Happiness :)

Today I would lile to write about happiness which is very important in our lives :) It is the most beautiful of all feelings. I thinkt that happy people live longer because they don't worry and they are in good mood and look on the bright side of everything. A happy person is one who has satisfied all of your needs. But there are many people who are unhappy because they cannot be enthustiastic about small things. And because of this we shouldn't wait for unusual events which may never happen. I think that we should enjoy our everyday life. We have one life and we have to survive it in the best way. Everyone of us have different needs to be happy. For example men need a good car or stereo equipment to be happy while we, women, are happy when can buy new clothes, go to a meeting with a friend or go to the hairdresser. :) I think that people which are happy can cope with problems more easily. Many people think that to be happy they have to have money, an interesting job or be healthy. I think that it is impossible to have everything. I follow a wise of piece of advice: " Don't worry, be happy" and "Carpe diem!". :)

Reggae

Today I would like to write about music which is an important part of my life. Music accompanies everyone from the moment of the birth. Music is a way of life, I cannot immagine life without it. It is always with me. Music is for me a form of relaxion. I can listen to it when I want to relax. Music helps me to forget about everyday problems. I think that music is for me a space where I can find freedom, myself. It is also like a close friend, who is always next to me when I need it. :) I like reggae which is the most characteristic species of Jamaican music. The first track, where is the determination of the species, is a single of the group Toots & The Maytals Fri "Do the Reggay" released in 1968:

"To było jak sen. Któregoś poranka siedziałem, brzdąkając na swojej gitarze, i słowo się pojawiło, tak po prostu. Powiedziałem więc: Róbmy reggae!, i takie jest właśnie pochodzenie tego słowa."

— Frederick "Toots" Hibbert

This kind of music speaks of respect, love and everyday problems. These positive rhythms, unusual instruments and a specific climate can make that after a busy day I can unwind and relax. I think that everyone knows Bob Marley who is credited with popularizing reggae music worldwide. His song "No woman no cry" is known by everyone throughout the world.
No Woman no cry

I like also a song "Jak dobrze Cię widzieć" Tabu which reminds me a beautiful time spent in Toruń :) This song accompanied me and my friends at every party during the study. ;)
Jak dobrze Cię widzieć

My next favourite song is"Szukając szczęścia" Mesajah feat. Kamil Bednarek.
Szukając szczęścia

I also like Indios Bravos and song "Czas spełnienia" which is very important for me :)
Czas spełnienia

And what do you think about reggae? :)

My hobby

Today I would like to present my few picture because photography is my hobby. :)  I love taking pictures of beautiful scenery, different buildings, nature, trees, animals or people.I really like taking digital macro photos, those really close up ones. I love also to take photos of sunrise and sunset. These moments of the day are the most beautiful and spectacular :) Through the lens you can see so many more details and taking photos also provides a new way of seeing the world around you. My family admire my photos and because of this I make pictures to them, but nobody doesn't want to take photos of me. :D My favourite season for taking pictures is the summer. I think that this hobby is very creative, it refreshes the mind and it gives me a thrill to capture the visual beauty of the world around me. :) But unfortunately photography is quite expensive pastime because when you want to take good pictures you have to have also a good camera which is expensive. I have spent almost 3000 złoty per my camera Nikon which is the best for me. :)
Here are some of my photos:

Long-distance relationship

Today there are many long-distance relationships. This type of intimate relationship is when the partners are separated by a considerable distance. Today people work a lot also in other cities and countries. These people don't live together and have to overcome many kilometers to meet. Very often they cannot meet everyday or every week, but for example, once a month. It is very difficult for them. This kind of relationship has many disadvantages, because we cannot spend much time with our partner, but thanks to modern technology we can be in contact with our partner all the time. People in these relationships more appreciate the time spent together, do not argue, because it is for them a waste of time and we can easily cultivate our interests without awareness that we neglect partner. But on the other hand there are many disadvantages of long-distance relationships. When we don't spend much time with our partner we can not find out what he has habits, how he or she has the type of personality. But I think that the biggest vice is nostalgia which sometimes helps in a relationship, but very often is the cause of relationship breakdown. People can not deal with it and because of this they end their relationship. And what do you think about it? :)

False friends ;)

This morning I found on the web the site about false friends. False friends are pairs of words or phrases in two languages or dialects (or letters in two alphabets) that look or sound similar, but differ significantly in meaning.I have been interested in this issue sometime, because I wanted to write the Bachelor thesis in Italian about this topic. This topic is very interesting and I can give a few examples of false friends (false amici) of the italian language. 
fare colazione (in Italian) means do breakfast, no robić kolację
divano means sofa, no dywan
tappeto means carpet, no tapeta
stipendio means salary, no stypendium
odore means smell, scent, flavour, no odór
firma means signature, no firma
droga means drug, no droga
mai means never, no maj
cura means care, no kura
camera means room, no kamera
ubicazione means site, no ubikacja 
rana means frog, no rana
canapa means hemp, no kanapa
impresa means firm, enterprise, no impreza

I can continue to exchange examples, but is not the point. There are also many false friends in English.
And finally I intercede a link to the web with the false friends in English:

International Women's Day

International Women's Day is celebrated on March 8 every year. :) It was established in 1910 to commemorate the strike of 15,000 women who worked in a textile factory, and that 8 March 1908 in New York they demanded voting rights and improve working conditions. The factory owner closed women which were on strike in the factory premises with the intention of avoiding publicity. As a result of sudden fire were killed 129 women. 
The celebration of International Women's Day in Poland were eliminated in 1993, but the last few years is characterized by the back to the tradition of Women's Day.
Women's Day is now an official holiday, among others, in Albania, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Brazil, Moldova, Mongolia, Montenegro, Poland, Romania, Russia, Ukraine, Italy and Zambia.This day is a special day for all women and girls in which men are giving gifts to women. They most often buy them flowers because almost all women like them. I read a few months ago that this day in Romania is the equivalent of Mother's Day and children give small presents their mothers and grandmothers
And at the end I will add a link to my favorite song, which reminds me the most of the International Women's Day:
Być kobietą

A job for students

Hi! After a long break, I have to get back to student life. This post will be dedicated to work for students. A job is very important in our lives and everyone want to earn a lot of money and because of this students more and more often are looking for a work. They must look for a job in the local papers or magazines and also there are many Job Centres or employment organisations which help to find a good job, but many often their services are not free. I think that the most popular occupations is that of a shop assistant. Students also can find a job in a coffee shop, supermarket or fast-food restaurant. They can work as for example secretaries, bookkeepers, babysitters or clerks. I think that in today's world the most required qualities are experience, energy, talent and responsability. Sometimes the employers offer good salaries, but in most cases the salaries are not too high. Many students work part-time at weekends or after school. But also some young people willingly take care of the erderly or the handicapped. It is known that before starting a job, you have to take vocational courses which prepare people to perform specific jobs, such as a car mechanic. I know that the job search is not an easy thing, but you have to be patient!
