My Zodiac sign- Pisces

So I was talking to one of my family member and somehow we started talking about our signs and mine is Pisces and my family member didn't know what his was so he googled it and found this cool website and it described his characteristics spot on. So I was like "Could you look up Pisces?" I was shocked because some of the things that were said were so accurate. I don't really take the signs seriously but it was so accurate about me that I had to write about it.

Here are my strengths:
-Compassionate
- Adaptable
- Accepting
- Devoted
- Imaginative

I don't know, it's hard to acknowledge you're positives...so I don't really know about this...moving on.

Here are my negatives:
-Oversensitive (Yes, I have to agree with that one)
- Indecisive (Spot on, with my career, I can't decide, I change my mind so much)
- Self-pitying - (Well, I don't know about this, lol)
- Lazy - (I put my hands up, I am sometimes,lol)
- Escapist ( I had to Google this and find out what it means "someone who escapes into fantasy." This is 50/50 I guess, but it does have some truth to it.

Here are some quotes that I thought were spot on about me: (Why do I keep saying spot on,lol)

When they are independent and inspired by life's events, their creativity comes shining through (True) but they are unable to be on their own for long before they start dreaming in their imaginary world of happy people and happy endings. (So true, the amount of times I day dream of happy ending and other things are crazy) They need other people to keep them grounded and on the right track.

Pisces will go out of their way to help a friend. They are extremely sensitive and loyal. (This is also true, I have found myself going out my way to help my close friends but I have come to realise that I am quite sensitive because with someone else they won't care about some situations but I will. That's my down fall I guess.)

Pisces does not take well to a position of leadership or high business person, they are too sensitive and lacking in self-discipline and lacking self-confidence for a positions such as that. (That is true, I have never been one for being a team leader or anything like that) What they are good at is writing, acting, poetry, or being musicians. (I think writing and maybe acting is sort-off my thing)

Pisces are excellent at anything that tugs at the heart strings and mystical/spiritual. They are extremely creative and can use their skills of creativity and their understanding of people to inspire others. Unfortunately, most Pisces take the easy way out in life and never attain the degree of fame that they possibly could, they have to stop self-doubting themselves because they are capable of being good role models and leaders to others, people do look up to them. (Inspirational or what, I love writing because I am able to imagine things and bring them to life but then there's fear and the fact that writing was not in my plan of life...so their right for me to write it is so much harder than just taking a step back and going to uni, job, family Done)

They have extreme compassion and they feel the pain of others. If something is wrong in the world that affects them, it affects them deeply, they take it to heart and feel extreme feelings regarding the matter. When they are happy, they are extremely happy and when they are sad, they are extremely depressed. (How true this whole paragraph is)

Pisces have an intuitive and psychic ability more then any other zodiac signs. They trust their gut feelings and if they do not, they quickly learn to because they realize that their hunches are usually correct. (This, this right here is the truth because there were times when I was meant to do something or go out somewhere and I would have this bad feeling and before I would ignore it and go anyways but then when I would go it would either be boring or a negative situation that I could not have even imagined would occur with someone. So then when I had a bad feeling I would say no I am not doing it and I would feel relief and I would have good day. So this is spot on the dot.)

I have just realised that you will learn a bit more me and also my downfalls with this post. But it's interesting to know that these things that you do are you. I never used to really believe in these signs but the way some of these things are soo true about me...it makes me believe it a bit more.

Something Borrowed Movie review

Rate:★★★★
Length: 1 hour, 43 minutes
Where: Cinema
Age: 12
Genre: Romance

I haven't been to the cinema in a while and I saw the trailer of this movie and it looked interesting so me and my friends decided to go and see this movie yesterday.

Pro's- I really liked the storyline, it wasn't predictable and it was really interesting to watch. Also it really makes you think about if you were in that situation because if someone cheats on you with your best friend you not only lose you're fiancé but you also lose your best friend...which isn't good. I am against cheating but then it's like they love each other and they could be soul mates but then what do you do, choose your soul mate or you're best friend?

The film surprisingly had it's funny moments, which had me cracking up and also let's not forget Mr hunk. Colin egglesfield who was the man in the middle of the best friends started to look hot at the middle of the film and you just fall in love with him at the end,lol.



Con's- Yes, one negative I would say would be the best friend...Don't want to spoil it but as you watch the film it becomes sooo obvious that the best friend loves the girl....It's always the same thing the male friend gives advise to the girl chasing some dude, when he secretly loves the girl himself.....so I just thought him being in love with her was pointless really...But that's about it for the negatives.

Would I reccomend it? ---- It depends on the type of films you like, but if you like a bit of romance and comedy then Yes, I reccomend this film.

Adele singer speaks about her figure, weight

I love Adele's music and after watching the graham norton show were she was a guest, I liked her personality as well. She seems like a funny, down to earth kind of person, which is very rare in the music biz.

Here is a bit from Adele's interview in Q magazine:

Someone Like You singer Adele also spoke about how she has come to terms with her figure, and has no intention of slimming down by dieting or hitting the gym.

She said: 'I never fell under that spell. I'm a size 16, normal.

'But I wouldn't encourage anyone to be unhealthy overweight just as much as I wouldn't encourage a f***ing Ralph Lauren model to suck ice when she feels like fainting.

'I'm just encouraging people to stop bullying each other. I've got a lot of things on my to-do list and that's right at the bottom. When I can squeeze in time, I don't want to go down the f***ing gym, I want to go to the pub with my mates.

'I can't be bothered. It's not even lazy, it's just other things thrill me in life.'

I luv this because she's living her life and her weight isn't a problem because most of the women who are not seen as being slim have all lost weight and made a lot of money from it, some using weight-watchers, surgery and just exercising and diets...It's a shock to see a women like Adele who hasn't gone on a diet and lost all the weight...

But imagine if she lost the weight. If you go on her video "rolling in the deep," there are a lot of comments about her weight but I think it's part of her package, who she is and I think she would lose her spark if she lost the weight, but if she loses it to make her feel better or health reasons then thats fine.

An example, for what I am talking about is jennifer hudson, she lost 80Ib and to me I might be wrong but she lost that extra part of her that made her special. That made us love her in Dream girls, wow, when she sang And I am telling you, I almost cried. But now she's boring and she is no different to Beyonce, Ciara, Rihanna, Keri hilson...

Also the funny thing is she's lost all this weight and her album is not doing as well as her first, even with all this promo but then you have Adele who probably wears the same dress size that Jennifer used to have before the weight loss and she is breaking records and she is touching people's hearts with her voice, music and talent. However, if Jennifer wasn't happy with her body and it made her misery then it's good she lost the weight and she is happy now that she has lost the weight. But it would be sad if she was put under pressure to lose the weight by the media or she lost the weight for more publicity because she was on weight-watcher ads on tv, she was on every fitness, diet, healthy eating, tabloid magazine talking about her weight and that's a lot of money to gain from losing weight.


Which goes on with what Adele also said in Q magazine:

One of the most refreshing qualities about Adele is that, unlike many of today's music stars, she has never succumbed to the commercial side of the industry.

And the London-born star insists she will never lend her name to a product.

She explained: 'I think it's shameful when you sell out.

'It depends on what kind of artist you wanna be but I don't want my name anywhere near another brand.

'I don't wanna be tainted or haunted - I don't wanna sell out in any way.'

'I don't come from money and I'm not fussed by money.

'I like nice things now I've got it but I'd still be alive and healthy and a good person if I didn't have money now.

'But if I was money-driven, I'd be very excited about the money coming in.

'I'd be the face of full-fat Coke. Get another million in the bank.'

Having a bad day!!!

You know when I woke up this morning I didn't think I would feel the way I feel now, that I would feel so down and you can't shake it off or completly forget about it.

It all started at home were someone was just having their own mood swings and just taking it out on anyone and I could take that and I got ready for my day out for college and that was a mess and it was just a shock at what occured and it made me feel so bad that I just can't deal with certain people anymore.

Then when you are tired from you're day and work and all the BS you get home and then there's someone else who's ready to argue and all that BS. Funny how this ishh always happens on the same day...Always!!

It would have alright if you go to work, college, school whatever and you have a bad day then you come home to loving nice people but if it's both places you have no where to just relax, forget and ease the tention...then what chance did you have. I know it's nothing compared to what other people in world might be going through but I feel down and unhappy right now and maybe I will be able to read this in the future and have memories of the shizz I had to experience.

I will get over it, we all have bad days and you know life isn't easy...but you get on with it.

In tribute to my bad day today, here's Daniel Powter - Bad Day

Beyonce- Run The World (Girls) Official video review

First off I wanna talk about the song...It's not her best...I liked pon de floor but the lyrics on this song im not feeling aswell...I don't know...Even though I don't like the song I think it has a great message that empowers women. That is something Beyonce has always done, she does songs that empower women and not degrade them, e.g. independent women, single ladies, bills bills bills and so on.

But I have just seen the video and it's been on replay...I love the video. The dancing is amazing...I love how she brought a bit of african culture into it...What I love about this is you know she gives it 1000% and her drive and hard-works shows thats why she's still doing her thing to this day...She doesn't need to dye her hair red, kiss a girl or even sing about religion to make her music good...She just shows her talent...People think sells = talent...nooo...No other female artist can touch Beyonce...she's just amazing...

Room by Emma Donoghue Book Review

RATE:★★★
Pages: 401
Author:Emma Donoghue
Published: January 2011

I came home early one day and when I switched on the TV there was the TV book club and they were talking about this book. From the description of the story it seemed interesting so I said let me just get it and thats what I did. On the book there are 22 reviews from magazines to people so this is a popular book, so I am just going to give my little review.

This book is basically about Jack who is five years old and has always lived in Room with his mother because she was kidnapped and trapped in that room by a man called Old Nick.

Pro’s- The way the author writes this book as a five year old is amazing and when you finish the book you will be like it had to be written from the child’s prospective and not the mothers. I liked the story…It was original and it gave you an inside of what actually can happen in that situation…even though there have been stories in newspapers of this kind of thing this is much vivid. I also enjoyed reading about the bond with the mother and child. In the room their bond is really close and special.

It’s really a book that you can’t put down, you want to know what will happen next and the little boy kind-off melts you’re heart, his so cute. I read this book in 2 days.

Cons- Most of the first chapter was honestly not interesting, not much really happened…it was just dragging along…but it was readable but not that interesting but I guess you have to read the first chapter to understand the characters more and their story. Also the last chapter after all the action kind of dragged. It was just a repeat of the same thing like describing a chair in great detail and then describing a table in the same way but different concept….I don’t want to ruin it, lol…but after a while in the last chapter it just feels like you are reading the same thing just in different environments but I just carried on to just finish the book but readable chapter but not great as the other chapters.

Would I recommend this book?? Yes, I feel like after reading this book you will learn something about yourself.

Malissa Jones: Once Britains fattest teen now fighting anorexia

How in the world does that happen, this story is very sad but also it opens a lot of people's eyes to the truths of surgery because everytime there is a show about a person 6 tonnes or world's fattest this or that. They show you how much they eat and how it saddens their family and then the surgery and the quick weight loss. But they don't show you how many people lose their lives at these surgeries...how many people are unhappy about their bodies after.

Here is Malissa's story:

A woman who was once Britain's fattest teenager is now battling with anorexia after her life was turned upside down by a gastric bypass operation.

Malissa Jones, 21, lost so much weight that she now tips the scales at just 8 stone. Four years ago, before her surgery, doctors were warning her that she had to take drastic action after ballooning to 34 stone.

They warned her she had to shed 20 stone or would die within months. Now the pendulum has swung the other way for Malissa, from Selby, North Yorkshire with doctors now warning she could die in six months unless she increases her food intake.

The sad thing is she is only 21 years old....But I feel like her being labelled as Britains fattest teen probably had a negative impact on her mentally because it is horrible to be called fat or names by people at school or work...where ever but when the whole country sees you as the fattest teen it must be horrific and she probably just wanted to lose the weight and the label quickly go away.

I also think that some of the medical proffession's don't handle the situation very good at all because imagnie someone telling you...if you don't lose 20 stones you will die. The truth of the matter is I doubt she would have died in six months because she didn't just wake up one morning and she was 34 stones. They should have supported her and guided her on to ways she could have SLOWLY lost the weight and not scared her into thinking that having surgery was the only way she would have lost the weight to save her life in only 6 months.

Malissa was the youngest person in the world to have a stomach bypass when surgeons performed the £10,000 NHS operation in January 2008.

She consumed 15,000 calories a day from gorging on chocolate, crisps and junk food - seven and a half times the recommended 2,000 calories for a girl of her age. But parents Richard and Dawn were unable to stop her food cravings.

A day's food included about eight Mars bars, 10 packets of crisps, several sandwiches and takeaways from the local chippie. I spent all my pocket money on food.

'I was only happy when I was eating,' she told Closer Magazine

15,000 calories that's a lot and I feel like instead of having surgery they should have encourged her to do more sports like swimming, walking or riding a bike. 3 times a week. It's fun...she would have lost weight and all the skin around her body would still look good not like now. Also instead of saying 15000 calories to 2.000 they could have slowly introduced healthier foods and she could still eat what she wanted....Also councelling would have been good because she said eating made her happy...why? What made her sad...bullying/ family issues. It would have taken her years to lose 20 stones but she would have gained so much more and she would be truelly healthy...

'I know it sounds ungrateful, but I preferred my body when I was fat,' the 19-year-old said.

'At least it was firm and curvy, not droopy and saggy. I had nice firm arms - now the skin just hangs and I have to cover them up because they look so awful.'

'I hoped being slimmer would mean I could wear a bikini and go swimming, but I'm too ashamed of my body.

After she miscarried a baby at 15 weeks, Malissa was distraught when doctors told her she is unlikely to carry a baby full term as her scarred stomach can't take the pressure of a growing uterus.

That is one of the worst things a women could hear...you can't have anymore children...Sooo many horrible things at only the age of 21 years old. To wake up and exercise 3 times a week is not hard and to have 1 or 2 mars bar instead of 8 can be hard but if people around her had advised her and supported her right she could have fought this...and anyone else who is considering this opperation...it's not worth it. I would rather go for a walk everyday....forget diets/ pills all that is a waste of money....

Malissa grew up in a family who all had weight problems. Her mother Dawn, 46, is now 16st but weighed 10st more before having her own gastric band fitted.

However her mother said: 'I don't regret encouraging her to have it, the bottom line is Malissa would have died if she didn't lose the weight.'

The sad thing is her surgery could have killed her and now she is battling anorexia and could die.

Her mother probably thought that "You know it worked for me, it will work for my daughter...children do tend to follow their parents a lot...I blame the parents...I don't think they tried at all to support her and motivate her to walk or to eat less but they were just like yupp..34 stones lets go and get surgery.....I feel like if they worked harder to support their child they could have had grandchild in the future.


'Food made my physically sick,' she said. 'I had to force myself to eat.' Her daily diet is now three cooked carrots, two portions of parsnip and a roast potato, which provides 300 calories.

'I'm too thin. My body shocks me. But swallowing is painful. Eating a tiny amount gives me stomach cramps or makes me sick.

'I will most likely die of a heart attack, so I must persevere with eating. I am trying, but it is so hard.'

Too fat = heart attack

Too skinny = heart attack

Now what? .....
