70 ways to improve your English [Apr. 13th, 2011|04:11 pm]
While I browsed the web  I found some interesting advices:

1. Start your own English language blog. - or to transform your habits and simply start writing in English all the time (actually I am thinking about it now, but still I can not decide either it would be a great idea or should I find an other place to do this.)
23 Have English radio on in the background while you are doing your housework - Why I didn't think about this before? That means bye, bye radio lOl
25. Say or think what you are doing in English as you do your daily tasks. - I am too used to do this in Spanish. If there will be no "going to Madrid" for me, then I should shut down Spanish and concentrate on the most important things
2. Write a news diary. - ( I can hope, that If I bloged about some serious stuff - news, films etc, then at least it would be interesting for people to read :D )
4. Listen to MP3s.- Does anybody has a freakish idea where to get audio books?
5. Listen to English music - Thanks to Elton!
7. Sing karaoke in English - O, i can imagine how my family would be thrilled by this possibility. I think that even I don't have so weird friends.

With this part of tip I would use someone advice - 

50.  Learn a famous speech or poem in English by heart. Although you may never hear or get the chance to say exactly that line, having one memorable example of an English grammatical form in your head can make it much easier to learn other examples of the same grammar as you hear them. It is also something you can practice over and over without being as boring as grammatical drills.

And this ones where just too good not to put them! :) :D

51.  Get tipsy (= a little drunk) before speaking English. This can not only improve your fluency while you are drinking, but can also improve your confidence in future days and weeks by showing you that you can communicate what you want to say.
60.  Find a foreign boyfriend or girlfriend. No tips on how to do this here, but everyone agrees that getting or even just looking for a date in English can be a great motivator to improve your language skills.

(Does anyone is informed when the next load of sailors are at Fontain Palace?

Ps. I have watched all available Glee series - what to do now with my life? Anyone nows a good British TV Serial?   ( Only i could guess - would be Top gear :D ) 
In all day I have done only that and printed English sheets to start learning. One step at time, baby.

I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul [Aug. 5th, 2010|07:16 pm]

.Our bad characteristics are not an excuse for our behaviour, no they are a reason for us to take actions towards our souls. If we see what we are alike it is not an explanation for what we have done, it is not even an unchangeable fact - It is simply a behaviour we have allowed to become permanent or simply quite occasional used.


We have allowed ourselves to become Masters.

When something is happening in our lives we have to choose our response reaction.

Fear, Joy, Anger ?

Something irritates me. I have to choose a response to it. I allow to be angry. We choose the same response reaction one more time, then we allow ourselves to be angry again and again until it is a basic response to this situation until we become The Masters of Anger, maybe Masters of pain or feeling guilt or Masters of noticing only ourselves. 


Is it my behaviour or have I only allowed myself to become a Master of exploding in my emotions towards my beloved ones.

Have I allowed myself to compare and judge my life and decisions too often and that way I became The Master of low self esteem?  And what about my relationships with others? I have allowed my mind to constantly set me up with idea that everyone is valuing me, my moves, the life I choose. With this constant (permanent) idea I have pushed my mind already unconsciously to believe that I have to please everyone I meet.

I am a master of asking approval from others. Master of easily letting go standards and dropping into relationships (Okey, this maybe totally isn't an example for me, but I have to admit that I need to work on standards and how to truly beautifully and meaningfully create relationships).

But this isn't the main idea.

The main idea is for you to ask yourself a simple question:


What are the emotions I have allowed myself to become a Master of .. ?

What are the emotions I want to master?


I am (or I will be) the Master of compassion,

Master of caring only how Jesus would evaluate my decisions.

Master of love ? - To others, to the closest ones, to ones that irritates me  (yes, because to the one that irritates you, to the ones you would like to reproach you need to give all your love, because obviously they are missing something.)


Maybe a master of counting on other people's emotions ?




What do you choose?

It is the new beginning -  to be aware what I want and what I will do. I have to admit that still it doesn't go easy for me BUT I will try. And It is the important thing - to try, try and try again. To snap out of randomness - the foggy life where you simply complete certain actions, recall emotions what you think you should feel in fixed position but you truly don't put much effort to think. Think what I want to do, to think why I react to happening things this way and maybe to try train my reactions my behaviour that affects other people.

The new beginning

sounds a little bit pompous
But I  honestly believe that this is the moment for us to change something, our at least (leastways) to put certain amount of effort to fix / to change ourselves.

  • I went running in morning
  • Stretched
  • Self-made a hair mask from eggs
  • Had a hair mask and a clay mask for face
  • Sunbathed, worked a little
  • Played guitar a little bit
(:

remember - starting to fix/change ourselves doesn't start only in our heads, It has to start in our actions, it is the only way we can see the results, it is the only way to proceed if we can see the results.
Start doing something.
Start noticing your emotions
Start to be aware what you want and let your actions start from there.



Ow yes, you can't imagine how I want to clean my soul in confession. :) Like a friend said to me: Why it's worth to worry (bother / trouble) about other less important (relevant / significant) things when you haven't put in order the things that really matters. ;)
