Good morning everyone,

How are you this lovely day? If you’re wondering I’m fine. It’s just another summer day without school. I’ve just recently bought a new camera so I decided I would take some photos while making my breakfast.

To start with:

Let’s toast two slices of break.

Start the coffee maker J

I know that it is summer but for whatever reason I decided to have some hot coffee today. Plus I don’t know how to make any other kind of coffee.

And collect the other ingredients.

3 MINUTES LATER

Look at that, our bread is ready….

Oh, so is the coffee J

With no sugar please! 

And now let’s put the greek yogurt and cereal together in a bowl. (Wow that was hard to do :p)

3 minutes later

Oh look at that….

Oh my!

That’s the complete breakfast!!!!!

AND

DON’T FORGET TO DRINK WATER!!!

I hope that you’re having a nice day and enjoying your breakfast too!

Next article: Breakfast with me.

8,5/10

Everyone has been talking about this movie for a while now. They have been saying how amazing it is and how much they cried when watching it. So two friends and I decided to go to the cinema and watch this so-called movie. In fact, we had been wanting to see it for a while but it wasn’t being played near our area so by the time finally decided to actually watch it, it was only being played at one theatre only. So we had to check all the bus destinations and stops and leave our houses at 4 p.m because the movie was being played at a distant place we had never been to before and it stared at 6 p.m. Moreover, after the movie was over we got lost. In short, it kind of took us 7 hours!!!The question is, was it worth it?

The movie follows the story of two young people who have been fighting to stay alive all their lives and find love at the very end. Hazel and Gus meet at a support group and we can see that it's almost love at first sight. From the point that they literally bump into each other their lives are about to be changed for good.

I understand that people are obsessed with this movie and everyone is talking about it but le's just say that they are doing it for the wrong reasons. I believe that what most people see was a sad yet beautiful love story. But let me just say that this movie is far from just another love story. This story is not just about two teenagers and it’s not about how perfect the boy or the girl is.

This story is about LIFE. It’s about realising that there is no forever. There is no such thing as living forever and the couple in this movie were the best example of two people who really understand what it’s like to know that you are going to die…very, very soon! They teach us that what we call forever is actually temporary and that we are lucky enough to have lived that something. So, yes they greave and it’s sad but what’s really important is the strength that there is inside people.

To be honest I did shed a tear too…Again, not because of their love but because when I saw Hazel leaving the cigarettes on Gus’ grave, it reminded me of my grandmother’s funeral. (Miss you and love you grandmum Amalia <3)

I guess that everyone has different impressions of this movie and that is mine: It was worth going through all that trouble as it was a good film though I feel that it would have better with different actors. I know that what I’m going to say is weird but I really wish Cory Monteith was still alive because he would have been the perfect Gus (No offense to the current gus he did very well and his also beautiful).

It’s been exactly one year since he died but he is still in our heart. R.I.P Cory…We miss you!!! You have insired so many people including me obviously!!! I hope you're happy...

5.      I'm alone, on my own, and that's all I know. I'll be strong, I'll be wrong, oh but life goes on. Oh, I'm just a girl, trying to find a place in this world –A place in this world.

6.      So how can I ever try to be better? Nobody ever lets me in –On the outside.

10.  I dared you to kiss me and ran when you tried. Just two kids, you and I.. –Mary’ssong (oh my my my)

11.  I've heard every album, listened to the radio. Waited for something to come along that was as good as our song. –Our song

12.  She can’t see the way your eyes Light up when you smile. She’ll never notice how you stop and stare whenever she walks by. And you can’t see me wantin' you the way you want her –Invisible.

13.  Why would you wanna break a perfectly good heart? Why would you wanna take our love and tear it all apart, now? –A perfectly good heart

14.  Every time you smile, I smile. And every time you shine, I'll shine for you. –Jump then fall

15.  I’ll leave my window open, ‘Cause I’m too tired at night to call your name. Just know I’m right here hopin’, that you’ll come in with the rain. –Come in withthe rain

22.  When all you wanted was to be wanted. Wish you could go back and tell yourself what you know now. Back then I swore I was gonna marry him someday but I realized some bigger dreams of mine. And Abigail gave everything she had to a boy who changed his mind. And we both cried –Fifteen

23.  Maybe I was naïve, Got lost in your eyes and never really had a chance. My mistake, I didn't know to be in love you had to fight to have the upper hand –White horse

24.  And there you are on your knees, begging for forgiveness, begging for me just like I always wanted but I'm so sorry. Cause I'm not your princess, this ain't a fairytale, I'm gonna find someone someday who might actually treat me well. This is a big world, that was a small town. –White horse

33.  But now I'll go sit on the floor wearing your clothes. All that I know is I don't know how to be something you miss. I never thought we'd have a last kiss. Never imagined we'd end like this, your name, forever the name on my lips. –Last kiss

34.  Losing him was blue like I'd never known. Missing him was dark grey all alone. Forgetting him was like trying to know somebody you never met. But loving him was red. –Red

35.  Put your lips close to mine as long as they don't touch. This hope is treacherous. This daydream is dangerous. –Treacherous

36.  And the saddest fear comes creeping in. That you never loved me or her, or anyone, or anything. –I knew you were trouble

37.  We'rehappy, free, confused, and lonely at the same time. It's miserable and magical. -22

38.  I just wanna tell you it takes everything in me not to call you. And I wish I could run to you. And I hope you know that every time I don't I almost do. –I almost do

39.  All I know is we said, "Hello." and your eyes look like coming home. All I know is a simple name but everything has changed. All I know is you held the door. You'll be mine and I'll be yours. -Everything has changed

40.  I've been spending the last eight months thinking all love ever does is break and burn and end. But on a Wednesday in a cafe I watched it begin again. –Begin again

41.  You should've been there, Should've burst through the door with that 'baby I'm right here' smile. –The moment I knew.

Every year, at the begging of summer I just want to experiment with my hair. Whether it's dying my hair, getting a haircut or trying a different way I wear my hair, it's exciting.

Last year I died my hair Pink Ombre. Unfortunately the bright pink colour didn’t last longer than two weeks but I still loved that then it was blonde. I was really excited about dying my hair and trying something new.

This year I haven’t decided What I’m going to do exactly but I have some things in mind. So I thought I would make some suggestions.

                               Dye your hair a different colour

·         Be a blondie…

       ·         Be a brunette…

         ·         What about redheads?

              ·         And Ombre?

      Style your hair another way.

                ·         Straight

                    ·              Curly or wavy

            Braids and up-dos
