CINEMA
THE CURIOUS CASE OF BENJAMIN BUTTON
Can you imagine that you live your life the other way round? At first as an old man and then as a child?
This way Benjamin Button (played by Brad Pitt) was born. He was born as eighty years old man. But he is younger from year to year. During own life he meets a girl Daisy (played by Cate Blanchett). Ben falls in love when he was fifty years old. He loves Daisy. Beautiful Daisy is thirty years old. So it seems that a couple could live together forever happily. Yes, they could, but this is not a typical story about love. How can she love man who becomes younger and she becomes older from year to year.
In my opinion this film will favourite by every age categories (by teenagers, adults and by older people), because love in this story is described as strange and interesting relationship between two so different people.
MUSIC
Katarína Knechtová : ZODIAK
After a band Peha breaks, Katka starts to create on her’s own. A result of her hard work is the first solo album “Zodiak”. This album is more various and more nature than albums when Katka sings in a band Peha. Bonus of the album is well-known song “Môj Bože”.
Beyoncé: I AM……SASHA FIERCE
A new album of Beyoncé is divided into two different albums. The first album is called I am, where Beyoncé is the frankest. According her own words this is she under all fame of showbusiness. She is sensitive and vulnerable. An opposite of the first album is the second album called Sasha Fierce. This album is a musical and lived ego of her. It is full of melodic songs which are written for self-confident girls.
JERSEY GIRL
DVD- Jersey girl is a dramatic comedy. The story tells about an honest and often amazing story of a man whose life was completely changed. Ollie Trinke (played by Ben Affleck) is a young and nice man who is very successful as a
One day his perfect life is stopped. His wife leaves him and their child. He becomes a single father, loses his job and moves back home to his father’s house in a
He sees no way out of this life and no way back to the life he lives before. But he adores his young daughter Gertie who loves their life in a
Ollie meets Maya (played by Liv Tyler). Maya is an independent and strong woman. She is an intelligent and sensitive woman. Maya tries to show Ollie the fantasy of what he wants is not necessarily what he needs. She feels safe around him, and she wants to help him. Next to the beautiful friend Maya, Ollie starts to feel love again.
In my view this film is a story about life of common people that can be so fantastic and easy when I am with my loved family and also life can be so hard when one of this people leaves. But I must be strong and live for my family that needs me.

“Beauty and the beast”
Pretty Frieda Pinto became favourite. Her exotic blue John Gallian dress assumed every media and certainly lot of men attention too. Inside out British actresses Tilda Swinton made a big mistake. Beige top made her much older and fair in face and black satin skirt seemed old- fashioned.

Chocolate
I don’t know, if I go around the world I will find a person who doesn’t like chocolate. It is delicacy not only for children, but also for adults. Although people reduce consumption because of overweight, disease or other reasons they often can’t resist it. On the other hand the chocolate has some advantages for example it contains a lot of vitamins and proteins. It is good remedy for our nerves and also brings us energy.
The word chocolate comes from the language Nahuatls, aboriginal population of central Mexico.
Types of chocolate:
- plain chocolate
- milky chocolate
- white chocolate
- chocolate with different flavours
- blebby chocolate
- chocolate without sugar
- stuffed chocolate…
Even though chocolate has lot of positives effects, but we shouldn’t eat it in a big amount. If we eat chocolate lashings it could lead to chocolate addiction.
It means that consumption chocolate is useful for our health only it isn’t drug for us.

It can seems that fights in NHL has no rules and it is only sign of agresivity. But that is false.
-one man against one man
-captains are untouchable
-goal-keeper can fight only against goal-keeper
-the fight starts when both of players cast away their gloves.
Who are the fighters?
Most of teams have generally one fighter (frequently called “bad men”) in their team. Their assignment is to protect best players prior to the injuries and fouls. It is unusual when they are good in productivity. They play mostly in “checking line”,in the 4.line.

. national day of mourning announced
Saturday, February 21, 2009, the day, this changed many lives. This day belongs to “black days” in history of the Slovak republic. In one of the worst traffic accidents in Slovakia’s history, a collision of a bus with a train near the village of Polomka, which is situated in central Slovakia, claimed 12 lives. When the bus was trying to cross a railway crossing without electronic warning system, the driver did not hear the comer train. The train hit the bus and pushed the vehicle on the railway track for about twenty meters. Passengers, majority of them were people in the middle age from Bánovce nad Bebravou, were carrying on the two-days trip to the ski resort Bučník. The bus driver, survived the crash with injuries and was taken to one of the nearby hospitals. The injured passengers were taken to hospitals in Banská Bystrica and Brezno. Prime Minister Robert Fico, Transport Minister Ľubomír Vážny and Interior Minister Robert Kaliňák appeared at the accident site to coordinate rescue efforts. Prime Minister Fico announced a national day of mourning for February 22. The national flags flew at half on Sunday. This is the third national day of mourning in Slovakia's history. The first such day was announced on January 23, 2006 to pay tribute to 43 army servicemen and women killed four days earlier in an air crash on their way back from a mission of duty in Kosovo. The second was declared on September 9, 2008, dedicated to the victims of a fatal Slovak bus crash in Croatia that claimed 14 lives.
Svidník
It is a town in eastern Slovakia and it is located in the Ondava Highland, at the confluence of Ondava and Ladomírka rivers, located around 20 km from the Dukla Pass (Polish border) and around 55 km north-east of Prešov. It has a population of 12,384 (2005).
From the history I want to commemorate that Svidník arose in 1944 by merger of formerly two independent municipalities of Nižný (eng: Lower) Svidník and Vyšný (eng: Upper) Svidník. In Svidník we have a lot of historical and cultural facilities as a Gallery of Dezider Milly, open air museum where are beautiful, wooden houses and old wooden church, as well in Svidník we have two museums (first is Military museum where we can find things from the first and second World War and the second museum is called Museum of Ukrainian-Rusyn culture). A lot of statues which are placed about the town commemorate old history of this town. Too in Svidník there are 5 elementary schools and seven secondary schools. For young people there is a cinema, disco bars, coffee bars, swimming pool and many other places where they can spent their free time.
I think that Svidník is beautiful town with many cultural facilities, good and friendly people and many natural beauties which are interesting for many people. I am very happy that I was born in this little and wonderful town and that I spend my childhood here :)

Few steps to happiness
Learn to be thankful
Instead of common thanks express true thanks for anything what your colleague, friend of someone who is close to you has done for you. Work or thing that somebody has done for you, makes you happier and with it comes joy which is a little step to happiness. You should learn how to be thankful also for little success.
Deal joyfulness
Joy is close to happiness. Try to deal joyfulness every day. Make happy your friends or relatives. To make happy someone you don’t have to spend a lot of money even you don’t have to spend anything. Nice word and smile on your face is enough to make them smile too.
Forgive bad things and remember good things
I’m sure that somebody said or did something what hurt you. It comes with life too but if you are angry at someone you don’t solve anything just make days of your life unhappy. It’s needed forgive and forget on bad experiences. On the other hand keep great moments in your memory.

Trnava university was established in 1635 and at this time Trnava became an important university town. Nowadays there are two other universities expect for Trnava university. In the past, there were also typical townwalls around Trnava, which protected the town and inhabitants who lived there. These townwalls have remained up to now.
Nowadays, Trnava is an important historical town and an industrial centre. There are a lot of historical monuments, for example the town tower on the square street. The Townhall is near to it. Trnava is a seat of 12 churchies. It is a main symbol of Trnava. That is why Trnava has been called "Little Rome". Trnava is a municipal town with about 70000 inhabitants.
Sports are very popular among people. The most favourite sport is football. In my view only few sports clubs have so many fans like Spartak Trnava.

University education
University education assurance of success?
Why did I study at university? This is the question of graduates, who stay at the corridors of employment agencies. Is it useful to be hard-working at school so many years?
It depends on you
Assure university recipe doesn’t exist. The most important thing is hided inside of you. Our start conditions are defined according to self assertion. Years spent with the books don’t replace talent and ability. A lot of things are depended on our facilities. Shyness and hiding in the shell is out of the date. The winners are people who can sell their talent and negative facilities turn to positive. Everybody can offer something different.
Don’t be lazy during the study
There is nothing like easy going student’s life. All you have to do is to pass a few exams and then you have a lot of time of dolce far niente. But if you think about tail gate you should try to find some brigade work. If you have luck you find the work which is close to your study. After the graduation there is nothing worse than walk between employers with a thin CV. Interesting positions and firms in column “experiences” immediately prick up one ears at personal department. Match your name with sufficient practical work experiences.
Where the success reside?
In a right combination of self confidence and modesty. Also don’t forget to believe yourself. If you don’t believe yourself you cannot show all your advantages. So think positive. It’s easier to achieve your dream aims with a right motivation.
