So-called friends

Ciao a tutti! It's been quite a while since I last updated my blog and I'm having one of those nights where I'm deep in thought and writing, well typing, it down seems to somehow help with it all. There are times when I feel really strong and passionate about a certain thing and I feel that I have to let it out which you'll see within this post. So it's currently 12.46am and I'm merely reflecting on my life as a whole and the people that are in it, as you do at such a time. 

I'm sure that the majority of you have heard the quote "You can count your true friends on one hand" and I guess you can say that I've really learnt the realness to this. People will never fail to surprise you and it sucks when you realise that those people you once considered to be a close friend are by far the people you know the least about. Sometimes you think you really know someone but situations arise and you come to learn that you never really knew them. I've also found that the older I've gotten the harder I find it is for me to trust people. I guess in a way this is actually a blessing in disguise because the people I do trust I appreciate and respect them so much and truly value them as a friend.

I know that there may be some who read this and think WELL DUH! THIS IS LIFE but I can't deny that certain things that people do really irritate me and can put me in an extremely foul mood. I get pissed easily and I'm short-tempered. Merrrr! I really don't understand why some people are so concerned about the business of others and will go out of their way to find out as much as they can. Anyways I'm rambling (again) and I just wanted to end this by saying that I really do believe that one of the most important things you can do throughout your life is to be nice towards those people around you. After all there's no point in being mean.

Californian themed leaving party

Ciao a tutti! On Saturday evening I went to my friend's leaving party as she's moving to California in about two weeks for an entire year. I'm extremely proud of her as she has been accepted into Berkeley University to study Law. Wow, right? So anyways the theme of the party was obviously going to be Cali related and although the obvious idea of Katy Perry came to mind I wasn't really up for dressing as her. Instead I was planning on firstly going as Marilyn Monroe, then Natalie Wood who played Maria in West Side Story and eventually I came to the conclusion that I would wear what I usually wear and state that I was a member of 'Cali Swag District' purely because I could go dressed up casually. Smart move right? LOL

 

Ciao! Xoxo

Story of my life.

Rhodes 2012 ♥

On the evening of the 13th of June I flew out from Stansted Airport to the Greek island of Rhodes. It also just happened to be my birthday and I was looking forward to spending the next two weeks having an unforgettable time with two of my closest friends, Yasi and Victoria, for we had planned this holiday for an entire year.

We stayed in a town North of the island called Kallithea. There wasn't too much going on here except a few places to eat, bars (which were dead) and some mini-markets but fortunately we were only a short bus ride away to Rhodes (or Rodos) Town so we took full advantage of this. Anyone who happens to visit Rhodes and takes a trip to Rhodes (or Rodos) Town MUST visit the old town within it.

The Old Town is absolutely beautiful and the type of place which you'll instantly fall in love with. It was bustling with tourists trying to capture every aspect of it with their cameras, authentic souvenir shops and café's. At night it is home to the young Greek locals who spend their time socialising at its many bars or dancing at the amazing Cuban 'Todo Bien Latin Bar' which could easily be mistaken for something out of Dirty Dancing 2. You are greeted with people dancing without a care in the world on the cobble street to the enchanting and hip-swaying music. I was literally hypnotized by it all as I'm a massive fan of Latin music and I love dancing so to visit such a place was amazing. Working at the bar is a professional Brazilian dancer who can move like no man you've ever seen before. I really cannot express how fortunate I feel to have been  shown this place by two of our Greek friends and I would recommend it to anyone and everyone.

We also ventured to the nearby town of Faliraki which really wasn't our cup of tea and so didn't revisit it after that one night out. Just to give you a brief idea if you've ever watched 'Sun, Sex and Suspicious Parents' it's one of those places. Don't get me wrong there's nothing wrong with such a place but it just wasn't to our fancy because A) I don't like being hassled to "COME INTO OUR BAR" as I walk by a place and B) No-one really knew WTF they were doing there.

The two weeks flew by and before we knew it we was saying our saddened goodbyes to the many lovely friends we had made knowing that we would probably never see them again. Grrr! That's the one thing that sucks about meeting people on holiday :( Oh and before we knew it we arrived in London to a week of rain :/

Lol anyways I hope I haven't bored you nor put you to sleep by my rambling so here are a few pictures that I took. Enjoy!
