Two recent discoveries on Netflix

Image
Today, I want to share with you my impressions of the two brand new Netflix series (the more things I have to do, the better I organise myself and I have time even for series, it’s impressive, such a paradox). Anyway, the first series that I discovered and I am impressed by is “Tiny Pretty Things” .  It’s an American drama streaming television series (thank you, Wikipedia, for this comprehensive description, again) based on the book (which I didn’t know before watching). It premiered on Netflix on December 14 last year, so it is actually new. The series tells the story of group of young people, students of the prestigious Archer School of Ballet in Chicago . It all starts with an accident: a top student and the future of ballet, Cassie Shore, is pushed off the building by a hooded attacker during a party. But she survives. A new student is admitted to the school in her place, Neveah Stroyer (the main character of the whole series), and becomes a spark of rebellion and, at the ...

TOP 5 the most interesting discoveries about... aliens

Image
I must admit that I have been fascinated by universe for as long as I can remember: this unimaginable space, so many uncertainties, the multitude of... everything. I still cannot help but wonder how much we know about space, even though we are watching it from here, and, at the same time, how little we know... I can read about the universe endlessly (even if some things are difficult to understand for me). That’s why today I want to share some discoveries about UFO in 2020 .  1. To begin with, my favourite one, because it arouses controversy and fires the imagination: the global conspiracy . At the end of 2020, Haim Eshed (a Turkish professor) announced to the whole world the existence of a secret collaboration between his country (Israel) together with the United States and aliens which allegedly belong to the “Galactic Federation”. The 87-year-old scientist said he had nothing left to lose, so he would share this information. Are these just an old man’s fantasy and a way of dra...

And a happy... 2021

Image
Here we are. I don’t know exactly how, but we made it and here we are, already in 2021. Moreover, one week of this year has already passed. Is this just my impression, or has the pandemic dramatically accelerated the perception of time? A moment ago, I woke up and celebrated my birthday with closest friends. For the record, my birthday is on February.  I cannot get rid of the impression that some part of me got stuck in last March and hasn’t got out yet. First, the global lockdown and the uncertainty of tomorrow. Then wonderful holiday (only in Poland, mostly in Poznań, my hometown, but still wonderful). Some kind of return to normality, although there was still fear in the back of my head. Now, it’s still there.  Then the autumn, getting used to different reality on many levels. But you know what, I have gained something and I am even surprised myself, but I have found thankfulness, walks, depth of the relationships, slowdown, peace. After all, I feel richer now. I cannot los...

A perfect Christmas weekend DOES really exist

Image
I have to admit that I really love Christmas: its atmosphere, climate that can catch you in any moment since early December. I always have. For me, it’s time to rest, but not in a ordinary, normal way. To rest and reflect upon the most important things in our lives. Time to take stock of the year ending and plan a new one with hope. Time to enjoy every little moment of the day: a single ray of sunshine before sunset, a spicy tea or coffee, even Christmas shopping. And, last but not least, it’s time to let God – or any other good or faith – be born in our hearts. That’s why I’m so happy about last weekend. It was full of magic that had sneaked into my daily routine. And now I want to share here two things: first, a perfect movie for this pre-Christmas time, and second, photos of a hand-made Christmas wreath. “ The Princess Switch” and “The Princess Switch: Switched Again” I like to watch some sweet, romantic movie from time to time, even better when it’s about Christmas. For this reason...

Colourful books that heal

Image
Have you ever thought about how big the world is? How many people live and fight their little battles every day? How much is happening, every minute, every second of every day?  And why am I mentioning this now, a few days before Christmas? Because Regina Brett , an American author, journalist and inspirational speaker has written a number of books with colourful covers, which tell hundreds, if not thousands, of stories of people who inspire, fight against all odds and love everything and everyone in their lives. And, in my opinion, these books are perfect for a Christmas gift. “Books to inspire you to love yourself, your life and everyone in it.” Regina herself has gone through a lot in her life. Her experience may seem too dificult as for one person, but she never gave up. And now she shows her point of view, her lessons for life and histories of other people in her columns and books. I have to admit that when I read these books for the first time, I cried out of emotions many ti...

The greatest crime drama ever

Image
I just love suspenseful content: plot, chapter in a book, action in a series. The latter is strongly present in the American legal thriller television series “How to Get Away with Murder” . 6 seasons, 90 episodes of mystery, strong emotions and holding my breath. But let’s start from the beginning.  I started watching this series a long time ago. I have always been drawn to crime stories, whether in book, film or series form. That’s why I liked this one from the start. A story about a invincible law professor who selects five the most ambitious and promising students to help her in conducting court cases... and suddenly and unintentionally they are themselves entangled in a crime. Can we imagine a better story for a thriller and legal drama? https://www.newindianexpress.com/entertainment/english/2020/jan/09/how-to-get-away-with-murder-to-end-on-may-14-2087239.html https://www.abajournal.com/news/article/how_to_get_away_with_murder_takes_a_somewhat_realistic_look_at_law_schoo The le...

The best book for the autumn

Image
I’ve always loved to read. I’ve been a bookworm ever since I can remember. I love the emotions that a book can evoke. I love the fact that by reading I can move far, far away, without getting out of bed. I love unobvious things in books, specific atmosphere and, above all, a writing style which, although not overdrawn, goes right to my heart and soul.  Unfortunately, I have less time to read recently. But I would still like to write about one book... I read it a little more than a year ago. I mostly read it on the train when I was coming back from the mountains. That trip was absolutely unique and magical, but I didn’t expect the book I had with me to be like this, too.  I’m referring to the book “Dwunaste: Nie myśl, że uciekniesz” written by Filip Springer , Polish reporter and photojournalist. This book talks about the dark side of seemingly the happiest countries in the world. It’s about the Janteloven (the law of Jante) which is commonly known in Scandinavia. This concept ...
