Nana soup and her beloved Molster

Everybody needs their own soup..<3 font="font">

Hello everyone :)

I wanted to share with you my love for the most beautiful, intelligent and thoughtful woman i know. My very own Nana Soup.
Now i know everyone will read this and think that their Nana is just the same. However in my opinion, not one person in the world compares to this great woman.

To begin with, Sue (Soup) Tilly-Galway is extremely intelligent. She is a wise woman who knows what she is talking about and knows what she wants. She is a fighter-a survivor. If Soup is unsure on something, she will investigate and experiment until she finds the answer. She is a fascinating woman who always has an interesting book on hand, or an interesting fact to get you going.

Not to mention she is feisty. ;) Don't mess with the Soup! If she believes something is wrong..she will not hesitate to tell you. Instead of giving you the "roses around the door", she will tell you if your doing something wrong, or if she doesn't believe what your doing is at your full potential etc. But along with that she gives you the best advice and keep you hopeful. She will help anyone who needs it and will put all of herself into helping you!

Overall, my Nana is amazing. One day i hope she realises that what she does, really helps people. Plus every once in a while she should take a moment for herself and make herself happy, instead of constantly making sure everyone around her is okay and managing.


Dear Nana Soup,

You are a beautifully talented woman! Sit back, relax and treat yourself every now and then. You deserve it! We all love you! <3 br="br">

Regrets...

Me and Samir..in Albany Mall, Auckland, New Zealand

Hey again!

This is more of a personal blog, about someone who i was once so close to. The experiences i had with the person, i will remember for the rest of my life and these experiences taught me to never take things for granted as one day it could be all gone.

This person was called Samir. He is an Algerian who lives in New Zealand. I met him in my first year of moving to New Zealand, and we did not get on at all. I still remember the first day we met, he was moved next to me in class and asked to borrow my pencils, from then on it was a massive roller coaster of a relationship.

We began getting close when i had lived in New Zealand, Auckland for about 6 months. He and his best friend Dylan would meet me as the beach and we would just hang out and fool around. One day we decided it would be fun to take the coastal walk around the North Shore beaches. This seemed like a good idea, until the tide came in and we found ourselves climbing over rocks with the sea bashing us around and destroying all our belongings. By the end of the little adventure we had survived but with bleeding legs, a broken Ipod and broken mobile phone.

Eventually Dylan and Samir drifted apart and it soon became me and Samir. We were best friends and spent pretty much everyday together. He could be mean to me and i could be mean back, it was just the way we worked. We would spend hours driving around listening to music (for example screaming "Airplanes" by B.O.B and Hayley Williams just so people around us would stop shouting etc etc..). My family also loved Samir, he pretty much lived at my house and we shared almost everything together. He was my best friend. If I'm honest, i don't think ill ever get as close to someone, or enjoy someones company as much as i did his.

However, after about a 3 year relationship of being so close i discovered i was moving back home, to England. The first reaction i had to this news was "What about Samir?". Soon after, i was feeling low down and being hurt once again by a moron of an ex boyfriend. One night he slashed the tires on my car, threw bricks at my window and then acted like nothing had happened. He lied to my family, his family and the police..denying everything. Samir was there for me through the entire time. One day he grabbed my hand in the car and just told me to scream as loud as i could..and we did. We then went on to singing "The best i never had" by Beyonce and relating it to my Ex boyfriend. Samir got me through that experience of heart break twice.

It then began to dawn on us both that i was leaving. We began being nasty to each other and getting angry at each other for silly reasons. I think we were both just hurt. Eventually it came to about 2 months before my departure from New Zealand. I was leaving my sister there who was settled down with her boyfriend and studying at uni. I had lost my best friend because of silly arguments that now i realise meant nothing and i was leaving everyone behind just like i did 4 years prior to this date (when i moved to England and left my entire family behind at the age of 14).

Me and Samir didn't even say goodbye to each other, we hadn't spoken in months and we left on such bad terms. I regret the way we both acted in my last few months in New Zealand. I left a person who i loved the most and spent all my time with for over 3 years with nothing but angry words. I regret doing this, as he meant so much to me, and i think he always will. We have began talking again, but it is not the same when he is on the other side of the world. He hurt me and i hurt him. I regret the fact that our 3 year friendship has come to such ruins because of stupid little arguments.

The experience however has taught me to not focus on the small things that don't matter, but to look ahead in the future and ask myself was it really worth it? Was the fight me and my best friend had really worth it in the end? I don't think so.

So, if you take anything from this rather personal blog today, i hope it is that don't take things for granted, and don't let you feelings and anger take over and ruin things that were once so great. Take a deep breath and rethink the situation. Put yourself in the other persons shoes.

Thanks for reading..any comments or similar stories, please feel free to comment :)

Always read the label..

Hey everyone :)


Just some quick advice that i would like to give. Make sure, before you put anything on your body..you read the bottle first!!

Today i got out of a nice relaxing shower, to find a brand new bottle of (what looked to me like moisturizer). So there i am, smothering it onto my bare skin. Feeling nice and fresh i head downstairs loving how the "moisturiser" smelt. When my mother asks me what i have used, she then goes on to tell me that it wasn't moisturiser..it was fake tan!!! I never wear fake tan, i don't like the stuff and i know it stains your hands etc....NOT COOL.

I realise i will go to sleep tonight feeling fresh, and wake up in the morning looking like an umpa lumpa with streaks down her hands and legs, not to mention i also rubbed some on my face. At least ill either entertain or scare a few people.


Wish me luck everyone...I'll let you know how it goes!

The Lucky One, review-Film and Book

Author: Nicholas Sparks
Director: Scott Hicks
(Film) Starring: Zac Efron, Taylor Schilling and Blythe Danner

One of my most loved writers is Nicholas Sparks, he is predictable yet writes with such emotion that every single piece of his writing has brought me to tears and made me laugh. His talent is then found by directors such as Scott Hicks, Julie Ann Robinson and Nick Cassavetes and then transformed into amazing motion pictures.

The Lucky One, is about a US Marine who in the middle of war finds a picture of a woman who noone in his Platoon seems to recognise. From the moment Logan, played by Zac Efron, finds this photograph his luck begins to change and he survives the worst of the wars, unlike most of his close friends and team. Soon, as predicted, Logan goes on a search for this mysterious woman and finds her in a small town in America living with her Nana. From then on a slow and very dramatic romance begins and audiences are once again drawn to the edges of their seats wondering what will happen next?!

The movie is a moving love story between two people who have lost and loved throughout their entire lives, however there is a huge secret threatening to break them apart. Will they survive the lies and secrets..or will their love deteriorate? Who knows..watch and see!

I personally loved the movie, it made me cry and i didn't want to turn away in case i missed anything, however the book was One hundred times better and more emotional. But then i always think the books are better than the movies!

Has anyone else watched or read The Lucky One? Whats your thoughts? I think it is well worth both the read and a good old watch...with a box of tissues at the ready!!

Till Point conversations...the conversations of my day..

My work ;)

I want to get one thing straight. Till point conversations are a requirement for me to keep my job. I work at WHSmith, and actually love my job. However i have to ask every single customer that i serve if they "would like any half price confectionery?" This then causes me to be shouted at by customers.


Point Number 1: If you do not want any chocolate just say no thank you.
Point Number 2: I understand the fact that "if you wanted chocolate, you would grab some and pay for it at the counter"
Point Number 3: I am sorry if you are on a diet, or you have to go to the dentist, but again why shout at me..just say no.
Point Number 4: Customers seem to come up with wonderful, rude excuses as to why it is so annoying that we have to ask-Put yourself in my shoes..to keep my job to pay my way to uni..i have to ask you, therefore be understanding of me and well its getting rather obvious what you have to say now if you don't want any confectionery!!

I believe people need to be more understanding of each other, and not be so rude. They should understand that no matter how many annoying questions are asked, people have to ask as it is in their job description. Workers have targets to meet, and most of the time the workers also hate the fact they have to ask the quesitons!

For example: Today, after asking a man if he would like any half price confectionery and listening to him rant on about how its disgusting behaviour and WHSmith is the reason "England is becoming obese". I, reluctantly said "that's fine, have a nice afternoon". Twenty minutes later, i went on my break and was sitting to myself on a bench eating a sandwich (Tuna and cucumber...yuumm!) When the awful man came and sat next to me (Lets take into consideration that there are many free benches available, not just the seat next to me). He sat right beside me and had another shouting fit to his friend about how annoying WHSmith is when all he wanted was a newspaper. He then looks at me with a ridiculous smile and farts the most violent fart i have ever heard in my life (very classy man of course) to the point where half the town are staring at him in disgust and the entire bench wobbles. A disgusting creature of a man who needs to learn to grow up, get a bath, have a shave and get over himself. Smelly creature!!

All he had to say was "No thank you" (Hahah, im sure you get the drift!)


What do you all think?

Prince Harry Royally Naked

Beautiful man..<3 td="td">

Hey everyone :)


Now i am sure you have all either heard about or seen the naked pictures of Prince Harry in LA? But why does everyone kick up such a fuss?

Do people not realise that the Prince is in his 20's, having a good time with his friends? I am sure everyone on this planet from the age of 14 upwards has had a picture of themselves doing something a little bit crazy with their friends? It just so happens that the Prince was born into a highly powerful family, so does this mean he should be more careful? I do not think so! The poor guy was having some fun on holiday, just like everyone does, and happens to have had a naked [rather wonderful ;)] picture of himself broadcasting around the internet and in the news. I dont believe his family, whom happen to be royal, should have to comment. Leave the man alone!

For instance, if you happened to have a picture of yourself broadcasted all over the internet whilst you were having fun on holiday...(OH! wait, we all do is called social networking sites!!) yet do we expect our parents to make comments and excuses for us....hmm i didnt think so. The Prince may be royal, (Royally gorgeous, i might add) but it does not mean that he can't have a life. Let the man live and have his fun whilst hes young and free.


Some people need to get over themselves and realise that the royal family are all humans just like us, who happen to have been born into a family of wealth and power. This should not stop them living.


On a nicer note: I am very happy to see naked pictures of Prince Harry because i think he is absoloutly gorgeous..and a tad amazing. People forget he fights for our country and what not...let the man have a moment to let his hair down and have some fun! P.S Harry can you invite me next time ;)

Be a dreamer...

Well hello :) (Just a quick blog)

So today i felt much happier, and ive decided that worrying about things will get you no where. I have fought so many hurdles to get the point where i am today. And so its time to fight some more and show what i can really do.

I believe if you wish hard enough, and try hard enough then you will achieve things you never knew you were capable of.

Therefore keep fighting and dreaming everyone...because one day it will be worth it!

False government ways...

"The political direction and control exercised over the actions of the members, citizens, or inhabitants of communities, societies, and states- Government" (Dictionary.com, 19/08/2012)

The United Kingdom is a country that promotes travelling. We are constantly watching and listening to competitions and advertisements for people to go overseas and see the world. However, what we do not realise is that when you do travel and have your own amazing life experiences, you become victimised in your own country and find yourself fighting one hurdle to get to an even larger one. Eventually, people like me get to the point where they start to doubt themselves and want to give up because each time the overcome a predicament and bigger one comes along and smacks you in the face-making it impossible to fight for your dreams, your life.

I have wanted to go to university since about the age of 13. I have overcome so many hurdles to get me to where i am today. I have been accepted for a three year journalism course at Falmouth University. I put up a constant fight to gain student finance after being declined. I was declined because i lived in New Zealand for four years beginning in 2008. However, the fact that i was born and raised for fourteen years in England, didn't seem to make a difference. I spoke to my local MP about my problem and i received two letters from the Houses of Parliament explaining there wasn't much i could do and they found my situation very unfortunate. Helpful government? I disagree strongly! Thankfully i managed to overcome that hurdle and managed to receive acceptance to my dream university and become eligible student finance.

The next hurdle has now arrived- Not only am i required to pay a three hundred pound deposit within in a week of receiving acceptance into the halls at university, but, my student finance maintenance loan does not cover my accommodation costs at the university. This means that by the 24th September i have to find seven hundred pounds to be able to stay at my university and get the true student life experience. This is a very large challenge for an eighteen year old girl who because of the recession can not find a full time job and therefore only works 20 hours a week. Not to mention the fact that i am also being deprived of a student loan account because i haven't been in my home country for the past three years, as i was travelling! Its a no win situation i believe. The government in my opinion need to rethink their policies on students.

In this century people want graduates for their business, successful people with degrees. How are businesses supposed to get what they want, when university fees are so high and impossible to reach?! I know I'm not the only one out there who has an issue with university fees. I am extremely grateful for the help the government gives by paying for your university fees in advanced as a loan, but why not make the loan for some students that little bit larger so that they can go to university they wish to and achieve what they dream to, without having such a pathetic issue such as money stopping them?

I will not give up, i will keep fighting until this matter is resolved. However i think the government needs to think more about the younger generation and their money matters in this recession. What middle-class eighteen year old in this day and age has around 15000 pounds to pay for university just in their first year?

NB: To those teenagers out there who have a similar issue to mine, keep fighting and don't let money get in the way of your dreams!
