But after I finished my studies I dropped everything because I didn’t have good conditions for doing all these things. But at that time I started cross-stitching and sewing. Since I have started stitching I’m tempted by everything that has something to do with this activity. I’ve stitched a several pictures like horses, dogs than a few table cloths, towels but this hobby is very time consuming so I can’t do it all the time because this is not my only hobby. Among my hobbies belongs a collecting of cows. It has started with one teddy cow that I got as a present after I finished secondary school. I liked it so much that my friends and sister have started buying me the other ones. Now I have quite nice collection. I have a huge big cow from San Marino, small one from Switzerland, one that makes sounds and of course my oldest one. Than I have a few statues and the little cow from England which you can squeeze and pooh comes out. And I have a lot of kitchen equipment shaped or printed with cows. I like this hobby very much but my mum is driven crazy from all my cows so she doesn’t like when someone gives me my favourite animal. I used to have a wished for hobby but my dreams came through and dream became a reality. It is folk dancing. I’ve been obsessed with dancing since I was a girl. But when we moved to Slovakia in 1988 and I saw a folk festival Východná for the first time I said to my parents I will be dancing at that stage one day in front of all these people. In the course of years I had many other activities and I didn’t have a chance to take up my wished for hobby. But one day only few days after I returned back from England I met my good friend and she told me about their folk ensemble in Východná and that there’s still space for another dancer. This was the moment when my dream came through and since I’ve joined that fantastic group of people I take part to folk festival in Východná I do sing and dance and I meet many interesting people all over the Europe who have the same interest. This activity brings me a real joy and happiness.

But I think that music brings joy and happiness all people. It doesn’t matter if that’s classical music, pop, hip-hop, heavy metal, folk or techno music because all people are different and they express their personality in different ways. But the main thing is that people feel relaxed and happy. Someone can hit the percussion for hours and it makes him feel good and someone can listen to a chamber orchestra and he can feel the same relaxation as the one who plays the drums.
