słowo dnia: plan i jego wszelkie derywaty

"to jakie masz plany po wakacjach?"

"gdzie planujesz jechać?"

"to jakie teraz plany :)?"

"a Ty jaki teraz wyjazd masz w planach?"


PLAN. PLANować. ZaPLANować.

Z wiekiem zanika moja zdolność planowania, a to na rzecz chaosu i spontanu. I ewentualnie mglistej idei na zmianę z zamiarem zrobienia czegoś. Zaczynam dostawać wysypki na sam dźwięk PLANuuuu... O ile jeszcze znajomymi kieruje ciekawość i żywe zainteresowanie moim losem (mówiąc górnolotnie), to mam wrażenie, że przedział wiekowy >30 jest zainteresowany wyłącznie odpowiedzią mieszczącą się w ramach normy społecznej. Praca, rodzina, i oczywiście samochód.

Jestem w wieku produkcyjnym, dopiero co skończyłam studia i pytanie o pracę staje się niemal nadrzędnym tematem konwersacji. I pytanie o PLANy oczywiście. Ledwo co przyjechałam do mojego ‚domu‘, obudziłam się następnego dnia, ze zlepionymi oczami wpełzłam rano do kuchni, nastawiłam wodę na čaj i już słyszę „to co teraz PLANujesz? Praca, nie?“.

Otóz mój PLAN to niePLANować.

Ale o dziwo dziś miałam jasny PLAN na dzień: obijactwo, filmowo-serialowe oglądactwo a nawet lekkie książkowe sprzątactwo. I jeszcze bałkańskie hardcore sluchactwo, co z przyjemnością czynię teraz.

Wrocław 30. sierpnia 2010. Jem soję i o zdrowie się nie boję. W końcu to kostka sojowa jak wołowa.

Word of the Day: plan and its derivatives

„so what are your plans after holiday?“

„where are you planning to go?“


PLAN. To PLAN. PLANning.

The older I am, the less I plan at the cost of chaos, spontaneity or vague idea of what am I going to do. I am nearly starting to have a rash when I hear PLAN word… Maybe it’s the fact I have just graduated from uni or my ‘productive’ age make other people question about my further PLANs. I understand that my friends are simply curious ‘what’s emi gonna make up this time?’, but I am afraid that people at the age of >30 just wanna get know whether I am gonna fulfill kind of social norms. Find good job, start a family and have a car. Oh, gosh!

So my PLAN is not to PLAN.

Surprisingly I had a nice PLAN for today: loafing about, catching up with movies and tv series, tiding up my books and listening to Balkan hardcore bands what I am enjoying right now.

    ach, obijactwo jest najlepszym tym co może być.. ;)

    plany, plany.. i ja ciągle ostatnio słyszę te słowa. 'Studia? gdzie teraz planujesz iść?' 'jak z pieniędzmi? co planujesz?'
    Uh. Męczące to..

    pozdrawiam ;)

Personal Landmarks: A Map of Trauma in London

Image
For me, London is defined by its street names, locations, and urban landmarks. Over the past 14 years, these elements (and more!) have left very distinctive mark on me. My London, first and foremost, is the one I came to know as a courier. I memorised all the addresses—Soho’s townhouses, the glass and steel skyscrapers in the City, and the many other places I delivered to. That was pre-smart phone era, so the famous A to Z map became my best friend for three years. This experience formed the foundational layer of my "London skin". Later, as I became an operations controller, these addresses took on a more digital form. They became combinations of postcodes (EC2M or EC2N—who can tell the difference? Well, I can, as I’ve become a bit of a postcode geek!), each just another place to send a delivery. Then there’s another layer—my social life in London, full of moments, encounters, people, and unexpected events scattered throughout the city. After 14 years, this collection of expe...

ADO starfish

ADO – the name of a bus service in Mexico Starfish –  a 5-armed sea creature that everyone loves I absolutely dislike traveling at night. While it may seem like a cost-effective option and works for some, I simply cannot sleep on trains, buses, or planes unless I can stretch my legs in semi-bed position. Traveling at night in Vietnam, however, had its perks.                     If only Mexican night buses offered the same comfort...                            Currently exploring southern Mexico, I knew the time would come for a long-distance night bus. That moment arrived with my journey from San Cristóbal de las Casas to Oaxaca (pronounced 'Wahaca'), a “lovely” 12.5-hour ride. I even took sleeping pills in an attempt to catch some sleep during the trip. The bus was dark, the seats were comfortable, and it was only half full, allowing me to spread out across two r...

Three weeks into my Panchakarma retreat

Image
I am currently three weeks into my Panchakarma retreat. It feels like I have entered level four of a captivating video game. The anticipation (or dread) of the impending final stage of my detox journey,   known as the infamous ‘vasti’-(often referred to as “the mother of all panchakarma procedures”), looms overhead. Last week, I underwent the ‘nasya’ treatment, that is cleanse of your nasal passages and detoxification of the head and neck. This procedure came with a challenging condition : no hair washing allowed. For a full seven days, my hair remained unwashed, gradually becoming so greasy that catching a glimpse of it in the mirror turned into a test of endurance! Fortunately, the ‘nasya’ experience had a silver lining, as it was coupled with herbal steam bath and ‘kizhi’ treatment—a pounding massage with heated herbal pouches infused with medicinal oils. These fragrant sachets worked their magic on my body, providing a perfect blend of invigoration and relaxation. ‘Kizhi’...
