Nici o dimineata fara o cafea buna!

roundword Leave a comment

Cum altfel iti poti incepe o dimineata perfecta daca nu cu o cafea buna. Ei bine pentru foarte multi dintre noi, cafeaua reprezinta un aspect foarte important in ceea ce priveste inceputul fiecarei zile. Deci cand vine vorba de cafea este bine ca pe langa cafeaua pe care o bem, sa tinem cont si de aparatul care urmeza sa ne faca ziua mai frumoasa si plina de energie.

Cafetiere/Espressor, este mai putin important cum prefera fiecare dintre noi sa isi inceapa dimineata, insa ce este important este ca fiecare dintre noi, sa o faca exact asa cum ii place. Daca vorbim despre achizitionarea unui noi aparat de cafea, trebuie sa tinem cont de ceea ce avem nevoie astfel incat sa nu cumparam nici mai mult, nici mai putin, in ambele cazuri iesind in pierdere.

Daca va doriti sa achizitionati o cafetiera sau un espressor bun, pe site-ul celor de la Dwyn.ro Read More

The most beautiful photos

roundword Leave a comment

I remember that in the summer of 2013 I heard that there are people who make nice pictures and sell them, earning money to live with. I always enjoyed taking pictures. I was going through a hard time and I had no money at all. I thought I could make good pictures to sell to those who needed them. I read on the internet that there are companies who buy photos that are representative of their business, that there are bloggers who need pictures to illustrate their articles, so my dream of earning money makes what I like growing bigger.

I started by making my accounts on all sorts of intermediary sites that offered people the opportunity to sell and buy photos. Of course, these sites were asking for a commission, but that was not a problem if I could sell a lot of beautiful photos. In my imagination, companies and bloggers would have fought to buy the pictures that I was making, or even offered extra money, only to be able to use them. I have to tell you that, in my imagination, I was already the best photographer in Europe, on Earth even. I already saw myself rich and famous because of my excellent pictures. Read More

The world is round and looks huge

The world is round and looks huge, but it’s actually so small. You do not know, you who walk in distant areas, when you can meet a man in your town. In my country, the country I loved so much once, there are fewer people. They all go where they see, for they are tired of poverty, of lies, of thievery, of bitter life. They are tired of working as slaves and at the end of the month they receive a salary that does not get them to pay bills and put food on the children’s table. They were tired of seeing those in the government enrich themselves on the work of their servants, then laughing shameless at the accusations brought to them.

I decided to leave my country at the other end of Europe. I met here people of all nationalities and all ages. Despite the cultural differences, I discovered the truth right away: we are all people with different qualities and flaws. We all have expectations of life and those around us, we all want to be as good as we all want a life as easy as possible. And I discovered one more thing: all the Scots are wondering about us and they’re taking off their imaginary hat before us because we have the courage to go into the big world even though many of us do not master the language spoken in the country of adoption . It is surprising that we can learn a foreign language Read More

How do I learn English well?

roundword Leave a comment

One day, many years ago, I decided to go to the world, to make a better life. I would have liked to close my eyes and put my finger on the map of the earth, to choose randomly, to take my life as an adventure, but at home I had moral obligations and I did not allow myself the luxury of taking sufficiently unthinking decisions.

I headed to Italy, a country that was then quite rich, with plenty of opportunities for strangers working. I only knew a few basic words, but I had confidence in myself, in people, in luck, and in my power to take life, to struggle with hardship and to win. I needed about three months to learn Italian, a language quite similar to Romanian. I could communicate easily with people, I could understand what I was asked to do, I could laugh at their jokes and even managed to make jokes.

Day by day I was getting better. I worked hard in Italy, I taught well the language of those warm, welcoming, loving people. I still remember Read More

3 Bedroom Flats and Houses to rent in Bathgate, West Lothian

3 Bedroom Flats and Houses to rent in Bathgate, West Lothian

We thought everything would be simple: we would come to Scotland, find a job, work honestly, respect the people and the laws of this country, and live better than living in our country. Unfortunately, reality shows us daily that life is never easy. We are looking for a house to rent, to be close to the workplace, to have time to rest and to do our chores. We can not find it. People told us we had chances to watch the gumtree. I do this a few times a day, but the offers there do not match our needs or, if they fit, the claims of homeowners (landlords) and especially agencies are far beyond what we can offer.

We need, as I wrote above, a house or a three-room apartment or several rooms in Bathgate. I also accept somewhere near Blackburn, Withburn etc. Tenders are quite low and claims are beyond our capabilities. I do not necessarily mean the money they ask for rent, although this money is sometimes too many, but especially because the real estate agency requires a permanent employment contract, for example. Where do we get that, if we work through an agency for the time being? This means that we only have two options: sleeping on the street or staying in those who are hosted now, and who are only rented apartments far away from our workplace. Read More

Amazonia Scotland’s Theme Park

roundword Leave a comment

It was 26 December and we are looking for a tourist destination in Scotland, a place with entertainment or any place to relax for a few hours. What we can visit in Scotland, we asked, and a friend told us that he had heard of Amazonia, a fun park where we can also enjoy an area where animals and plants representative of the Amazon River are gathered. We looked at the internet and Google told us that the amazonia scotland’s theme park was somewhere in Motherwell, two steps from Wishaw, the city where we live. We called a taxi (which took us 14 pounds) and arrived in Amazonia Park in minutes.

I would like to write a book

roundword Leave a comment

My life is spinning around the books. From them I extract my sap with which I nourish my soul. I would be able to give up all the people on earth (with a few exceptions, of course) and receive with open arms the idea of humanity that exists in books. Did you notice that in stories we always know which is the positive character and what is the negative character? Unfortunately, this does not happen in real life as well. Here you never know how honest and fair a man is, because we are all gray. None of us is just white or just black.

The people I believed disappointed me, making me afraid of too much privacy. I still rarely have the courage to hang on to people, to show them what I feel and what I want. Because people have the bad habit of using such information to hit you with your own weapons, to haul yourself on the ground using the weaknesses it reveals to you. And we all have weaknesses, weaknesses that can hardly be hidden, are we? And there are such things in books, but there we know for sure what the character would do for it and we despise it from the first moment.

A stranger in Scotland

roundword Leave a comment

No one has ever asked me how I feel in Scotland, almost three months since I moved here. I will tell you, because I want to help those who decide to move to a foreign country and they do not know what to expect. I also want to be able to easily remember over the years how I felt when I moved here.

My first day in Scotland was wonderful. I walked through the shops, bought me all sorts of things, I made hundreds of photos, as if it were days in the bag, as we say. I think my face was a delight to discover a special country, because everyone smiled and greets me. In the evening, when we returned to the apartment we live in, I told my husband:
-I do not go back to Romania!

I made cards on all the shops in the area, I made a bank account and I was getting my work permit NINo (If you do not have a National Insurance number, you have to apply. Once you are in the UK, you will have the right to work or study in the UK to get a National Insurance number.). I walked my dog through the town where I settled and taught him not to run after Read More

What is a blog and who can make a blog?

What is a blog?

I first heard the blog term six years ago and I immediately searched for details on the Internet, as if I was feeling that it would attract me as a magnet and give me an addictive pleasure. From Wikipedia I found out that “A blog (a truncation of the expression “weblog”)[1] is a discussion or informational website published on the World Wide Web consisting of discrete, often informal diary-style text entries (“posts”). Posts are typically displayed in reverse chronological order, so that the most recent post appears first, at the top of the web page. ”

I was lucky to find a personal writing blog with much excitement and that made me want to try to do something like that. I did not know anything about blogs except the ones written above. Blogspot is a beginner-friendly platform, so in less than two hours we had a blog. I needed an email address and a google account. Anyone possessing such a thing can make a blog. Read More

The reason why the houses in the UK are built in this way

roundword Leave a comment

A week ago I had a little domestic accident. Maybe I would not have given much importance to this little accident, but it does not let me work, sleep, and even climb the stairs of the apartment. I feel like I’m a bad robot. I had to take a break from work and stay at home, and here I found it hard to get out of bed or go to the kitchen on the ground floor.

All this pain made me wonder what was at the head of the architects who, all over the UK, built houses that have the kitchen on the ground floor and the upstairs bathroom. How can a man with disabilities or an elderly man handle himself in such a home? As long as you’re young, it’s a pleasure to climb and descend stairs. You strengthen your leg muscles, keep in shape, as you would say. But what do you do when old age or a health problem prevents you from going to the bathroom or kitchen without the help of others?

Did the architects also think about these difficult moments in human life? Has he suffered from the suffering that those left alone will endure, when they will struggle to warm up their tea or go to the toilet, climbing and descending all the steps of the house? Read More
