Charity for flood people

On June in Poland was a huge flood. The water came out from river's troughs and covered big areas on many places in Poland. The water came to people's houses and took out stuff from that. Some people lost everything they had. Thank God, my families house located next to the river didn't suffer on thar flood. Since that moment other people help them, they bring some clothes, cosmetic and of course money. Even here, in United States many people are ready for help flood victims. Every Sunday after mass some volunteers collect money for powodzian, that's mean for flood people. These volunteers also arranges party on last Saturday. The money from tickets, from food, and drinks that people bought there, will go to Poland for flood victims. My boyfriend and I went to that party. That was such a good idea. We had fun of dancing, listen the music, eating real polish food, on the other words we were part of the charity. I always feel big compassion for people who lost something. I am always ready to help them because I never know what can happen with me one day. Maybe one day I will be in the bad situation and someone will help me.

Polish Tragedy in Smoleńsk

Polish president, and other 95 people were killed on April 10, 2010, when their plaine crashed in heavy fog near Smoleńsk, Russia. Poland has suffered. Since War World II that was the worst political disaster for our country. The crash wiped almoust half of Poland's leaderships, also in that tragedy died the presiden't wife, Maria. The president had bees flying to Smoleńsk to attend 70 anniversary of Katyń massacre, when Soviet secret police executed 15,000 Polish officers in one of the worst incident in War World II. Even though that no one blame Russia of that tragedy, there are some suspicious that someone could did some sabotage to kill these people.
Russian officials said that the airport, 430 km west from Moscow had been closed of the fog. They advaised pilot to land on Moskow or Mińsk instead, but he continued his origin plan and flow to the Smoleńsk. According to wittness the president's plane was 20 meters of the ground, when it plogued into the trees.
Nothing like this has never happen in Poland, but what that it's mean our for future. Can we feel save in our country? Hopefully yes.

Weekend in the Narure

Everyone needs some rest from time to time. If you work hard, or go to school, you have take some vocation and have some relax. Last weekend I spent on the camp on Delawere rivere. My friends and I were sleeping in tents. We were swimming in the river and got a tan. Every night we smoked meat on the fire. We were sitting around the fire place, were talking, singing, and litening the music. One day we did kayaks thing and that was a big pleasure for everybody. The most amazing thing was the nature. We were located next to the river, aroud us was such a fantastic mountains view. The air there is very clear and fresh. All of that weekend was full of relax. We went to sleep very late, and woke up late in the mornings - that was great. Nobody was thinkig of work or school. On Sunday afternoon everybody got a little sad of fact that we should packed our stuff and go back home. However, we decided go there at least one more time in this summer season. We will repeat all of these things and hopefully have the same fun.

Just a regular day

In this morning I didn't really have a power to study or to do something creative. I was just lazy. I should mention that today I didn't have a work in the morning. Around 9 o'clock I made and drank my morning coffee and a little breakfast (I don't need to eat much in the morning) I had a boiled egg, and that was absolutely enough for me. I was in my pajamas when I decided to call my mom. Than in Poland was late afternoon so my mom had a time to talk to me. I love to listen her when she is telling about things that happen in my family and neighborhood. Even though that today she didn't have any special news, I had a fun to listen her voice. I miss her so much. After a couple hours of talking my mom said that she wanted to get ready to go to church. She goes to church very often, even if is just a regular day like today. Than I should get ready to work, so I finished that call. In my work place is very calm today. Dorothy is lying on the sofa and watching some news on TV. On the same time I doing my homework (I'm almost done). Now is 5 o'clock. It is time to go to school. Let me pack my computer and other stuff. My way to school will take like 25 min, but it is always good to be earlier at school. So see you there.

Poverty

About 25000 people die every day of hunger. Most of them are children. In every 5 second die one child. That's happen of poverty issue. Nearly one of four people live less than 1 dollar per day. In some parts of India and Africa people dying on the street of some diseases or starving.
Today I was reading some articles about world's hunger, and that sad facts put me to the way of thinking about what's going on on the world. Very often I am about complaining of daily duty; I have to go to work, I have to study, I have this, I have that. Sometimes is good to get some knowledge about exist other people on the world. To compare my life with people from poor part of the world, I can say that I am so lucky person. I have a place to live, I have my own room and a bed. I have clothes, food and I can easy get a medicine if I need.
The conclusion of my poverty studying today is I can not complain about my life, because people around the world are in a really bad position. I also decided to help poor people. In internet I found many organizations which help poor people. There are accounts numbers. It is easy to send some money for this people, who really need help.

Bad Memory

On the last weekend I was watching Dorothy, the old lady, which is a mother of my boss. She is a very nice, sweet lady. The one of a problem is that she has a bad memory. She remembers lots of details from her even childhood, but she has a trouble with memorizes what she ate an hour ago or what she did yesterday. In this morning her daughter Lisa came here to get Dorothy, her mother to the doctor, I guess geriatric doctor who could help her with her memory. Although she persuasive her mother about going, she couldn't get her, because her mom didn't want to go. She was stubborn as a little child. After a while everybody got upset of that fact. Lisa should canceled the doctor appointment because nothing worked, her mom said that she is not going and that is it. After a few hours Lisa give up and she left this place, because she should go to her work. She said that is genetic disease in their family. She was felt very sad and cried. She didn't want to anything beside help her mom. I was watching all of it and I felt sorry to Lisa and her mother also. That incidence pushed me thinking of the way that elder age sometimes is not fun. When you are young you do whatever you want by yourself, you are doing your career but later your person is like used old car, nobody need it. Isn't sad?

Drugs

Drugs are chemical or substances which change way our bodies work. When you put drug to your body, by swallowing, inhaling or injecting them, the drugs find the way in your bloodstreem and go to other part of your body, for example brain. In the brain drugs can intensify or decrease phisical pain. There are many different kind of drugs. Some of them like antibiotics or vaccine help people a lot with their disease. They can lower blood preasure, trate diabetes and reduced body rejection of new organ. The drug may be helphul or harmful. The effect of drugs depends of kind of dugs, how much you take, how often, and what other substances you take. Although at the begining drugs can make you feel good, they harm your body and brain. Some people, especially take drugs because they want to more active, more popular, or they want to think better. Other are just curious what is it. Many depressed people want to help theirself or figure out their problems by drugs. Honestly, I am totaly skared of bad drugs. I know that so many people are edicted of drugs, and that is their killer. Beside medicines I have never tauched any bad drugs. Even though, that use drugs is prohibited, growing number of users and sellers durs. That fact makes me concournes about next generation. How to protect our children of not using drugs? That could be not easy.

My Dreams

Everyone has dreams about something. Everyone's dreams are different. Some people dreams about big careers, others about fortune. I have also some dreams. First of all, I want to travel. I wish that one day I will be able to go to trip to around the world. I really want to see countries where I never was, the culture and people habits there. I really want to taste the regional foods, and see people's overage day. My another dream is my career. I do not dream about high position or do something special. I just want to have a normal work for example as a teacher, stay in a work place maximum for ten hours, do not be very tired at the end of the days and afternoons have for me. My last dream, and the most important one is about my own family. I wish that I will have a nice husband and lovely children. I hope that I will have enough time for my members. My husband and I will rise our children in a very nice families atmosphere. I know that make my dreams real could be very hard for me, but in my opinion I have to have a goal, than will be easier to make the dreams realistic. I am in a good way. I study now. In future I will have a job. Than I will get married and will grow children. When the children will be adults, than I will travel. Isn't sounds good? I believe that my dreams will come true one day.

My Guitar

Since I was a child in my families house was a guitar. Than I wasn't interested in that very much. When my brother was a little, he started to play some music on guitar. Lately he began to be a pretty good with it. At this moment I really don't know why I started to try to play guitar. That was because I was a little bit jealous of my younger brother ability, or I just simply wanted to play some music. I have never took any guitar lessons, all I know about playing the guitar comes from my brother and one of my friends. I am not a professional, but I can play and sing some songs. My favorite are religious songs. I like to play them when I am sad or when I am not in a really good mood. For me playing religious songs is like a pray. I love it. Also I use my guitar in my one workplace, which is a kindergarten. The children that I teach just love to sing when I play the guitar. Sometimes I also play the guitar when some friends come to visit me or just my boyfriend. Some songs we sing together, and we have fun to do it. This is good to play some instrument, even if you are not perfect with this.The music makes a lovely atmosphere. Playing the guitar always makes me good feeling.

Saint People

Today I was talking with Dorothy about sait people. That made me inspiration to write a blog about them. There is a lot of people whose in their life made something amazing, and God put them to range Saints. Since a child I was listening stories about Blessed and Saint People. These storiel told me my mom and my two aunt which where nuns. Many of them had just amazing harysm. For example Father Pio had stygmats on his hands, he also could be in two places at the same time. The Saint Francisco could talking with even wild animals. My favorite is Pope John II whose not saint yet. His case is in process, which probably will take so much time. When he was alive, he did a miraculus, fenomenal things like took away many serious sick from people, he survived after a shout that he got from one guy. John Paul II really deserve to be saint. I am pretty sure that one day he will be one of saints in the haven.

Bad Mood

Sometimes I have bad filings which comes to me just without the reason. Since this morning I don't feel well, I am sad. I am pretty sure that I have a homesick. To help myself I was calling to my mom today. I didn't talk to her for a long time because she was busy with her daily duty. After that call my friend called me by skype. Talking with her always makes me feel better. In a better mood I came to work. I can not be sad there. The lady that I watch, can feel my bad feeling, and I don't want to make her bad mood too. With Dorothy I spent few hours. We were talking about many interesting things like travel, famous people, and saint people. Around 5 o'clock came her daughter Susanne, and she let me go home. Now I am in my place. I like to be here. I cooking my favorite tomatoe soup. Soon will come my boyfriend Michael. We will have my soup for a dinner. I am pretty sure that since the moment he will enter my door, I will be very happy.

Today I woke up like an old car. Yesterday I was working very hard, and in this morning I was feeling all of my massels. Thank God I had a free time today until noon. I made and drank my coffee, checked my e-mails, and did some homework. Usually when I have some free time I go to the mall even for look around and see new clothes and shoes. That what I did today. I was looking for a fancy, ballroom dress, but I did't see anything that I liked. I decided to wear one of my old, I mean one of dress that I bought before on the polish student party that I go on this coming Satturday. All I bought today is a skirt. When I going to wear that skirt, probably I going to look like a little girl from elementary school, but I really like stuff like trhis. When I was in the mall, the girl that I babysite was calling me. She wanted to come to my workplace earlier than usually. Right after my little shopping today, I left the mall and went to the Wesport. Isabelle had a driving training today, so I drived her to the driving school. While she was there, I went to the Donkin Donats and I got a coffee and a bagle. I was so hungry. I was waiting for her, and I drinking my coffee and eating my bagle. When she finished, we came back to her home. Soon after that I went to school on my reading/writing class. When I came back home, I just talked a little bit with my roommates and went to bed.

My Weekend With out of Class Essey

My last weekend, my boyfriend and I were planning since couple weeks. We had a plan to go to Delawer State and do kajakis, pontons and and other attractions like hiking. After reading/writing class on last Thursday, I changed my mind completaly. The profesor gave us lots of homework and essey to write. I got upset of changing our plans, but I should to. On Friday evening I was trying to do some homework, but I couldn't concentrate and I didn't have any idea what to write for my essey, I got frustration and I wanted to cry. Around 9 pm by boyfriend came to my place, we were talking and after that I started to feel a little bit better. On Saturday morning I was cleaning my place, than was my turn to do it. I spent for it a couple hours. After that I was ready to do my homework but right after I set next to my computer, my sister from Spaine called me on the skype. Of course I got her call, and another 1.5 hours just flew. O.k, now I do my homework I felt. I was trying to organize my essey when my boyfriend Michael called me, just to ask me how am I, how is my essey, and when I will be able to go with him at list for a walk that afternoon. The weather was beautiful, sunny and a little windy, perfect for going on the beach or go biking. Than I was about crying. I still didn't have any ideas what to write about. Than Marta, our classmate called me, just to discuss about essey. We exchanges ideas, and since that moment I had a plan what to write about. The only problem that I had, I was too tired of even thinbking about the essey. Than Michael gave me a proposition to go out for a little while. I decided to take a little rest and go with him. We went to the Crab Shell restaurant in Stamford. There was a concert alive's musicians, I love that. We ate a little something and drank a bear. I started to feel relaxed. Next day, on Sunday since morning I was working with my homework. Around 6pm, I was done, that was such a good news for Michael. 30 minuts later he came to my place and he took me to the movie. That was a very nice evening, especially because there we met ours friends. After the movie we went to some club, we spent couple more hours together. We had a really good time and so much fun.

Wendesday, June 16th

Today I had a free morning, I did't have to rush to work. I woke up around 9am. In my pigamas I went to the kitchen and there I had a cup of coffe. After than I took a shower. I have a mess in my room, but I was to lazy to clean this up. I couldn't do my homework, because something was wrong with the internet, I didn't have any network. I dressed up and went to the Stamford mall. I have a couple of gift cards, which I wanted to use of my shopping. I was walking from one to another store but I didn't see anything ineresting for me. I was ready to left the moll, when I decided to see one more shop that was H&M. Today there were lots of sales. I found one dress which catched my eyes from the first moment since I saw that. That dress is from very soft material, with mix of grey and black colors. I think that dress will be perfect to go to the beach. The best what I like on this dress is a price. I spent only seven dollars for that dress. I was so happy that I got that dress. Around 1pm I got to my work place. Isabelle was at home already. Aleksander, another child that I watch came back from school a little bit later. I prepared them some snack and drinks. Now both of them are in their rooms and they are studying for tests that they have tomorrow. Is 4.15 now. I guess that in 1.5 hours I'll be done with my work today.

My Dad

My Dad's name is Tadeusz, since two years he is not alive.He was born in September 1940, that was a World War II period. When he was six mounths, his family and him were deported to Basarabia, Russia. Nobody knows exactely why his family was chhosen for this bad thing. He spent all his childhood there until the war ended, that wasn't easy. Since a child he used to work on my grandparent's farm. Even though that he didn't have easy life, he was a great person. For all of his life he worked very hard on his own farm and also as a house builder. I remember him when he was coming back home after work, he was exhousted, but he never complained of that. He knew that had to work for his family. He had a big family; eight children and he was so happy with that fact. Although that he worked hard during the days, he was very optimistic person. I remember him how he was sitting with us, his children at the end of the days. Then he joked, and played games and cards with us. I loved it.

Three years ago he got a very serious sick - lung cancer. He was taking strong medicines and radiotherapy. His body was to wimp to get chemotherapy. Around six mounths later he dyed. That was the worst thing in my life. I couldn't be there when was his funeral of my visa status issue. I was praying of his soul and I feel taht he takes care of me when I have a hard time.

Few more things about my mom

Unfortunatelly I finished last post earlier. I want add a few more things about my mom. My mom has an artists ability. She sings and play piano very nice. She also is a joke maker and kind of actor. Very often I was laughing like crazy of her jokes. When she makes a joke she also changes her voice. She copies other people, she sounds like them and she moves her body like other people do. Sometimes this is very funny.
My mom is my best friend. She is the most lovely and trust person in my life. I miss her very much and I hope to see her soon.

My Mom

My mom's name is Maria and she is sixty five. My mom has a very good personality. She is a very patient and calm person. The humor that she has is the thing that I like the most about her. She makes lots of jokes which make people lough. When my mom was nineteen she married my dad. They were a very good couple for 44 years, until my dad dyed. My parents fostered eight children, and that fact is amazing for me. Even though that my mom always worked very hard, she was never complaining about herself.Two years ago she had the biggest lost in her life, her husbend's, my father's death. That hurted her so much and since that moment she has a hard time, she misses my dad very much. My mom is very religious person. She prays a lot, several times a day. She also goes to the church very often. I guess that praing makes her strong with struggling with her concouries.

My Village

Today I want describe a little bit the place were I grew up. I am from South East Poland. There is small village called Uszkowce. Around that village are forests, which make a circle horizont around that place. I liked to go to forest from time to time to pick up some mashrooms. In that village live like twenty six families and everybody know each other very well. People live there and mostly they work on the farms. They growth crops like potatoes, beats, seeds, corn etc. My parents also had a farm. We had a cows, horse, pigs, hans, ducks, and geese. My parents, siblings and I also worked on the field with crops, vegetables and seeds. Most of growth were as a food for as or animals that we had. I loved to work with animals, especially when were born a little horse, calf, and some poultry. In my memory I have also the view of my families atmosphere. Even during some work we were lucky to spend a time with my parents and siblings (six sisters and brother) In Uszkowce I spend my childhood and there is still my heart. I remember every single little place there where I was plaing with my siblings especially with my younger brother Marek. I remember some crazy things that we make together like jumping on the hay or making "cakes" from the mud. Actually I am in the United States and I have no idea when I will go again to my childhood place, my village. I believe that soon I will go there, and that will be so lucky day for me.

Minnewaska State Park

Today I woke up very tired because I didn't sleap last night for a long time. Last night my boyfiend and I were out, we went to the disco and I came back home very late. In this morning my boyfiend Michael called me and asked me about going to the Minnewaska State Park. I didn't really like this idea, but he persuaded me. We prepared equipment like some water, food and clothes, and at around 9 o'clock am we left my place. Around 11 o'clock we got our destination point. There we entered a restaurant and had some lunch. I had fish and chips and Michael chicken with mushed potatoes. Then we got out our bicycles and went to drive them in the park. I love to be in that park. There are mountains, lots of trees, and a lake in the middle of park. There are also very good track to walk or biking. You can spend there a while between the nature and fresh air. After a couple hours the little rain started to raining, then we decided to go home. We had a little traffic on the roads, so our back trip was a little bit longer than normaly. We were happy that we could go there and spend some time there. This is very good to go sometimes somehere especially to some nature place and with a nice companion, like my boyfriend. Today we decided to do a similar trips as many times as will be possible. Beside so much fun, other good thing is spending very low money. All that you pay is a gas and some tolls.

My Passion - Dance

Since I was a child I love to dance. Beside one short dance course that I took in the past, I have never take any dance classes. Even though that I'm not a professional, I can dance. There is so many different styles and types of dance. Usually they come from some countries or regions. For example latin dances come from South America. Usually they have a sexy, hot styles. To this category belong dances like: salsa, bachata, merenge, samba etc. The other group of dances is ballroom style. To this style belong dances like watz, tango, foxtrot, quickstep, jive. Even though that many os these dances I know basic steps I like to dance my own style. My boyfriend is a really good dancer also, and both of us love to go to some parties. Our favorite music is dancing music and light rock. We like to be creative in our dances. I like when Michael twists me and turned my body in many ways. I enjoy dancing with him very much. The dance is a thing which makes me the biggest pleasure in my life.
