Julia's return

Michael's sushi

Helsinki harbor

The best cook ever :)

<3>

Hey,
it s been a long time since I wrote something here. so, there you go... ;)

Last few days I spent with Michael in Helsinki. I brought there my first big suitcase, with some spring cloathes. I miss them so much ;((( But anyhow, let's say that was a big organisation step for me. The weather was as I expexcted - quite freezing, comparing to Polish conditions. But it was sunny as well and I enjoyed it a lot. Unfortunatelly I didn't manage to catch Vilma, but we ll be able to make it soon, I hope (won't we?? :) ).
I ll probably move to Finland for a loger period in the very beginning of April, just after Easter. And then I ll fight for life or even rivaliser pour le titre de champion de cuisine:)(Michael is a great cook, I felt emabrassed when he made a supper)...
So, now I have a lot of boring things to do, before I leave. Pain in the ass. But - there comes a time to grow up, girl! Why won't you try at least, eh ? As you see, my inner voice tells me what to do and I obey it. Ive already found a person to live in my flat, during my absence. That s the first step to make it more serious and .... dramatic (oh no! somebody s slept in my bed! I can smell a stranger!)

See you in Helsinki guys:)

Helsinki time!!!!!!!

ok ok, am already here!
Vilma told me yesterday that my blog hasn't been brought to the fore for such a long time, I should be ashamed! "Shame on ya" - that is what she said:)
so I just leave this short note, to make u sure am still alive, after spending few amazing weeks in Helsinki. Michael has settled here for good.
Last weekend, thanks to Vilma, we had a great fun - finnish way of spending spare time:) It was faboulous. Concerning the fact Katja has come to Helsinki as well, I just can say - the world is such a small little shit, nobody could give me an excuse for not comming to see me either in Helsinki or in Warsaw.
More about my finnish adventure and some pics - comming soon!
cheers!

enough....!!!

it is so hot in here, I was not able to bring to the fore this blog. Ugh... Even now (it s almost 10 pm) we have 29 degrees. but last week I had some fun with friends (including Igor) on my country side. Sun-bathe, drinkin' cold beer, playin' stupid games... it was great! now am in Warsaw, catching up on some academic work, that I took for the summer. But it's going well so far. My tutor wants me and some other students to sub-edit an anthropological booklet, we are preparing other students' papers to final editing.
I really miss u all, especially now, during this vacation period!
Hugs!

party time! summer time!

For my family june is an anniversary month. We have lots of geminis! On the first place my gandma, my cousin and me (am actually waiting for it on Friday). So we decided to celebrate in a country side, where we have a small house, a kind of bungalow with a fire place and a big terrace and all that greenery and a forest just nearby. so we went there after my mountain expedition to enjoy the nature and all that special food u always eat outdoor (grilled meat, salads and home-made sweets!!! yummie!!). concerning that I have had to go on a diet (plankton plankton diet now). Sow now, for all geminis (Vilma, u r the ONE) :

HAPPY BIRTHDAY and ALL THE BEST FOR YOU!

Yesterday we came back from the Polish Mountains - Tatry. Although it was a bit freezing, not mentioning blizzards and heavy ice - sheet up there, we spent a great time. Actually it was like hollowing out into some snowy fairyland, however awhile strange, concerning avalanche warnings surrounding us:) Now I have to focus on my exam session, that s the way it is unfortunatelly...

MayDay!

2006-05-06T15:53:00.000-07:00

International Workers' Day (a name used interchangeably with May Day) is the commemoration of the Haymarket Riot of 1886 in Chicago, and a celebration of the social and economic achievements of the international labor movement. The 1 May date is used because in 1884 the Federation of Organized Trades and Labor Unions, inspired by labor's 1872 success in Canada, demanded an eight-hour workday in the United States to come in effect as of May 1, 1886. This resulted in a general strike and the riot in Chicago of 1886, but eventually also in the official sanction of the eight-hour workday. The May Day Riots of 1894 and May Day Riots of 1919 occurred subsequently. In 1889, the first congress of the Second International called for international demonstrations on the 1890 anniversary of the Chicago riot. These were so successful that May Day was formally recognized as an annual event at the International's second congress in 1891.

May Day has long been a focal point for demonstrations by various socialist, communist, and anarchist groups. In some circles, bonfires are lit in commemoration of the Haymarket Riot usually right as the first day of May begins.

In the 20th century, May Day received the official endorsement of the Soviet Union; celebrations in communist countries during the Cold War era often consisted of large military parades and shows of common people in support of the government.

So in Poland we had a celebration as well. At our University, after the last April weekend, we had all three days free. ( the 3dr May is an anniversary of a foundation of our constitution announcement) I went with my family and some friends to visit Poland:) ya, cause really I dont know my own country as I should... We spent a great time, moving from place to place, eating, drinking and so on... just waiting for the sun, as it was raining, as usual in Poland at this time.

Bruge

So we did it, me, Emi and Chloe managed to meet in Belgium. The time I spent, especially with Emi, as we met for all the weekend, was absolutely fantastic. On Friday, I came to Brussel and my aunt and uncle picked me up from the airport. We had had some sight seeing before Emilie came for me by train and we went together to Louvain la Neuve. We spent the evening at her father's place, celebrating 16th birthday of Olivia (Emi's sister). And of course Matieu - Emi's boyfriend - was there as well. On Saturday, we went together to Bruge and we hasd a great time. And arter that there was a party time:) Am really in a hurry now, so I promiss to write all the rest soon. Now I leave u some of the pics. Wait for more...!

Spring time!

On Friday, at a party, we pained eggs. Every year it lets me feel like an artistic soul :)

Hey guys!
so Easter is over, but it was a great time of sweet lazyness for me.... I loved it, spent it all with my family and friends. I really needed a break, as I was a bit off color lately. Now I can start feeling spring in my veins! I hope u ll feel it when u ll see pics that I attach. We painted eggs during a party on Friday, on Saturday me and my parents went to the Old Town to walk about a bit, and on Sunday we had a traditional Easter breakfast at our place (actually my parent's, but that will be always a "sweet home" for me). And "WET MONDAY", when we pour water at each other, was very social as well:) We organize a small meeting in my flat, to celebrate spring together. we finished today and slept till noon... well it was fantastic!
Hugs for u all!!!! miss you!!!!

2006-04-13T07:30:00.000-07:00

I went to a hairdresser again. and again I look totally different, they say! well, I just wanted to look amazing, as next week I go to Belgium to visit Emilie:) I am really excited!

My precious!

Igor's wives!

Hi and forehead!
ok then, I ll use this side to tell u all what s going on in here. We had a horrible weather disaster, now everything is getting better and better. Anyways it beggars description, it was a bit thick. Now spring time began and so - time of the season when the love runs high! We are tryin' to fix all, Igor is more efficient at that, I just try not to go daft. You should ask him personally! :) We are now almost finnishing our fourth year and soon we ll have to bell the cat and ultimatelly write our final work. As far as am concerned I suppose I ll just cut and run far far away! Am sick of being adult and I think I should find a BIG DADDY to take care of my matters, as am not able to do that any longer. ya!
am I a lunatic?
I publish here some pics from Igor's birthday party. it was fun, but I had to leave pretty early, as I had my seminar next day at 8! That was actually a month ago, but concerning the fact u had no news from us so far, I attach them, that u could see we are still alive and "happy together" :>

let s begin

2006-01-29T00:57:00.000-08:00

hey folks,
now I start my diary to keep your minds in touch! Of course Vilma was my motivation, probably because she s always double:) I have to admit, from the very beginning of my arrival here am totally lazy. Perhaps because of my spare time that I spend without you guys.
In order to forget my small sorrows I decided to change my life - decoration. So I spent all the money that I had on a new sofa, cause my old one was to small for the guests. Now I have three new places to sleep, which with my double bed make a great sleeping surface for drunken monkeys from Limerick. Keep in touch at least with your minds' eyes!
