2023, Healing
Dove have had a lot of hit and misses when it comes to their advertising campaigns. They challenged societies idea of beauty with their, ‘Real Women‘ campaign and then got a lot attention for retouching some of their adverts. Whoops. Then they released a Photoshop action which was supposed to undo all the retouching,…
I feel like I’m dealing with a friend who has a crush on me whenever I deal with Google+. Dear Google, We are great together. You make me so much more productive and I know that you’re the go-to guy whenever I’m lost, or need an answer about anything. In fact all the times…
How well have you memorised brand colours? My average score was 60% I felt bad then I realised that I had f.lux enabled (doi) and I had no idea what colour the Apple logo actually is. 3.14 didn’t really help my average!
There will be spoilers, so if you don’t want to encounter spoilers, then you probably shouldn’t read any of this. I can’t remember what I was watching or where I saw it, probably flicking through channels one day, but however it happened I came across a video clip for this movie. Rashida Jones…
I did it you guys, I applied. I felt really sick the whole time I was filling out the boxes, to be honest I’m 90% sure that I filled it all out incorrectly and they won’t know how to contact me, oh my god what is my name?! -slap- Okay, be cool Deborah, they’re…
When I left to go visit Ghana, I left knowing that the internet wouldn’t be super stable when I was out there. I knew I was heavily reliant on the internet but I didn’t realise just how reliant I was till I was browsing one day, the connection dropped and all the media I was…
The guy who plays Harrison is perfect! If you haven’t already started watching Scandal, you should stop reading and go watch it!
This Church in Newcastle is one of the nicest, friendliest and welcoming places I’ve been to. It’s rare that I walk into a church and enjoy myself so thoroughly. Plus, the Easter Bunny lives here, so.
A few months ago I was browsing Tumblr and I saw this hilarious gif set of Rebel Wilson on the set of her new movie Pitch Perfect and I couldn’t help but laugh. I watched the trailer and laughed some more, and from that I was pretty much sold. Tumblr is great for movie and…
2013 is the year of #birthdayswag, not because I got a lot of presents, but because I had the best birthday weekend, ever. You know when you think of a super thoughtful gift and right after you give it you think, “Oh balls” because there is no way you can ever top it? Well I hope…
Baller. I feel awful thouvh. I’ve missed two practical lessons and one classroom, so I’m behind on my progress. It’s because I’ve been legit ill, honest! It bums me out a little, but I’ll deal. I have to pass before I leave. Gonna turn drop that learner title in no time.
Thanks for asking 🙂 I drove my mom around the estate and she complimented my driving. That made me feel really good. The person I’d really like to impress is my father. Largely because the last time I tried to drive him anywhere I stalled, cried and he had to drive us home. Hawkward. I…
Currently sat at home trying to plan out this application. I only have a month till the deadline. I’m super nervous and I keep trying to convince myself that pushing the deadline again would be stupid. If I try and I fail then I failed. It’s so bizarre, this fear of failing thing that I…
My mom and I baked cheese scones. This is a much much better attempt at baking than my earlier fairy cakes. These are so tasty. I like them a bit burnt but no one else does so I’ll have to make do. ^___ ^
I’ve been watching a lot of Cartoon Network, and I forgot how cute the floating hat was on the Mayor in the Powerpuff Girls. :3
I’ll upload more pictures when I get back to England, but till then ill try and upload an interesting picture every once in a while. This place is huge, every bedroom is en suite and has a fan and an air conditioning unit. It’s wonderful.
Life is going pretty well. I felt I should write something now that my internet is pretty okay. Week one is over! It was a pretty intense week, I felt all sorts of homesick and hand a few panic attacks but I think know I’m okay now. I’m finally getting into the swing of life…
Do you know your colours? Trying to do this while someone is distracting you on Skype is probably not the smartest thing I did but it was still a pretty neat way to spend some time. Took me a while to realise what I was supposed to do and I’m ashamed to say it took…
Ermagad you guys! I’m leaving for Ghana in like two days, and I haven’t packed a single thing. I’m leaving for six weeks! I should be way more panicked than this! Instead, I’ve been shopping for things to buy, which is way more fun. Pretty clothing > Packing. I know I’ll have to pack eventually,…
# c’mon boy, come see about me# I’ve been listening to this song on loop, and it’s put me in a great mood.
If you haven’t watched this show, then you should get on it right away. It’s so funny! I’m 10 minutes in and I had to pause it to give my sides a break!
Its snowing outside!
I used to think in life there was no powerful motivator than people doubting you. Right now at this very moment, I’ve never been more encouraged by someone telling me they believe in me.
(I’m probably going to say something that’s a spoiler. If I do, I’m sorry, but it’s been so many years now and it really is your own fault. It’s like ruining the end of Titanic at this point. SPOILER: The ship sinks.) When LOST ended I was angry. I was angry at the ending, and I was…
I went to the gym today, it was pretty intense. The Boyfriend has been bugging me for months to go with him to work out and I’ve been avoiding it. Why? He used to row for his college, in Oxford. Yeah that’s right, a rower, I’m dating a rower, for Oxford. He’s in really really…
I don’t really do resolutions, because I always go ‘big’, become unable to maintain it and then feel bad and discouraged when I inevitably crash. This year, I’ve picked smart and attainable goals. I’m sure there are more things that I want to accomplish in 2013, places that I want to visit, things that…
I was about to go to sleep, honest, but then I stumbled upon this wonderful video. It’s a simple to follow step by step guide to making one of the most tasty snackfoods I’ve been lucky to encounter. It’s so good, I don’t think I can do it justice. It looks just like I remember…
Had lunch with Lucy at Byron Burger today. It was so good, I couldn’t finish everything. We ate slowly and walked around for a while after but I still feel so stuffed. Note to self: Milkshakes make you full. Stop trying to do both!
Happy New Year! It’s afternoon and I slept most of the morning and I feel great! The sun is shining, and I’m excited for what 2013 is going to bring!
I struggle with my weight and I struggle with food. I love to eat, I love snacks but I’ve had to come to the horrible conclusion that I can’t eat whatever I want whenever I want and be skinny. I’m not one of those people, I have to watch what I eat not to become…
When I got the Samsung Galaxy Note I was pretty thrilled, it had everything I needed in the phone and while everyone was debating whether or not the screen size was an issue, to me it was simply perfect. Even when the Galaxy Note II arrived in stores I wasn’t phased, I love my first…
Ermagad, I thought these pictures were lost forever due to the unfortunate memory card incident. But it turns out that I in my infinite wisdom decided to back up my memory card.. at some point this year. I can’t exactly pinpoint the moment that I ascended into the realm of the gods and performed this wonderful action, but I’m glad…
You guys are awesome. Everyone who follows me, and everyone who comments, tweets at me and hangs out with me online. You’re cool. I hope you’re all having an awesome holiday period, and 2013 is going to be awesome! Hugs and stuffs, Khaleesi ^o^
I woke up to the rain, it’s so awful outside but I’m feeling good. Because hugs that’s why. Because rainbows and happy thoughts. I woke up today hopeful and optimistic about the future instead of angry and resentful of my life. I’m happy with WordPress, I’m happy with the way things are working out, I’m…
I quit my job. I had to, retail was sucking the life out of me. So what’s next eh? It’s time to put on my big girl panties and get a real job. Something that fulfils me and pays well would be great. So now I’m being productive and building my portfolio, with WordPress. I’m sorry Tumblr!…
I could never be anything else but a monogamist. Saying that, I can see the appeal in polyamory where multiple people love each other and are committed to each other. It sounds nice, the idea that you can get everything that you need from multiple people and they’ll all be okay with it. Why struggle to…
I was watching Glee today (shut up don’t judge me) and this song came on: and I had to know where it came from! My first thought was that it was some obscure musical that I’d never heard of, so I used my Google-fu and found out that it was just the Scissor Sisters! The…
Have I said this before? I hate the snow because in this country everyone acts like the snow is this mystical thing that’s never happened before and no-one reacts to it on time. No-one wants to admit that clearing it is their responsibility, so it never gets cleared. Then people get hurt, and no-one accepts…
aremay: Today is International Men’s Day, with the theme this year being focused on men and health issues. In a world where average life expectancy for men remains lower than for women in the majority of countries on the planet, where the victims of war are still overwhelmingly male and where finding good male role…
salamedic: Wish I could hug you right now. I know that things are going better with you lately and you really deserve to be happy! Please stay happy, you’re an amazing person. ❤ Thank you. Even just your well wishes are wonderfully encouraging. It’s been a hard few months for me, trying to deal with…
Not sure what I listened to to get this suggestion, I felt a little offended at first.. but then I realised that I actually really like this song. 😦 Forgive me?
I’m not sure if I could respect the warning label.
When I first saw the trailer for Think Like a Man, I dismissed it as ‘Cosmoshit’. You know, bad advice masquerading as good advice, that promises women the opportunity to unlock the secrets of the male mind. I rolled my eyes at the premise of the whole thing, because see, I was enlightened. I bought…
I think I’ve been spoiled by Valve. When I buy a game through Steam, I can download the program anywhere I like as many times as I like, and install the games I’ve paid for as many times as I like. It. Is. Awesome. Especially as a laptop gamer who is running Windows 7 64bit. Sometimes…
I’ve seen gifs of this show all over my dash for a while now, and I thought it looked cool. Never really paid it any real attention till about last night. I have now watched every single episode. GRAVITY FALLS IS THE BEST SHOW IN THE WORLD. Seriously, you need to get all up on…
My phone has been acting pretty buggy, so Orange sent me out a new one. Unfortunately for me, it arrived at the later end of the delivery window, meaning I was in a big rush getting ready for work. -sigh I took out everything but the micro SD card. I’m in bits, I can’t even…
당신같이 친절한 사람은 처음이예요. I think that’s why everything is so muddled. … 다시 만납시다. ~
