What was your dream job, when you were a child? How has it been changing while growing?  I think I’ve always wanted to be so many, I could never decide. I wanted to study history of art, then journalism, management, environmental protection, fashion design. At the end i ending up studying people in real life and reading for pleasure and for knowledge at home, and working as a waitress.

Now probably I know why I was interested in so many things, finally after many years I think I am very close to realize that I would love to be a writer, to create my own reality and be whoever the hell I want and be whenever I want by just sitting in front of a computer or at the desk with pen and a piece of paper discovering my mind.

Isn’t that awesome? The idea of it gives me thrills, the only thing I have to do is to write. So my next question is; which books influenced you when you were a child?

I loved books by Astrid Lindgren, who doesn’t remember The Children of Noisy Village, or The Moomins by Tove Jansson, A little Princess by Frances Hodgson Burnett. 

When I was a child that books( and many other) meant a world to me, really. I love to travel, and reading for me is like travelling, instead of only changing the place, I change myself, sometimes a century and even worlds. A good book can take you with the story. And it is actually true that myself reading books as a child I felt I am a part of the story, for me it was a reality in a moment I was reading. I will always think that this is magic, and I am so grateful, for human beings for being, especially for being themselves. Take and give, that`s a circle of life. And sometimes I am thinking what is going to happen when we will start to use more of a percentage of our brains. Who will we become?

Imagination is an incredible force. Usually it’s well developed in children, but as adults we tend to imagine very often as well. It is a little bit different this time. We focus on our work, paying bills, making food, cleaning, trying to keep a healthy relationship. But we imagine, when we are bored we are going away to a land in our heads, where is happening what we would like to happen. It’s called a daydreaming, and when we’ re caught doing that we are laughed at, and maybe a coffee is offered ( which is a pleasurable alternative as well) or something else is thought about us(whatever).

My point is it’s ok to dream, it’s ok to think big, it’s ok to imagine scenario’s in our heads, because that usually leads to make your thoughts be real. To transform your thoughts into something real, into a dress you were imaging in your head, because there were no dresses in a shop you would like to have, in doing a driving licence and then buying a car because you were always thinking about racing.

There is a book and there is a movie, probably most of the people know about, it’s called; ‘A never ending story’. It tells a story of a boy; Bastian, who is reading about a land called: ‘Fantasia’, which is being destroyed by Nothing. An empress is sending a warrior Atreju, who is looking for a cure, he is meeting creatures on his way who are trying to help him, but it seems that Nothingless is taking over the Fantasia. Bastian is a boy who can save this world by dreaming, believing in his dreams.

That’s what all action is taking steps from. It starts from a though in your head, and maybe it will sound cliche but you are the only person who will decide if it comes to life.

For all those who are fighting- Keep Believing, for those who doubt- keep questioning, who those who are in a moment where they don’t know which action take, try both, if it’s not possible, ‘listen to your heart’, because deep inside you know, you are just scared to admit it.

Amen.

Kraków jest niewątpliwie miastem pełnym uroku, romantycznym, artystycznym i pełnym zabytków, dlatego zjeżdża się tutaj masę turystów.

Uwielbiam go, jednakże chciałam zapytać jak sobie radzicie tutaj w Krakowie?Chodzi mi o pogodzenie kwestii finansowej i z komfortem. Nie jest już podobno trudno o pracę( chociaż mi zajęło około miesiąca, żeby znaleźć pracę recepcjonistki, co jest niewątpliwie bardzo długo). Przeprowadziłam się już jakiś czas temu z wielkiego brytyjskiego miasta, gdzie wszystko, a szczególnie przejazdy komunikacją miejską i czynsz były ogromnie drogie, natomiast podsawowe zarobki i tak pozwalały na to, żeby w ciagu miesiąca pracy pozwolić sobie na dres z Nike, czy wypad za miasto, a po dwóch miesiącach pracy pojechać do Hiszpani na kilka dni, za tygodniową wypłatę.

Niestety, bardzo ciężko jest mi się oswoić z mieszkaniem w Krakowie teraz, chociaż jestem rodowitą Krakuską. Ale jak to zrobić, żeby za 2200 zł brutto utrzymać się w Krakowie. Tyle rzeczy trzeba sobie odmówić, może obniżyć swój standard, albo może Polacy są już przyzwyczajeni do tego typu zarobków. Niestety ja jak narazie nie umiem. Po pierwsze nie lubię gotować, do tego stopnia, że wolę chodzić głodna, niż przygotować pracochłonny posiłek. Wiem, wiem, trochę teraz marudzę. Ale jakbym dostała jakieś cenne wskazówki, co robić, żeby godnie żyć i mieszać w Krakowie byłoby super.

Jak narazie prauję jako recepcjonistka, ale od zawsze interesowała mnie sztuka, pisanie i podróżowanie. Macie może jakąs pracę dla mnie? Nie omieszkam stwierdzić, że jestem kreatywna i pracowita(jak mam nawał materiału, inaczej jednak trochę leniwa).

Pozdawiam Was, w szczególności studentów w ten chłodny październikowy wieczór. By the way; Grzejecie już w domach?

 

Forgotten Voices of the Holocaust By Lyn Smith.

 

That’s a book people should definitely go through. There are information’s from mostly Jewish survivors,who have had they families murdered, needed to hide, live in ghettos or in a concentration camps.

 

Information in this book  show readers that it started already in 1933 to times after war, showing how Jewish people could’t really come back to their countries because they weren’t welcomed even though the war was finished. Many of them moved to Palestine, Uk or South of America.

At thirst Jewish people started to be treated badly, it was common to be rude to a jewish person at school, on the streets. Then they couldn’t sell their products, no one wanted to buy it from them. Many have seen what’s the situation, and their packed their bags and moved. They saw that something is coming, and its better to move to a safe place now.

Even though some weren’t really practicing Judaism, They were born in Germany and they felt German, It didn’t matter they were Jews. Till now I can’t really understand why they have chosen Jewish people to kill.

Jews were surprised how was that even possible that German people agreed on this, how that well-mannered people, and intelligent could let that happen.

In Poland there were many Polish Jews living, especially in Kazimierz in Kraków where I live. That was their home, and Nazis put them in a Ghetto, were many people were inhabiting tiny rooms. There was not enough food, medicine. Only few could get outside to work in factories. Nazis told Polish people that they are sick, and they need to be in quarantine, in a ghetto, closed from the others. Lies, Lies and Lies.

There is many information told in a book, by different people. That’s why it’s even more interesting to get to know a similar situation from a different point of view.

Concentrations camp where Jews were travelling in animal carriages squeezed for days, hours, without food and water, dying already in there from exhaustion. Peeing standing because there was no room to sit.

One of the worst concentration Camps was located near Oswiecim in Poland and was called Auschwitz-Birkenau. There is museum in this place now where thousands of people come to see it.

When prisoners arrived, there was selection , where those who were unable to work- kids, older people, weak women, were going straight to Gas chambers. They of course didn’t realize they are going to die. They have been told they are going to take a shower.

Then working in very cold weather, without much to eat, treated very badly, beaten, killed. They have got a number tattooed on their arms, shaved bold. They have been working till death.

There were few people, who were able to escape from there.Only few, but still a big success.

Many children were accepted by UK, who tried to help Jewish People.

There were many Polish people who were hiding Jews, from good heart but as well for money sometimes. People who were hiding Jews were killed. It was especially dangerous, that when a Pole found out that someone is Jewish they were reporting it.

Because Nazis sometimes couldn’t recognize if someone was Polish or not. That’s why many of them changed names and were pretending they were Polish.

This book it’s an enormously painful history everyone should be aware of.

How people were killing other people in a name of race. What fucking race?

That’s a book which holds your breath, gives shivers and tears. And it’s told by survivors not historian. There is historical information though, to understand it better.

Dear People,

I am sending love to you, and I am expecting it back! It’s so fucking freaking cold, only 3 degrees of Celsius in Kraków. Am I the only one who is so freaking cold? I’ve been in my sheepskin coat( Top Shop, bought in a charity shop for only £20) at home for one hour after I came back from work/gym, watching a delightful movie with one of my favorite actresses Natalie Portman. Everyone knows her from a role of Matylda in Leon. And my mesmerizing passion to her as a person, actress and a woman grows and grows every time I watch a movie with her( soon i might expolode, is it called Oscar?). Today I watched Love and Other Impossible Pursuits which was so terribly touching. Was about how a woman goes through a relationship and life after a death of a three DAYS old child. She is incredible. Sometimes I wonder how actors know how to behave. I really doubt sometimes they have been through some much, they just know. Maybe it’s an instinct or just a passion for what they do, or both.

I love travelling, probably like most of us young people, haha. Sometimes,  I wonder how is it in other part of a globe. Today for example I have checked Zanzibar, oh my God, those colors, beach, it looked just so amazing. I wanted to teleport-ate  at this moment and be there. Can you just imagine? What do you think about teleportation? I think it’s very possible and maybe our grandsons will be using it one day. But just imagine move in 2 minutes from working at the desk in a Jewish district Kazimierz to sunny Zanzibar. I am curious what’s the smell of the wind over there. Anyone knows?

What I would like to talk about with you today is a book, but I want you to be prepared, because it’s a book about part of  history witch happened actually few fat years ago, exactly in 1939. Yes, it;s about a second World War, specifying about Holocaust.

Before I will say anything I would like you readers to forgive me, for my very possible upcoming mistakes. I am Polish, I learned English in School and I was leaving in London for few years, but my grammar and vocabulary still play hoax on me, in that case I am glad to accept you pointing my mistakes out or if you can’t be bothered that’s fine with me as well. But my point is I am not English.

Dear People, I am very very sleepy and I will be happy to be with you another time, and tell you about this book, which really made me appreciate what I have.

How persuasive you have to be, and how your worlds need to be puzzled to make one person kill other? In a name of a country’s freedom? I won’t be ever able to understand that.

A book written by Lyn Smith is told by people who survived Holocaust. But what they have been through sounds like I would imagine something would be going on in Hell( if hell would be existed).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dear People,

It’s pretty cold in Kraków at the moment.  I put the electric heater on. I am wearing a red sweater bought in London Charity Shop called ‘Trade’ for £1. I found out later on that it’s 70% Merino wool and 30% Cashmere, cost around £100 ‘You must create’ clothing store. Pretty good,hugh?

I would like focus mostly on art on this blog. Share with you books, movies, music which fascinates me.

Hope to keep in Touch.

Today I’ve wanted to watch good Tv series. I haven’t watched many in my life. Gossip Girl, Smallville- my favourite of all, Girls, Suits, Buffy The Vampire Slayer and one I laughed my ass off: ‘Desperate Housewives’. Which Tv series is your favourite?

I’ve heard that Black Mirror has been good. I kind of watched 3 firsts episodes ( skipping a lot) but I didn’t like it. The idea seemed interesting, but the actors play didn’t seem realistic, I couldn’t get into that.

So, I decided to watch something else. ‘The Big Bang Theory’. What do you think about that one guys? I watched few episodes with young Sheldon on youtube, he was so adorable I wanted to watch ‘The Big Bang Theory’, and I really liked it. It’s funny and short.

Today as well I’ve started to read a book by Joseph Conrad, it seems it will take me somewhere. I was at work, so I could only read 1,5 page. But it’s like a poem.

Who loves salsa? Mambo or Cuban salsa?  I’ve started to go to classes and I am already very passionate about it. I hope to share some pictures with you one day.

Time for me to go. Have a good night.
