The use of Blu-Tack

When I was a TTC student, I got to know about Blu-Tack. It is a versatile, reusable putty-like pressure-sensitive adhesive. The product I own is blue, but, as far as I know, many colours are now available. My methodology teacher advised us to use it to stick some pictures and postcards in the classrooms. I have never had a need to have it as I wasn’t working with groups of students, but this year I finally decided to buy it. I was so proud with my purchase that I had to show it to my husband. And then, being a very inventive man, he successfully used Blu-Tack in our flat. He called it Blu-TOUCH! :)) It really works, just look! :D

If you still don’t have Blu-Tack-Touch ;), don’t hesitate to buy it! As you can see, it can be used in many ways. It is good for everything! :D For some more information, look at the offical site of Blu-Tack company.

NEWs too ;)

After the wedding we have moved to our newly renovated flat. It has two rooms, one of which is joined with a kitchen, a bathroom and a one-feet balcony :D
To be honest, in the beginning it didn’t really look like a great place to live…

But we have soon organized ourselves and I could use my lovely red kitchen successfully :)
Also, we have found place for my piano, our new TV, Wojtek's computer, a nice big table and a comfortable sofa ;)
The best thing about living on your own is that it is only you and your husband who are to decide where to put a flower, a computer, a picture, what to eat, what to buy. We have enjoyed decorating our flat, buying new furniture and household equipment, even new clips ;)
And then, when Christmas came, it was fantastic to buy our first Christmas tree and decorate it together, the two of us. I was delighted to decorate the rooms with some candels and other Christmas gadgets ;) It is great to have your own place, especially when you know how much work you put into making it so cosy.


In addition to this, we didn’t have any problems with deciding who does what or who takes more shelves in the wardrobe – it was me, obviously :D I am fortunate to have an easy-going, helpful and hard-working husband who knows how to repair a computer and how to mop the floor! What is more, I am lucky to have fantastic parents-in-law… :) They like each other with my parents so Christmas dinner with them and our brothers went great. Happily, all my guests liked turkey and ginger bread I have prepared. I really feel good as wife! It was simply a good choice :)

For this new 2010 year I wish you to find your place in this hectic world! Your peace, love and happiness.

Have a blessed, joyful and delightful new 2010 year!

NEWs :)

I’ve decided to continue writing on this blog to practice my English and be in touch with those who read it :)
As you all probably know, I got married on 15th August 2009. It was the most wonderful day of my life!! It started at eight o'clocl when I went to my hairdresser and then to my beautician. Thanks to them, at 12 o’clock I looked great and the only thing I had to do was to dressed myself ;) Well, it’s not very easy if your dress has to be tied up at your back, so my mother had to help me:

When I was alone in the living room, waiting for Wojtek to arrive, the emotions came up... I’ ve realised what is going on, that it was the BIG DAY when I was getting married, when all my life was going to change…
I had to control myself and not to burst in crying in order not to ruin my make-up and to make a good impression on Wojtek when he came in. We were both very pleased to see each other finally!! :) I need to say that whole my family wanted to make this day as much special and memorable as they could. That’s their work when it comes to decorating our garden and the house.Me and Wojtek wanted our and our best men cars to look nice so we bought plates to stick to our cars:

The most moving moment of the day was the blessing of our parents as it was kind of farewall…

And then we were just happy that it is the day we were waiting for so long. Although the priest said that the bride woman was smiling all the time and the bride man was serious, we were both full of joy which is clearly visible in those photos!


So it happened, we were a married couple!! It was time to start the wedding party… :) We’ve began it with a traditional breaking glasses for the luck!

And, of course, with the first dance :) We were preparing it for months and were under a big pressure when we stood in the centre of a ballroom, waiting for the band to play the song. What is more, the song was a surprise for all our guest, including our parents and we weren’t sure if they would like it. What do you think of it?

We were dancing waltz and, happily, did it according to the plan :)

And then the party begun. We just had a good time, dancing together, kissing and calling ourselves: Wife and Husband :)

It really was OUR DAY, everything was organised as we wanted: decorations, choir, a singer, priests and altar boys, music band and food served. I wish all of you such a wonderful, memorable, full of joy and happiness wedding day!!

Goodbye!

I honestly can't believe it.
I've made it!
I graduated from the Teacher Training College!
I obtained B.A. degree in English!
I am a teacher!
I am satisfied and happy! :)


What to do next? My plans for the next three months:

• complete the renovation of my husband-to-be and my flat


• prepare myself to get married


• pass the exams for M.A. studies


• relax in Majorca :))

So, officially, TTC's teachers and students - thank you for those three years! Goodbye!

The end.

It was yesterday that I - miss Aniola (with 'the most innocent surname in the world' - cited after John Casale :)) - attended last classes at KJO.

I am really moved by the fact that three years of exhausting, stressful, demanding, but, all in all, enjoyable BA studies came to the end.

When I left the KJO building yesterday I was overcome with sadness and I will surely recall KJO with a feeling of nostalgia. But still, I am the kind of person who likes changes and new challenges and as I am an optimist I look forward to what is set ahead for my future.

Life goes on. Our time at KJO finished, hopefully. I guess it is time for us to say "Goodbye and good luck!".

Hope to be in touch with you! Dont' let the acquaintances out as we did with the dogs ;)

A must!

PAULO COELHO - the Brazilian artist. The remarkable author. The talented poet. He writes about simple things in a flowery language. The most obvious truths become magic when wrote by him.

I love his books because of hope they bring. Here is a quotation to prove my words:

Also, he talks about love showing it from different angles. The most significantly, he is not afraid of writing about God and His presence in our life.

I found out about his talent somewhere in the lower secondary school and then started buying his books. I've already read:

• THE ZAHIR - about the real love



• ELEVEN MINUTES - very bravely about the mysteries of physical love



• THE DEVIL AND MISS PRYM - about the fight between good and evil



• VERONIKA DECIDES TO DIE - about discovering the beauty of life



• THE FIFTH MOUNTAIN - about the faith in God's might



• BY THE RIVER PIEDRA I SAT DOWN AND WEPT - about finding the 'second half'



• THE ALCHEMIST - about the importance of following our dreams



• THE PILGRIMAGE - about the author's pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela

There are two others waiting on my shelf:

• THE WITCH OF PORTOBELLO



• LIKE THE FLOWING RIVER

Has anyone read them?

The books I own are in Polish as I wasn't confident with my English enough to take up a challenge of reading Coelho's works in my L2. I suppose my next purchase will be in English though ;)

If you are interested in Coelho's life take a look at his official site where you can find not only his splendid biography but also his blog, photo gallery and much more!

To close with, food for thought for all of us, I guess.

My website

In my IT classes I was asked to design a webpage. The choice of the topic was up to me, so I've decided to write a few words about Poznan Walking Pilgrimage to Czestochowa, which I've made two times.
So, if you are not familiar with it, or simply want to learn more about it, have a look at my website :)
