Swifties and Cumberb*tches!!!

So kids (not that appropriate to say for I am not an adult yet. I just can't hide my personality), here I write where I have not written for a long time about, well, my hobbies and so on. I am sure an introduction may bore you to death but I insist, I am practising essay writing and this, frankly will help. Or at least I hope so...

Taylor Swift has once again come back with an amazing album! Here I am, drooling with jealousy over how selected fans were chosen to participate in the video making of 'Shake it off', when I stumble upon an article that tells me her world tour tickets are on sale for London at 9:30am Tuesday morning on 3rd November. What feelings come to my mind first are quite joyous and positive, but as I think and think, how would I, a full-time student in secondary/high school have the time to order tickets when they are bound to sell out in the first hour at most! This depresses me, as she is only in London for one day in June and therefore it's quite unlikely now that I will ever see her perform live next year. Happy days...
On the other hand, not to sound depressing, I have made sure to analyse her album! Unfortunately all I can say is that it was a job well done and I can't be more happy to listen to her new genre that she has decided to take up with confidence. Before I manage to fill this room with tears of joy, I must say I will stay a Swiftie for as long as humanely possible!!! <3

 

Now onto slightly more 'fangirling' topics. Benedict Cumberbatch...

It shouldn't be allowed for me to admire a 38 year old (he doesn't look it at all), but here I am, watching episodes of Sherlock, trying to figure if it is Benedict or Sherlock I like more. Hopefully Benedict, for he is a real life person and Sherlock is a fictional character. I can't really say much about this topic, where it becomes inappropriate for me to talk in a certain way about an older older man. So all I say is this, I am officially a Swiftie and a Cumberb*tch.

Meet the Vamily!

So this is the announcement they posted publicly on Google+

 

Last night we announced we want to #MeetTheVamily so who's up for partying with us? Fill out this form for a chance to be live in a hangout with us on Friday morning…

Winners will be picked tonight!! http://po.st/VampsGH

 

 

 

 

Now because I'm a fan of the Vamps, I have been longing for this kind of thing for quite some time now. Just as the opportunity came, I thought clearly and realised there was no chance, all hope isn't lost, just yet, I am sure I will see them once more in my lifetime, even if it is bumping into them on the street (not that likely that a huge pop band will be walking about the streets where I live, but hey!).

 

Comment below on how much you admire the Vamps, a lot or not at all!

Around the world in 80 days

So I'm not much of a travelling person, but when the opportunity comes, I like to make most of the time I have to spare. You may be wondering why the title is called what it's called. This is because one day, I will travel around the world, not necessarily in 80 days, or in a huge air balloon.

I am actually trying to learn the most common languages of the world...I've already learnt English, so I've decided to learn German (Hallo! Wie gehts?) to help me in the future. I would recommend German to the people who are quite linguistic and can take in a lot of grammar rules and information as it is, personally, a language with many difficulties. Oh, how happy you feel after was once you have learn to say your name! :)

One of the best holidays I have ever been to was a trip to Majorca with my family. This was in the summer of 2010 and how I wish to go there again! Some might think Majorca is just a clubbing hotspot, but parts of the country are just so peaceful, that they're worth visiting. As a Londoner, you don't really get to see clear blue seas in the city, so if your a city person like me, you will not want to miss the opportunity! 

Please comment down below on the countries that you think are worth visiting! Thank you!

Is it too late to say "May the odds be ever in your favour" ???

THE HUNGER GAMES

I am proud to say, that I, Victoria am an official fan of THG! I have read all the books and seen the movies that have come out so far. I guess this post will jus be me ranting on about the movies and books, so unless you're not that crazy as I am about the dystopian set trilogy, then please stay and read on...

 

 

 

 

         To me, the hunger games opened my eyes to the wider world of Earth and it's politics. It actually made me quite curious, as to the resemblance of the government in the fictional books and the government present day. I realised that we might judge instantly and say "Imagine if this happened in the future," well, to a certain extent it is already happening! I know you may think I am throwing out ideas with no support of evidence, but to those small number of people, who view my blog (thank you!), I say that our government is slightly alike to the one Katniss Everdeen lives with. The poverty in the book based around Panem (America) is more extreme than in the present day America. . I believe that if our politicians and world leaders were not that much alike to president snow, then there would not be starving children in lower economically developed countries (LEDCs). Politics has provided us with many pro's in our societies, but nevertheless, there are con's. The positive outcomes of law that have affected us in a great way are laws that prevent violence, discrimination and racism. For this we should be grateful, in my honest opinion. If it had not been for theses laws, we would be living in rougher countries and would have to experience fright within societies. I just wish that one day people could live in peace EVERYWHERE in the world, without having to feel the fear of loosing loved ones or things most precious to them. War - does it ever end?

 

 

 

 

          The Hunger Games book I found very intriguing. This was probably because it was the first ever dystopian genre that I had read. The book was quite long to me at first, and when I found out it was a trilogy, oh the joy! ;) I had set myself even more homework! The movie missed out a lot of the most important things mentioned in the book, e.g. where the pin came from and the mayors daughter. But I have to say, I was still impressed to see how they formed the movie so that it could be a 12 rating! I found the books more violent and open than the movie. All in all, I give the book a 9/10 and the movie 8.5/10 :)

 

 

 

 



Meeee:)

So I thought that I haven't introduced myself and I'll start of by sayig this...my life, is very jolly (so far). I live around those I love and who give the same back. I think I am very honest when I have to be and quite good at multi-tasking :)

I enjoy doing many things and my favourite word is 'meritorious' which means honourable. Frankly, my teachers have had enough of me and my favourite word as it appears in every piece of work that I've accomplished. I guess I've taken it too far and am kind of teasing them by repeating the same word all the time, not a very meritorious occupation :)

You may be wondering what the hamster picture represents at the bottom of this post, no I don't have a hamster, or a pet. It symbolises my passion in karate. I have been training from a young age and adore it to pieces! Not only does it help keep me fit, but teaches me how to kick but!

Smash Books!

Aaaah - smash books! What would I do without them?

When I was younger I was a really simple being. At 10, I wouldn't even probably have thought I would be scrapbooking in the future. I was a real tom-boy! Now that I'm a bit taller and a bit wiser, I have found new interests and hobbies that are not only suitable for me, but more helpful in life. (e.g. by scrapbooking I get to be more creative, explore my potential and use it for my benefit. With toy cars, what do I learn? to push a miniature object back and forth?) I guess I'm being a bit judgemental, but nevertheless...

 

On the left, you can see an example of a smash book. It can be used to write, stick or draw in nonsense! You can eventually end up with a book full of receipts and cheques that you have kept for memories. This is just a way of emptying out the junk drawers :)

 

I never really knew how they thought of calling the product a SMASH book, but it's pretty clever! I guess it's an instruction for a newbie scrap booker, simply smash the stuff in! They are quite expensive but in my opinion, they're worth it!

K-POP

The love for K-POP  probably came through when I was in year seven, at secondary school. This was a hard time fitting into a new school, meeting new friends etc. but mostly getting to know the people and their likes and dislikes. Once I walked into my teachers form room and heard the music playing. I immediately recognised that the song was in a different language. I asked what it was and she said Korean.

It was strange to me at first as I had never actually thought of what Korean songs sound like, but once I heard the first song, I couldn't get enough of it! The first band I started to listen to was Super Junior. I admired this group for their dub step breaks and funky dance moves. I started to admire the individuals in the group as well. And still, many years later, I have found myself a true fan, not just of Super Junior, but of all the bands! I only wish people could see why I admire it so much and start to feel the same way :)
