Spend your Christmas with One direction!

Fancy having a 1D-style Christmas? Here are some tips ;)

What do celebrities want for Christmas?

It;'s that wonderful time of year when we can get away with endless nagging about shoes/dresses/laptops etc and actually get away with it.
But what do our celebrities want for Christmas?

LMFAO
Berocca tablets, Pain killers and a $50 fast food voucher to soothe their sorry selves come boxing day!
Lindsay Lohan
Probably just more publicity. We reckon a sex tape leak is pretty high up on her Chrissy list!
Kim Kardashian
A lasting relationship

Lady Gaga
Something involving revolving panels, fireworks launching from her shoulder pads... and probably lots of exposed skin

Rihanna
We dont really know, but we wish it's decency and a quiet year.

Justin Bieber
quiet family Christmas away from the paparazzi

Beyonce
 normal sized ankles and her flat tummy back!

as told by take 40

Hurray for LITTLE MIX

CONGRATULATIONS to Perrie, Leigh-Anne, Jessy and Jade for winning the X-factor!
They are the first group to win the x-factor, and the only girl group to make it this far!
Get their Debut Single - Cannonball on iTunes now :)

The girls taklk future plans and say they are planning to "work their bottoms off" in order to make an impression and stay around for long. They hope to be the next Spice Girls some day. Here is what they had to say :

Lindsay Lohan has a rubbish week

What has happened to Lindsay in the past couple of weeks?
- Pilfering a necklace?  Check
- Exessive partying after Jay Z consert? Check.
- Morgue duty? Check
- Turned down for "The Ellen Degeneres Show"? Check.
- Community service? Check.
- Leakage of playboy pictures to net? Check.

Can things get any worse? Knowing Lindsay - YES.

Oh My gosh

Guys! The blog has not been dormant!
For some reason, stuff was not uploading properly, and if you can tell, our whole layout has gone nuts.
I'm working right now, at 2 AM in the morning to fix this.
I am so so so sorry,
Thank you for your patience

Living in Egypt - A desire for a change.

Hello, my name is Mohamed. A lot of you are probably wondering what Egypt is really like now. Here’s an advice from me to you: Please don’t always believe the media, especially when the source is from the Egyptian Media. All what we ask for is simple; we want all of our revolutionary goals to be fulfilled, and we peacefully demand it.

I decided to join the patriotic young men in Egypt who were and still are protesting. Yes, they were manly enough to take a stand against a 30-year-old totalitarian system, something our parents (as in Egyptian parents) NEVER thought of doing at their young age. Many people were killed because of the brutality system that the regime used against us.

Our country is our priority. It’s what makes our background in life; where we are from, what language do we speak, etc. The current situation in Egypt is a part 2 of the revolution that happened in January 2011. We have been tricked by the Military Council into thinking that the revolution ended when Dictator Mubarak announced his deposition from office. Yes, things have changed, but in a way we Egyptians call a “Half Revolution”. The idea that we changed only faces but not the system is our story now. History has proven that the harder we face the tighter we get closer. I finally understood how my country mattered to me when I saw it being abused by those pathetic totalitarians. People from everywhere around the world are born free!

My thoughts are that the Military Council should resign from leading the country in the transition period. Those young Egyptians that have been killed during the revolution have died for a reason. They died for their country and for their people to live. They put their lives on the line with pride, dignity, honor, and bravery. They did not fear the guns that were aiming at them, nor of getting tortured if caught by the raids. All they asked for was the best for their country. People in a rebellion have demands, and we demand that the Military Council steps down immediately. WE WILL NOT ALLOW ANYONE TO ABUSE OUR COUNTRY AND TRICK US AGAIN. Our revolution is peaceful and will always stay peaceful. We will continue our struggle and fight against such aristocratic powers, because we want FREEDOM, CHANGE & JUSTICE, no matter what the cost. We believe we can achieve them peacefully, and we will never lose hope....

Janet Devlin gets a record deal

Just a quick update - it has been revealed that Janet has scored a record deal, 35 minutes after she has been eliminated from the X-factor. Go girl!

Public in uproar after Janet left X-factor

Janet has been feeling sick the whole week and stopped singing on Saturdays performance in order to avoid throwing up live on national television. This has resulted with her being in the bottom two, along with surprise surprise - Misha B, who has been saved the fourth time this series.
But did the judges make the right choice? Many argue that since Misha keeps on falling into the sing-offs it just proves that the public dont want her; but one little mistake costed Janet her jouney in the X-factor. Many also claim that Tulisa saved Misha only to "save her face" after the bullying claims and that Kelly abstained because she too wanted to keepher face while secretly oprint to send Janet home.


Whatever is the truth, the publis seems to be in love with this Irish lass, and I am sure we will definetely see her again after such an amazing sing off, which you can watch and enjoy :)

The REAL feature: I lost you

The real feature lets you express your feelings and share your story with us. Today's heartfelt comes from a 19 year old who wished to remain anonimous; here is what he has to share.

May : I promised…

Hello ! would you like a powerful cocktail ?

Sure ! is it really that powerful ?

Haha ! so strong that you will feel like you can’t breathe anymore…

She said yes. It began.

Beginning of our story, beginning of an awful bliss, beginning of your slow goodbye.

She was pretty and clever, smiling and nice. She was my girlfriend. I was not mean anymore, I was honest, so was she. She changed me in ways I never thought possible..

Spending time together, imagining our future, we both knew we were going to last.. Untill one decision changed our lives forever.

Why didn’t I come with you? Why did I let you go there? Why did I turn a blind eye?

How could one party, one day, one night ruin an entire life?

Was it my fault? His fault? Our fault…

You made the decision to do it , your blood accepted it.

You tried to face me, I turned away.
Every single day was hell, I ran away, I was not there; you rejected me, neglected me. I cried but you still remained a prisoner in it’s powerful grip.

Once again, it was over, but this end tortured me, still tortures me and will keep torturing me.

No rope, I should have cut it.

I was there to tell you goodbye, touching this piece of stone, where you slept, cold and grey, sad and angry.
This month of May was beautiful, this goodbye was dreadful.

You jumped, and I stayed motionless. You hung and I looked away.

You married heroin, a deadly union.

…And I will bring you some flowers, as much as possible.

His girlfriend tragically comitted suicide because she could not cope with her growing addiction to heroin, which her boyfriend found out only a week prior to her death. He is now learning how to re-build his life and let go of the guilt he feels for not being able to stop her. 

The only way for Bella and Edward is divorce

If there was ever going to be a continuation of the Twilight saga, Edward and Bella would have to divorce - says Robert Pattinson. Immortality does make your possibilities endless.  "I think it's technically possible," KStew said. "But I can't really answer that question. It's too sad." Others say they can only imagine Bella.... cheating! Being so young it seems like the only option... So would Bella go for Jacob? Tell ur what you think ;)

  

Selena Gomez stalker spoke to God about killing her

As if the the allegations of her boyfriend having a child were not enough, Selena now has a stalker who has allegely spoken to God about murdering her.
Thomas Brodnicki, has a history of criminal stalking, and tried to plead insane when the singer has filed charges against him.
She managed to get a restraining order and he is now locked in mental hospital.
Now lets see how she deals with Bieber not being able to keep his pants on for long ;)

What I think of this.

I have been following the news due to my job at my blog, and I must say I am so dissapointed by all of this fake drama and attention that some people crave. Kim Kardashians fake ( and yes, it was fake) wedding just shows how far would some people go for their 15 mins of fame and money.Couldnt they atleast pretend that it was real? Maybe if they made a sex tape their marriage would have lasted longer.
And how about a certain Mariah Yeater, who claims Justin Bieber is the father of her child? Well now atleast we finally know Justin is a male, but again, I believe this claim is fake and has been made only for her to achieve her 15 minutes of fame. She actually got me thinking - what if I go to The Sun tomorrow and tell them Harry Stylez got me pregnant? If anything, that will get him to notice me.
Sadly though, 17 year old Harry is snogging, going out for meals and just in general having a fun time with Caroline Flack, who just happens to be twice his age. Does anyone else see anything wrong with that or am I just jealous?
And all the X-factor drama does deserve a mention here. I think they realised nobody wants to watch them anymore, so voice became the least important thing on the agenda. With a completely new judging panel ( Louis seems to have grown roots that attach him to his chair and that is, im my humble opinion, the only thing preventing Simon from sacking him - he simply cant wrench him out.) there is more drama drama drama! Kelly is furious that Tulisa accused one of her acts of bullying, Gary Barlow is running around confiscating joints from Frankie and cupcakes from Craig while Louis ponders about the public's almost unanimous hatred for Kitty. Oh god.
So where have the good role models gone? I have just one question - is it really the things they would do have they not been famous? Or are they doing this to grab attention? Now in the case of Kim Kardashian this is clear, but the rest? Come on! And having said that, please sigh the petition to sack the Keeping up with the Kardashians show off E! television. Pretty please. Maybe then our brains will not be polluted with so much sh*t and we will start thinking about more important things.
Like the draught in the horn of Africa.
The Palestinian bid for statehood.
The Arab spring and the suffering endured by the people in the middle east.
I bet more of you knew about Biebers supposed kid than these problems.

Kim Kardashian is in BIG trouble.

Ok, so her marriage lasted a whole 75 days, but has she done it for publicity? Her mum fiercely argues no, however most of her friends say YES. Here's what Phillip Bloch ( Kim's close friend and Holywood stylist) had to say:
"It's embarrasing they couldn't keep up the charade longer. Everyone is fed up and nobody wants to hear about it anymore. She's caught up in the reality show syndrome She's a nice girl but she isnt wild - she's boring. She needed something to make the programme about, so she got married."
It seems like many people agree, since websites like boycottkim.com have launched, pleading people to stop buying her products. And official petition on GoPetition.com was also launched, aimed at the E! producers to cut her off the show.
People are saying that they have had "enough" and are "sick and tired of the whole charade".
Many companies that have affiliated with her have re-signed her, such as bebe clothing and TRIA hair salon.
And if that wasnt enough, sources claim she is also pregnant. Oh dear!

Justin Biebers Love child can cost him 30 million

Justin, who's image is relying on him being squeaky cleam has been involved in a love child scandal. A certain Mariah claims that he is the father of her three months old baby, and demands a paternity test.
She claims that their 30 second saucy encounter backstage ended up with her pregnant, however she can be in trouble for statutory rape since back then Justin was still a minor.
Pop-princess Selena Gomez is standing by her man and both she and Justin claim that the claim is false and unjustified.
If it is proven to be true, he will  have to pay child support , which will cost him around 15 million dollars. + He is very likely to loose many sponsorship deals, which could easily amount to the same sum. 30 million for 30 seconds? oooh baby....

Cher Lloyd wants nothing to do with Cheryl

Simon Cowell said that Cher could be bigger than her X-factor mentor,with whom she has bonded really well on the show, and many people are calling her Cheryl's mini-me.
However Cher replies :  "I don't speak to Cheryl, we have nothing to do with eachother, so will everyone stop asking me about her???"

Cher's album, "Sticks and Stones" has been released this week.

What does Kelly Rowland REALLY think of the X-Factor

The "Now" magasine met up with Kelly to discuss her recent ilness, feud with Tulisa and seeing both of her girls in the sing-off.
Here, we will give you a quick update on what she said about everything :

On her Illness:
"I'm feeling much better, thank you. The antibiotics did their job - my voice is still husky but I'm definetely on the road to recovery"

On Tulisa:
"We have disagreed that weekend. I believe what she said was unfair and it was the wrong timing for it. It would be a boring frigin lovefest if we all got on. If I believe that what someone said was wrong, I will say it"

On Louis:
"I love Louis and I squeze his butt all the time. I take advantage of his little booty"

On Gary:
"I've fallen in love with Gary. He's a great father, a great husband and a great human being.

On Dermot O'Leary
"I love Dermot. Me and him went dancing and he has some moves!

On Olly Murs:
"He has the cutest little butt I've ever seen. It distracts me. But his trousers are a bit tight, I'm like let the guys breathe down there!

On Simon Cowell:
"He gave me the best advice and told me to be honest. He's a very handsome guy, is he single?"

On Kitty Brucknell:
"Man, have you heard that girl sing? I'll be in my room, she'll be five floors down, and I could still hear her sing"

On Beyonce's baby:
No one deserves a child more. I'm so proud to become auntie Kelly :)

Porn Legend Sasha Grey says she will not quit reading to schoolchildren

Porn legend Sasha Grey says she will NOT back out of a national elementary school reading program -- despite pressure from parents -- claiming she will "not live in fear" of her XXX past.
SASHA'S STATEMENT:

"I am proud to have participated in the "Read Across America" program at Emerson Elementary School in Compton, CA. I read “Dog Breath” by Dav Pilkey to the sweetest 1st and 3rd grade children.

"Read Across America" is a program that was designed to promote literacy and instill a lifelong love of reading in elementary school students. Promoting education is an effort that is close to my heart. Illiteracy contributes to poverty; encouraging children to pick up a book is fundamental.

I believe education is a universal right. I committed to this program with the understanding that people would have their own opinions about what I have done, who I am and what I represent.

I am an actor. I am an artist. I am a daughter. I am a sister. I am a partner. I have a past that some people may not agree with, but it does not define who I am.

I will not live in fear of it. To challenge non-profit education programs is an exercise in futility, counter-productive and anti-educational.

I cannot thank my fans and 'Read Across America' enough for supporting my decision. Your support and kind words continue to inspire me. I believe in the future of our children, and I will remain an active supporter and participant in education-focused initiatives."

Thew Blow!

Australia Bans Cigarette Branding

Australian government has just passed a bill making cigarrete branding illegal - leaving pacts with nothing but graphic image of smoking-related diseases. Tobacco companies have been fiercely fighting against this policy, but it seems like they are fighting a loosing battle.
This decision has raised many questions, such as Is it ok to strip cigarettes of their logos, at taxpayers cost? Will it stop smokers buying them? Is alcohol going to be next?

Kelly's reaction to Frankie Cocozza's departure

It seems that Kelly Rowland didn't know that Frankie was off the Xfactor, so it came as quite a shock when a reporter from Showbiz 144 Lisa Snell broke the news for her. Watch and find out what happens!

Ever had that mood when you're about to tell someone that you will marry them and have their children? Even if they don't want to, you don't give a shit, you'll do it?
I'm in one of those right now.

I watched this, and I just wanted to comment.
The girl is just eight, and she is starving herself.
My question is, who is to blame?
is it the parents who didnt make her feel loved enough?
or maybe she was just seeking attention?
or is it the media?
but on the other hand, HOW could an eight year old even consider that?
I used to play with toys when I was eight!
I don't think she would be that exposed to media that she can gain an obsession with thinness.

Why?

today is the day of random youtube videos.
so get comfy on your spofas and watch the weirdest things!

devoid

just imagine...

one day, you wake up, and all you ever had is gone..
the city is full of darkness, the streets are full of strangers.
you have nothing
you own nothing
you are nothing...
would you be scared?

or picture yourself
on the corner of the bisy street
and then pretend that you do not exist
and see, how the world goes on without you.
because it doesnt need you


just imagine.. and let go

Never, ever, re-read old inbox mesages.
I just wish I could be back home with you.

“Everything will turn out right, the world is built on that.”
― Mikhail Bulgakov, The Master and Margarita

just wanted to say

Cyprus is one hell of a weird country.
And don't start with your nationalism. I love cyprus.
But
Could you possibly explain why
Guys
That try to chat you you up don't just come up to you and say hi, whatssup, wanna go eat some souvla or something
NO
They have to scream ( and I really mean SCREAM) from cars, cough behind you ( The best is when they do that in a dark allyway at 4AM when you're going home after a club), or just stare. Thats the scariest, I always think they are plotting to rape me or something..

We did this poem in combined studies today, and I felt like I should share it.

I am not yet born; O hear me.
Let not the bloodsucking bat or the rat or the stoat or the
     club-footed ghoul come near me.

I am not yet born, console me.
I fear that the human race may with tall walls wall me,
     with strong drugs dope me, with wise lies lure me,
        on black racks rack me, in blood-baths roll me.

I am not yet born; provide me
With water to dandle me, grass to grow for me, trees to talk
     to me, sky to sing to me, birds and a white light
        in the back of my mind to guide me.
I am not yet born; forgive me
For the sins that in me the world shall commit, my words
     when they speak me, my thoughts when they think me,
        my treason engendered by traitors beyond me,
           my life when they murder by means of my
              hands, my death when they live me.

I am not yet born; rehearse me
In the parts I must play and the cues I must take when
     old men lecture me, bureaucrats hector me, mountains
        frown at me, lovers laugh at me, the white
            waves call me to folly and the desert calls
              me to doom and the beggar refuses
                 my gift and my children curse me.

I am not yet born; O hear me,
Let not the man who is beast or who thinks he is God
     come near me.
I am not yet born; O fill me
With strength against those who would freeze my
     humanity, would dragoon me into a lethal automaton,
        would make me a cog in a machine, a thing with           one face, a thing, and against all those
              who would dissipate my entirety, would
                 blow me like thistledown hither and
                    thither or hither and thither
                       like water held in the
                          hands would spill me.

Let them not make me a stone and let them not spill me.
Otherwise kill me.

AA Rasist?

Bit of background - I go to a private english school in Cyprus. Eventhough it's an english school, i is dominated by Cypriots. Every year, the year 6 parades together with the students from other schools on independance day.

Now the problem.
The english kids, being a minority, have all been kicked out from the parade because apparently they didnt walk well enough.
Coincidence? I don't think so.

And what can we do? Complain to teachers? They were the ones that kicked us out. Complain to the deputy? He never gives a shit, he runs around trying to find people to suspend. To the principal? Well, we will try tomorrow.

But I really feel as if there is nothing we can do.

NEW FEATURES

As of next week - yes, next week, I will introduce many very cool new features.
1) I'll be reviewing more clothes, but this time, from online stores
2) I'll actually be giving away my favourite items ( brand new, ofc) to those who win in the draw - all you have to do is enter.
3) I will talk about things that you want - you're welcome to send me a topic and I will review it.
4) Last but not least, a discussion of the month feature is introduced - where we have an open topic for debate.
Thats all for today peeps x

Dear readers.

It has dawned on me that blog has been up for a month and a bit, and I have over a thousand views. That is amazing.
Thank you all.
I never thought people would be interested to see what I ramble about.
So, a big shout out to the following countries, from where I get my readers:
- Cyprus ( more than 50%) :)
- United States
- Canada
- Ukraine
- Saudi Arabia
- Russia
- Germany
- United Kingdom
- Lebanon
- France
- Pakistan
- Malaysia
- Belgium
- Greece

And there is a special shout out.
Every day, like clockwork, I get a visit from one person in Kuwait. That is seriously amazing, because I knew nothing about that country before my economics project in Oxford. I was very surprised to see how advanced your small country is. So if you are reading this, mysterious reader, hi :)

The shopping thingy

I was asked to do a quick shopping review, and so I am doing it :)


I started out in Prime Timers & Dash, and I was straightaway able to find what I needed. Very fucking skinny black jeans. there were a number of tops I liked as well, like an open-back black one, but I decided to save that for later, as things there a bit pricey. Don't expect anything under 60 euros there. But they are very worth it.


I went down to Guess, and I saw some pretty knitted things there. The big disappointment comes when you try them on - they look very bad, sort of like a knitted bathrobe. They do have a number of nice "boyfriend" cardigans though. No need to mention the amazing bags and purses, you know it.


Next stop was Topshop, and by then I made up my mind about what I needed. I asked the sales assistant to show me something club-like, not black and not baggy ( I really was running out of time, so I couldn't go around myself). Guess what? The first thing pointed out to me was baggy, black and very long. Assuming she was taking the piss I repeated my request, and was immediately produced another, even baggier top. I just left. Saw one nice blazer, but wasn't gonna buy it from there just cause of that woman.

Bershka has always been my favourite. Saw some very worthy jeans there, and nice tops for the winter season. Not quite what I was looking for, but I'll be back.

BSB didn't have what I wanted, and neither did Zara. They believe, for no apparent reason, that baggy / muffin tops are it this season. Are they? Not the ones that I've seen, no. Some very nice flats on the first floor of Zara though, but I bought a pair before and they left blisters, so I'll think twice before buying from there again.

Terranova is another personal favourite. Some pretty looking things there, & I'll definitely return for that "my boyfriend makes me angry" T-shirt.


That's it really. More detailed stuff coming on later, with maybe some other people doing a guest feature on my blog ( reviewing shops).

My blog STILL won't let me upload the pictures. Don't worry, I'll sort it out soon.
Now updates.
Quick shopping update coming soon
untill then.. next challenge!

Something you’re proud of in the past few days

I'm proud of myself in general. I seem to be handling work & schoolwork and social life quite efficiently. Also managed to secure a couple of jobs promoting stuff right here on this blog. I am one happy bunny ;)

Pictures are up!

As I am typing, pictures are being uploaded :D
First facebook , then for a better quality look here, under the photography section.
Guys, there were some HILARIOUS fucking faces. I'm so sorry.
I didnt upload the very bad ones. There still are a couple.
Some were not as good because
- I was slightly drunk
- You were slightly drunk
- Angels has way too many mirrors.


Thank you & hope you enjoy x

Another challenge

10- Songs you listen to when you are Happy, Sad, Bored, Hyped, Mad
ok, lets go.
Happy
there's a number of songs I listen to when I'm happy. Mostly dance songs :) Right now though, it would have to be Maroon 5 - Moves like Jagger
Sad
James Blunt - Cry
James Blunt - Carry you home
Coldplay - Postcards from far away
Keane - Shadow
(you get my drift)
Bored
Anything.
Hyped
Electo, Trance, Vocal trance ;)
Mad
I dont really listen to anything when I'm mad. I go work out or punch my punching bag. Or go for a run.

Patience is a virtue

Guys, do not worry, I will upload the pictures, but I am not superhuman, I cant do everything in a nanosecond. Monday the latest :)
And that is because I need to edit them, and delete some shitty ones. Yes, there will be bad ones as
1) I was "slightly" drunk
2) Angels has many mirrors and they ruined my flash.


So dont fret, I want u all to look pwetty :)

I DID IT

Due to a number of special requests ( from special people) I have opened up a poetry section. Dont be too harsh on it, I'm uploading stuff I wrote in year 1, 2 and 3.

TOMORROW WE PARTYYY

Just a quick post to remind everyone that our party shall commence tomorrow, at Club Angels.
Doors open at 12, Please bring your ID with you.

Thank you & Hope to see you all there <3

To do list, effectively.

Short term goals for this month and why

I need to post more, be more efficient & get all of my work out of the way. This moth has been CRAZY with all the stuff I have to do. Sereously. This is why I haven't posted a lot.

And yeah, SHIT, I need to book a hotel in  Paris, otherwise I'll end up going there and camping out on the street.
Anyone know any good hotels? Inbox me.

And also I need to sort out my French - I've improved a lot but there is still a long way to go.

Challenge seven!

 07- A picture of someone/something that has the biggest impact on you

For my own reasons.

Не сходи с ума

Ищу причины остаться здесь, и ищу причины уйти
Ну как в тебе я убить посмею без края веру в любовь
Ну кто тебе я? Страсть, слёзы, Бог, боль?
Ок, я просто исчезну, хочешь? А хочешь, буду звонить?
Канаты рвутся, а между нами и вовсе тонкая нить.
О нас с тобою не снимут фильма, в моём мобильном гудки
Твоей тоски...
Не сходи с ума, не жалей ни о чём
Глупая, ведь ты мне всё простишь потом
Зачем тебе я? Где я, с кем я, слёзы, боль?
Ок, сегодня останусь, хочешь? А хочешь я пропаду?
Жалеешь после, но поздно просто у сердца на поводу
О нас с тобою не снимут фильма, едва ли это любовь
Я был с тобой...

Challenge 6

Fave superhero & why

Meh, been a long time since I watched any of this "superhero" movie shite.
There's one person who is my own superhero, in every imaginable way.
And I hope he knows that.

Breaking Free

I'd rather die right now, knowing that I've done what I always wanted; than a hundred years later, knowing that I have betrayed myself.

Vive la Stupidity!

Just mentioning that I can't figure out how to make a poetry section.
So as per tomorrow I'll just post them here.
Hope you wont be too annoyed <3

Places I've been to!

Challenge 05 - name all the places you've been to!

Right, lets start.

- England
- Scotland
- France
- Holland
- Finland
- Sweden
- Check Republic
- Serbia & Montenegro
- Ukraine
- Italy
- Turkey
- Portugal
- Austria
- Croatia
- Hungary
- Bulgaria
- Norway

It's mostly European countries.
Also, I cannot wait to go to Paris again on the 24th. It's gonna be amazing.
 :D

beauty

You know how they say "beauty is in the eyes of the beholder"?
Well bullshit.
We all know how we are supposed to look, and dress, and behave.
And that pisses me off.
I don't consider myself beautiful, or sexy, or attractive in many kinds of ways, Yes, I have low self esteem, people close to me know that.
And I have been brought down a lot to support that opinion.
Right now I'm doing something that I actually look down upon, something I never considered doing.
I'm thinking of altering my image to get closer to this little perfection we all have in mind
You think you are unique?
You are, just like everyone else.

Challenge 4 & Poetry announcement

Day 04- A habit that you wish you didn’t have
Well, ofc, smoking. Then I have a habit of being slightly naive, saying what I really think ( really gets me into shit, always) , and getting attached too easily.

Small announcement ( veeery small announcement)
I shall publish some of my poetry here on this blog - if you are interested visit the poetry section. It's nothing amazing, exept ofcourse for the epic poem written by me, Tooka ( and cntribution from Ms Mallas) in History lesson. :D

But right now, I;m off to catch some zzzzz's

Challenge 3

Day 03 - A picture of you with your friends:

Here you go.

A wasted life.

Let me tell you about another wasted life.
Let me tell you about a person who has died tonight.

He was a well known Russian buisinessman, who was imprisoned by the government who saw an enemy in him.
They wanted to scare him, break him, make him cooperate.
He didn't.
So they "accidentaly" withdrew blood from him with an infected syringe.
He contracted AIDS.
After a year, he was partially blind, had tuberculosis, and kidney cancer.
He still refused to break.
They still refused to let him go.

Today, this brave man has died, and I want to honour him, for standing up against our government.
He has given us hope for a better tomorrow.
May you rest in peace, Vasiliy Alexanyan. May your torturers die screaming, of cancer, like you did.

AA YEAR 6 PARTY @ ANGELS

Friday 14 @ Angels club Larnaca

Entrance 15 euro & two drinks

Come and release your devil to party hard!

Everyone is welcome - as long as you are 17+ ( ID is essential for the night.)

For any information contact me or any other 6th year student. Let the craziest party of the year commence!

Changing my mind

Changing my mind about the Greece trip, we seem to be doing okay.


Off to plan some designs for the party ;)

Apologies, Last nigh & challenge two.

Sorry for not poisting yesterday, I came home feling preety much like this -

Meh, so, you get it :D

Anyhow, Challenge two!                                                               

Day 02- The meaning behind your Blog name

Well, the meaning is random, just like me. I wanted to think of a cathcy name, and thats what my "clever" brain came up with.                                                             

30 day challenge - 1

things you want to say to five different people

What a stupid question, If I wanted to ay it, I'd say it. Whats the purpose of writing it on my blog?
Rubbish challenge, NEXT><

Trip to Greece.

If you put together 140 16 to 18 year olds, all ambitious, stubborn, stupid and with their own ideas , and ask them to cooperate, you're asking for trouble.
Obviously, no one will fully agree, and knowing our year, debates that will make the best lawyers jealous will occur.
I'm just waiting to see what will happen.

And no, don't take wrong, I will participate and I am hopefull it does work out in the end.
 But sometimes being realistic helps :D

Cuteness

How cute is this?

Sereously, next time I want to kill someone I shall envision this in my head, and die from cuteness overdose.

I think his nose makes a pretty good target, no?

Kiddin'/

Cats

Don't you just love cats? They are the most loyal & independant creatures in the world. They go wherever they want, but in the end, they always end up home.

Cats will never sleep with a person they do not love.

They will never trust a stranger.

About time we learn from them.

Bedlam

No matter where you are going
You will always end up in the same place.
Our life is organised chaos, we're going back to Bedlam.

Brighten up my day

Nice to know somebody cares <3
Nothing like a slap in the face and Maroon 5 to brighten up my day

4 AM, I'm back, I'm alive

I have no idea how to put this in words anymore.
I know you'll never see this.
I know I'll never see you.
But I need you in my life, I..
I just need to know you're alive.






Because  every day, I close my eyes and I see you.

Untitled.

From flats to heels, from kissing to sex, from feelings to bullshit - we're getting older bitches.

& Your boyfriend dumped you? It's the end of the world right?
I know a woman, who's son has died tonight.

If you woke up breathing, congratulations;

you have another chance.
