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.

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 ;)

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,
Ania

‘Unhappy fly’s suicide’

I’ve been such a lazy lump! I haven’t written  from ages …! Sorry for that. I promise not to make so long breaks in the future. ;)

We have got holidays but the weather outside isn’t really pleasant… It’s quite english weather actually. Maybe that’s why I want to ask strangers (passing me everyday) ‘Wonderful weather, isn’t it?’ :P But I’m afraid most of them won’t understand me…Unfortunately, ‘cause I love to hear ‘Indeed’ as a response. Probably if I asked someone about the weather in English I would see an ironic look or hear ‘I don’t speak English’. It’s sad…

As I’ve mentioned the weather is not satisfying or even nice… It doesn’t seem to be July. Were are my beloved warm temperatures …? And why am I having  goose pimples…?! :/  I will keep my fingers crossed for better weather… Because of the present one I don’t feel like a broad grin…  ( just listen :  Serj Tankian - Gate 21, Radiohead - Street spirit, Pearl Jam - Sad)

Talking about the English… I’m studying phonetics at the moment. I’m doing some transcriptions, etc.  It’s weird, I know... :D But I like it very much. It is not a typical study for me. Especially when I use Iron Maiden’s lyrics as a base. Sometimes, when I can’t sleep at night, I do some transcriptions. I am a nocturnal creature so… I’ve already done plenty of  them :P

I’m also drinking a hot apple tea with some gooseberry juice. Different but delicious!

Take care,

Ania ;)

PS Today, at about 5 p.m. I was drinking my afternoon tea… Suddenly I noticed a fly. It was flying dangerously close to my cup. Too close…. I wanted to kill it but it killed itself!!! It got into my cup (really slowly) and drown in a hot beverage.  Authentically. It was a suicide!  Unhappy fly’s suicide. I’ve seen something like this for the first time in my life.

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 :)

VoTum

I want you to listen to one piece of music. By polish band called VoTum. Awesome vocals, great drums in the background, lyrics... Just listen. Enjoy


VoTum - Away

'Away- she says, out of this place
Everything's better than here and now",
Tired of endlessly trying to prove
That she could cope with what gets her down.

Each day she takes a look, peers out through the wall
And dreams of outer space, whispering
"I don't want to be here anymore"
And the fields of green disappear, her eyes shut.

Somewhere, somewhere
There's a secret garden where they won't find us
Somewhere, somewhere
There's a secret garden where we belong

I understand, I feel this too,
And sometimes I want out, but prowl up this river somehow
Try to face the fear under your skin
Of how long can you fight,
Knowing that all you get is the sense of losing?

She runs, she runs, she runs ...'

Take care.

Ania

'I wish that for one day I could back in time to the 60's and watch one Beatles performance...'

Well... I wish that also ;)

The Beatles were one of the most charismatic bands in the history of popular music. Everyone knows them. Everyone knows their songs, melodies... Their almost fairy-tale story. That's why I won't remind it again. :) I'll do something a little different...

I'll became a barber who is showing photographs. Unfortunately not in Penny Lane.

 But right here. And right now. :)

Hope you weren't extremely bored ;)  Take care.

Ania

P.S. Some informations 'bout MAIDEN's :)

Iron Maiden are an English heavy metal band from Leyton in east London, formed in 1975 by bassist Steve Harris.As one of the most successful heavy metal bands in history, Iron Maiden have sold over 80 million records under EMI and a total of over 100 million records worldwide with almost no radio or television support.

For the past 30 years, the band has been supported by their famous mascot, Eddie, who has appeared on almost all of their album and single covers, as well as their live shows.

The band took its name after a medieval torture device, which was a box with sharp spikes attached to the inside, into which the victim was placed and then the door was closed, driving the spikes into the body.

Members:  Bruce Dickinson - lead vocals,  Dave Murray - guitar,  Janick Gers - guitar, Adrian Smith - guitar and backing vocals, Steve Harris - bass and backing vocals, Nicko McBrain - drums. 

I've got some posters in my room. My favorite are above my bed. They are almost ancient. They used to belong to my uncle. Now, they are mine :) They are wonderful, aren't they? :)

Okey-dokey :) That's all for now :)  xxx, Ania
