Thankful Thursday

A little tbt for ye guys... just a few days back I had a lovely day out with my bestie.

I just love how the lighthouse in the back is popping up on the horizon.

I have abandoned you fellow peeps for the excuse of not getting things done on time. I procrastinate a fair bit lot you see, especially when I don't have such demanding things such as work or assignments to do.

So, my 'Thankful Thursday' includes

Having a weird Mother

Every parent embarrasses their child, but for me I've become a little proud of the strangeness she carries with herself. Last week, we were sitting out by the river with cones, looking at the boats, next thing she mutters something about the toilet. An hour passes and still she hasn't returned. I have an old couple sitting beside me. She then comes back and remarks something like, "Oh I see you've made some friends!" That is her humour sadly (even though I don't laugh)

Day out with Edel

We took a brisk walk on the beach, saw 'Walking on Sunshine' in the cinema (Edel has sworn she will find the main guy in the movie... Italian you see), and during the movie, Edel was sighing whenever he came on screen, with a mischievous smirk as though she was planning on kidnapping the fella. You seriously don't want to know what we talk about during a movie. We end up creating our own script!

House chores & BBQs

I had the sun on my back while I painted the front garden wall and the pleasure of a refreshing shower afterwards. I actually can't picture myself having a desk job. I'll need a job that requires practical work. I hate being bored. I get frustrated with it. And by the end of the day, coming home from the hospital, I'll feel happy to return to a bed, a bath, a steaming cup of tea... just thankful that I have these simple, joyous things to come home to.

Yoga

This week I have been moving a lot. I bought a pair of new sports leggings, so I don't want them to go to waste. In the mornings, I'm mostly alone. So the house is quite, great time for a long session of yoga. I find that it's great for my back. Wah hey, I'm 21 years of age and I suffer from backaches! I blame the 100 year old bed... Haa! But I'm happy for the me time I get in the morning. Bad mood swings come with my personality package and yoga really helps.

Movies & 'Bones' marathons

Every night I've watched all kinds of movies. I unwind and forget where I am when I see another story being told. My brother is always interested in how I rate movies. He says I'm quite harsh with my decisions. Let me know what your utmost favourite movie is :)

I have such a love for acting, directing, the work that goes behind writing the script. It would be a job I would love to have, to produce, but you need a lot of talent and luck for that in this world.

I've managed to get to Season 8 of my 'Bones' collection. David Boreanaz (Booth) is-a-god! And Emily Deschannel! I love how she portrays her character. I see her as the female Sherlock.

I got my love for movies from my Dad and my Nan. And I feel like it's a special thing to have. Talking about the greats from the black and white times and the scores through a film.

Shells Cafe

We've been putting it off since I've been back from England and last Sunday we actually went. I felt so chirpy when I sat down with my cake & hot cocoa. I thank god for my parents, for having good, stable jobs and for being able to afford leisure's such as these. They know I appreciate it, through helping out in the house work, and taking care of my younger cousins.

Choir Group

 The people that are in it are so welcoming and friendly. I find it so strange how you don't see many young people in choirs anymore. It's a great thing to be able to help out in the community.

 I've been gone 2 weeks, so this will go towards my absence.

Thanks for reading lovies, and be sure to let me know what you've been thankful for this week.

30 Day Snap #26 | 'X-Men: Days of Future Past' & Woodland Walks!

I got to wake up in a fairy-like four poster bed, so that was pretty cool. My eleven year old cousin put up glow-in-the-dark stars on the ceiling for me. I thought that was so adorable. I was given a set of stars for my bedroom in Ireland as well. So yeah! My room is gonna look pretty darn awesome now :)

I loved looking out the window and seeing the family chatting and playing football in the garden. I went to the cinema and saw 'X-Men: Days of Future Past'... I've been the X-men movie fan since I was seven. My first celebrity crush was Hugh Jackman... weird with the age gap... but he's a total god! This movie was amazing. James McAvoy did a brilliant job on his performance. The ending of the movie was so shocking as well. I can't wait for the next and final installment. It'll be a very emotional ending, just like it was for Harry Potter.

In the evening, I went for a walk in the nearby woodlands, with Edel. I caught up on her videos and pictures, so that was nice.

Did any of ye see the new X-men movie? I still believe today that I am a mutant. It's the dream! To be something different and to have amazing/scary/thrilling adventures.

30 Day Snap #22 | Cinema, Hugs & Kisses :)

Hello everyone,

sorry about the lateness, I'm usually not like this. But yesterday we were getting a new router installed, waiting for the delivery guy, and we didn't set it up until last night.

On Sunday, I went to the cinema with my cousin. She was meeting all her school friends, so yes I was sitting with a bunch of kids, talking through the whole movie. We went to see 'Maleficent'. I loved it. And much preferred the ending compared to the original version.

It was quite dark for a kids movie, so yes, some of the kids were crying, so there was comedy added as a bonus for me.

Afterwards, I got a McChicken Meal, then got all ready for my last day at work. It was a lovely feeling knowing it was my last. I got hugs and kisses from all my favourite chefs. I will miss them so much. One of the guys can speak fluent French, so he was hilarious to listen to, with telling me not to go. So funny!

At home Edel told me my Dad had a few pictures on facebook, of my house all done up in Ireland. He planted a few trees at the weekend.

Hope you're all enjoying the wonderful weather we're having.

Thankful Thursday

Hello Sweet peas :)

Last Sunday, for half-term, I thankfully got to fly over (plane, I ain't no Super-Girl), to my home in Ireland.

It was so nice to see the familiarity of the place. It is strange being here, I admit, seeing my bed-room was unusual. I'm kinda excited and sad about leaving this coming Sunday, for London. Everything is new over there, so I would miss the familiarity over here. I know the people, I know that I'm not going to get lost, well.... that's debatable really!

So this next term I hope I'll become more familiar with things and that I'll get a proper routine going. Library this day, Work this day, Zumba this day, catch up on blogs and You Tube this day...

But I am so happy to be home, getting hugs from my Mum, spending some time with my brother, watching 'Downton Abbey' Series 1,2 & 3... Exhausting. Cinema trips with friends :) Chatting and laughing with my BFF Edel. Being back, it's like nothing changed. Let's just say I'm looking forward to Christmas... fires, OH HOW I'VE MISSED THE OPEN FIRE! And movies, family/friends time...

These pictures show you where I live, and raised. In the countryside, in the middle of nowhere really, heehee :) Surrounded by mounds, hilly plains, grass, farm animals, a view of the Sligo Mountains. It's home to me. And I love breathing in the fresh air, so different to the open fumes in London. And it's quiet! I get to go to sleep with no traffic outside. I don't mind it really, but having some peace once in a while helps you to think and reflect properly.

Let's move on shall we....

30 Day Snap #24 | Cadburys, Sherlock & Superman

Hey there,

 How there, how do you do? Well I had an exciting day today lads, it was a tiring start at first, but it turned out pretty damn awesome.

Me and my brother Aran, and my best friend Edel went shopping today, and to the cinema. We found a Cadburys shop, and got some boxes of chocolates. The best thing about these is that they're all strawberry flavoured ones... my fave's :)

And then we wandered along 'Waterstones' book shop, trying to look like teenagers around the teen books... like when we're in our 30's we'll still be hanging around there.

Then after dragging my friend out from the shop, heehee, only kidding, but she does love books, we then hit HMV, and became very happy and sad all at the same time. It's a horrible experience while shopping. I'm waiting to buy stuff just before I head back to Ireland, that way I'll have my money for important things like London and Harry Potter Studios. So I left 'The Mentalist', the lovely Simon Baker, and 'Australia', on the shelves... it broke my heart :(

But on a good note, my brother did buy 'Sherlock' Season 1 and 2. I'm a huge fan of Sherlock. I loved the movies, and according to my brother I will no doubt love this series. WOO HOO... can't wait :D

Theeeen, we saw 'Man of Steel' in the Odeon cinema, adverts went on for a half an hour, but for some odd reason, I didn't mind it. The movie was great, because of it's cast and of the guy playing Superman, and of it's score in the background, and of the guy playing Superman, oh and of the guy playing Superman. He barely had anything to say in the movie, he would just gaze in the distance and would have us hooked, the girls that is... the guys were probably content with the amount of action in the movie. Seriously, every 10 minutes there was an explosion. The story tweaked around a little so I'm looking forward to the next one.

Let me know guys what other movies are worth watching, whether in the Cinema, or on DVD :)
