My atheism

by cevoila @ 2008-04-29 – 11:31:57

I grow in common katholic family.
My parents are very passionate in this but for me it was always show without essence.
Once upon a time I met my future husband whose parents are Jehova's Witnesses.
I started thinking about that everything and I was thinking and thinking and I found that actually I don't believe and I decided to be an atheist..
It wasn't so shocking for my parents as fact that I'm not going to get married in the church (you see -just form) but they couldn't change it.
It was 11 years ago and I still live without religion and I'm very happy. But I'm not kind an anarchist.
I believe that we should have an ethic in our live, I believe that we cannot hurt anyone.

It's not easy to be an atheist in catholic country so..

Polish forces at next election

by cevoila @ 2008-04-29 – 10:04:39

I've read few weeks ago that Polish people in UK are strong group who will help conservatists to win next election.
I'm not so sure about that becouse THAT electorat is above 60 years old and mostly stayed at Poland.
So don't worry or as you wish start worry.

Diverses

My Carpe diem
Can you do something separately?
Jog or read without music, cook without television, watch movies without eating (bloody popcorn), work without chatting in the net, make love without... ok, this is better when it's not separately..
Is it something wrong with the world or is it just my problem?
We (or maybe just me) try to save some time and do all in all. I'm just writing and watching David Fincher's 'Se7en'.
So I cannot concentrate, I feel confused practising yoga and definitevely I'm not able to find my Zen.

Local acquaintances
About two months ago I joined to the ESOL group, Entry 3B.
Today we were talking about our opportunities to speak English.
I'm in quite good situation becouse I've got English speaking neighbours (2 French & 1 Italian upstairs, Jews in the nextdoors) but the others have got problem with this becouse they rotate middle their countrymen and they doesn't know any Englishmen (The Amishes use to say like that..don't they?)
Ye me to, I don't know any.. I was talking about that with my lovely Italian, Miss D. and her Spanish friend.
The last one has rational explanation, why we don't know English people in London.
Rational and simple.
She remarked that in her country she had her group of friend, very near but closed to the others.
And she added that she didn't knew any immigrants until she came to UK. I agree but there are exceptions.
Miss D. for egzample hasn't got any problems with finding friend everywhere and in everybody.

A propos or like you wish by the way Miss D.
I hate my sister-in-law, Aneta, ok almost hate, I'm just on the border. She came to me with her husband once and we mentioned that we have very friendly Italian neighbour upstairs.
Half our later Miss D. came to us with her friend from movie study who was looking for living room like ours to shoot a short movie.
Aneta quickly disapeared, like usually, becouse she's strongly afraid to speak English.
So we were talking in English about everything and nothing, but I wasn't feel comfortable with that and I went to Aneta to see how is she.
And you know what?
She started to talk about Italians, that they are arrogant, they throw Italians sentences to their talking becouse they think (!) that their language is the best, and generally they think (!) that they are the best etc. etc.
I tried to object but she rejected my arguments saying that she knows better becouse she was in Italy..
So I gave up becouse we cannot win with someone's inferiority complex.

My reason
We prepare to the test Cambridge at the ESOL.
We had some pretests before Eastern holidays and now hearing for the results.
Anyway, to prepare us to speaking test, one of our teachers, Mr Teacher, asked us why we came to live here.
He mentioned that it's horrible place for him.
But in my opinion it's not so bad especially becouse of my reason to live here.
Me and my husband, we're atheists and we couldn't stand living in katholic country where our constitutional law were/are broken all the time.
But it's a long story so be prepared... Now, you probably guested that I come from Poland

Almost forgot
There is a link to story about some Italian man:

Boycott

by cevoila @ 2008-04-23 – 08:35:17

I'm realy sorry but I won't boycott The Olympics in China.
My explanation is quite simple: I wasn't going to watch it.

But I would like to join to the protest. I've heard that China is calling for avoiding shopping at Carrefour but I don't have anyone in the neigbourhood and it's quarrelling with my attitude to supermarkets.

And I don't drink Coke and don't wear Addidas too.

Do you have some idea?
Maybe I'll stop buying Chinese products? But is it possible?

Perfect

It was just about the noon when I heard vigorous knocking to my window.
Is my ring out of order?
I asked myself when I tried to find my slippers.
I tried to open my main door but someone got ahead of me.
It was a nice and Italian or Spainish girl (definitely, I was drunk when I met her 1st time).
She's got keys, I noticed.
And she came to my upstairs neighbours.
Not to me.
Everything cleared up becouse knocking person was staying behind.
It was Ortodoxan Jewish women living few doors next.
Dressed with home-tunic neighbour praised my new corner rock garden and shamely sayed that she needs my help. She explained that becouse of Shabas she cannot turn any switches.
And she in a trouble becouse her parents are visiting her family.
In the other case she wouldn't disturb me.
I answered that if she'll show me what to do I'll help her with a pleasure.
She was lost in thoughts for a momenth and delicate answered:
-You must understand that I cannot tell you what to do. You.. must.. guess. I'm telling you that my children turned of the light in my lavatory and you..
-..and I'm going to turned it on.
-Perfect! And the temperature in my house is to high..
-..and I will make it lower? -I anwered with broken grammar.
-Yes! Perfect! -she was very glad and excited -Can we go?
-Yes, of course.. but my clothes -I finnaly :idea: noticed that I was wearing blouse and pyjamas trousers..
-Are... perfect! Perfect!
So, we went to her house.
-It's our nice neighbour -she threw in the midtime to her surprised husband.
She showed me a dark toilet which I changed.
-Perfect!-she said realy glad, then she took my to the living room and showed me air-cordition.
It was turned on 35C. I took it and started saying:
-30C, 25C.., 20C..
-Perfect!

Yes, London is perfect place to live.

PS. Strong-signed words are used first time by me.. but to be honest I'm not sure about all post
