MY SECOND BIRTHDAY ABROAD

14th of February is my birthday and I am celebrating it now while updating my blog today. This has been my second birthday abroad, the first one was in Thailand and in Europe. As usual, I didn't celebrate it that traditionally just as the other people would do like preparing a lot like a feast. I thought of going to Warsaw with my housemates, shops a little here and there, dine in style as a gift of sort for myself. I bought sweater, two tee shirts. I ordered food in a Japanese resto and feast myself.
When I came home, my friend and I went to a bargain or thrifty stores checking what we could see and buy. As part of my guilty pleasure, I was tempted to buy two winter bonnets, sweater for spring and a winter socks without checking my budget at all. Right after, we went to an Egyptian diner to buy Kebab for lunch. That's how simple my birthday is, I don't indulge much on something that worries me what to prepare and inviting people to come.
I am a kind of person who's lazy to cook a bundles of food, preparing in the kitchen and washing an endless dishes. While checking my FaceBook, I was catching a lot of greetings and wishes from very close to not so close and even to an acquaintances. My fingers were so tired of typing and answering all the chat with friends who just remembered me on my birthday. With that, I am so much filled with joy though I am far from family, and friends, yet, the warm wishes keeps me at home to a cold and far country.
Most of all, I thank God for the countless blessings that I have been receiving each day specially on this special day of my life..thank you so much Lord.

WARSAW - POLAND'S CAPITAL CITY

I haven't updated my blog for weeks because we had just moved out to a new house just as we needed a big space and a room for me and for the new teacher. We used to stay in a nice warm flat but its too small for us 4 teachers so we needed a bigger place to live. In other words, we had disconnected for more than two weeks. To bring my blog up to date so as my Twitter & Facebook were moved aside for the mean time.
However, I tried to sneak-out using school's internet to check my FB which is eventually a big No-No during classes time.
My staying here in Poland is a joyous one, if I'd exclaim it literally. Who wouldn't be happy working and traveling Europe at the same time?
Since I am just 30 minutes away from the capital city, attacking the city and exploring around would be easier for me. Down are the pictures that I had in the center of Warsaw, and partly in the famous Old City a most visited area.
I won't talk more and more doing the blah blah or giving infos just as I am new to the place but will surely post it here in the near future.
For the time being just feast your eyes of the pictures that I have...
