Book, Music, Youtube

So I'm back from DisneyLand Paris and I had a great time with Emma and Stacey! We spent five days there and four night, although we had some trouble getting there at first as our flight had been cancelled and so we had to wait for a later one meaning we missed a day in disney, but no matter we still got there and we had tons of fun!




Now some of you who read this blog may not know that I make vlogs and upload them on to youtube. Well what does this mean? I make videos about topics, ask and answer questions and interact with those who post comments. I have uploaded a video about our disney trip, so if your interested go watch it, give it a thumbs up, leave a comment and if you like what you see subscribe.

Anyway, this is just a quick update blog, I'm back at university on sunday (finally!) and I'll be settled back and will be able to sit down and write down proper blogs again. My summer job has ended but I'm happy to report they will be taking me back on at christmas, so for a while I'll have to pay for the films I see at the cinema again but I'll keep up with my review blogs :)

At the moment I'm reading Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert



I picked up the book as its all about traverling and as I've only got one year left of university left I'm starting to wonder what I'm going to do once its over, and traverling has always been a dream of mine since I was a little kid so this book really appealed to me. My worry was that the book was going to be to 'girly' and while yes I think there are a few times where a female reader could connect more with the writer than a male I think over all both genders can enjoy it. I've almost finished the book and its certainly had its ups and downs. Its the true story of Elizabeth as she has gone threw her divroce and breaking up with a lover and leaving it all behind to spend a year away in Itaily, India and Bali. I love the part when she is in Italy, she really enjoys her self and you really feel like your with her, enjoying all the food the way as she goes. The part in India was a little bit more harder for me to get through, I know the book is about her struggle with fidning her place spiritually and dealing with her past but sometimes her negativity is a little bit to much and I know shes been threw a lot but I felt as if it was getting a little old, I felt like saying to her 'stop repetiting yourself and get over it, your in a wonderful, beautful place in the world, just find peace with yourself' which is to be fair what she basically says to her sefl (eventually). I'm now in Bali and so far it looks like its going to be a nice balence of what was good about Italty and the harder reading in India which I suppose is a good thing, as is life, ying and yang good and bad, finding a balence we can work with.

  1. I just started reading Eat Pray Love a few days ago, and it's quietly become a guilty pleasure of mine. Still on Italy, and it's definitely making me want to go to Italy. I love traveling and the book is like this fantastic revelation of what traveling can do for people. Anyway I started following your blog a few weeks ago, I'm not just some random passer by.
