The fourth one

I don't have enough strength (and will actually) to write a long elaboration 'bout my poetry evening. So simply  I'm going to show you some photos and back to work. It was just one more great event in this year. Loud, creative and full of spontaneity. The picture shows Peter, guitarist and my classmate ;)

                                                Faustyna and her calm interpretation

                                  Daria, Bartek and... well... some trials of interpretation ;)

                                                                            Just me

And now, I will give you a few picture tips 'how to kiss a microphone properly' xD I've noticed that in the photos and I find it quite embarrassingly amusing:P

                                               Keep your lips as close it as you can! :D

Pleasant, isn't it? :P

Take care,

A.

Ania and her groupies...! xD

Wiciu, Bartek, me, Paweł, Wojtek and Piotruś with his little precious :D

thank you guys for all your help. you're irreplaceable ;)

My fourth poetry evening is over. There's no more poems, no more loud music, no crazy ( ^^ ) musicans, no cheesecake... The candles are extingiushed, the dishes are washed, the floor is swept. No more poetry - just reality with lots of duties.


Take care,
A.

Pictures...! :)

My poetry evening's photos. The promissed ones ;) Enjoy :*

Me and Bartek

Justyna, me and Monika. Last tips before performance ;)

 It really seemed to be a catastrophy. It was't funny at all.

Anna is smiling :D

...and writing a special dedication :P

That's all for now. Take care,

A.

Simply happy ;)

It was impossible… Impossible to made it work… But at least: IT WORKED OUT! J Impossible’s possible.

I’ve had my third poetry evening two days ago. In the morning, just a few hours before the event, everything was unfinished. Everything seemed to be… a CATASTROPHY! My musician didn’t answered my phones, so I felt so helpless. I couldn’t have a poetry evening without music…!That’s why I’ve started to look for a new person who could be my pianist. No one. Maybe a guitarist…? No one. For goodness sake! Even a DJ would have been welcomed… I was calling to various people for over two hours. It was so tiring but more than tiring – stressful. Finally, at about 3 o’clock I’ve founded someone who could play for me. I was so relieved! ;) Wojtek saved my life. Or maybe just my reputation ;) But I had to find a piano for him. I’ve decided to take school’s piano and locate it in proper classroom. I needed help so I’ve asked a few boys (younger than me but strong enough to take piano to the classroom) for a help.

After that I could take a deep breath. ‘My poetry evening won’t be a disaster’ – I thought. And indeed, it wasn’t :P Actually It was quite nice... All right. It was wonderful for me but I’m not particularly objective ;) My friends helped me a lot. They made great decoration, operated the sound equipment, baked delicious cake (I made croissants J It’s almost a tradition ), recorded a video and took really good photos. I have to thank them all – especially: all my class 3C, my Polish teacher,  Justyna, Monia, Bartek, Wojtek and Wojtek, Kuba, Mrs Giza and all my former teachers who came to see me, guests and new friends whom I met then. If I would like to thank all of you by name I had to make a long list… So simply. Thank you guys! J

I’m authentically happy that it had worked out. When it finished I couldn’t stop smiling. Broad grin was constantly on my face. It was a great feeling. Still is :P

Kisses,

Ania J :*

PS  I’ll show you pictures as soon as it’s possible. Hope in a few days ;)

Till then you can watch a few videos:

The Trooper

I drew Eddie Hunter a few days ago ^^ Now he's above my bed. Next to Eddie from 'Killers' and Eddie from 'Piece of mind'. And... next to Eddie's head... It's hard to explain so I'd better stay quiet ;)  Ed 'The Trooper' is one of my favourites. Because of the beautiful British flague. And madness in his eyes. Eddie has got unmercyful look. I suppose ;) I simply adore him. The song is also amazing.
My red orange tea, too ;)


"The Trooper"

You'll take my life but I'll take yours too
You'll fire your musket but I'll run you through
So when you're waiting for the next attack
You'd better stand there's no turning back.

The Bugle sounds and the charge begins
But on this battlefield no one wins
The smell of acrid smoke and horses breath
As I plunge on into certain death.

The horse he sweats with fear we break to run
The mighty roar of the Russian guns
And as we race towards the human wall
The screams of pain as my comrades fall.

We hurdle bodies that lay on the ground
And the Russians fire another round
We get so near yet so far away
We won't live to fight another day.

We get so close near enough to fight
When a Russian gets me in his sights
He pulls the trigger and I feel the blow
A burst of rounds take my horse below.

And as I lay there gazing at the sky
My body's numb and my throat is dry
And as I lay forgotten and alone
Without a tear I draw my parting groan.

PS I am working as a shop assistant helper ^^ It is not really ambitious job but it's all about earning money. Just a few weeks and just a few bucks. Nothing special.

PPS Sorry for so short note but I am very sleepy...  Very, very, very sleepy... I am almost sleeping during writing these words ;)

Take care,

‘Back to black’

Almost a month ago I came back from Catalunya. I’ve been there for ten days. And  it was unforgetable trip. Because of Catalunya’s beauty and because of people who I met there. Spain is incredibly scenic and that’s why  I want to show you some photos. They were taken  in Tortosa, Roquettes and Barcelona.

I’ve never seen such a beautiful places in my whole life. Catalunya is really colorful. Full of smells, sounds and tastes. There are orange trees all around.  It’s picturesque. And it’s warm! The temperatures were about 25-27 degrees C.

 It was such a pleasant feeling when I could wear only top. Without any extra jumper or jacket. I’ve really enjoyed spanish sun ;) Catalunya was awesome.  But not only the place was great. I love Spanish people. They were so free and open.

You know,  I was walking down the street and passing strangers who were saying ‘Hola’. Even if they didn’t know me. It was pretty nice ;) To be honest with you, I’ve been missing it since we came back to Poland… Polish people are not as open as Spanish. Or the Dutch. Or Portuguese. Yes. Potruguese people were totally cazy. Wonderful. And they were excellent teachers during my first ‘real’ meditarean lunch. I’ve tried to eat paella (honestly really, really, really tasty ;) ) with shrimps, etc.

 Eating and ‘undressing’ pawns is not as easy as it seems to be. Trust me ;) But it’s worth the price. To sum up, COMENIUS in Spain was awesome! I’ve seen plenty of beautiful places. I’ve tried lots of new things. I’ve met gorgeous people and I’ve extended my English a little bit. I’ve enjoyed it very, very much. Thank you guys for everything!

Take care,

Ania

PS  ‘Fluffy cheeks’ and ‘Trzy kaczki’ are still my favourites :PPP  Hugs for you :P

 

Beware Spain! I'm comin' ! :D :D :D

I was packing all Sunday long :))  It was tiring activity but it helped me discover that I have got plenty of clothes in my wardrobe! It was pretty suprising actually :D Generously speaking I usually wear black clothes. Black jeans, black shirt plus black belt or black ribbon in my hair... But... When I discovered that I owe many light yellow, white or floral skirts I've decided to take them with me :P The last time when I wore them was seven... maybe eight years ago. Long, long, long time ago :)

 I am also taking my camera 'cause I want to take many beautiful photos. Not olny in Barcelona. Everywhere. And I want to photograph people as well as places. :))

PS  I have been listening to Yann Tiersen for a few weeks. He's totally brilliant! I especially like 'Le moulin' which is really beautiful. Really...

I like also 'J'y suis jamais all' , 'Sur Le Fil' or 'II'

 Yann Tiersen - Le Moulin 

Yann Tiersen - Sur Le Fil 

Yann Tiersen- J ' y suis jamais allYann Tiersen - II 

That's all for now. Take care :)

Like a chocoholic! :)

Whether it is dark, white, chocolate cake or some other type, I just adore chocolate. :)  It is hard to find somebody who doesn’ t enjoy its excellent taste. There’s plenty of chocolates in the markets and I’ve tried most of them. I’m some sort of choc gourmet :D  I have got my favourite ones. But there are also chocolates which I only like, not love ;P I could kill for good double-milk chocolate… Or for the one with an interesting filling. For example a coconut filling :D As you can see I have a clear preference. I adore milk choc and I particularly don’t like chocolates with yogurt filling… :)

All right  :)  Let’s not talk ‘bout me. Let’s talk ‘bout the chocolate :D

Among all of the different types of chocolates, dark chocolate is considered healthiest chocolate. :)   The ingredients of dark chocolate are compose of vanilla, sugar, cocoa butter, and lecithin. It is called dark chocolate because of its dark color which is due to the high percentage of cocoa. There are bittersweet chocolates and semisweet chocolates and these all are from the dark chocolate category. Dark chocolate is also divided in several variants. There is a certain sweet dark chocolate which is called like that because it has high sugar content. And if there is some dark chocolate on the market, there is also a light or white chocolate. Why chocolates have large quantities of cocoa butter in it. This is why it tastes more like vanilla, has a mild chocolate taste and white color.

Milk chocolate is created by harvesting cocoa beans and processing it. Afterwards it is roasted and grinded it until its fine and starting to liquefy. And it is mixed with sugar and vanilla and other flavorings and left out to be solidified in molded into whatever shape the manufacturer wants it to be. And basically, that’s the process in that the time that is spent on the chocolate is quite long. That is the reason why it isn’t that easy to reach out. Specially milk chocolate.

Speaking of milk chocolate, it is created using the same process; the only difference is condensed milk is present in large amounts on it. Its actual ingredients are cocoa butter, sugar and milk. :)

Some say that it is in the chocolate and some say it is not even chocolate. No matter what they say about it, white chocolate is still one of the favorites when talking about sweets. White chocolate is actually not totally chocolate. :) What I mean is it is in the chocolate but it is mixed with something else, so basically, it’s a hybrid. What makes it different is the process that it went through. It differs from the traditional process of creating chocolate. Particularly the taste, it is more being on the creamy vanilla case rather than the chocolate taste. So to know what exactly the difference between chocolates and white chocolate, we will discuss briefly how chocolates are made. And when we come to the point where the difference is evident, we will then emphasize that difference.

I'll be writing soon :) Take care.

Sounds of piano and vanilla tea...
