Happy New Year!!!

I always expect New Years to be great, I expect a massive party with loud music, fireworks and everyone around. I'd stay up till the early hours of the morning and then go to bed at some ridiculous time then finding myself waking up 3 hours later. Does this really happen though? No, I wish!
In reality New Years is pretty dull, it's built up with all these people saying they'll have parties but then suddenly they're cancelled and you're left thinking of a way to spend it. Eventually you give up, you have nothing to do so you prepare yourself for spending New Years in bed watching the fireworks on the telly at midnight.

But again it never turns out like this.
It get's to New Years Eve and you tell yourself you'll stay up most of the night and you'll watch all of the fireworks and finally you will ring someone just to have a little celebration with someone else.
Well again, this doesn't happen.
On New Years Eve you switch on the tv at 11:30 just so you're sure you don't miss the fireworks, you stay up watching a show and you're getting more and more tired. Then at about 11:59 you finally give up and go to sleep.
New Years almost never turns out how you've planned it.
Neither does the whole year, everyone almost always says "This year is going to be 1000000x better than the last" but this is never true.
It's like a domino effect the same thing happens every New Year, we seem to notice it but never do anything about it.

A Flash Of Light

Last night I was laying in bed blogging, I wasn't paying attention to anything around me suddenly I saw a big flash of light, I just thought it was my light playing up so I took no notice of it. Then I heard rumbling, the sound was getting louder and louder it stopped then seconds after the biggest bang erupted, I sat up catching my breathe again, it had felt like my heart stopped it was that surprising I stopped blogging and left them room and ran to "safety", it seems stupid now but at the time I wouldn't have done anything else. After a few minutes of collecting myself I return to my room the find my cat had scurried under the bed being just as scared as I was. I sat down to start blogging again more conscience of what was happening around me, I could hear the heavy rain smashing down on the conservatory and the howling of the wind.......THEN BAM!!! another boom and crash of thunder, I figured I'd get no sleep tonight, so I finished up what I was writing and closed my laptop.
I was laying in bed and I got a text from my friend, she told me that she'd got a power cut - I was lucky enough not too - and that she was extremely scared, I read on and finding out what she was scared about made me chuckle a little, then worry, she was scared of The Grudge - if you don't know what The Grudge is I'll briefly explain, it's a film based in Japan, it's a horror (at this point I won't go into depth), it all starts off with a man killing his cat, wife and child, he then kills himself, a few people enter the building where it happened wanting to buy the house, although not knowing what has happened, the house is cursed by The Grudge, The Grudge is made up of the women and child, so after entering the house you are cursed and The Grudge then comes out to find you and kill you, no one can explain it. So anyway I finished reading the text a little more frightened than before.
I ended up laughing about the whole thing, telling myself I was stupid, I found it quite funny really.

The Perfect Image

What really is "The Perfect Image", is there really a perfect image.
We all want to look different and however much you say you don't there's a little part of you that you want to change. We all aren't perfect, that's why we look for the perfect image and our image of perfect is different to someone else's. As I write this I think of a number of things I want to change about myself and then I think of a number of people I would really love to look like, there's always a celebrity that you know inside think you wish you looked like them.
Sometimes I think that thoughts like this just make me feel worse about myself and that it makes me notice what I don't like about myself more, and then it makes me think what can I change - do I really want to be thinking about plastic surgery.
I'm lucky to only think about changing minor few bits of my body, but what about people that want to change everything, how do they cope, I myself would never be able to live like that not liking one bit of my body, so in a sense I'm lucky.
Honestly I don't think there is a perfect image, in our heads there may be, can we really define perfect? Maybe even the people you find perfect have insecurities and maybe that's why most celebrities choose plastic surgery because they feel pressure to be perfect.
I think perfect is a term that can't really define anyone or anything, we throw the word around without it having a true meaning and that's probably what makes everybody so image obsessed.
There is no such thing as a perfect image so whatever insecurities you have, don't let them get to you, just think, you may be perfect to someone else and you're perfect in your own way.

TV Advertisements

Let's be honest who enjoys TV adverts, I certainly don't. They're just so inconvenient, you're halfway through watching a movie and then boom, straight to an advert ruining the suspense and build up of the movie.
I have 2 opinions on TV adverts, at first I see them as a pointless waste of time, helping add to the electricity bill and making you want to spend money on things you don't need, eventually giving in to the temptation of the product, but then I look deeper into what the point in adverts are and I realise that without adverts what would we have, we might not have our beloved toaster or kettle, we might miss our favourite programmes on  TV.
We all say that adverts are pointless but really they're not, they do have a meaning to them, basically what I'm trying to say is we wouldn't be where we are without adverts, you may disagree but that's how I see it.

Sundays

Sundays are probably everyone's favourite day, just the thought of having a relaxing day makes everyone light up.
I myself love Sundays, a nice relaxing bubble bath lit by scented vanilla candles and just being able to relax. Most people appreciate their Sunday nights, they stay at home watching Sunday night television although being the worst night for television programmes you always seem to enjoy it, or you enjoy a good film.
This Sunday I decided instead of being boring and watching the same programmes I always did I watched a film. I watch a film called CyberBully at first I though I really wouldn't enjoy it because it didn't sound interesting to me, how wrong was I!!!
This film is probably one of the best films I have ever watched. Although being enjoyable that's not what made it so amazing, it was the factual part of it, the harsh truth about it, that's what I loved.
During the film we meet a girl, her mum is very strict doesn't let her on the internet without knowing what she's doing or who she's talking to etc. but we are introduced to the girl on her 17th birthday, her mum buys her a laptop, gives her some freedom. The girl and some mates set up a profile a bit like facebook but according to them better, her crush from school adds her and so does this stranger she's never met that goes to school with her friends cousin, she doesn't think anything of it so she adds him. Throughout the whole film the girl and her friends are harassed/bullied by a girl at school. Well the next day she sees someone posted something weird on her profile, she gets upset about it and tells her mum because she's obviously never come across things like this before. Her mum tells her to change her password etc then advises her to take her profile down, the next day her mum discovers she hasn't and takes her laptop then she finds out her brother posted the status, soon enough things escalate and now this James boy she didn't know is saying things about her which aren't true, her mum this time tells her to delete her profile but again she doesn't. Things get worse and worse and soon enough this girl is ready to commit suicide, she post a video online, her friend comes home to see it and luckily arrives in time to stop her. This girl so gets help and starts to get better and better although still being bullied throughout the duration, she finally discovers this James guy she didn't know was her bestfriend taking revenge. She eventually gets back to school and forgives her friend realising she is going through the same as what has happened to her, she confronts the girl who has been bullying her and stands up telling her she's putting people through what she's been through.
This film defiantly pulled on my heart strings and I felt tears in my eyes, after I'd watched this film I had no idea why it wasn't a box office smash.
I would really recommend everyone to watch it, it really made me think more and more about tings and it made me stronger in a sense.
