Going for pralines to Brussels ...


In order to start something new you do have to finish somehow what was before, so a short revision of the last couple months.
I am still in total debt and I just hope "excitedly expect" that very very soon I will see some light in this tunnel. (But I am using a program called Dark Room and in front of me there are only green letters I produce, so it might be challenging for the bright light to come through, anyway).
I have almost married a guy who was simply not for me. I am independent and I hate when people are not. It paralyzes me when somebody depends on me, says he cannot live without me and so on. You can imagine what did I hear from that guy. Well, I believed a lie, that everything will somehow work out and my tolerance level went up. Totally unreasonably. I was accepting things that were unacceptable before. Which all in all is called going down. Fortunately I still have friends, who summed up all good and bad points of the situation and let me think about it. The result was Mr Benoit is blocked and will not harass me anymore. Also all evidence of his poor existence were destroyed and quickly forgotten.
And here comes Sunny. Tomorrow I am visiting him in Brussels. Which will be quite an adventure. I wanted him to know all the bad stuff first, as I had no intention of getting into serious relationship with anyone. Well, he didn't give up. His attitude is always radiating and his smile never fades. On the other hand he is smarter than I am (even though he thinks differently). He challenges me and is a true inspiration. Living life with passion and giving love everywhere he goes.
So even if this is not "the one for now" I will spend a day with a man who is charming and independent enough to give me freedom I lacked recently.
Smokey!

Head Start



To give you such head start mentioned in the title I decided to tell you 10 things about me. As things being consice and witty are more memorable I hope you will enjoy it.

1. I am an only child with siblings :)
Originally my family had 5 members. But unfortunately I do not remember these times cause this was when I was born. The age difference between me and my oldest sister is 20 years, the other one 18. Figure that out. Now my beloved dad is gone, but my sisters got married and they have their children, so now there is 11 members."

2. I changed primary schools because my mum was demandng teacher and she put me into the educational place where she had taught years before. Awesome! Shit like hell. I was despised by the other students and loved by the teachers to some point.

3. My highschool years were boring and although I was singing in different places only the invention of STADO (FLOCK) awaken the poetic spirit in me and opened the gates of community life. That were the sweet times of fellowship based on friendships and carelessnes. Something like pres-school period, but only with little more awerness of the world.

4. I didn't want to study English, so I studied Electrotechnics for a year (only because the queue to the transport department was too long.) But the maths was not my thing in the long run so in the end I came back to English and studied 3 years in TTC which stands for Teacher Training College. Up to this day I like studying and getting to know new stuff.

5. During my higher education years in Radom, which incude studying both E. things I was also a part of Calvary Chapel although through the years it had many names. In the organization I was a helper, a kids Sunday School teacher, part of worship leading team, and interpreter in the end. I was reaised to be a godly woman of god, but somehow it didn't vibrate fully with me and after my dear friend left the church I also left. Suffice to say I do not keep in touch with most of them since now I am abomination to the lord, eventhough they have now idea how I live.

6. I moved to Warsaw, worked in Subway for sometime. Got through the cleansing from the old stuff and started teaching in corporations. Still from time to tiime helping my friend who became a manager of Subway. But after the fight with the unfair owner I was free from Subway.

7. In August 2008 I became a member of Couchsurfing and it became a HUGE part of my life. This network definitely has changed my experiencing Warsaw and also people who live here.
You can check my profile on www.couchsurfing.com/mburek

8. When in warsaw I am still doing my corporation teaching but I would like to do sth more mobile I am starting to make my first steps into other fields of geting income while still learning.

9. My great dream is to live in Spain, as I am addicted to sun and unfortunately my personality sleeps during entire winter I need it desperately!!! All in all if I was not able to adjust to living here for 25 years I do not see more sense in staying here longer.

10. I might just stop in CA, USA for sometime.....

Stay in tune ... more info soon..
