Hi Guys, Indeed for the last half a year I have been really busy. Could not check private account at work and didn't have internet at home. So I am digging now through those 600 mails in my mailbox have read about 150 so far, but seeing my name and noticing that someone still remembers me here :-D made me feel so moved that I have decided to contribute here something. Something to talk about as some recent mails were saying. But as a backgroung just let me tell briefly what I was doing recently ;-) Last half a year I have had internship in Paris. I really enjoyed my time here. Still trying to enjoy my last days here and going for friend's birthday party (that reminds me that I have to buy a tart for him). And felt younger that for many years of my life before. Maybe that's the thing - when you are really young you wand to be older so much that sometimes you forget to enjoy your youth. I have fallen in love at first sight with this city of light. Unlike in London where I have spent 8 months the previuos year. London made very depressing impression on me at the first moment and more or less it remained. I am writing about that as I have just gone back to London for 3 days to visit a friend and I was more than happy to be back to Paris, thought I don't know French - this city is far more my home than London was. So HERE IS THE STORY :) My friend Iwona shares the room with a girl named Halina (both are Polish, there were tousands of Poles in London, and even more of them arrived after accession of Poland to European Union, so they say that London is second city with the biggest population of Poles, just after Warsaw). I was not too happy in London but many people really enjoy it and they claim that for sure they have far higher possibility of realizing their dreams there, than they would ever have in Poland. So it is in case of Halina. She came to London about two years ago. She used to work in some coffee shops and recently in some office jobs. Halina has really good voice, she still needs to work on it but if she does I am sure she can achieve a lot. When I was still there a year ago, she has found an announcement of pianist who was searching for vocalist. They have even recorded a CD together (thought probably in only one copy), now she is working wit anothe pianist, she has had some singing lessons and wants to go to music schol to study more and also learn to play the piano. When saying good bye to her yesterday I said "Hope I can expect to find your record in music stores in not very far future". I think she can get it if she really wants. So maybe one day I will be able to say that I have met personally that famous singer in early stages of her career :-) Best luck to her. Just one more thing about feeling old and young. I have a Spanish friend - Maria, she is older than my mother and far crazier than I have ever been and even expect to be (thought who knows :-)) She is really such a lively and always smiling person. Talking to her always make me laugh deep from my heart. She has always some funny, crazy stories and also simply makes everybody arround smile, just with her smile. Seems so easy when she does it :-) So I would like to be like her when I will be her age. Fingers crossed:-) Maybe I will have some more thoughts when I dig through the rest of mails. So don't be surprised if I start again the subject that was on a very long time ago.
