Magical world of Disney!

Peter Pan...<3 p="p">

You're never to old to watch Disney!

In my opinion, no one is too old to watch a good old fashioned Disney movie. I think they were made for children for fun, and then for adults with humour and meaning.


I love Disney movies, and i don't know one person who doesn't! My favourite would have to be Peter Pan by far. Disney has also grown so far in society. Originally Disney movies were all about woman being damsels in distress who needed saving by the handsome male hero. However nowadays Disney has grown with society and we see more women heroes.

Disney is just magic! It also holds truth and myths behind it. I found that after studying Philosophy and classic studies on Ancient Greek and Roman society that Disney related a lot to the myths of the past. For example, when i was younger i watched Hercules thinking it was a typically fun movie about a girl and town that needed saving. However i then had to study the movie in 6th form studies and realised how much it related to Ancient Greek myths about the gods and where you/your spirit goes when you die. I love ancient Greek and Roman society, also a truly magical time to have been alive in! If i was asked if i could be reborn into any time and place, it would most definitely be in Ancient Greece, with philosophers such as Socrates and Plato.

Anyway, back to Disney..You can never be too old to sit in your pj's with blanket and some chocolate on a Saturday night watching the classic Disney movies such as: Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, Peter Pan, Mulan, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Hercules and lets not forget the true classic-Beauty and the Beast! <3 br="br">Love Love Love them!
Whats your favourite Disney movie?

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 :)

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!!
