My morning in pictures..

So from the pictures you can see what I did this morning really. Not exactly what you would call interesting, but then again it's not really that boring. I just felt like taking some snaps around the house and here was my excuse to do so.

It's Saturday and usually I would be doing something on a day like this, the sun is out, the birds are singing and not a cloud to be seen. But for some reason I have chosen to sit indoors and write this blog. Mainly because I have nothing to do until later when my grandparents are over. I'm sure that will be somewhat amusing...

As I lay here on my bed writing this I am thinking of one of two things. 1)Why on Earth am I up so early, it is only 10:46am and this could be valuable sleeping time and 2) It's so hot in this bedroom. However I have opened two of four of my windows but the breeze is simply not invading my room, hmph. Although, it is a good thing that the weather is warming up as lately we have been having a bit of wet patch but then again this is England so we have to expect it. So the summer is sun is a nice surprise to us all and I hope that you are all making the best of it :)

Another thought of my mind today is childhood. I always loved being a child and I'm sure most of you will agree with me here. There's something amazing and carefree about being small. You have no worries whatsoever. I sometimes wish that I was a child again, six years old would be good. I want to once again think that candy is better than money, because you can eat candy, money seems somewhat useless to us. I want to go to McDonalds and still believe it is a 5 star restaurant and not care what everybody thinks of me when I have tomato ketchup smeared round my face, I like it that way! I want to go outside without worrying how my hair looks like and what people will think of me. I want to distance myself from the complexities of life, and once again become excited over the small things. I want to ride my bike all the way to the park, without worrying that I will get kidnapped. I want to believe in the power of laughter, of a hug, a handshake, of a kind word, of truth, justice or peace. I want once again to believe in the human race. I wish that each one of us could live a part of that child we all have inside and do not let ourselves be dragged down by the society which surrounds us. If we all thought and acted a little like children, don't you think a lot of things in the world would be different, a lot easier wouldn't you say?

Some of you would say that you would not want to be placed back into the shoes of a young child because of various reasons. Maybe it's because you Never again want the responsibility of an eight-year-old -- the constant struggle to concentrate on my schoolwork. Never again must you live in terror of having to tell the teacher that my homework is not finished and inevitably face a detention. Or maybe you hated the fears you had back then such as animals, the dark, the innards of machines, slides and swings, balls coming toward me, skating, and especially, people I did not know. But to be honest with you, around three of those things on that list still frightens me.

I guess you never truly grow up and I wouldn't ever want too. But then again contemplating the above I don't know whether I really would like to go back to being six. I like things the way they are now. They are perfect and I wouldn't want them to go any other way. Maybe you feel the same, or maybe you don't but I hope you have listened to what I have had to say.

Until next time.

Long time, no blog :)

It's the 24th July and by now most schools have all broken up for the summer holidays. That means my household is filled with screaming overexcited kids which are only bareable for around five minutes. So for that reason I have tried to get out as much as I could these past few weeks. I've been out with a few friends and had a rather enjoyable time. One of the things on my agenda was to go and see Harry Potter but now due to swine flu by parents class the cinema as "dangerous"...brilliant. But among other things I have been to parties, witnessed some lovely views, been to hastings, just hanging around Folkestone and I even ventured to Dover cliffs the other day (and believe me it wasn't easy to get up there!)

Right now, my Facebook is really annoying me. I put myself "offline" on Facebook chat and now it won't let me "online". I'm pretty angry. But I can't keep this up all my blog so I will be a little happier from now on ;)

I have a lot of plans this summer and I hope I complete them all. I keep saying to everybody "we have all summer" when in fact it's not that long until we go back to school. But, I'm going to make the very most out of summer and nothing is going to ruin it. Haven't you ever wondered..why do we actually love summer so much?..

(update! my Facebook chat lives again)

..well I was reading an article in a magazine and it cleared up why we seem to adore these coming months. One thing that is common in teenagers is "summer love". I guess it is true, because let's face it..we all love someone to cuddle upto and watch the sunset don't we? Sometimes summer romances can bloom into what feels like the greatest love of your life. Maybe it's the heat, maybe it's the fact that summer is so short and sweet, or maybe it is just plain true love when you're not looking, but there's something about love in the summer that makes it unique. Also both men and women say blue skies and being at the seaside are the most important summertime experiences. But men rate bronzing their bodies as the fourth most important. Men also rate barbecues higher than women, who love the smell of suntan lotion and being able to slip on a pair of sunglasses. The researchers found that the single happiest memory of childhood summers was the opportunity to play outdoors, and the most summery thing about a holiday in Britain was an afternoon lazing in a pub garden.

So there you go, I guess that is why we love summer :)

Well, I think that's all from me today and it's only 10:11am. I hope you all have a beautiful summer, I know I will ;)

Good Blog Titles are short, yet still descriptive. How about "Hi, I'm back"

I almost didn't write this blog as I was only greeted with an error code every time I tried to post this, but here I go again. I'm back on the blogging front. I don't know what compelled me too, but I decided it would be a nice start to the new week. I browsed the Internet earlier and found a variety of different websites that actually did blogs. I tried a few out including one where you didn't "blog", no. you "blerged". But in the end this blog doesn't compare to all the rest. It's easy, simple and just great to jot my feelings down onto. I wouldn't want to delve into a more troubling website.

So anyways, enough of me babbling. Recently I haven't been doing a great amount. I've been out and about with my friends and just trying to enjoy the summer holidays. Even though they haven't officially begun yet but that will commence in around a week or so. I have a few plans coming up which should be rather good and I'm looking forward to them. A friend has gone away this week and I do miss him quite a bit, and he only left today..silly really but still the feeling is true so I'll be spending my week trying to occupy myself until he returns :) I also start my new job on Wednesday, finally I'm going to earn my living in this household and oddly it feels pretty marvellous. It's at the Marsh Maize Maze by the way if any of you were wondering and if you're not familiar with this, It's basically a Maze. I know that doesn't sound very cool, but believe me it is :)

Today's "theme of the blog" is going to be something a little heart warming. Love. I just watched the Notebook and I think it a beautiful story line. Now because of the amazing work of the directors and writers of the film I am soon to be delving into the Novel by Nicolas Sparks. The storyline is beautiful and although very dramatised and unreal it could happen however far fetched it may seem. It's odd. Love. Billions of people around the world will use that word every single day. Heck, I have. Probably a couple of times. But why do people love each other? Why do certain people fall for certain others? Hm. Well, they can do it for the right, or the wrong reasons. The right consisting of the below:

Here, people fall in love because they want to offer someone something good that they have. They want to be with someone not as to depend on him or her but to share their life with them. They have something good to offer and they want something good in return. They want to spend time with someone not because they are scared to be alone but because they enjoy the other person’s company. They are not in the relationship with closed eyes but open eyes. They can see all; the good and bad happening, and they are ignoring the bad because they are scared to be alone, or because they feel embarrassed that it’s happening to them. Being in love is about giving and receiving what is good. Please, underline the word good. Most people miss this point. A lot of people love the idea of being in love but not the actual fact. If many people understand the real reason of being in love and what being in love is, there would be less divorce, heartbreaks, suicides, violence and anything else that is related to bad breakups or bad relationships.

And the wrong...

In order to be in love, you have to be in love with someone. And this is where the trouble arises. Because some people love the idea of being in love so much, they end up falling in love with the first person that is a little bit nice to them. They don’t take their time to know the person. And even if the person shows signs of hurting them in the future, they ignore the signs. They are more concerned about being with someone, than being with someone who really loves and cares about them. It takes a long time to know a really good person but it only takes a short time to know a bad person. A good person is there but you just don’t notice because you are too busy looking everywhere else other than next to you. A bad person is at a far distance, all you have to do is look up and they will come over to you. A lot of people (girls especially) are scared of being alone. Thus they always end up falling for the wrong person because their logic mind is clouded with the desire to be with someone, anybody that shows interest in them. They don’t assess the person. They don’t care about his looks, what he does for a living, his interests and future plans. They just want to be loved.

If you want something good, you should be willing to offer something good..
We live in a society now where we spend a lot of time asking ‘what can you give me?’ rather than asking ‘what will I give you?’

Well, now that's over and done with. I hope that has shed a little light on you guys. The weather is getting better lately and has definitely improved. Summer is now well under weigh and I've already been in the sea several times. It's not the warmest experience but it is one of the nicest. Make the most of your summer fellow bloggers. I'm not entirely sure when I'll be next blogging, maybe tomorrow but then I could be busy. But I'll try :)

If you get without giving, you are most likely to lose what you get..
