Lalalala Aga's song

Searching YouTube I ended up watching Sesame Street. I loved it when I was a kid. I even had Bert and Ernie mascotes, but my favourite character was Cookie Monster! Isn't he hilarious?





These videos brought a HUGE smile on my face:) Did you watch Sesame Street in your childhood? Who was your favourite character?

Lassi a la Saag and the Independence Day

As it's free of work day I had plenty of time to stir spinach so I decided to make a spinach yogurt soup - Lassi a la Saag from Bursts of Bubbles recipe. It's the first Pakistani dish I have ever tried. I'm afraid it's not thick enough. Oh well, I'll do better next time :S But it'a real feast for such a spinach lover as I am.

And it's a free day because it's our Independence Day today. It's an anniversary of Poland getting back it's independence after 123 years of partitions in 1918. We celebrate it rather calmly, without fireworks. All that happens are some military parades and people hang flags in front of their houses. And I make a soup ;)

Zorba the Greek

“Zorba the Greek” is a beautiful story about friendship between young, educated man who in his life follows the voice of reason and an older, simple man – Zorba, who lives the moment.

There is a nice fragment in a book, where Zorba sends a letter to his friend:

“I discovered a beautiful green stone. Come immediately”

Young man wants to go with all his heart but due to the bad situation in his country and all the problems around, he decides to stay. In the next letter from Zorba there is a message:

“Not trying to offend you, boss, but you’re a scribbler. You could too, poor man, for once in your life see a beautiful green stone, but you didn’t.”

I feel I am such a scribbler too. My common sense stops me from following my heart too often. Because what if it won’t work out, what if I’ll lose what I already have, what if something bad happens to me, what if, what if, what if…

Let it rain

Since the weather outside is really depressive, cloudy and rainy (what to expect of November huh?), here’s a little song to brighten such a day.

Have a nice day!

Postcard walls

Postcards are a big part of the penpalling world. I’ve got many wonderful postcards from my lovely penpals and I wanted to expose them in my room. I was planning to buy a cork board for that purpose, but I always forgot about it when at shopping mall, plus I have slanting walls in my room, so I’m not sure if such a board would fit. Finally, after checking if a scotch tape won’t destroy the postcards, I sticked them to the walls.

Wall nr 1, by the desk

Wall nr 2, over the bed

I know it’s not a big collection, but each one means a lot to me because they’re all from my friends who thought of me when sending them. Where do you keep your postcards?
