a thing that I like but which also makes me furious, my ansewer would definietly be trains. When I say trains I don’t mean the vehicle, of course, but the whole railway company. Lately they used to advertise themselves a lot. Advertisement on the TV and on the internet. They invite you to travel with them and offer excellent condition of the trave;. The problem is that is not always true. They are often unprepared because of several reasons. The biggest problem is that the trains are always late. OK, not literally always, but most of the times, and this is true, not an exaggeration. Other fundamental problem is the weather. It is always a huge surprise. It’s like they never know when the autumn or the winter starts.

I can say that a big part of my free time I spend on the trains. And I always did, since high school. It’s because I always studied away from my hometown. I don’t have a driving license so the trains are the perfect and usually only form of travel. After all this years I even learned how to enjoy the travel by train, how to not get mad for everything (the crowd, unfavorable conditions of travel) and how to deal with people who travels with me. It could sound ridiculous for someone that only a few time was on the train, but people are strange (like Jim Morrison once said) and you never know what new you’ll have to support.

People are one the reasons that drives me crazy. Everything starts at the station. There are the “always late” people, so they run through the station like the patients of the mental hospital. They don’t want to miss the train so they are ready to jump over you instead of waist time on asking sorry, for let them pass. There are also “I don’t know what I’m doing here” people, basicly they stay in the middle of the station asking for help because they don’t know where to go or what to do or where buy a ticket and what kind of ticket. The same kind of people you can easily recognise on the platform because they keep asking “from where gets the train to Cracow” and if this “is the platform 9 for sure”, like the number hanging above their heads was invisible.  Some of them are adorable in all these akwardness, and I always help them. It feels good to share the experience and to give good advices. Maybe because of my kind behaviour and railway tips, someone will leave the car at home and afford themselves a beautiful view from the train. 

Black Sabbath - Crazy train

What's your favourite song? 

Most of the people have their favourite singer or band. They go to all the concerts, have all the CDs, posters, autographs and photos. Their also have a favourite song. That one special song, which they love, which makes them cry of commotion. It's also true that most people that I know like one kind of music. They are also part of groups defined by the music they listen to. So there we have havy metal, long hair boys, some crazy punks with colorful hair, techno music lovers and those who like everything that they hear on the radio. I can not include myself to any of theese groups, because I like a lot of kind's of music! Music was always present at my family home. We listened to the music while doing literally everything. Cooking, cleaning, decorating christmas tree.. without music it was just boring and annoiyng. I still have thousands of strange CDs and each of them is special for me. I choose to listen to them in base of my mood. The are "happy days", "sad days", "rainy days" CDs. Cds for dance, for sing, for party, for house cleaning and for unload the anger. 

Once I was at some party with my friends, and (how it usually is at the parties) different music was played. I was enyoiyng it because I've heard a lot of songs that I didn't know at the time, It's always nice to listen to something new. We started to talk about the music in general, and when I was asked about my musical preferencies I told that I have a lot of favuorites bands, singers and songs. One of the girl looked at me suprised and told me that I'm must to be so immature and that I must have no idea about music at all. That left me spechless for a while for two reasons. First of all I really wasn't prepare for this kind of words, specially during such fun and nice evening. And secondly, I never thought that way. I was always sure that my taste in music is actually quite good and the fact that I listen to different kinds of music is beaucuse I just love it. Sometimes the lyrics catch me first, sometimes is the melody that make me pay attention to a song, and some of the times I know that I will like the song from the begining, from the firts chords I hear. 

I most clearly know what kind of music I don't like. I can specify this without a doubt and make a list of bands, singers and songs that I dislike, detest and even hate. Some songs make me wanna throw the radio away. The worst is always when it comes to travel at the bus when I don't have any possibility to change the radio station. Or when my roomate decide to listen music out loud, I can't even blame her because sometimes I also do the same, so I just must suffer and wait till it ends. 

Basicly, when it comes to say what's my favourite song I must to think about it for ages and ages because "I just like stuff", some of them more, some of them less but still. And when it comes to say what I truly deteste the anserw is always ready. While writing this I was thinking about my truly favourite top10 songs and after longs conteplations, I choose the following:

Good Job mr Smarzowski

I'm a movie lover, that's a fact! I love going to the cinema, I always try to go with someone because I like to share my opinion and feeling about a movie but when it's not possible I do not hesitate to go by meself. When I have the possibilty I go to the cinema with my mum wich is even a bigger movie fan than me. Thera are plenty reasons why I enyoj to go to the cinema with her but the most important is that I'm 100% sure that she hasn't senn this movie already and also because we have similiar taste and sense of humor. Few days ago I went to the cinema with my flatmate, we had a free evening and we decide that it would be perfect to see a movie. We was undecided between Bridget Jones and Wołyń. In the end we choose to see the second option. 

The story starts with a wedding of a polish girl and an ucrainian boy. Everything seems perfect, everyone is happy, the family and friends are dancing, eating and drinking. This idyllic picture unfortunately had to give place to the real topic of the movie...the war. The war and all what comes with: pain, destruction, blood, tortures and death. Cruel death of thousands of womens, mens and childrens. Who learnd or read about the Volhynian Massacre knows that those times was one of the most bloody in the history of Poland and Ucraine. Smarzowski shows a lot of drastic scenes, rappresenting how cruel and uncompromising was the people. People who can cross every line of humanity to get what they thought they deserve. Despite all the injustice and harm showed in the movie, Smarzowski is not blaiming anyone. He did not want to share hate, this is not a call out to some revenge. In my opinion he wanted to show us, to make us remember what happens when people start to despise eachothers. The war is what had destroyed everything. The protagonist was a young girl which fall in love with a boy. And they did't care about the differences between them. The only thing that mattered was the love and respect. And they lost it because of some people idea.

I wish that those two things could finally take over beacuse without them we can forget about peace and unity in the world.
