As usual we had a quick conversation with my workmates this morning. First thing Mike told us today was today is National Orgasm Day ... he is not going to celebrate :) hee hee hee what a pity :) who cares anyway

The weather is miserable and horribly wet

Looks like tomorrow is going to be much better and I look forward to that :)

I had also a short chat in the office kitchen with few of my colleagues regarding pregnancy and I feel overwhelmed by this subject. Most of my female workmates have kids so they love to chat about them ... and about pregnancy :( not my cup of tea. I have never been pregnent so  have no experience and no idea how it is to be pregnant so have actually nothing to say.

Things you can ask pregnant woman are as follows:

How are you? - classic one :)
When are you due? - kiedy bedziesz rodzic?
When is your baby due? - jak powyzej
You look great - wiadomo kazda kobieta lubi to uslyszec :)
Your bump is so big :) wiele kobiet tak mowi wiec pewnie to cos pozytywnego
Is it a boy or a girl?
Do you have a name yet?

W zasadzie mozna zapytac o wszystko, az po kolor scian w pokoiku dla dziecka :)

I hope I won't have to talk about pregnancy again today ... it's annoying but most of ladies in my offiice is pregnant :(

Have a nice day guys

PS. Have you ever tride Dolce Gusto coffee? I just bought capsules ans I am going to give it a go after lunch :)

Tuesday isn’t so bad…It’s a sign that I’ve somehow survived Monday.

Hello everyone.

I think I have never said anything about me, where I live, what I do, how I learn english, anything about people I deal with, work with, spend time with ... perhaps I am not a big sharer however I would like to say something about my workmates and how I learn english from them.

My workmates are very chatty and they spend most of their time at having conversations with litterally everybody ... so I am lucky I can learn a lot from them.

It wasn't always easy as their acents is very unclear and they speak extremly fast. At the beggining I was devastated because I couldn't understand a word, then I could barely understand and now I am at the stage of understanding most of what they say however I still have issues.

Mike and Lee are the nicest english people I have ever come across :) I like them and I like to listen to them. They are friends and they seem to be made for each other, they understand themselves perfectly and they always have something to say ... interesting stuff not boring gossips about other empoyees ... basically I like spending time with them.

Mike has come back from holiday and I asked him how it was and what was the weather like ... He went by the sea and spent 4 days over there and had lovely time with his wife (she can't cook and he always complains about that) and their 6 year-old son Cam :) The weather was lovely and they had amazing time ... this is what he told me today. Now he's very busy working and catching up on emails.

Lee is also very busy ... so they don't talk much today ... the weather has gone bad, it's raining and it's cold so everybody at work is complaining about that ... me too

I hate when it rains :(

Lee taught me new expresion today : keep me in the look ... which means keep me informed/posted/ up to date.

I've decided that I will keep asking him about english expressions and words ... he is like a treasure that I 've found that can help me to learn English

I will keep you in the loop

Thanks for reading

How to know what you really want to do in your life???

1. Be conscious of your own needs:

Assign at least 10 minutes daily to just about what you really want to do in life. Make notes if you want. Jot down actions and events throughout the day that make you feel really joyous.

Assign -(tu) przeznacz
make notes - rob notatki, notuj
jot down - zanotowac, zapisac
make you feel - sprawia ze czujesz sie
joyous <dzojes> - radosny, uradowany

2. Stop feeling guilty about thinking of yourself:

Trying to be happy, trying to think about your own things, doesn't make you selfish.

3. Let people around you know what you are trying to achieve

They will actively get involved and will also come up with new and innovative suggestions.

come up with - wymyslic ... glownie odnosi sie do nowych pomyslow, innowacji, idei

4 Provide yourself positive stimulus

Your state of mind controls your destiny. The bad thing and the good one is your mind gives you what you give it. We can control our thinking. Read books on the lifes of people who pursued their own goals and succeeded, watch related movies, join forums and follow blogs. Constantly provide your brain the right stimulus in order to make sure you don't revert to your previous state of being.

state of mind - stan umyslu
thinking - myslenie
pursue - gonic, podazac, isc obranym sladem, dazyc do celu
stimulus <stimjules> bodziec, zachete, impuls
revert - wracac do poprzedniego stanu, celu, drogi
state of being - stan bycia

Hope you like this text it's so positive

A task a day keeps the clutter away!!! Goodbye clutter!

No more putting things off / no more postponing!!!

put off / postpone - odkladac na pozniej

to play catch-up - nadrabiac zaleglosci

Learn from others mistakes. You don't have to learn things the hard way: there are plenty of people out there who have experienced the trials and errors for you.

Maximize every resource, as well as every minute of the day: fitting in everything from fashion to family to finances to fitness.

fit in - wpasowywac

Take a minimalistic approach to such things as decor, fashion, entertainment and travel - it's greener and cheaper too.

minimalistic approach - minimalistyczne podejscie

greener - ekologiczne

Be proactive not reactive in life. Keep up with technology (keep up - badz na biezaco)

Carry a sense of urgency in your day.

Avoid vampires, freinds, family or other individuals who are jealous, seek to harm you, or are just plain negative should be avoided.

Embrace "the sunshine committee" freinds, family or other individuals who are positive and full of sunshine

embrace - objac

Run your life like a business, your life is a corporation and you are the CEO. - prowadz swoje zycie jak biznes, twoje zycie jest jak korporacja a ty jestes jej zarzadca.

Thanks for reading. Have a nice week. Loads of kisses and hugs.

Let's get this done!!!

Let's get organized!!!

I believe that the key to success is organisation. Earlier in my carrier I felt that organisation would kill my creativity. Whereas now I feel the opposite!!! Discipline is the concrete that allows you to be creative!!!!

Are you on Team Order or Team Chaos?

Let's get to work!!!

Let's get this done!!!

In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity - Albert Einstein

Let's get cracking

Let's get rolling

Ready to roll? - ready to start doing sth

cdn....

SWOMPT - Subject - Verb - Object - Manner - Place - Time

Hello everyone :)))

After long break I am back on track and ready to learn English even harder then before!!!

SWOMPT - odnosi sie do miejsca okolicznikow w zdaniu w jezyku angielskim :)

Subject czyli podmiot wystepuje w wiekszosci przypadkow na poczatku zdania, albo mysli

Verb czyli orzeczenie (czasownik) wystepuje po podmiocie i do niego sie odnosi, w jezyku polskim jest to troche bardziej skomplikowane bo mamy koncowki fleksyjne, w jezyku angielskim trzeba byc straight forward

Object - dopelnienie lub przydawka

Manner - okolicznik sposobu ktory odpowiada na pytania jak? w jaki sposob? np: wolno, szybko, z latwoscia, bez wiekszych problemow itp

Place - okolicznik miejsca np: obok mojego domu, w Warszawie, w gorach, na boisku

Time - okolicznik czasu np: dzisiaj, za rok, teraz, w 1985, w maju itp

Przykladowe zdanie w poprawnej formie:

Andy played football next to his house yesterday.

Warto o tej zasadzie pamietac aby byc dobrze zrozumianym. Jezyk angielski bardzo rozni sie od naszego jezyka dlategotez nalezy uwazac na szyk zdania :) Na pewno jeszcze napisze na ten temat!!!

Have a lovely day guys :)))
