Sweet like cinnamon.

-You make me happy-
-''So''- we use that word a lot, don't we?- he asked.
- Sure- I said- I use it often myself.
- So ''dus''?
- Yep.

The sun was shining, birds were singing and hint of prosecco just started to give me a nice feeling on my tongue. It was warm but not warm enough to uncover my birdy from my back.
The tension was growing among the green grass and metro train running over our heads. So many colours, sounds and smells.
But just for one moment everything went still.

He was talking dutch and I was replying in polish, and you know what?
It was only a game for fun but some things don't need translation.
Smile, sparkling eyes and laughter.
Sure it sounds like a cliché, but think about it, that's true.

Happiness doesn't require explanation- because it's an obvious, pure, great emotion.
You see someone who's happy and it just makes you sick, because ''how the hell anyone can be that optimistic''?
But you've just noticed! That person is happy, no wonder! Either you like it or not.
Either it makes you wanna throw up or gives you a smile on your face, you can't deny it, you see someone's smile- and you don't need any translation for it.
That's something above and beyond languages.

And it was still, peaceful, fulfilling.
Oblivion. Distraction.

- So if I'm the Breakfast Queen- I said- it makes you the Breakfast King.
Royal Breakfast, every weekend, come and taste it!

P.S. 616 guests in a 254 room hotel, how is THAT possible? Mathematics- level PRO.

I think I am reaching a whole new level of understanding what relationship   is about. Or let me put it in another way: how to deal with a relationship of two people who are so similar to each other that when they confront a difference between them- they get a problem. It is a sort of collision which hits you like a train.. but it doesn’t hurt. It’s more like a biblical revelation, your eyes open to something that you didn’t notice before. It may not be as easy as you were thinking but it’s certainly worth the lesson. People make a mistake, they find someone who is very special and they think ‘’that’s it’’. Well, that’s what I also thought at first. I met someone who matches my idea of a man, the vision of a great partner. And all I was thinking about was how lucky I am, how the world should be jealous and that I have to hold on to that person no matter what, because ‘’that’s it’’. Uhm.. no no no. That doesn’t work exactly that way. When I think that way- I don’t enjoy. I ...

Once upon a time..

There was this girl who decided she is completely done with working only to bring money home, while she literally couldn't stand her working environment anymore. She quit her job and began the search for a new one. It took her a lot of nerves to find anything. Sure, she had some offers men said she can't refuse. But she did refuse them because she is not just a pretty face to 'keep her image' to convince others she's good. She could be counting stocks in China now, flying from country to country because she closed a lot of deals, but no, it just didn't seem real in the end, there had to be a catch. She didn't find one in what she was offered in one restaurant. She found it a warm, cozy place with lovely people and by the way- serving her favorite kind of food. What could go wrong? Sure she was nervous for her first day but she was assured she'll get a training so no worries. Recently she started to work on her character as well. She decided to complain...

Love- hate relationship, pt. I

From time to time, when meeting new people I am being repeatedly asked the same two questions. Question #1: ' Do you miss Poland ?' Question #2: ' So, do you like it here?' My natural reaction to both of the above stated questions is rolling my eyes, smiling politely and nodding: I never want to get into the details of probable answers because if I would, it wouldn't be a small talk anymore. I don't do small talk and if I do I am very awkward at it. I avoid it at all possible costs yet still, sometimes it finds me and bites me in the ass. Given the opportunity to speak (yes, I gave it to myself with the very first moment I created this highly popular blog) I have decided to explain a little about those question you love to ask the expats so much. Here we go! Do I miss Poland ? I had a very good reason to leave but now I am finding more and more reasons not to ever go back. Sure, I wish I could see my brother and my friend...
