thinking out loud.


What can we expect to happen in the next 364 days? An unanswerable question I have been asking myself today. A new year has started and many will be making their new years resolutions, for what i'm not sure as I doubt 80% will keep it up for more than a couple of weeks, those of you who last longer have my eternal praises.

The past few days I have been thinking about the notion of time, how quick it passes, how everyone always says make the most of every minute as you know never know what can happen.

How many of us actually do that?
How many of us take the plunge and do what we really want to do?
I thought I would share this little refelection with you all to encourage everyone to do something about it.

My new years resolutions are to travel more, meet people, take more photos, learn something about everyone I meet and most importantley spend as much time as possible doing something productive.

If you were to sit for a moment and think what has 2015 given to you, what has it taken from you, how things have changed from one year ago...after that think about what you didn't do and wanted to.

Can't keep it any more simple than that, Hannah.

It's not what you know, it's WHO you know.

I realise I only just posted yesterday, and never post this frequently but writing is the only way I seem to get anything off my mind lately. I have also realised how much I admire someone who knows what they are doing with their lives... I'm twenty one and have no clue what I actually want to do. How do you know? How can you choose one thing to dedicate yourself to for the rest of your life? When does it become clear what your 'calling' is? I have been told I don't know how many times that it's never too late for anything, but maybe it is. The thought of actually getting to where you want at the age of thirty terrifies me. As you know, it's finals time and everyone is at the library cramming as much in as possible. I was there the other day thinking how many of you are studying what you really want to study? How many of you are doing because your parents or someone else has made you? How many of you are actually going to give 100% to that future jo...

Unlinking refugees to Paris attack.

By now, most of us have heard about the attacks in the french capital on Friday evening. For those who haven't, here is a brief summary: First attack Friday 13th of November, Stade de France - explosion outside the national stadium while France played Germany. Little after a second explosion echoes inside the stadium. Both carried out by suicide bombers.  Minutes later, in Paris's 10th districts gunmen arrive with rifles at two restaurants, Le Carrion and Le Petit Cambodge. Soon after, another explosion at Stade de France, meanwhile a shooting was carried out at La Bonne Bier in the 11th district. Followed by shootings at La Belle Equipe and Comptoir Voltaire, another two restaurants. Finally, the last attack at around 9:40 in the concert venue Bataclan, also by shootings.  All of these attacks happened between 9:20 and 9:40. As many start hearing of the attacks they automatically started to link them with the Syrian refugees. This is plastered all over soci...

Easter in Spain.

It's that time of year again, Easter or patch as some call it, a week where some celebrate Jesus' resurrection from the dead, a few days after his crucifixion by Romans at Calvary. Easter time, as we all know, isn't a fixed holiday. This is due to the fact it follows the Julian calendar, which depends entirely on the cycle of the sun. It is determined by a lunisolar calendar similar the Hebrew one. This post is mainly focused on the Spanish Easter week, or as they call it ' Semana Santa '. Depending on what area you are in, it is celebrated one way or another, but the main attraction is the massive holy parades taken place. I will speak from now on solemnly of the city of Málaga, where I have seen them first hand.  The parades start on 'Domingo de Ramos' or Palm Sunday in English and end on the following Sunday, resurrection Sunday. There are around 6 to 8 parades taken place daily walking many streets of the city. Each parade cons...
