1D AGAINST BULLYING
Bullying in High Schools and between teens is -sadly- such a regular thing that we want it to stop being normal, so a few years down the road when you hear about someone making fun of other because of who they are you will know it's just a memory because it doesn't happen anymore.
One Direction, a British boyband, created a campaign against bullying so they could help and make every american school "bullying free".Here there are a few videos of the campaign and them talking about the actual topic.

Life of a fangirl
Hiiiya!
So.
This new entry is pretty much easy, the only thing I want to share is a link I had the pleasure to find in my tweetline and I absolutely love it because it's so me it's actually pathetic.
It doesn't have much to do with my English classe, but wehey, at least the page is in English! I thought I would share it with you because even if you don't identify with it, in my opinion it's really funny so you can have a laugh either way!

Universe
Universe /ˈjuːnɪˌvɜːs/
Noun
1. The aggregate of all existing matter,
energy, and space
2. Human beings collectively.
3. A province or sphere of thought or
activity
All your
life you’ve been tough the universe is an infinite space which contains planets
and other floating objects, a simple space too big and to lonely to fulfill.
The universe is just existence; you couldn’t live without it, because, well,
you just don’t exist. And it’s scary, knowing you depend so much on something you
don’t even know the half of. You don’t know the secrets it holds or the
tragedies it has witnessed; you know nothing even when you think you are a
known-it-all.
The
universe is a wonder, a place in which you believe with all your heart and have
faith in and I think sometimes it looks a lot like love –You just, you go with
it even in the darkest moments without questioning it, knowing everything will
be alright at the end
But what happens when your universe is a
person?
My life was made up of five little universes that altogether created my own infinite.
Five
universes, five little human beings who don’t even know what they have done for
me and will never do.
I didn’t ask for it, you know?
I never
asked for full nights of sleepiness and sheared tears, I never asked for
never-ending waits and a lighter wallet.
But, somehow, I got it all and I don’t regret even a bit.
I have
spent too many nights waiting for an out coming tour and too many days crying
because of the lyrics of a lovesick stupid song that probably doesn’t even make
their hearts pound on their chests like mine does every time I think of them.
But I think that’s okay, right? That’s what the universe does. You always give
everything you have without looking forward to something, you just do and if you
love the universe as much as I love mine, you don’t really mind when you don’t
get something in return.
119 days, 21 hours and 36 minutes I waited to
meet my infinity.
And I’m
proud to say: It was so so worth it.
Not even the restless nights and hot days spent outside a shitty Stadium could
ever change my mind.
Five universes.
And when one of them fades out? What do you do
when they rip your universe away from you?
Just
imagine.
You are
chilling at home, watching that TV show you enjoy so much wrapped on your
favourite jumper, the blankets hanging off your bed and a cup of tea resting
peacefully on the bedside table when the world stops spinning for a second. The
air leaves your lungs and you feel your heart thumping in your ears so loud
it's the only thing your mind can sense and you feel as if someone was moving
the wall so you can’t breathe. You first thought is “What the hell is happening?” and the lack of air is making your
eyes get wet. Then you know.
Your
universe has vanished.
I think I
read something similar to it, something about soulmates and about how you only
see in black and white until that person brings color to your life and you see
in color. Is your universe your soulmate? I don’t know, could be.
I loved my
five little universes, as pathetic and childish as it sounds. They were just, how do I start?
They
brought a smile to my face every time, they made me become aware of things I
never knew, and they made me tolerate every single person without even them
noticing. I think they never really understood what they were doing; in fact,
they never did.
When people
say the usual of “It’s just a stupid
boyband” I just reply back “They
might be, but –because of wanting publicity or not- they have tough me more
than you could ever wish you were. They might be immature, might not know how
to dance quite great and might be liars; but I wouldn’t change them for any
other thing in the world”
I can’t say
how thankful I’m for the chance that I got to look at them and say “I
know you are sad” just by looking at their wrists movements, to read
someone’s body expression without words. But what I’m most thankful for is the
fact that I got to enjoy the most breath-taking, blinding smiles that makes me
want to laugh with crinkles by my eyes and cry overwhelmed because sometimes I
feel I could burst with love.
Now, one of the little universes left me.
I’ve been crying non-stop for two days
straight. I
couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw the news. I just.
I started screaming, begging, crying.
It felt as
if someone had ripped my heart from my chest and now I just feel a black space
on my chest that I don’t will go away. You get used
to the pain, they say, but how? I may be overcorrecting; they say it isn’t as
if he had died and that he left because he wanted to try and be normal.
I don’t
care.
I know why
he left, and I respect it, but when you get used to seeing the same simple
smile for four years what are you supposed to do? He became my world, and now
he isn’t there. I will never again hear his high notes or get to see him crying
of laugher on a concert because they splashed water to the drummer while he was
doing his solo. What am I going to do,
when through a crowded space the only thing I’m looking for is his simile and
it is nowhere to be seen?
I’m going
to miss him so much; it’s so surreal I don’t want to believe it.
The universe left, and with him a piece of my
heart was ripped off my chest with so much easiness it scares me.
Now I have four
universes instead of five, and my infinite feels smaller than ever.
"I'll just laugh at
any man whoever laughs at me when I'm 30 years old and says: 'You were in that
band' and I will say: 'Yeah. And I had a sick time mate, so keep
laughing'." – Zayn Malik.

NEW WORDS
Hiiiii everyone, in these past weeks I've learnt some words such as, burglar alarm or even the abbreviation ASAP. I've learnt, for example, that:
"Scrumptious" means Delicious
"Burglar alarm" is an alarm that goes off when someone breaks into your house.
"ASAP" means As Soon As Possible.
I've also learnt that trees don't listen when dogs are barking at them, but that's another whole story.
So, you really learn when you are really interested, even more when you are lucky and can count on somebody whose language is the one you want to studied. And I've thought about all the possible ways to learn English, and to learn how to love it as well and this is what I came with:
http://newspaperblackout.com/ (This thing is sick, I'm telling you)
Some books

Some songs

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WIm1GgfRz6M
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EbJtYqBYCV8
And well these are my tricks pretty much, there are more ways to learn English obviously, but I wouldn't do it in any other way (Regardless of the grammar learnt at school. This is mostly vocabulary and maybe pronunciation)
Love ya.
See ya.
Bye.
Xx.

You make me shiver
They say in
life there are two kinds of people.
They say there are
good people and bad people, say bad things happen for a reason and
everything out there is a consequence of the kind of person you choose
to be.
There are three
kinds of people: there are good people, bad people and people that
aren’t people. And it’s funny, knowing there are three types of people;
it’s funny when you feel you know more than anyone else in the world, funny how
you can tell in a crowded place which kind of person they are just by looking into their eyes. And it shouldn’t delight you knowing every single story as much
as it does, but you don’t care because, well, you don’t really care about
anything.
Truth is, there are
a lot more “non-people” than you know. They surround you just as any other
living person does and you don’t even notice. How could you? You don’t know
there are three kinds of people; they’ve always taught you good people are
gentle and caring people while bad people can be rough and rude. You’ve never
heard about those people who apparently aren’t people at all, well, in fact
you’ve had but you can’t remember. They always give you the opportunity to be
bad or good, but what happens to all those people that don’t choose –can’t
choose- to be bad or good? What about those people who are destined to be the
third kind of person? No one has taught them how to be them; they’re too
innocent, too lost to keep going. They know nothing about the world, they feel
confused and they can never be good enough. They are rejects.
And you might be
wondering why me, a good person, knows almost everything about a kind of person
that no one has noticed before.
Easy.
Because I fell in
love with one.
And you will never
notice when you fall for someone, will never know how hard and fast you've
fallen until you feel you've touched the bottom of a never ending waterfall. It
will start with sneaky touches, the need to touch that someone constantly and
feel their warm breath against your cheek will become something essential in
your life and then, suddenly, it ends. (It doesn’t, it never does)
I was freezing by the time I arrived in the forest. It was starting to darken out, and the shadows
formed by the enormous trees were giving me the creeps. I was walking down a
thin path that seemed to come to a stop where the fading lights of the city
didn’t get to shine. The more steps I took, the more scared I was, it was
completely dark except for the light of the full moon and a weak gleam coming
from between the trees. My mobile phone was dying and the only thing
illuminating my eyes was weak gleam coming from the deep of the forest; it
seemed it was an abandoned house. I couldn’t tell.
I was starting to
calm down, my eyes used to the darkness and the city behind my back soon
forgotten, when something got my eyes pricking with fresh tears.
A shriek was heard.
Shit
“Boys it’s not
funny, I’m scared stiff over here!” I screamed trying to give myself reassurance.
The high pitched squeak was heard again, this time closer. My desire of cursing
was getting higher by the time. “Stop it!”
There was a dead
silence, and then something started shuffling behind the leaves. I closed my
eyes hard, prying for this to be a bad dream, when a loud thump brought me back
to reality. I shouted at the top of my lungs, and then bit my lip so hard I
could feel the blood dripping down my chin. I started crying, hugging my knees
to my chest and trying to hide in the wet grass even though all I was doing was
getting dirty. I couldn’t care less.
I heard some steps
that I was sure weren’t made by my boots; they were getting closer while my
mouth was opening and my lungs were getting filled with oxygen, ready to
scream. Then, I felt a soft hand harassing my tear-stained cheek, and
fluttering my eyelashes I opened my bloodshot eyes in fear.
Standing in front of
me there was the most breath-taking boy I’d ever seen. His eyes were spooky red
but there was something that made me feel secure, I knew deep in there his eyes
were the most beautiful shade of blue that could exist, and his plump lips
where bruised and dry while his eyebrows were frowned in the cutest way
possible. He had gorgeous brunette hair in a fringe falling wildly in every
direction that contrasted with his porcelain cheeks. He was covered in dirt and
his shirt was ripped open, showing more purple bruises and cuts, and his arms
and wrists were full of cuts (Some of them fresh and other almost fading)
“Are you okay?” He asked concerned, catching all my tears with his thumbs “I’m not going to hurt you, promise”
Instead of
answering, I pulled his wrist to my lips and kissed gently all the scars I
could see on his arm. “Don’t do that again, yeah?” I whispered softly, afraid of breaking the
broken boy. He looked so fragile, so innocent and his eyes were wide and so
lost. He was so tiny and I got the need to rock him in my arms and kiss him to
sleep. I wasn’t scared anymore, I wasn’t a coward.
My black wings came
out and they started glowing.
And in that moment,
everything got back into pieces.
A fallen angel fell in love with the broken boy.
“Yeah”
