Views from Czech Rep

I know you're all waiting for some pics, so here you are. It took me some time to upload them, 'cause Prince said he won't download them until he'll have time to put them on his blog. He's jealous that I'm usually the first to publish them :) His bad...
So enjoy....

Update / Sprostowanie

I apologize Maja and everybody else - I lied. English version of the article about emigration is available here.

Magister emigracjii

Na dzisiaj tylko krotki post, bo jak dotad jestem dosc zajeta (co mnie bardzo cieszy, bo nuda w pracy to straszna sprawa).
Zostalam bohaterka artykulu :) Jesli jestescie zainteresowani emigracja kobiet, artykul autorstwa Maji the Bee znajdziecie tutaj.

For those, who don't speak Polish, well.... I became a character in an articlre about women's emigration :) If you want to read it - either ask Maja to translate or learn Polish :)

Indian customs

Last week we got this meassage from our team in India:
"Raj Kumar, the film actor, passed away a few hours ago (link below) and we are already hearing from different sources that his fans are brewing trouble in different parts of the city. We must take this serously as Bangalore has already experienced considerable trouble from his fans in the past."
The next news follows it a few hours later:
"Further to this matter, as suspected, the unrest has already begun in the City and A. staff have been asked to immediately leave the office to their respective homes."
They couldn't leave their homes for 2 days! Crazy!!!

Attention, please

Oh yes, one more thing: if you're reading this, please leave some comments from time to time. At least I would know....
Tak, Mloda - to sie tyczy tez Ciebie! I Was, Tatusiu i Mamusiu! Bo wiem, ze czytacie - wysilcie sie czasem na jedno zdanko :))

Polish, job and cleaning

Ok, ok, I promise - no more long Polish posts with names :)
For those, who felt uncomfortable, it was just presentation of my friends here and the strange relationships between them. It was the last time, I promise.
I went to the dentist yesterday. I was concerned, not to say scared - I haven't had my teeth checked for 3 years or more.... I sat at the chair and it took like 5 minutes. Everything is fine, no problems, nothing :))) I'm proud of my teeth, they behave well.
Except that - hmmm, nothing happened recently. We're getting bored at work. By now, we know our job quite well and we're fast. So it takes us about 4 hours to finish everything. We told our manager we want more responsibilities, but it will take a few months to figure something out probably. So we're on the Internet half a day. Like today: it's 11 a.m. and for now I don't have anything left. Something will come, I'm sure, but probably not too much. And that's almost every day. Well, there are usually 2-3 days a week when nothing comes later. I don't mind it too much, but on the other hand it's boring. And the time passes faster when there is some job to do. Also, I'm getting paid for just sitting here which is stupid. Yesterday I left at 4 p.m. Today will be probably similar.
This weekend will be busy - it's Elizabeth's last weekend :(( I love Elizabeth. So we're having dinner on Friday at her place, dinner and clubbing on Saturday and who knows what on Sunday (probably dying hehe). I have to start cleaning before my Mum will come. At least our place is in far better condition than the one in Krakow - it took us 3 days to clean, all 4 of us (even 5 with the owner LOL), for my parent's visit. Good old times. So I should start cleaning soon, as the weekend will be busy. And make my Prince forget he is a Prince for some time (members of Royal Families have cleaners and I'm not going to be his). I hope he will be a good boyfriend and will help me. Hope... he looked at me as I'd be crazy when I said we need to clean the windows. And I meant we - the windows are huge and I'm the small one in this relationship.
Uff, a long post :) Yes, I do not have too much work. But that's enough for now, maybe after lunch I will have some brilliant idea for a next post.

Swieta, swieta ....i po swietach

Pieknie bylo, ale sie skonczylo - znowu w pracy. Dziwne byly te swieta. Zupelnie inne. Moja druga Wielkanoc poza domem, ale rok temu, w Szwecji, zorganizowalismy sobie uroczysty swiateczny obiad (no, sniadanie / obiad). Bo bylo duzo Polakow i wszyscy tesknili za domowa atmosfera. A tutaj bylismy tylko we dwojke. Ale poszlam do Kosciola, w poniedzialek Smingusa sobie urzadzilismy, wzbogaconego o czeska tradycje bicia kobiet witkami. Nie bolalo, takze luz.
W piatek poszlismy do pubu. Wiem, wiem, ze to Wielki piatek, ale nie pilam, tylko siedzielismy i rozmawialismy, takze nie wydaje mi sie, zeby bylo to cos nieodpowiedniego. Spotkalismy znajomych, ktorych dosc dawno nie widzielismy. Wszystko przez "dramat". Gdziekolwiek sie nie pojedzie, wszedzie dramat. Tutaj wyglada to tak: na kursie Roba byla grupka dziewczyn. Po kursie jak sie wyprowadzali z "akademika", podzielili sie w pary: Courtney z Adrianem, Elizabeth z Megan, zostala Lucy, ktora nie wiedziala, czy zostanie w Pradze i wrociala do Anglii na jakis czas, po czym przyjechala znowu do Pragi. Dramat zaczal sie od tego, ze Courtney i Lucy nie tolerowaly Megan, za to lubily Elizabeth. A miedzy Elizbeth a Megan zaczely sie drobne spiecia, ale ogolnie bylo ok. Do pewnego grudniowego dnia. Courtney, Lucy i Adrian wybierali sie na kolacje, zaprosili Elizabeth. A ta powiedziala Megan, ze wychodzi ze znajomymi z kosciola. Tylko, ze gdy stali pod stacja metra, w momencie gdy wlasnie wszyscy sie zeszli, wpadla na nich Megan. No i sie zaczelo. Bo Elizabeth ja oklamala, z tym ze wiedziala, ze Lucy i Courtney nie chca zeby Megan z nimi szla. Od tego dnia sie do siebie nie odzywaja. Najwiekszy problem polega na tym, ze zawsze trzeba uwazac, kogo sie gdzie zaprasza, bo jak one dwie sa w jednym miejscu, to koniec zabawy. I wlasnie przez to nie widzielismy Megan i Marka (jej chlopaka), a Megan jak Megan, nie powiem, zebym za nia wyjatkowo przepadala, ale Mark jest fajny. Dramat, dramt, dramat.... W kazdym razie wieczor minal w porzadku, byl tez Adrian i Ann, nauczycielka z Roba szkoly, ktora caly wieczor zorganizowala. Musze sie przyznac, ze na poczatku bylam o nia troszke zazdrosna. Ale mi przeszlo :)

W sobote bylismy w Krivoklacie, miasteczku oddalonym ok 40km od Pragi. Co roku urzadzaja tam na zamku jarmark wielkanocny. Nie taki jarmark, jak w Polsce na wioskach. Tutaj to staraja sie zrobic bardziej jak sredniowieczy jarmark, z calym mnostwem atrakcji typu sredniowieczna muzyka, wystepy, jedzenie itp. I do tego na dziedzincu zamkowym. Milo bylo - spacerek po lesie, zwiedzanie zamku (wybudowanego czesciowo przez Jagiellonow), i oczywiscie buszowanie po straganach. Kupilam sobie sliczna bizuterie, recznie robiona, wyjatkowa (i do tego tania). Nikt nie ma takiej drugiej.

Weekedn ogolnie minal spokojnie i milo, poza tym, ze wdalismy sie w dyskusje na temat wakacji. Jakis czas temu planowalismy wyjazd do Stanow, ale boje sie, ze nie dostane wizy, wiec zrezygnowalismy. Wspomnialam wtedy, ze moglibysmy pojechac do Szkocji (Roba rodzina stamtad pochodzi). Pomysl spodobal mu sie niesamowicie i wszystkim powiedzial, ze jedziemy, bez zadnego planowania, a zwlaszcza brania pod uwage kosztow. W momencie, gdy zaczelismy sprawdzac ceny okazalo sie, ze to nie takie proste (czytaj: tanie) i bedziemy miec problemy z finansami. Ale Rob sie juz napalil i nie szlo go przekonac, ze to nie najlepszy pomysl, bo nas na to nie stac. No i caly weekend o tym rozmawialismy. On czasem jest jak dziecko, ktoremu spodobala sie zabawka i chce ja za wszelka cene. Caly weekend od soboty chodzil obrazony, ze mam watpliwosci. Ciezka sprawa, ale chyba dal sie w koncu przekonac. Zobaczymy, jak to bedzie i gdzie pojedziemy.... Juz mi sie o tym nie chce myslec. Skonczy sie pewnie na tym, ze albo pojedziemy gdzies w gory i on bedzie chodzil niezadowolony, albo ja po prostu pojade do Polski. Zobaczymy...

Wesolych Swiat!

Zdrowych, spokojnych i rodzinnych Swiat Wielkiej Nocy dla Was wszystkich!
p.s. Smacznej choinki.

C'mon, dance with me

It's already Wednesday - I have no idea how did it happened. I wanted to describe the weekend on Monday or maybe even on the weekend but no....and it's Wednesday. The time passes here like crazy! You can never know what day it is, it's so fast!
Last weekend was great! On Friday Elizabeth invited me to go dancing. It was supposed to be a girls night, but actually guys joined us later. Except for Robi (he told me once he doesn't want me to call him Prince :( so I won't) who said that:
1. he's too tired,
2. he doesn't like dancing,
3. he is too old.
So I went alone. I had a great time!!! I danced for 4 hours with just one short break and as there was no place to sit, getting some rest was difficult. That night was awesome. First of all because of people (I love Elizabeth), the place and music, too: 80's and 90's. A lot of fun. I came back at 4 in the morning :)
On Saturday we went to a very interesting pub to see an Irish concert. The music was great! And the place - wow! It was not decorated in any special way, just with a lot of old items all over the place but it had ATMOSPHERE. And the owner is a quite interesting person, he's the leader of Balbinova Poeticka Strana, Balbin's poetical party! After that we went to African pub with Brazilian band playing. We drunk some more, we discussed our tattoos: Aid has the cutest tattoo in the world - Tigger and Scott has really beautiful ones: Mucha on one shoulder, Roman solider on the second one and Vergil on his back - wow!
So basically that was the weekend. We also went for a nice walk in the neighborhood and by the river on Saturday. We planned to go Stromovka (one of Prague's parks) but the weather on Sunday wasn't so great and we decided to stay home. I went to Church (finally), I felt that I needed that so I'm happy I went. And it was Palm Sunday. I even went to confession! (Mum, you should be happy.) Now I feel free and so light I could fly.
It was a good weekend. I enjoyed every minute of it.
Yesterday I finally got together with Lida. I hadn't seen her for ages! She's very busy - going to Slovakia and spending weekends with handicapped people, working and studying... Latest news: she's going to Nepal at the end of summer for 3 months! I wish I could join her.

It's all about weekends

OK, so I wanted to write about the weekend - as it is the only time something actually happens. But I forgot what we did on the weekend. Hmmm...oh, it was Rob's birthday! We went out on Friday - first to Budwaiser pub, a nice place to hang out. They were playing music form 80's. Then we moved to a rock pub, not so nice place, but we were enjoying it. And we got drunk with tequila and slivivice (Josh came, so it was obvious we'll end up with slivovice). At the end we split. We were going to meet later in a pub/disco, but I knew it. And they didn't want to wait for us to finish our drinks so the end was not so good. But we had a great time!
Saturday I was dying. I slept until 3 pm or so (with some breaks for more dying). Well, there is my lesson: don't drink tequila with slivovice and beer. Easy to say, but when somebody bring you a shoot, it's worse to decline. Sunday I wanted to go somewhere "to the nature" (Czechs use this expression and all my friends - English teachers really like it), but it didn't happen - Rob had too much work and we had to vacuum our bedroom finally. I hope this weekend we will go somewhere. But I'm going out on Friday to a "girls night" and on Sunday I really want to go to Church. Next weekend is Ester! Already! Uff, the time passes really fast, I'm still living in January! Well, so I have to go to Church on Sunday and after that Rob will be planning lessons. So we need to go on Saturday. But I will be after party...I just can't drink too much. Yeap, I see that happening :)

Zostaja tylko wspomnienia

Mialam napisac cos wiecej w pracy, ale mialam ciezki dzien, zwlaszcza popoludnie - wszyscy mieli jakies problemy do mnie i to niezawinione. Jakbym ja cos zle zrobil, to bym zapychala jak maly samochodzik, zeby tylko to naprawic. Nie, ale oni i tak beda mnie winic za wszystko. No coz...
Przynajmniej sie wyzalilam, bo Ksieciunio wrocil sfrustrowany z pracy i bardziej byl zajety swoimi uczniami i jacy to oni sa, niz wysluchiwaniem o moich problemach. I pewnie za chwile wroci jeszcze bardziej wkurzony, bo zmywa naczynia po nas obojgu z ...chyba 2 dni. No coz...
Do tego znajomi sie do mnie nie odzywaja, zwlaszcza ci dawni, z Krakowa. A tacy byli dobrzy przyjaciele... Ale to juz bylo dawno. A ja jestem w dalekim kraju (hehe) i nikomu sie nawet pisac nie chce. Troche sie zawiodlam. I to nie moja wina! Pomyslicie sobie, ze jak ja nie pisze, to nikt nie bedzie tak sam z siebie. Tylko, ze ja pisalam, ale i tak Ci na ktorych przyjazni mi zalezy / zalezalo (niepotrzebne skreslic - jeszcze sie waham) i tak nie odpisuja. No coz...
(Juz mialam napisac cos bardzo brzydkiego, ale nie bede taka wulgarna.)
Potrzebuje worka treningowego, zeby sie wyzyc.

IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY!!!

It's Prince's birthday today!!! It's almost finished but still not too late to wish him happy b'day (that's a tip if you've forgotten :))
We spend quite a nice evening and I think he enjoys his presents, but that's a longer story for tomorrow. Hopefully I won't have too much work at work (hehe probably you wouldn't say it in English but it sounds funny).
Ok, I have to go, my Prince is finishing his shower....
Good night all.

And happy birthday once again.

Za duzo tych jezykow wokolo

I just did a spell check. Apologies to all of you who have to try to figure out what I wanted to write and what I meant - I can't do the spell check at work for some reason and that's where I write most of my posts. I hope that after a few more years with Prince my English will get better. But now I feel sometimes that it's getting worse :( Well, my brain needs some space for Czech and soon French - that's right, I'm planning on taking French lessons again, it's a shame how much I've forgotten.

Let's go Sparta, let's go!

And Monday again... weekends are definitely too short. We had a very nice Saturday - first we went to a football match AC Sparta with FK Teplice, which was a lot of fun considering that I was always a soccer fan (that's right, not a football match - a soccer match) but I've never seen a professional match live. Unfortunately, there were no goals. But it was fun. And the rest of the day we spend with Courtney and Adrian: having lunch/dinner, playing foozball and pool and of course drinking beer. I really enjoyed it.
Oh, I almost forgot: it was really funny when fans were shouting: "Let's go Sparta, let's go!"
Sunday was very very lazy. I got up really late - at 1 p.m. (taking into account the time change - 12 a.m. which doesn't change too much - it was still late). I haven't done anything really, except laundry and shopping. And talking to my parents which is always nice. They finally decided that they will come to Prague!!! Yuppi!!! It took them like 2 months to confirm it, but now it's sure (I hope). I'm very very happy and can't wait!

SLONECZKO!!!

Cultural differences suck

I was thinking what to write about. I don't have anything to do today at work, I've read newspapers, checked email and.... I'm bored. On the other hand nothing really happened. I am recovering from Budapest's lack of sleep. Actually on Monday I had even less sleep than usually. Our friend left to UK. It was very sad. Her father has a brain tumor so she decided she wants to be with him. We went for a dinner. And next month Elizabeth is leaving... I was trying to compare it to Sweden but maybe because we all knew from the very beginning that it's just for a year, it was easier. I hope she will be fine and that we'll see her again.

We had very interesting discussion at that night about Czech and American women. My conclusion was that American women are with men for money and Czech (and that would be the same for Polish) for just being with someone they want to be. Sometimes I notice that for Prince some aspects of the relationship are more like transaction: you want something from me, but what will I have in exchange. I can't understand that. When one of our friend said: "American women treat sex a currency", I was thinking about that and thinking and I cannot figure it out. We have more differences than I thought.

Hopes up!

Oh, I almost forgotten: while we were in Budapest, Elizabeth got an email from her dad: she is accepted to the grad studies! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

Eksplorujemy Europe Sr-Wsch

Poniedzialek, godz. 13:43. Siedze przy biurku, wymeczona i spiaca. Po cudownym weekendzie. Warto bylo. Nawet dzisiejsze katusze znosic.
Wyjechalismy w czwartek o 23.24, nieprzespana noc, mimo kuszetki. Caly dzien meczyl mnie bol glowy z tego zmeczneia, ale dzielnie znosilam wedrowke najpierw do hostelu a potem po miescie. Do tego deszcz. I zamieszanie z kolezankami, ktore zapomnialy wziac biletu. Amerykanka i Kanadyjka, nieprzyzwyczajone do podrozy pociagami, dostaly bilet i rezerwacje i doszly do wniosku ze bilet to tylko rachynek i zostawily go w domu. Dojechaly w piatek ok 17tej. Z opoznieniem 2 godzinnymi i problemami bo bilet mialy na inna trase.... Do tego zadna z nich nie aktywowala sobie roamingu. W koncu wieczorem spotkalismy sie w pubie w hostelu.
W piatek urzadzilismy sobie spacer po Peszcie, wzdluz Dunaju (ktory po angielsku brzmi na tyle inacze4j, ze myslalam ze chodzi o inna rzeke:)). Wieczorem ulica Andrassyego i Plac Bohaterow - pieknie oswietlony w nocy, wpisane na liste UNESCO. I wieczorem Pizza Hut :) (bylismy zbyt zmeczeni zeby szukac czegokolwiek) piwko w pubie. Tylko ja usypialam - reszta miala drzemke w ciagu dnia, a ja nie moglam zasnac.

Plac Bohaterow noca.

Sobota - ciag dalszy wedrowek. Zaczelismy od Bazyliki sw. Stefana (slynna z powodu przechowywanej tam relikwii - reki swietego....na marginesie: nigdy nie zrozumiem, dlaczego ktos przechowuje i uznaje za swiete czesci ciala). Potem wycieczka poza miasto - do Parku Rzezb zgromadzonych z czasow komunizmu, rowniez spoza Wegier. To glownie dla Roba, ale ja tez mialam frajde robiac sobie zdjecia z Leninem i Marksem. Po poludniu spotkalismy sie z Elizabeth i Tiffany, wspielismy sie na wzgorze zamkowe. Najbardziej podobala mi sie Baszta Rybacka - mury z bialego kamienia broniace niegdys miasta.

Baszta Rybacka.

Baszta Rybacka 2.

Niestety, nie weszlismy do Kosciola, bo byl za drogi, ani do zamku, ktory nie sprawil na mnie az takiego wrazenia. Dziewczyny zdecydowaly wrocic do hostelu na drzemke, a my na przechadzke po jaskiniach. Troche czulam sie tam niepewnie, ale mialam frajde. Podczas wojny schowalo sie tam 20 tysiecy (!!!) niemieckich zolnierzy. Wieczorkiem udalismy sie na kolacje - tym razem do wegierskiej restauracji. Niee, nie jadlam gulaszu. Zdecydowalam sie na tradycyjne risotto - pyszne! I na szczescie nie az takie ostre jak mozna by sie spodziewac.

Zamek - orzel, legendarny zalozyciel pierwszej dynastii wegierskiej (podobno zgwalcil krolewne i tak przyszedl na swiat pierwszy wegierski wladca).

W jaskiniach.

Ostatni dzien, niedziele spedzilismy na wspinaczce na Gore Gellerta z dwoma cudonymi pomnikami: sw. Gellerta oraz Wolnosci. Zobaczylismy tez slynne laznie, ale tylko z zewnatrz, bo Ksieciunio zapomnial mi powiedziec, ze mamy wziac kostiumy kapielowe. Dziewczyny rozplywaly sie tam w sobote, gdy my bylismy w Parku Rzezb. I spacer z powrotem do hostelu po rzeczy i na pociag. Pogoda w niedziele byla cudowna.... A wracajac widzielismy snieg lezacy na poboczach. Za to dzisiaj sloneczko pieknie swieci - i mam nadzieje ze tak juz zostanie i ze pozegnalismy zime. W koncu!

Pomnik Gellerta

Nad Dunajem

Tak w skrocie wygladal moj weekend. Oczekujcie na zdjecia - pojawia sie wkrotce! I wszystkim zycze rownie udanych weekendow. Nasz nastepny kierunek podrozy to Cesky Krumlov, a potem Wieden.

A na koniec: ja z rozowym telefonem :)

Szykuj sie, Budapeszcie!!! Juz jedziemy!

W zwiazku z tym, ze Ksieciunio ostatnio sie poprawil w pisaniu blogu, ja tym razem po polsku napisze co sie dzieje.
Dzisiaj jedziemy do Budapesztu!!!! Jeszcze poltorej godzinki w pracy, szybkie zakupy jakiegos zarcia na droge, pakowanie (mam tyle praktyki, ze przewiduje nie wiecej niz 15 minut na to) i w pociag! Hurra! Bilety mamy zakupione, hostel zarezerwowany, plan.... przez to, ze nie mielismy internetu w domu, Ksieciunio nie bardzo mial jak zaplanowac :) On jest lepszy w takich rzeczach - ja bym po prostu lazila to tu, to tam, ktora uliczka ladniej wyglada.... A tak mam fajnego przewodnika. A po drugie jedziemy z trzema laskami i nie mamy pojecia, co one planuja. Dogadamy sie w pociagu, chyba ze one pojda spac. Niewazne, i tak bedzie super. Jedyny minus to zima, ktora trwa zdecydowanie za dlugo! Ja juz nie moge! Ja chce slonca i dodatnie temperatury! Najwyrazniej jeszcze troszke musze na to poczekac. Zabieram cieple sweterki, buciki i wszytko co najwazniejsze, zeby przetwac :)
Do zobaczenia po powrocie!

Juz prawie prawie weekend

I'm so lucky it's finally Friday!!! One more hour and I'm going home (pewnie sie zerwe pol godziny wczesniej hehe). Tomorrow rugby and probably dinner with friends, maybe something more / else. I hope Prince will feel better. He's almost fine. Now I have a cough but I'm taking loads of vitamin C and other anti-sickness specialties so maybe I'll win with winter-ending cold, the worst of all. And today was actually warm!!! Like 6 degrees (I have no idea how many Fahrenheit would it be, sorry).
One more hour....

Guy's rules :)))

The Guy's Rulesнннннннннннннннннннннн
At last a guy has taken the time to write this all down. Finally, the guys' side of the story.(I must admit, it's pretty good.)
We always hear "the rules" from the female side. Now here are the rules from the male side. These are our rules!
Please note: these are all numbered "1" ON PURPOSE!

1. Men ARE not mind readers.

1. Learn to work the toilet seat. You're a big girl. If it's up, put it down. We need it up, you need it down. You don't hear us complaining about you leaving it down.

1. Sunday sports. It's like the full moonor the changing of the tides. Let it be.

1. Shopping is NOT a sport. And no, we are never going to think of it that way.

1. Crying is blackmail.

1. Ask for what you want. Let us be clear on this one:
Subtle hints do not work!
Strong hints do not work!
Obvious hints do not work!
Just say it!

1. Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.

1. Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That's what we do. Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.

1. A headache that lasts for 17 months is a problem. See a doctor.

1. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument. In fact, all comments become null and void after 7 Days.

1. If you won't dress like the Victoria's Secret girls, don't expect us to act like soap opera guys.

1. If you think you're fat, you probably are.Don't ask us.

1. If something we said can be interpreted two ways and one of theways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one .

1. You can either ask us to do something or tell us how you want it done. Not both. If you already know best how to do it, just do it yourself.

1. Whenever possible, please say whatever you have to say during commercials.

1. Christopher Columbus did NOT need directions and neither do we.

1. ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings. Peach, for example, is a fruit, not! A color. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have no idea what mauve is.

1. If it itches, it will be scratched. We do that.

1. If we ask what is wrong and you say "nothing," we will act like nothing's wrong. We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle.

1. If you ask a question you don't want an answer to, expect an answer you don't want to hear.

1. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine...Really.

1. Don't ask us what we're thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as baseball, the shotgun formation, or golf.

1. You have enough clothes.

1. You have too many shoes.

1. I am in shape. Round IS a shape!

1. Thank you for reading this.Yes, I know, I have to sleep on the couch tonight; But did you know men really don't mind that? It's like camping.

I hate winter

OK, I wanted to write about something and I totally foregot what was it. Those weeks just pass by, one after another. And then weekends come and usually I do something interesting but then I need to wait next 5 days....Oh, it's probably because I saw the movie Office Space yesterday. Very funny movie and quite depressing. Except that my boss is actually cool, my job isn't so boring and everything goes well. But on the other hand it's Thursday and I'm already tired and just want to go home. And winter piss me off! It's March, it's not suppoze to snow any more!!!! I had enough snow last year in Sweden. Every day I wake up hoping that it will be worm and sunny. And every day it snows and it's cold! I WANT SPRING!!!
I don't know what we're doing this weekend. I hope Prince will feel better and we could have some fun. And I hope that I won't catch this ....something cold (I foregot how he called it but it was funny). Because we're going to Budapest next week!!! YUPPI!!! So I want spring even more!

Moustage contest

Looks like lazy day at work :) It's Friday - most of people don't want to do anything except things they foregot to do last week. Hmm, that scares me a little bit - the biggest problems appear always on Friday. On the other hand, I've just found a resolution to an issue from a month and finally we're moving forward with it. Today is also the last day of the 2006 European Moustache Contest :) It's a very funny event they figured out in my company - for a month guys grow their facial hair (actaully only moustage). The one, whose moustage is the biggest, funniest, most red (last year's winner) will win - today! And probably they will have team shaving afterwards. It may sound stupid but it's very funny, seeing all those guys trying to grow something :) Opposite to me sits one of them - and I can't not to laugh or at least smile every time I look at him. Some looks nice and better, some looks just so funny... But noone looks as good as Prince. Oh, he threaten me yesterday with his camera out of revenge for the last pic of him posted on this blog. But all he got was a very beautiful picture of a blanket (I was hidden underneath) :))

Just a next borning - busy day

Yesterday evening was awsome! First, I got my Xmas present - Thai massage. It was wonderful! And then I met Prince for a thai dinner, phad thai. Delicious.
And today I'm alone in the office, I have to much work, I have a headache and everything is crap! I want to go home!!!

I love Europe

Uff, finally I have some time at work. The last week was terrible. Well, it was nice, but terriblly busy. Now it's better. Andrea is still sick though so I still have more work than normally.
I just wanted to write about our weekend: we went for a concert. Prince was invited by his teacher - friend, who plays bass in the band. It was fun!!! Next day was not so nice but it was worth :)
And we have just decided that we're going to Budapest in 2 weeks!!! Hurra! Yuppi!!! I can't wait. Prince has just booked the hostel and in the evening we're going to get the train tickets. It will be great. We had quite serious discussion related to that yesterday. Actually it just started with Budapest, as we were counting our money and trying to decide if we can afford to go. Prince was having issues that he's going back to the state of his finances as when he was living in US and couldn't afford many things. Well, he doesn't have huge credit card bill but teaching English is not as well payed as we thought. And we still do a lot of fun stuff so in my opinion it's not so bad. But I'm afraid he will start wanting to go back to the US. And I'm not sure I'd like to move so far. It's not even an issue of distance. Well, I'm not like most Poles who think that US is heavens on Earth....

Smiesznostki

I've just realized that I wanted to post a few pics, especially the one of my new friend - Elfi:


And one more, which I think is funny :) Someone will be really mad for that, but...

What a week!!!

That was the most intence week in a very very long time. Partly because Andrea is sick and we have to do her work with Miguel, who is quite slow and hardly finishes his things. So she has been sick two weeks already and maybe she will be back in the middle of this week - maybe... And my boss visited us, actually two bosses. He is really cool, he brought us SuperBowl - Steelers T-shirts (he's from Pittsburg). It was very nice and everything was cool except that I didn't have enough time to finish my work (my and Andrea's). Wednesday we went for a dinner in Medivial Tavern (with a dungeen) and for a very long walk around he city. I came back late and didn't get enough sleep, the same as the next night. So yesterday I fall asleep very early. Actually, we went for a dinner at Elizabeth's, which was delicious. It was fun, except that I was so tired that I couldn't speak English, I was just sitting at a couch trying not to fall asleep. Well, but it was a good week. I've got a very positive evaluation of my work :)

Ojej, nie chce mi sie pisac po angielsku. W sumiee to nawet nie wiem, czemu nie pisze wiecej po polsku. W kazdym razie ogolnie szefowie powiedzieli, ze jestesmy super :))) Bardzo sie ciesze, bo lubie ta prace i jestem doceniana. I za 2 tygodnie bedzie to pierwsza praca, w ktorej przeszlam przez okres probny. Hehe, fajnie... Tylko Ksieciunio sie troche wkurzal, ze pozno wracam do domu, ze zostaje po godzinach. Ale Andrea jest chora... Wszyscy wiedza przeciez, jaki ze mnie len i bez waznego powodu bym tego nie robila. Tylko sie zastanawiam, co bedzie z Andrea, bo juz jest chora 2 tygodnie, a w tym raczej tez nie wroci. 3-tygodniowa choroba to juz cos bardzo powaznego. Z drugiej strony wspominala mi, ze chcialaby zmienic prace na cos w jej zawodzie. Takze moze szuka w Brnie. Chociaz jak z ni rozmawialam, to glos miala zmieniony bardzo. Nic to, zobaczymy. Mam nadzieje, ze wyzdrowieje szybko i ze to nic tak strasznie powaznego.
Co jeszcze....przepraszam wszystkich, do ktorych mialam sie odezwac, a tego nie zrobilam. Na prawwde bylam strasznie zabiegana. Mam nadzieje, ze ten tydzien bedzie lepszy. Mamusiu, Tatusiu, jutro obiecuje byc na necie, nie martwcie sie o mnie.

A dzisiaj idziemy na mecz rugby ( w pubie oczywiscie, bo zimno), a potem na koncert kolegi Ksieciunia. Zobaczymy, wczoraj sie dowiedzialam, ze opisuja swoj zespol jako: "Niemiecka orkiestra deta polaczona z angielkim golfem", cokolwiek by to mialo znaczyc :).
No, to spadam do sobotniego lenistwa.

A oto nasze nowe krolestwo:

nasza kamienica

oldschoolowe wejscie do kamienicy

zakrecone schody


brama do naszego prywatnego nieba


sypialnia - jeszcze w stanie prawie surowym


kuchnia

widok z pokoju na wprost - stamtad moga nas podgladac

widok z pokoju w dol - ten tramwaj zabiera mnie do pracy

widok z kuchni - sciete dachy

The best search ever!

That's so COOOL : http://www.logogle.com/ggl.php?hl=ja&lo=Strawberry+Fields+Forever
Thanks, one.o.eight :)

Because you're mine, I walk the line

Uff, finally I have a normal day, without so much work. Last few days were crazy! I didn't have time to check my email, especially yesterday. Prince couldn't belive me: how you cannot get 5 minuts break? Well, I had breaks for cigarette and that's all. People were writting me, calling me and I had my regular responsibilities, which I don't like to pospone for the next day. Because I never know if the next day will be even more busy or I won't have anything (almost) to do, like now.
On Monday we went to see Walk the Line (2005) about Johnny Cash. Very good movie in my opinion. Kind of psychological. And now I really like his music. I was especially surprised with the actors: Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon, they are actually good actors!


Jak juz wspomnialam Adas i Agnieszka sie zareczyli! Super! Bardzo sie ciesze, bo tworza swietna pare i na pewno beda szczesliwi. Na Wigilii rozmawialam nawet o tym z Aga i mowila, ze w sumie to juz by chciala, bo to niedobrze dlugo za soba chodzic, bo wtedy pary czesto sie rozpadaja. Najwyrazniej Adam wzial to sobie do serca, jak rowniez komentarze cioci Tereni :)) (to slyszalam od Mamusi). Niestety, szybko na wesele nie pojde, bo slub planuja za jakis 2-3 lata.
As I have mentioned before (I guess in Polish), my cousin Adam got engaged. It's great and I'm very happy for them. They are planning the wedding in 2-3 years. Well, maybe by that time I'll be engaged too :)))

Wczoraj sie dowiedzialam, ze Adas i Agnieszka sie zareczyli :)))

WSZYSTKIEGO NAJLEPSZEGO NA NOWEJ DRODZE ZYCIA !!!

New place, new start

I have so many things to write about and so little time :( Let me start from the beggining.
We have finally moved!!!! Now we have beautiful, charming and old appartment right in the center. It's great! There are 2 rooms: one bedroom / living room and big kitchen with dining area and couch. And tiny bathroom (the coldest place in the world).
We moved in on Saturday. It took us around 3 hours, fortunatelly Ales helped us and drive us and our stuff there. He even helped us carring it to the 4th floor (in the old building, it's like 7th in a regular one). After that I was totally dead! But we slowly started putting everything in its new place, moving things around etc. Yesterday we went to Ikea to get bookshelves and some other stuff. So we are actually set up in a new place :))
The only problem with it is that it's quite cold. Especially bathroom and hall. And on Saturday we were freezing (the heating was turned off for some time, so it took it the whole day to get warmer there). So I hope that the winter will be over soon. Well, it's not so terrible, it's just a little chilli. Actually I would get used to it quite easily (except the bathroom), but Prince needs it to be very warm.
As soon as I'll have pics, I'll post them. For now: you are all welcome! :)

Nothing is as easy at it seems

As everybody knows, we are moving to a new apartment. It's great and beautiful and in the center, everything is great. Except our old apartment and especially its owner who decided to make problems. Partly it's our own fault. We interpreted the contract the way it was better for us. We also didn't understood each other with our flatmate, apparently. So now we have quite a problem: we should also pay the rent for February for our old apartment. And this is stupid! Especially that we don't have those money and we won't be living there. The only solution is to find someone for our place but it doesn't seem to work well. None of us know what to do. It's all fucked up! I don't want to cause problems to Lida or Ales. But I cannot pay it...
Work is still bornig today. I mean a lack of work is borning. I would really love to have something to do. I shouldn't complain, Prince was trying to convince me that this is better than having to much work, but we also agreed that he is extremely lazy :) That's the reason why he has problems with bringing me coffee to bed in the morning. Oh well, I guess I should learn how to live with that :)

[*] [*] [*]

Śpieszmy się kochać ludzi tak szybko odchodzą
zostaną po nich buty i telefon głuchy
tylko to co nieważne jak krowa się wlecze
najważniejsze tak prędkie że nagle się staje
potem cisza normalna więc calkiem nieznośna
jak czystość urodzona najprościej z rozpaczy
kiedy myslimy o kimś zostając bez niego.

ks. Jan Twardowski (1915-2006)

Sometimes there is just nothing to do

It's so lazy day... I'm at work and all of us are very very sleepy and nobody wants to do anything, unfortunatelly I don't have much work today. On the other hand I don't have anything to occupy myslef so it's quite boring. I've read newspapers and blogs and now I'm just bored. Well, I shouldn't complain, it's better than last Tuesday when I didn't even have time to sent a single sms, I had so much work. And after work I'm going to sigh the contract for our new apartment! YUPI!!! I can't wait to move in and make pics and post them here. It's so great!!!
Oh and it's soooo cold! In the morning it was -15 degrees (Celcius of course, it would be around 0 in Farenheit). I know, all of you in Poland would say it's a piece of cake. My parents told me it was -30 last night. So take care, wear worm clothes, gloves and hats and don't take your dogs for too long walks (poor Misiek).

Leniwy weekend

Robi dzisiaj rano zauważył, że robię dużo błędów na blogu, jak tak, to tym razem będzie po polsku.
W sumie to nic nowego się nie wydażyło. Byłam w Kosciele, mają tu Msze po polsku i fajnych księży - domonikanów. Podobało mi się kazanie, o Królestwie Bożym w każdym z nas i jak je pielęgnować i wprowadzać do naszych rodzin. Bo w zasadzie to my rodzinę tworzymy, nawet jesli nie jestesmy małżeństwem. ...Własnie mi powiedział, że mi nie ufa - bo pierwsze jabłko to była moja wina. Starszne. A teraz toczymy bitwę na nogi, z tym że on ma dłuższe. A teraz udaję, że jestem zła :) za to że powiedział, że mi nie ufa. Poszedł na balkon, na fajkę, chwila spokoju.
Ale ja złe rzeczy o nim piszę :( i to tylko dlatego, że nie może mnie zrozumieć. Wiem, jestem straszna. Ale czasem muszę odreagować i pokazać mu jak to jest jak mu się nie chce mi czegos wytłumaczyć albo powiedzieć wolniej.
Także za tydzień się przeprowadzamy do nowego mieszkanka, tylko we dwoje. Bardzo się cieszę. I już nie mogę się doczekać!
Wczoraj spędzilismy dzień bardzo bardzo leniwie, w łóżku w zasadzie - ogolądając filmy. Nie moglismy się obudzić i rozruszać cały dzień i tak jakos wyszło. Ale to dobrze, bo po ubiegłym tygodniu, po pokerze, do poniedziałku nie wypoczęłam. Bo w sobotę urządzilismy wielką grę w pokera u nas, wygrałam 100 koron (2x tyle, co mnie kosztował udział), ale potem w niedzielę trzeba było sprząteac i kaca leczyć, więc w poniedziałek do pracy poszłam w stanie takim srednio wypoczętym. I cały tydzień nie mogłam dojsć do siebie. Ale teraz już będzie lepiej, ten tydzień będzie dobry. No i od przyszłego będe mogła wstawać o prawie godzinę później :)

Najnowsze wiesci z Pragi

Finally I have some time to update my blog! Recently I was very busy at work and not only - we were looking for a new apartment. It is now decided and we are moving on the 1st of February to a cozy place right in the center of Prague! It is reserved for us and on Monday or Tuesday I'm going to sign the contract. I'm very very happy. It's quite big, fully furnished, in an old beautiful building, just 10 minutes by tram to my work. So next weekend we should be moving!

Since my last post, we've done a lot of interesting things (except finding a new place): we were in the National Theater (http://www.narodni-divadlo.cz/) to see a ballet The Nutcracker - A Christmas Carol by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky; we went to a cinema (or as Rob would say - theater) for Narnia (http://adisney.go.com/disneypictures/narnia/index.html). Both of them were great! I really enjoyed the ballet, I haven't seen a ballet before, or I don't remember if I did. We are planning on going to the opera next time.

Yesterday I met Lida and Olga - I missed them a lot. We had a great time talking about everything what happened lately as I haven't seen them for a while. As a result I don't feel really good today, but I don't have much work, so that's fine.

New Year, New Year!!!!

I was planning on writting something about New Years Eve last week but I was so busy! There were days I din't have time at work to check my email. But it was goog, at least interesting and no bordom. As a result I din't go to my second job on the weekend, I was so exchausted. I'm going to quit as soon as I will get my pay check for December. It's too much. I know now that I'm not able to work 7 days a week.
About New Years Eve: first we went to the Indian restaurant, it was ver very nice. Delicious food and we have a lot of time to talk about Xmas and everything, 'cause we had to wait a long time for our food. Then we went to the Old Town Square. Everybody were doing fireworks. Great atmosphere! Rob was a little bit nervous and he said it looks like war zone :) Actually I was also a little bit scared when we were comming back to the metro station but I tried not to show it. It was crazy! Smoke, fireworks, people running and trying to hide from fireworks. No, it sounds bad and it wasn't.
We had a very good time in the center and later on at home we opened a bottle of champagne and drunk it in bed. Good start of a new year!

Back again

I'm back in Prague, back at work. Christmas is over :( I really enjoyed it, especially because I haven't seen my family for half a year. So most of the time we were just talking (or talking and eating and drinking). It was great! No work, not studies, just family time.
Chrismas Eve dinner was quite small - only 10 people, but it was very nice. We were singing carrols and enjoying 12 traditional dishes (I can finally remember all of them). Everybody were asking about my life in Prague and my job and Prince. Later on my cousin and his girlfriend came, so it was even better. I won't see them at least for a year - they are going to England. And I'm not going to go to Poland any time soon. I also spend some time with my aunt and uncle and it's always very interesting, they are very wise and I like talking to them.
My sister got a driving licence and I'm very proud of her, because she passed at the first exam (usually it takes at least 3 times to pass). And she drives very well. She wants to proove that a girl can be a better driver than most of the guys :) and I think she will do that.
Now I have to get used to working and getting up early again. At leat I still like my job so it's not so hard.

Driving home

I am finally at home! I'm so happy! I haven't seen my family half a year and I missed them a lot. Now I feel like I would have been here a month ago, nothing has changed and everything is so normal.
I'm quite tired today - it took me more then 13 hours to get here, most of the time in uncomfortable bus. Well, it wasn't so bad, but the whole night in a bus where you can't even decline your chair is uncomfortable. I slept almost the whole night and now everything hurts me. And I'm still tired 'cause it wasn't normal sleep. We are going to decorate our Christmas tree now, I think so I'm going to join my family :)
It's good to be home.

I just call to say I love you

Of course I started the last post from something totally different then I wanted. I just wanted to say how happy I am because Prince called me today. We talked for half an hour. It was so nice, I realized that I miss him, not in that bad way, when you're becoming crazy when your partner is not with you. No, never again those sick relationships. I miss Prince but I know we'll be very soon together and we'll be more happy that we're together then if we wouldn't be apart. And I don't have anything to be afraid of because I trust him.
When he called me I realized that I actually miss him, 'cause I didn't have time for that, to think about that. And I realized how much I'd like to kiss him. It was so nice to hear his voice :)

p.s. The person who gave him a new computer game will be punished for that crime :)

Już jutro!!!

I had a very nice evening yesterday. I saw Lida, we went for a coffee and finished with svarak, hot spicy wine (mniam mniam). Later on her friend joined us. First we talked about her: why, what, who, when.... and what is going to do now. Then we discussed the apartment and probably we'll move out (I'm already happy for that). And then Misia came. She's very interesting person: intelligent and funny, when I'm talking with her I feel like I'd talk to psychologist. And if she lived few hundred years ago, she would be one of the magicians (they called them somehow else...alchemists) from the Golden Street who tried to produce gold, or a druid or someone like that.
So we had a nice chat and a lot of svarak, we end up running with Lida to the train station, as she was almost late for her last train. We also got into discussion about politics, what guys usually do and girls are annoyed. But I actually enjoyed it, probably because she did not try to convince me that she knows everything better (like guys tend to do). We were laughing at our languages. Actually we end up laughing at almost everything. That was a very nice evening, very relaxing. Unfortunately, I didn't get enough sleep because of that and was tired at work and now I have to wait for my last load (?) of laundry to be finished. Tomorrow I'm planning on getting up earlier and going to work at 8, so I could finish at 4 p.m. Because I'M GOING HOME TOMORROW!!! YUPPIE YUPPIE YUPPIE!!!

Ach to zakochanie

When I was coming back today there was a couple in metro. Kissing all the time and hugging. They weren't like the couples that would have sex if there were more space in the train. They looked very in love and romantic. And it remind me of me & Prince a year ago. Somebody (stefan probably) was laughing at us that we cannot keep our feeling just for us. That we're always holding hands and kissing. And always enjoying being together. It was a good time. It still is. Just now it is more normal, not so special and fresh and romantic :) But it's still beautiful.
I miss him.

Consequences of breaking up

We have a serious problem. But I'll start from the beginning.
When I came back from work I saw big backpack and a few more bags full of stuff in the living room. I was quite surprise. First I thought Lida brought somebody with her but I soon realized that those are her things. And it became clear: she's moving out. Especially that she has just came back from Slovakia, where she saw her ex-boyfriend. I called her and she confirmed: she broke up with Ales and came back to her ex. She's happy, so I'm happy too. But...we are renting apartment together and she won't live here. We have contract till the end of August. And this apartment is not worth nay more than we're paying for it (per person). I don't want to pay any more especially that we (me and Prince) are living here only because this location was chosen by Ales (he works outside Prague 15 minutes by car from here). I have no idea how will we solve it. We could move out too but I'm afraid we'd loose deposit and I can't afford that. So we have a problem.

Waiting for new shoes

For all of you who don't know what is procurement (I had no idea either), I will shortly explain what is my new job all about. Basically, I'm checking the system from errors. We are selling the software which is designed to reduce company's spending. My job is to check if the company is using the software in the right way, if the invoice is correct, check all the information about the supplier and he price. I'm learning a lot of things, i.e. SAP, which is very useful in the office and I have never had any contact with it. People are very nice, intelligent and better co-workers that the poker team. The office is cool, more professional than the poker place. The most important is that the job is a more difficult and it gives you more satisfaction. I feel more that I'm using my education, at leas in general. The poker job doesn't require any intellect from you and you start thinking that you're dumb. The new place is much more fun. Now I don't know if I really want to keep both jobs, I'm afraid that I won't be able to work 7 days a week. The money from my new job are quite good, so in a month time I'll pay off all my debts and be able to buy me shoes :) I'm waiting for those shoes for a few months now and I couldn't afford them. But next month I'll have them!

Sweet parting

I said goodbye to my Prince today - he left to the US. I'm all alone in Prague now. Fortunately not too long, on Thursday I'm going home!!! YUPPIE!!!
So I had to get up around 5 to go to the train station, make sure that he has all the tickets he needs (he had to buy one more) and help him with carrying his luggage. I'm happy that I did it, I spend the last minutes with him. It's not that we would be long time apart, but it's always nice. I will miss him but it's this kind of missing that isn't very sad, 'cause I know we'll see each other in 13 days. And he will enjoy not having to deal with my bad moods and complains. He will be able to play his computer game as much as he wants to and do whatever he wants without me wanting to spend all the time together. So enjoy this time, my love :)

Starting again!

I'm starting tomorrow a new job: procurement service associate. I'm very exited, a little bit scared but overall happy. I'm staying in the poker place for part-time, at least for some time. Prince wasn't very happy when I told him that I'll be working 7 days a week. I'm also a little afraid that I won't manage to do it for a long time. So probably after January I'll say goodbye. Now, I have 2 Christmas parties :) both next week. And also our private but we're not sure yet when. Prince wanted to get his present yesterday, as I went shopping. Unfortunately, it wasn't so easy 'cause I couldn't find what I planned to buy him. So he has to wait. It's even better, I don't want to do it so early, it wouldn't be like a Christmas present.
Oh, my second shift came so I can go home :) And cook delicious dinner for Prince.

Głupie pomysły wielkich koncernów

Wiecie co Disney wymyslił ostatnio? Z okazji swiętowania rocznicy powstania Kubusia Puchatka postanowili zmodyfikować jego wizerunek. Zapytacie jak? Zamieniając Krzysia w szescioletnią dziweczynkę!!! To jedna z największych głupot jakie kiedykolwiek słyszałam. Uzasadnienie: te ponadczasowe postaci potrzebują odswiżenia! Ponadczasowe postaci nie potrzebują odnowy bo są ponadczasowe!!! Jeszcze Kubusiowi zróbcie lifting, oh i nie zapomnijcie naprawić Kłapouchego, bo wygląda na podniszczałego!!!

The discovery

I've just found a great picture of Rob, Adrian (who took the TEFL course with Rob) and Ales, our flatmate. It's cute :)

Santa Claus is coming to town

It's Saint Nicholas Day/ Mikuláš/ Święty Mikołaj today! HURRA!!! And apparently I was a good child last year, 'cause He brought me something - stuffed elephant which is almost the same as the one I had when I was a child.
Tak w ogole to chcialam napisac po polsku ale uzywam komputera Ksiecia bez polskich liter i tak jakos dziwnie. A to o Mikolaju chce napisac po angielsku bo w Polsce jest podobnie ale czesc moich znajomych i nieznajomych czytajacych tem blog (znajomi i rodzina Ksiecia) nie maja pojecia ze Mikolaj przychodzi 6 grudnia! Trzeba ich uswiadomic!
So for those of you who think that Santa Claus comes on December 25, I have news: in this part of the world, he comes on December 6! And then second time, sometimes as Little Jesus (in Czech Republic), sometimes as The First Star (parts of Poland), sometimes again as Santa Claus (other parts of Polnd)! Czechs have very interesting traition of Mikuláš, Anděl a Čert” (Nicolas, Angel and Devil) suddenly appear on the streets of Prague on December 5 and 6, asking children if they have been good for the past year. And šMikuláš, as Polish Mikolaj, is dressed as a bishop. The Devil is suppose to drag off bad children to hell, and the Angel is a protector of good children (or something like that :)). So I was good, 'cause I get a present :)) Thank You, Santa Claus!

A year has passed

Today's our first anniversary!!!
I should figure out some kind of surprise for my Prince but I don't really know what. And even if I would, I couldn't write it here - he could see it and surprise destroyed. I'm at work right now (: so I have a few more hours to think about it. Actually I almost forgot about it. Almost...
It was totally crazy a year ago :) And it's already a year :) Amazing.

Grey days

I know I should be happy and enthusiastic but I'm not. I'm at work - the poker one and it's hot here, no fresh air and we're not allowed to open the windows. And I'm falling asleep. I talked to my boss, he will tell me tomorrow if he wants me to stay for a part-time or not. I'd like to but I don't care so much. I want to go to bed and get a full night sleep finally!

And again starting

Wow, I've got a new job. It is not that I was looking for it (I'm in the poker place just 3 weeks), it found me. My colleague from poker place told me that he's changing a job and they are looking for a Polish speaker and they offer better conditions and the job seems more interesting. So I gave him my CV. I had a few phone interviews and today I got the confirmation :) I'll be earning more, the company gives bigger chances of development, the job is more challenging and interesting. Is there anything more to want? So I decided to take it. And I'm happy. I don't know yet what I'll do with the poker place. I may try to switch there to part-time and work during weekends, at least for some time (until I'll pay off my debts and finally get a full pay check). Or I may simply quit. But I don't really want to quit, cause it's easy job, easy money. On the other hand I'm not sure if I will be able to work 65 hours per week for a long time, without any day off. I have to talk with Rob and my parents maybe they can advise me something. I have to decide until Monday.
Woo-hoo a better job! Woo-hoo more money! Woo-hoo end of boredom! Woo-hoo....just woo-hoo in general!

Prague by night

I don't have anything special to write about but I looked at my friend's blog and she hasn't write for a month so I don't want to be so bad. Monday was a fun day. I worked on a night shift (4.30 p.m. till 1 a.m.). I didn't want to do that especially come back in the middle of the night. But actually work was much better, 'cause nobody was in the office except for of us working on poker site. As usually no e-mail, so we played office volleyball - with big beach ball so we wouldn't destroy anything. And people was better, in the morning is boring, we don't talk much, everybody is doing something on the internet and that's all. With the night shift it was more fun. Afterwards we went to a pub, it was the last day at work for one of the guys. It was fun, I went to other places than usual, with other people. And came back very late (actually it was already early), but we went out after 1 a.m.
It is possible that I will change a job. This guy who left propose me to go with him to the other company, they need Polish speaker. I talked with the boss, it looks fine, but nothing sure yet. They offer better condition and more benefits so why not. Especially that playing poker is not my future. We'll see...

Beztroskie życie

Ile wysiłku mnie kosztowało napisanie tego postu....od rana próbowałam się dostać na swoje konto i nie mogłam, w końcu dało radę. Tak to jest jak się nie pamięta ani hasła ani nazwy użytkownika.
A chciałam rano napisać, bo się bardzo zdenerwowałam. Czym? Polityką! Przeczytałam sobie gazetę i po prostu ręce opadają. Bardzo się cieszę, że jestem tutaj i nie słyszę tego wszystkiego i nie widzę. Jedna wielka porażka. Tutaj jest spokojniej, mimo że prezydent, Klaus ma swoje problemy i ma zagrywki populistyczne, to Czechom ogólnie to wisi. A dlatego, że żyje im się wygodnie, mają pracę i niezłe zarobki, mieszkania itp. A u nas wszysko do góry nogami. Niektórzy (akurat nie Czesi) nie chcą mi uwieżyć, że skończyłam studnia i to podwójne i robię to, co robię. Ale po pierwsze w Polsce jest jak jest i wylądowałabym w o wiele gorszym miejscu, a najprawdopodobniej nigdzie. A po drugie, całkiem fajna jest ta praca. Dla mnie "sukces" nie jest celem, a przynajmniej nie sukces mierzony pieniędzmi.
To wracam do mojej "pracy", czyli zagram parę partyjek pokera :)

Let it snow

It's snowing!!! Actually, it has been snowing at night and while I was going to work and now it stopped but snow is still everywhere. And it's beautiful. In the morning I opened curtains a little bit to find my clothes (I didn't want to turn on the light cause Prince was sleeping) and I was very surprise and at first didn't know what's going on. Everything was white! Fortunately, I got my package with winter clothes last week.
As I mentioned, I'm at work now. Nothing is happening so I can do whatever I want. And it's Saturday and I've been working the whole week. At least I have tomorrow free. Actually, I'm happy I'm "working" - I'll get paid or playing poker. The whole week I've been playing poker. We've got only one e-mail for the whole team so we're mostly bored. Especially those who lose their play money too fast and don't have anything to do for the rest of a day. I'm doing well in poker. And I like playing cards a lot so I enjoy the job :)
I'm going back to "work".

Enjoying the weekend

Yesterday I got a notice that there is something waiting for me in the post office so today we made the whole excursion there being sure that it's a package from home with my winter clothes and birthday present. We waited there for an hour and a half to get ...some stupid letter confirming that I'm paying for social security here in the Czech republic! I know it's important, but it was very disappointing. And annoying waiting there for so long just to get it! Well, now prince is taking an afternoon nap and I will probable read something or clean kitchen. It's quite annoying that our flat mates tend not to do anything in the flat like taking out the trash or cleaning bathroom. At least they aren't messy and wash their dishes because I wouldn't manage another year like my last in Krakow - ALWAYS dirty dishes in the sink and two people who don't care about others at all. No, Lida and Ales are o.k. just sometimes you wish somebody else to clean the bathroom. But it's fine in general.

Texas hold'em

I started my new job today, actually had just a training. Probably it was the most fun training I've ever had and will have. For most of the day we learned how to play poker! It was great fun especially since I won everything! All the chips on the table were mine! It was the first time I played poker at least with betting. I think my dad tried to teach me poker one time but we never got beyond the rules and hands. So I did quite well today. We'll see how the real job will look like.

A perfect birthday cake

I'm a year older :) but it happens to all of us. Monday was the best day ever, probably my best birthday and all because of my Prince. He brought me roses right when I got up and we spend the whole day together. In the evening we went to the sushi restaurant. It was great! I've never had sushi before and I could try all different kinds. And I learned how to use chopsticks! It isn't so difficult as it looks like. Sushi is a really good food, espeially when someone likes fish as much as I do. Amazingly even Prince likes it and he tries to avoid fish hen he can. Afterwards we went for a short walk in the center of Prague and it even wasn't so cold (we had ice cream and we didn't freeze). We had a great time. And I have something to read, sommething that I wanted to read in English for a long time - the Lord of the Rings part 1: The Fellowhip of the Ring!
Hmm, my describtion does't reflect how it was and why it was so greatt, but believe me, it was a perfect day. I felt really special for the whole time, not just five minuts when people wish you happy birthday and foreget about it. This was actually second part of my bithday celebration - on Friday we went to a pub near by with Lida and Ales and Olga. It was quite nice and multinational. After some time our guys left us so we could freely talk as girls do and enjoy being without out men :)
And I have a job! That's a nice birthday present too. Tomorrow is my first day. I'm not even nervous as I normall am in this kind of situation. I'm more sad that my "holidays" ends. I hope I'll like it. The atmosphere looks nice, a lot of young people for all over the world speaking different languages. We'll see.
Tomorrow I'm also starting my Czech lessons. I've got a book "Chcemy mowic po czesku" - Czech for Polish speakers. And tomorrow I'm going to hae lesson with Lida. It will be fun. It's always fun with Lida.
It all reminds me that a year ago I'd just came back from Poland to Sweden and something started to begin between me and my Prince. I had a very difficult time first realizing that then admit it and finally made a decision and finish all I left in Poland. Even though it was one of the most difficult decisions I made in my life, now I think I did the best thing. Because I have never been so happy before, never had someone so good and loving as my Prince.

New day, new opportunities

I'm having an interview tomorrow. In my perfect job :) I found it in summer, but they had somebody before I applied. And now they're looking for a Polish speaker again. So hopefully I'll get the job. Keep your fingers crossed!

Happy Halloween

Finally, I got rid of spam comments on my blog :)))
And I'm looking for a job, I'm not selling advertisments in China any more, which is good, because I'm not so frustrated any more and so annoying for other people living with me (especially one wonderfully patient man). I had a few interviws, we will see. I hope it will be ok, it has to be. Somehow I'm not so worry as I would be in Poland. I found my first job in 2 weeks, so this shouldn't take me longes. Which means that at the end of this week I should have a new job :) And I will. So I should enjoy the last few days of doing nothing.
Btw: HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

Jestem taka zmeczona

Finally I forced myself to write something. It might not be the best day to do it: yesterday we went out for a dinner with .....o jej cyba jednak przejde na polski, bo mi sie strasznie ciezko mysli. No wiec poszlismy na kolacje ze znajomymi Ksiecia - sami native speakers i ja....czyli jak zwykle siedzialam raczej cicho, tym bardziej ze czesci z nich nie znam w ogole. No i mam troche kaca., a bardziej chyba jestem niewyspana. Nic mi sie nie chce, a obiecalam ze pojdziemy gdzies na spacer, bo jest sliczna pogoda. Zobaczymy, moze mi sie poprawi.
Wczoraj bylo swieto narodowe, Den republiky. Udalo nam sie zobaczyc od srodka Obecni dum, skad 28 padziernika 1918 roku ogloszona nieppodleglosc Czecholowacji. Niby nic, zwykly budnek, ale jedno z pomieszczen bylo pomalowane przez Alfonsa Muche. Koles mial niezle jazdy w glowie i pokoj wbija w ziemie.
To by bylo na tyle n dzisiaj, ide spac.

Jesienne zadumanie

Jesień piękna, złota zawitała do Pragi. Liscie poczerwieniały i pożółkły, cudnie jest. Tylko tęskno do najpiękniejszego miejsca na Ziemi o tej porze roku, do Bieszczad. I do domu. Cała jestem tęsknotą. Za domem i rodziną, za Krakowem: miasteczkiem i uczelnią, swiniarnią, która już nie istnieje, za 15tym piętrem i Błonaimi, bo piękne są o tej porze roku. I za wszystkimi bliskimi osobami. Większosć z nich i tak odjechała w nieznane, w przestrzeni rzeczywistej lub duchowej. I nawet gdybym chciała wrócić, to nie mam do kogo. I tak tkwię w nostalgii jesiennej, czasem mi w serduszko złoto i czerwono, a czasem zimno i deszczowo. Wszystko wokół wiruje i tętni życiem, tylko ja jakbym się zatrzymała, zamarzła z tymi myslami w głowie i nie mogę się od nich uwolnić. A moje mysli jak zaklęte, moje serce wraca do przeszłosci zamiast w przyszłosc spoglądać z nadzieją. Niech mnie ktos uszczypnie, albo pozwoli cofnąć się w czasie.

Who would guess?

Your Birthdate: November 7

Born on the 7th day of month gives you a tendency to be something of a perfectionist and makes you more individualistic in many ways. Your mind is good at deep mental analysis and complicated reasoning. You are very psychic and sensitive, and you should usually follow your hunches. You may not take orders too well, so you may want to work alone or in a situation where you can be the boss. This birthday gives a tendency to be somewhat self-centered and a little stubborn.

What Does Your Birth Date Mean?

The day in the bed

I'm sick. And I'm at home. Probably just a cold but I really bad - going to the kitchen makes me tired. Unfortunatelly tomorrow I have to go to work. I hoped that this morning will be better, but no, I had to call my boss that I'm not comming. Idon't know where to go to the doctor here either. It's all so complicated. At least I can stay with my Prince, watch movies and do nothing the whole day. I'm not able to do anything.

Polskie bagienko

Co sie dzieje z tym narodem??? Czy ludzie juz calkiem oglupieli? Zeby wybierac na senatora dinozaura polskiego rocka drugiego gatunku? I to w moim rodzinnym miescie....W sumie to nic dziwnego, w Krakowie pewnie by sie to nie zdarzylo, tam bardziej powazani sa profesorowie niz alkoholicy...... A poza tym to nie lubie braci Kaczynskich i mnie za bardzo nie ciesza wyniki tych wyborow. Przynajmniej nie wygraly bialo-czerwone krawaty albo szalona mlodziez, ale bracia wydaja i sie falszywi. Nie mowiac juz o elementach programu, ale to juz inna historia, bo i tak nawet polowa nie zostanie wprowadzona w zycie znajac polskich politykow.

Enjoying....

Hele! The new week has begun....hurra :) I'm not happy at all, weekend are passing too fast. Howeever my job is getting better since I've changed the magazin on which I'm working to automotive. It appears that we have quite good developed this industry, even though we do not have Polish car.
This weekend we were enjoying Prague. Actually I'd prefer to stay at home but I was forced to be a tourist and finally had a great time. Well, almost great, except our misunderstandings which are seem to be more often now. I'm stressed because of my work and everybody who knows me enough know how terrible and unberable I can be sometimes. Overall the weekend was very nice. And on Saturday we had a dinner with people from Rob's program and then pub and dancing. It was fun.

Co przyniesie jutro?

W końcu rozumiem, co to znaczy czekać na weekend. Rozumiem, chociaż nie chciałabym rozumieć. Chciałabym trochę, żeby wszystko było jak dawniej, beztroskie studenckie życie. Niestety, czasu nie da się cofnąć, jedyne co mi zostało, to zaakceptować, co mi przynosi życie i walczyć o lepszy los. Oj, chyba bardzo pesymistycznie to zabrzmiało, a wcale nie jest źle. Ale zawsze mogłoby być lepiej.

Siostrzyczki w końcu razem

W końcu mam chwilkę, żeby cos napisać. W ubiegłym tygodniu Młoda była u mnie, super było :) Stęskniłam się za nią i miałysmy okazję nagadać się i spędzić trochę czasu razem. Niestety, często byłam taka zmęczona po pracy, że nie chciało mi się nigdzie wychodzić wieczorem, ale i tak myslę, że zobaczyła najważniejsze rzeczy. Było miło, szkoda, że się skonczyło tak szybko. Studia na nią czekają, pierwszy rok :))) Zazdroszczę jej.

summer in the city

oh my godness, it's so hot! I cannot stand it, it's terrible. I just want to go some cold place and stay there but I have to be in the office......
I talked with my best friend Kris today and he seems happy and enjoying holidays. I'm happy for him :)

Waiting for the weekend

It's so terribly slow, this day. Fortunatelly yesterday we had a free day - Philip went somewhere out of Prague for the weekend and didn't manage to come back and as he's the only one who has the keys, we had a longer weekend :) But today is hot and hot and I can't think normally. 3,5 days left :)

Ostatni dzień tygodnia....w końcu

Strasznie męczący był ten tydzień, ale w końcu nadzszedł jego koniec! Jeszcze tylko 25 minut i weekend!!! To wszystko przez tą wizytę z Londynu w srodę i czwartek, bardzo stresującą. Ale za to Robi już jest ze mną. Jutro się wybieramy gdzies, jeszcze nie wiem gdzie, ale będzie fajnie na pewno. Także życzę wszystkim udanego weekendu!

Starting a new life

Uff, I'm at work but my boss is not here at the moment so finally I can write something. Everything is going well. Very well. We'll see for how long. The job is ok, nothing amazing but it's interesting and people are nice. The atmosphere is great. Next week I'm staring calling Poland. Besides that, I moved to our new appartment on Sunday. It's still quite empty, we need to buy a lot of stuff. It will be getting better every month. And I really like the flat. Yesterday my Prince came so I'm not alone any more. We have huuuuge bed but small blanket :) And hopefuly next week my sister will visit us. I haven't figure out yet where she will be sleeping but it's not a problem. Unfortunately we don't have an internet there yet, we have to wait for Ales to take care of that. It's not easy here when you don't speak the language good. I don't have many problems with that but still. I managed to open an bank account in Czech language :)
My life is so changed now: I have to go to bed early, before midnight, get up early, all day at work, not much time for entertainments :) Very strange. And I have to be at work, not like at university, if I was lazy or hangover or something like that, I could just skip the lectures. And now it's impossible. Everything is so different. But I like it at least for now.

Feeling free

I'm back :( I like Prague even little more then Sweden but still it's sad to say goodbye... Something is over :( I hope to see all my friends again. Feel invited to Prague, all of you! Zapraszam do Pragi!

This is the end

It's over! The final seminar - defence wasn't so good: 7 hours very boring, page by page...And my paper seemed not to be good even though my supervisor approved it, but the other teacher said, it's not right. Many people had similar problem with different standards from different teachers. But it doesn't matter any more. It's over and I'm happy. I never cared too much about grades. So it doesn't matter. All my studies are finished. Should I be happy or not? An important period in my life over. And new is starting. My new life ... I'm looking forward to it.

Places which we love

I´m at Hogskolan printing my master thesis and waiting for Prince and to have a cigarette. His final seminar is now. I'm sure he's doing well, he always does. I saw people stressed...oh, it´s a piece of cake compared to Polish defence, when you´re sitting in front of commision and they´re asking you questions from the whole studies. And here you have your paper, you have others papers, just have to discuss (which I probably won´t do, as usuall).
It´s great to be here again, with him and all of my friends. All the places and people.... Very very nice. I´m happy here. Unfortunatelly, I cannot stay and we couldn´t figure out the way to stay in Sweden, so...But I love Prague, so I´ll be hapy to go back, especially that Prince is comming there soon after me.

Sweet home, Falun

I'm so happy! I'm finally with my Love in Sweden. He's GREAT! Wonderful...and I don't have time to write more rgiht now, 'cause he's right here and I don't want to waste even a minute, a second...

Jutro jest w tej chwili

Dzisiaj napiszę cos po polsku, przynajmniej częsciowo. Chociaż i tak nikt tego nie czyta, więc co za różnica...
W końcu jestem szczęsliwa całkowicie. Jutro lecę do Szwecji, do mojego Księcia. On jest niesamowity - nie dosć że przyjeżdża po mnie na lotnisko, to do tego wynajął pokój w hotelu, a jest spłukany. Tylko dla mnie... nikt nie był taki dobry i kochający jak on.
Już nie muszę się martwić, co będzie za dzień, tydzień, miesiąc. Mam mieszkanie, pracę, i on tu niedługo przyjedzie, tydzień po moim powrocie. I będziemy żyli długo i szczęsliwie.

I must try to fly

I've got a job! They called me yesterday from the agency that the publishing company wants me. I was all jumping around while I was talking with this guy. It's so great! And the job looks quite good, even though it's telesales. At least at the begginig. Then it should be more face to face contacts. I'll be responsible for Poland and Polish clients. And they are giving very good training. That's very important 'cause they will just told me to start working, I would have no idea what to do :) Everything is going in good direction. I've finished everything with the program yesterday, this stage is finished. Now, I'm moving on. And I'm very happy to do that.

DOSTAŁAM PRACĘ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jestem taka zmęczona

Zastawiałam się własnie w jakim języku dzisiaj napisać i...jak widać. Cos angielski mi nie idzie, pewnie dlatego, że czuję się taka zmęczona. Tak jakby cały stres ze mnie zszedł i nic nie zostało, zero energii. Tylko że niewiele zostało rozwiązane, stres powinien być nadal, ale sobie poszedł. Może to moje ciało, a przede wszystkim umysł, mi mówi, że potrzebuje odpoczynku. Chyba dopiero w Szwecji. Jutro muszę jeszcze parę rzeczy załatwić i jestem gotowa! Już się nie mogę doczekać. Teraz każda chwila się dłuży.
A w ogóle, to zarezerwowalismy mieszkanie dzisiaj, całkiem fajne: 3 pokoje w miarę duże, zwłaszcza salon, jak u mnie w Lublinie. Mamy tam zamieszkać od 19.08. Poza tym miałam rozmowę o pracę. Drugą z tej serii, bo pierwsza była w agencji. Taki przystojny młody Anglik ze mną gadał, wyglądał całkiem jak starszy książe angielski, syn Diany i Karola. Taki słodki blondynek niebieskooki. To on byłby moim szefem, najwyżej starszy ode mnie o 2 lata. Mam pozytywne przeczucia, ale to może być zdradliwe. W przyszłym tygodniu mają do mnie dzwonić. Ta praca to akurat mi się podoba. Bo daje perspektywy. I całkiem niezłe zarobki. Do tego będę pracować i po angielsku i po polsku, całkiem miło. I czeskiego liznę liznę. Ale ciężko wyczuć. Jedyne co wiem, że jak na razie nie mają innych kandydatów. A myslę, że wrażenie zrobiłam w porządku. Zwłaszcza koles nie mógł uwierzyć jak w tym samym roku udało mi się skończyć studia na dwóch kierunkach i to w różnych krajach. Nic to, zobaczymy....
A dzisiaj się imprezka szykuje, chociaż może się cos zmieni. I jutro też :)

Błogie lenistwo

I've finifhed! Totally. I've send the paper! And now I'm going shopping (grocery) cause I don't have anything to eat, I didn't have time to go shopping recently. Uff finally!

Trudno nie wierzyć w nic

Ostatnio słucham całymi dniami Raz Dwa Trzy...

JUTRO MOŻEMY BYĆ SZCZĘSLIWI
nadzieja to plan, on ziści się nam
przydarzy się, na pewno się zdarzy
więc uwierz za dwóch, ty i twój duch
z nadzieją wam będzie do twarzy
więc uwierz za dwóch, ty i twój duch
z nadzieją jest bardziej do twarzy
jutro możemy być szczęśliwi
jutro możemy tacy być
jutro by mogło być w tej chwili
gdyby w ogóle mogło być
oto jest czas, on zmienić ma nas
to czas, który ma nas zmienić
nim zgadniesz jak, przeoczysz znak
tan znak, co jest źródłem nadziei
nim zgadniesz jak, przeoczysz znak
tan znak, co jest źródłem nadziei
jutro możemy być szczęśliwi
jutro możemy tacy być
jutro by mogło być w tej chwili
gdyby w ogóle mogło być
niech wiara się tli, dodając ci sił
by na nic nie było za późno
lecz traci swój sens, gdy głupi masz cel
i góry przenosisz na próżno
lecz traci swój sens, gdy głupi masz cel
i góry przenosisz na próżno
jutro możemy być szczęśliwi
jutro możemy tacy być
jutro by mogło być w tej chwili
gdyby w ogóle mogło być


TAK MÓWI PISMO

uwierzysz choćbyś wierzył w niewiarę
niewiara jest jak wiara na miarę
daremną, lecz nienadaremno
niewiara to także przyjemność
dostąpisz- choćbyś wątpił i błądził
osądzisz- choć nie ty tutaj sądzisz
zwątpisz- w przenajświętsze zaklęcia
zabłądzisz- ale tylko na klęczkach

tak mówi Pismo Święte
słowa w nim tkwią niepojęte
tak mówi Pismo Święte i niepojęte słowa w nim tkwią
a nie napotkać mocy tych słów może byś umiał
a choćbyś chciał nie będziesz mógł

wybaczysz- żebyś mógł nienawidzić
zaprzeczysz- żebyś nie mógł nie wiedzieć
zdradzisz- choć przysiągłeś że kochasz
zdrada- też jest darem od Boga

Freedom!!!

Uh oh.....Finally!!!!! I finished my thesis!!! I have to send it until tomorrow 3 p.m. So probably I'll check it once more tomorrow morning. Now I'm so tired...mentaly, from this bargain. I'm afraid it's not good, but we'll see. As usually I just want to pass. It's strange here when I'm talking with people from this program, who were always the best at their universities and graduated with distingsion. And I always just wanted to pass....and quite often the result was better than I was expecting. I hope this time will be the same. But actually I kow it's not very good paper, cause I spend too much time on this stupid math here. Is it an excuse? Of course. Well, we'll see what future will bring.
Now I have to concentrate on job. It doesn't look so optimistic any more. No, I will not write anything sad and pessimistic! No way!!! I will find a job here!

Tymczasem przenoś moją duszę utęsknioną do tych pagórków lesnych, do tych łąk zielonych

I saw that Prince made a test: what language should he learn. The result was obvious: Swedish. So I've made the test myself, thinking that maybe I should learn Japanese or some egzotic language. Ha! Mine result was: SWEDISH! Unfortunately something is not working and I can't post it like he did, but the comment is: Fantastisk! You're laid back about learning a language - and about life in general.Peaceful, beautiful Sweden is ideal for you... And you won't even have to speak perfect Swedish to get around!
Oh, good old Swede, I wish I were there right now with him...Well, one cannot have everything. At least it's only 2 weeks left and we'll be together!

Life is a miracle

And the next weekend is finished. Even though I am not doing anything special during week, I feel weekends - my friends have more time and we always do something. For example yesterday we played voleyball for 3 hours. It was great! But today all my body hurts, but it was worth. And then we watched a movie "Life is a miracle" by Emir Kusturica, very good film about the war in Jugoslavia (it is not a war movie, more about the meaning of life and love and so on). And of course as in every his movie the music was great! So that was yesterday. And Friday of course party, but i didn't have fun, I miss my Prince more and more and it'snot easy to forget about that. I know it's only 2 weeks (jupi! hurra!) but it seems so long....
Finally I started to work on my thesis seriously. I have final plan of everything, I am sure what I will write and how. Of course I've written most of it already, but I need to add some more stuff and check the rest. So I think it should be finished by the end of this week. So just before the deadline. hehe as usual, but time pressure makes me work more effectively. So I'm getting back to work!

I need home

My last day at school....I went to the office to officially quit the program, but i still have to come back here to do some paper work. But it's finished.
I looked at job vacancies in Warszwa - there is less than half of what is here! I'm staying here! Definitely! I was thinking about it and figured out that now I need any job to stay here, learn Czech and earn some money. I'll have time to look for a good job and I think I can find something. Lida is looking for the appartment for us (for her, her boyfriend, me and my Prince), everything is going well. I hope it will end up well too. Because now everything is still not certain. i hate that. I want to have a normal life finally. To know, that I'm living somewhere for good, not only for a few months! I think 5 years of life like that is enough! And I don't want to move any more! I want to bring all of my stuff to one place and be hapy in that place! I just have to finish students life! It's enough! I want to be responsible, work, and have normal home! My own home and not just a room in students house! And I'm going to get that very soon!

All I want is inner peace

So I had already 5 interviews. Oh, looking for a job is so tiring, somebody should pay for it! But I'm optimistic and I think I'll get something especially that now I want to get any job to stay here and have time and money to look for something nice. One company is quite promising: they are creating their branch here in Prague for the whole Eastern Europe and they need one Polish native speaker, on Czech, one Hungarian, one Slovakian and one ...they don't know yet. They sell adverticing space in profesional magazines. And they provide traning and quite good conditions. So I hope this will workout. Or Swarovski shop - just think about working with all those beatiful things, their jewellery is amazing!!! We'll see, but I'm sure it is easier here that it would be in Poland. And I want to stay here!

Use your illusion

I had the first interview today. I mean not the first in my life, but here and now. Since I've started looking for a job. It was very nice and so on, but the job is not forme, unfortunatelly. No problem, I have next two tomorrow and one the day after tomorrow and ..... maybe more. I've found a perfect job for me: customer service for Polish clients. They require good Polish language skills (hehe) and English , study/ work experience abroad (I have both) and...more or less that's all. So I am perfect for the job! And the job seems perfect for me. But they haven't contacted me yet. I send my application on Sunday and nothing :((( I still have some hope but not much. Well, tomorrow is a new day!

Łączcie się w pary

Wczoraj mielismy wielką imprezę. Bardzo smieszną zresztą. Jakbym się cofnęła w czasie do liceum albo pierwszego roku studiów. Znaczy nie ja, ale ci, z którymi byłam. Niewyobrażalne! Jak ludzi zmienia wyrwanie się z domu, ze swojego srodowiska. Tu są sami bardzo poważni ludzie, ekonomisci, ąę ogólnie rzecz biorąc. A wczoraj większosć się bardzo upiła, bardzo, ale nie bardziej niż my się upijamy na imprezach. Tylko że im zniknęły wszelkie hamulce. Pary gdzieś po krzakach się miętosiły, ktoś poszedłpływać w jeziorze,gdzie jest zakaz i w ogóle wżyciu bym tam nie poszła. Masakra! Ja nie wiem, ale jakbym się nie upiła, to się tak nie zachowuję. Normalnie szok. No i takie jaja się tu dzieją. Przynajmniej jest ciekawie. Ja nie jestem jakaś konserwatywna, ale to była przesada jak dla mnie. Hehe bawcie się ludzie dobrze!

Tiger of Europe

It's amazing!!! I'm having two job interviews next week! After 2 or 3 days of sending my cv's! Of course it doesn't mean that I'll get those jobs or that they will be good jobs, but still. In Poland I'd probably need at least 2 months for that! And I don't speak Czech fluently. It gave me lots of hope! Maybe I will be able to stay here, in Prague.
Aha, and I have a new phone number, Czech one, if somebody would like to contact me :)

Time to say goodbye

Uff, it's been a hard time for me. Last ...week or so. Last Thursday I wasnted to quit the program, then on Friday I've changed my mind. It was very emotional decision and made very fast. So easy to change. Weekend was very nice - parties mainly (well, it was actually one party on Saturday) and meeting people, talking. Until Sunday when I've started to do my homeworks. And it just wasn't working at all. I couldn't force me to do math, to concentrate on those numbers. Numbers and numbers and numbers. And the same in microeconomics and macroeconomics. So finally, on Monday I've made decision: I quit. And I did. It is not a program for me. It's all math and not much more. And it's silly forme to explain people's behaviour by numbers! I don't want to stuck here for4 years. At least this decision was well thought out. Not made under the pressure of emotions as the last one, when I was crying the whole day.
But! I'm not leaving Prague! At least I hope. I'm trying to find a job here. I've started yesterday so I don't know how it will work out, but no harm in trying. I've paid for dormitory for the whole month, I have plane tickets to Sweden from and to Prague. And I have here good conditions to write my thesis, which is now terrible! I should definetely work harder on it. Now I at least have time for that, however sending c.v.s and cover letters takes me really a lot of time. It's hard work looking for a job!
So keep your fingers crossed!

Nadzieja uczyni realnym krok w chmurach

Wczoraj był bardzo ciężki dzień, i nie mówię tym razem o Londynie, o religiach, demokraccji ani o niczym równie poważnym, tylko o sobie. Podjęłam decyzję, że wracam do Polski, bo nie daję rady, ani z nauką, a z otoczeniem też są problemy. Jak widać, zmieniłam zdanie po rozmowie z moim Ukochanym, Rodzicami i Przyjacielem. Za wczesnie jeszcze, żeby rezygnować. Nie można się poddawać tak szybko! O wszystko w życiu trzeba walczyć, więc chociaż tyle mogę zrobić - walczyć. Jesli się nie uda, trudno. Ale przynajmniej nie będę miała poczucia, że uciekłam. I nie będę żałować. Najważniejsze to niczego nie żałować!
Z drugiej strony dostałam maila od promotora ze Szwecji, ogólnie mówiąc: kiepsko. Dużo pracy mnie czeka jeszcze z magisterką, a nie mam na to czasu. Ale trzeba być dobrej mysli.
p.s. Specjalnie dla Ciebie, Przyjacielu, wpis po polsku :)) Bardzo Ci dziękuję za rozmowę, zwłaszcza po tym, co razem przeszlismy. I mam nadzieję, że jest Ci dobrze w tym górskim raju :)

Sad sad day

What's a horrible day! I will never understand how people can kill other people, innocent people! Any religion cannot justify that! And now my friends again say how bad islam is...but now I have Muslim friends and somehow I cannot agree on that! That's too much for me to understand, no politics or anything can explain that. How can I believe that people are good when again and again something so terrible is happening...But I want to believe that the nature of people is good...

Fun time!

Yesterday I finally did something else besides studying the whole days. Just after classes I went to Vysehrad. And I'm in love with it! It's amazingly beautiful.
It used to be a castle (Vysehrad means castle on the hill), build earlier than Prague Castle, was also the capital of Bohemia and Poland (!) during the period when the Premyslides were rullers of Poland, 1291-1306. (Actually it the capital of Poland was Kraków at that time, but Vysehrad was the seat of the royal family.) Oh, I'm looking at the dates and something is wrong - in 1140 the capital was moved to Prague Castle, so...maybe it wasn't the capital of Poland. It doesn't matter, it is beautiful! I'm going to spend there a lot oftime, especially that it's on my the way home. Unfortunatelly, Prince couldn't be with me. And I'm sure he'd love it as he loves all old castles :)
And now I'm doing my homeworks....

Guilty pleasures

Jestem tu już 2 tygodnie! I coraz bardziej mi się podoba. W końcu zaczęlismy się poznawać i wyskoczylismy pare razy do knajpy. Bardzo miło było.

On Thursday, the school organized a party for us and they've paid for the beer!!! How much we wanted! Everybody got really drunk, especially guys. And teachers :) As we have the last metro at midnight, we went back after 23pm but in few groups. And everybody independly went to a pub near to our dormitory (it is actually in the same building). So we had few more beers there. It was very funny night, especially our teacher from South America dancing latin dances with all girls. In the middle of the party I went for a walk cause I didn't want to get too drunk. And I've visited places where I'd been with Prince. It was nice but also sad. And Prague is so beautiful at night! It is always beautiful but nights are the best. Anad now I have to go back to my master thesis :) and later math. Jupi!
Oh and thatk you for comments :)) I'm very surprise that you actually read it :)
