Gardening

I was into plants, since I was probably 10. The school was going on vacation, and our teacher gave each of us a plant to take care of over summer. I was watering it and taking away old leafs. Quickly, I realised that this little green creature is very responsive to a good care. It…

Missed You!

I was off for a round 2 months. I was busy with work and life in general. I also felt tired and exhausted because of my poor vacation planning. In addition, I felt like I did not have much to write about. I just looked at the calendar realised that it passed 2 months, since…

All Packed

No, it has nothing to do with moving or traveling. It only concerns me, leaving my apartment in -12C. Damn. I have no clue, how I gonna survive this winter. Strangely, every next year is more and more difficult for me to cope with the cold, and this year is especially bad. I wish I…

Then, I moved to Finland, where is luckily a lot interested in Halloween. There are constantly some events devoted to Halloween celebration, and of course,…

Can’t stand the cold

The first snow has arrived, and I'm terrified. I absolutely cannot stand the cold. I am not new to it, but every year it's more and more difficult for me to cope with negative temperatures. I already have the warmest coat on me, and it's not even the coldest month yet. I immediately got a…

Men in Pink

There are 2 categories of straight men - one, who wears pink, and the other one who will never do it. Equally, there are 2 categories of women - those who like it and those who don't. I have a female friend, who totally adores men in pink. In her opinion, a man who wears…
