U O ME

Before parting from each other in the journey of life and turning of the day to dusk. When we have felt our breath and heard the beating of our heart one last time, after which you will be gone, you have to make a promise.

Whenever there arises a new sun in your life after me, and there will be the season of rain in these valleys and the snow on these mountains will melt, the buried legend of our love will spread among the people, you have to fulfill your promise.

After this night, when there will

a new challenge at each single try

What an amazing day when the hay is pressed in bales and wrapped in silage foils2347543941?profile=originalyes, It provides one with an ease. The fodder for 2 Horses for half a year is safe. On the picture you see our meadow that a bit about 2 acres and after all we harvested around 14 bales of around 200KG each.

But before we have achieved that, it provides me with belly aches for some time. There are so many insecurities. First you have to fertilize the green with either chemical fertilizer or bullocks. I prefer bullocks

May Episcia Be with You...

2347543712?profile=original

I confess I love Episcias! What the heck are those? Episcia is a variety of a trailing plant that is related to African violets. It is also called ‘flaming violets’ although it produces red, white or pink flowers. Don’t worry it will not burn you if you try to touch it. As a matter of fact, you will be amazed by its uniqueness when you include them in your plant collection. Its foliage is quite amusing as it looks like made of plastic. Yes personally, it is burning with beauty!

#Don'tJudgeABookByItsCover

You know when it comes to books I'm a hardcore advocate. Reading them, giving them to friends, family, kissing cousins, hell even random strangers. The point is these days it's really hard to find people reading $#!7. They're busy taking pictures of their new doggy door or the last molar they have removed. 

In France there's a bookstore that's onto something. The Librairie Mollat employees take pictures of themselves and do their best to match their actual photos with book covers. They share the

Feelings of a Mathematician:

How a mathematician may feel when fall in love:

O my multiple sweet heart!

Yesterday I was passing by your rectangular house in trigonometric lane. You were there with your cute circular face, conical nose, and spherical eyes, standing in your triangular garden. How geometrical it was felt.  My oblique heart was at its projectile with joy to see you standing at the door like a beauty set in a rectangular frame. Before seeing you my heart was a null, but when a vector of magnitude (reflection of lo

I am a passionate non- native English teacher from Poland. Teaching is a crucial part of my life. With that understanding, I am a lifelong learner.
I am applying a blended learning/ training and flipped classroom method.
The traditional physical classroom settings are not efficient enough for my lessons.
In my opinion, technology gives us countless new possibilities.
As I have already specified, I prefer blended learning, which means taking advantage of both traditional f2f techniques and opport

Why Ben, whyyyyyyyyy?!

Disclaimer: I do NOT own these pics.

Dictionaries define pop culture as ''culture based on the tastes of ordinary people rather than an educated elite.'' Ugh, seems like I'm delivering a eulogy.

Anyhoo, I stumbled across a guy incorporating pop culture into his works. ''My style is dark, humorous and full of imagination,'' says Ben Chen.  

P.S. MARY! If you're reading this post, brace yourself; some of these are brutal. They messed me up.

I'll start with my favorite:

NO TITLE

Changes to come and wash the old days away, 
Changes; like sun! Always the same!
Letting go people, letting go things,
Time is flying away as if it had wings. 


The sunset is cleaning my messy thoughts 
Somewhere there r new suns of new hopes 
New dreams 
New wishes
Old times are lost forever
I am not saying good bye Not now ... Not ever.

 

Timeless,

They say that promises are always broken

They say life is a big school

Never ever break a rule !
