Best Trip of My Life

Originally tonight I was supposed to be going to my friends house into his little "crib". No they actually have like a little out house which is called the crib. We were going to play pool and chill and just hang out which would have been nice. Unfortunately his little sister fell off a trampoline so he had to go take care of her, which is clearly what he had to do, i would have done the same. So here is Post 3. Now it didn't take long for me to decide what was the best trip of my life because even though I have been lucky enough to go to an array of places and experience many cultures there are only two holidays that have truly been incredible. My favourite things I've done on holiday were swimming with dolphins and my brothers wedding. (Yes I cried, I was a very proud sister! Infact, we all ended up crying. Quite cute actually).

Firstly I'm going to start with my trip to Florida in 2011. This was the most exciting thing for me because I had never been to America in all of my 18 years. I'd heard loads about it but never had the chance to actually see it. So when my dad told me we were going and all I had to pay for were my park tickets, I jumped at the Chance to go! Really there was only one reason I wanted to visit. The Wizarding World of Harry Potter. I am a massive Harry Potter fan and seeing/walking through Hogwarts and going on the ride was possibly one of the only things i actually looked forward too on that holiday. Plus getting to try Lucky Charms which are now my favourite cereal and the fact they cost £7.00 a box over here breaks my heart. Anyway, continuing on with the Potter Theme, I bought all the house T-shirts, I'm in hufflepuff so i wear that one the most and even got my own wand. Also tried Bertie botts every flavour beans, yes they really do mean every flavour! I also enjoyed the Hulk ride and all the 3D interactive ones!  

The main holiday that I would class as the best trip of my life would be the safari in Kenya. It was just incredible and if i could go back and see the Masai Mara I would. I enjoyed every minute of it, although being covered in orange dust was not ideal, the animals and the views were absolutely breathtaking. No amount of words could ever sum up the beauty and awe of the place so I will ramble on no more and let you view some of the sights that I was privileged to witness. 

There's a little bit of a mix so hopefully you'll enjoy my photography!

These two photos were taken from a lookout at one of the camps we stayed at. Photo doesn't do it enough justice!!

This was supposed to be a night shot of a Leopard eating some meat, yes we were this close and sorry for the bad photography

Well I hope you enjoyed this little insight into my life. Until next time.

Ciao Bella.

Post 2 | My Favourite Quote

Originally I decided that I wouldn't post everyday, however to kick start my blog I have decided that I'm going to attempt to do the 30 day blog challenge. Now don't get me wrong I might not post every day, I would actually like to have some time to do something a little less boring with my life than sit in my bed a write, but for the next 30 posts they will all be linked to the challenge.

So until a day I miss, here's Post 2. My Favourite Quote.

This was a hard one as there are so many quotes that I can relate to and think relate to other people or situations in everyday life, or emotions or simply thinking i agree. For example this quote; Every experience in life, good or bad, is an opportunity to grow. (Especially the bad ones). This is a quote by an incredible woman i found about a year ago. Most know her as The Single Woman and she's taken twitter by storm. It always seems to be that when i need something, a line or quote or a bit of advice my phone will light up with my twitter notifications and there she will be with some kind of power with words. It's breathtaking, and most always makes me smile. It may not be what I want to hear, but it's definitely what I need.

Another quote I really like is from a television series called Gossip Girl. Now I have seen every episode at least three times and I have all six of them on DVD, but only one quote ever sticks out to me. Serena says, "Sometimes planning it or talking about it can ruin a good thing." Now I have always found this to be true, the moment you talk too much or think too much about something it gets ruined. Psychologically, it gets ruined because we think too much. We think so long and hard that our brains come up with scenarios that might not even happen! How many times have you confronted someone and thought out an argument, got all your answers ready and the argument doesn't happen, the other person doesn't stick to the script and ruins it. So yes, talking helps, having time to think helps, but if you do it too much, sometimes (no not all, you have to have a silver lining somewhere) it can ruin things for yourself.

Now I suppose it's time for my Favourite Quote. I've not had to think much about this, there are so many things that it could mean, but you are beautiful it just takes the right person to see it. Believe in yourself a little bit more, you're worth it.

To New Beginnings

So here I am in my little room wondering what to do and I came across this. I thought: Why not start writing again? I spend so much time in here with a laptop, why not make use of it? Why not create something interesting to store my thoughts? And so here we go, probably a rubbish start but we all have to start somewhere. I just hope this fuels my imagination enough to continue writing the book I started about three years ago. 36 months and still on chapter two, it's going well.. 

I should be thinking about what I want to do with my life and what job I want etc. etc. but for tonight I just want to be me, the 20 year old with no complications. I don't want to worry about how much things cost or where i am going to be in three months time, or that i turn 21 in 43 days (a rough estimate, its about a month away!) or that tonight marks the fourth night where I've attempted to write and got writers block. So here are my rambles. However, I suppose I'll have to think about those things soon. Procrastination isn't that bad is it? Maybe just one more night. There are only a few episodes left before I have to wait another week to watch the next one. Whoever invented procrastination was clearly lazy. I need to curb my laziness, if you have any ideas shoot them at me. I feel like I need someone to be by my side and just tell me to get out of bed and go running! One step at a time ey! I keep telling myself, "get rid of this cold then sort out your eating habits, then exercise," I just get so annoyed at my laziness! Ever find that? You don't like something but you don't stop doing it. I hate how untidy my room is, but will I pick up my clothes and put them in a draw, no. So here I am in bed writing this. Least my hands are getting a work out!

I guess this first post isn't going to be very interesting or very long. I merely needed a starting point and well, I guess this is it. Although I spent half my night watching once upon a time so there wasn't much to write about. Maybe next time...

Ciao Bella.
