just your average daydreamer

Everybody has their own favorite type of comfort movie (unless somebody doesn't watch movies at all but that's a whole another case). A comfort movie is your go-to one when you've had a horrible day, you're totally exhausted and the only thing you want to do is to hop under a warm blanket with a bowl of butter cookies (or peanuts in the "fit" version) in one hand and a glass of hot chocolate in the other, and just relax. You don't want to challenge yourself intellectually or in any other way so complicated psychological dramas or anything directed by Andrzej Wajda are out of the question.  Some people like to relax watching a horror movie - I'm not judging but I will never understand that. Others prefer a romantic comedy to cheer them up. As for me, my favorite type of comfort movie is a good, solid costume drama. Preferably based on a Jane Austen novel. I think, what I most love about these films is that they allow me to escape the reality and fo

So, in today's post I'm gonna brag a little bit. It's just a fair warning from me so that you won't be unpleasently surprised later. But in my opinion, if you achieved something that you consider a big deal, something you'd been dreaming of for a long time, there's no reason not to brag about it. But let's get to the point, shall we? I just love the mountains. Breathtaking views, unpredictable weather, fresh air, the abundance of wildlife and the feeling of being closer to the sun. I even love being out of breath while climbing because then the first breath you take after finally reaching the top cannot be compared to anything else. When it comes to picking the place to go to for summer vacation, my first choice are always the Tatras. I don't care how many times I've been there already. I can't imagine not going there at least once a year. Apart from the beautiful nature you encounter in this region, I'm also very fond of the culture of t

One of my unpopular opinions: fall is the best season ever! I know it's hard to believe but every year I just can't wait for the summer to finally end. I truly hate the hot weather when I'm sweating even if I'm staying indoors and trying not to move at all. It's obviously nice to play in the pool outside or drink cold smoothies during hot summer days, but for me summer could last for a week or two and that would be just enough. But now I survived another summer and I'm finally free to enjoy all the wonderful things I love about the fall! The sun is perfect: not as insanely hot as during the summer but still gives a lot of warmth and not only light as it does in the winter. Also the solar arc is lower in the sky and the sun rays shine through the colourful leaves at the perfect angle. The leaves seem to be all kinds of precious gems and jewels: ambers, rubies and emeralds. Another thing I love about the fall is the variety of fruit and vegetables that you can

I'm not gonna lie to myself and think that anyone (but my English teacher) will read this blog, but anyway I thought it would be nice to introduce myself a little bit in the first post. And what's a better way to do it than answering the questions included in the Proust Questionnaire! For those of you who have no idea what the heck is that misterious "Proust Questionnaire" just a quick explanation. It's basically a list of several, deeply personal questions. The questionnaire is told to be created by the famous French 20th century writer, Marcel Proust. At the time it was a sort of social game played in the european drawing rooms. There are several different versions ot the questionnaire. Here's one of them filled in by me. Without further ado let's get to it! 1. The principal aspect of my personality.  For me it's perverseness. I'm not very proud of it but sometimes it turns out to be useful. 2. The qualities that I desire in a man. Responsib
