About me <3

Hi, I’m Giulia, a 15-year-old student. I love Summer but also Spring. I love reading books maybe on the beach with only the sound of the sea. I don’t think I have a favourite book because I like them all, but one that will always remain in my heart is “The little prince”.

 

I love listening to music, especially the English group One direction, but also other famous singers such as Kodaline that you surely know.

I also love baking: cakes, cookies, and sometimes I also try to do strange and new types of cake.

But one of my favorite hobbies is absolutely watching films and tv series, maybe with some friends, with some food. You know everything is better with friends. I bonded a lot with my classmates, and they became very important people in my life. I love them- they always make me smile.

 

 

One of my greatest passions is taking pictures of everything around me, I love taking pictures of sunsets. I love them!

 

 

 

 

 

 

So this is what I can say about me!

 

 

The little girl who dreamed of Disneyland Paris …

And here we are again today first how are you? all right right? I hope so … Today I’m here to talk to you about something I love to do, travel, vacation, all over the world, even if unfortunately I’ve never left Italy. The 4-year-old Giulia always dreamed of going to Disneyland Paris, visiting Paris, walking and eating macarons and baguettes all the time. Well you will probably ask me, “Now that you have grown up, what is the ideal journey of the 15 year old Giulia?”

And you would guess that Giulia would like to travel a lot , perhaps to a little warmer and more exotic places. But believe me when I tell you that there is always a child in me. For this reason, the 15 year old Giulia also tells you that her ideal vacation would be at Disneyland Paris with rides and cartoon characters.

Disneyland Paris actually consists of two parks: the Disneyland Park and the Walt Disney Studios Park which is beside the Disney Village, full of shops, food and beverage chains.

When I have a moment I watch vlog videos or blogs, stories about Disneyland Paris, and there are several things I should definitely do …

•Attend the final Disney Illuminations show.

•Take a picture with Disney characters.

•Take the photo seen and reviewed, but always beautiful, in front of the beautiful Sleeping Beauty Castle.

•Definitely go on as many attractions as possible in both parks.

•Eat Disney character themed things.

• And of course buy very nice things that will always make me remember about this adventure.

Anxiety is not a fault

Many times anxiety is the main problem of teenagers. But not just anxiety, there are many problems that teens face.

Anxiety in young people is now very common, due to school, our society, the family or any other reason.

I believe that overcoming anxieties is more likely if you talk to someone about it, especially with your friends who will be able to give you useful advice or at least to give you some comfort, you don’t have to and you can’t face everything alone.

And you? do you have episodes of anxiety?

Maybe you too are facing or have faced moments in your life full of anxiety, and I can understand you too. I suffer from anxiety often because of school, once upon a time I made myself think it was “a fault” .

I thought but why do I react like this and I cannot be calm like others are or how others seem, (because you can never know how other people really are). As you well know during the school period there is a lot of pressure, class assignments, oral revision for tests. Often it is too much for us, so we often fail to do everything perfectly as we always wanted for school.

Many times we are so pessimistic as to say that we cannot do anything to calm down. Well I think we can- I help myself do better. I find something to distract my thoughts so I either listen to a bit of music on my headphones or call my friends and let off steam or just talk about something with them.

The Sport of a Lazy Person…

As you could well have guessed I am not a very sporty person – someone who loves to play sports. I definitely prefer to watch a movie, read a book or do something else, maybe I’m wrong, but what can I do about it?

I can tell you, however, that until before Covid I practiced sports, like volleyball, which I did for a while and I liked it a lot, but it didn’t go well because of my school and personal commitments. I also felt good with my teammates but then Covid arrived and I never started again when training began again.

Many years before, however, I also did dance for a long time- I started when I was five with ballet.

A funny story, listen listen, the day of the ballet rehearsal I cried because I was afraid- I had a wonderful fairy dress, a wand and I was all prepared. Instead, I did the whole dance recital with tears in my eyes.

Anyway, going back to lockdown due to the Covid, I was too lazy. I did absolutely nothing- video lessons seated of course, then sofa, bed, not even a minimum of training.

Then I decided to follow online tutorials of exercises to do at home. Here are some examples – one of my favourites is the one at the bottom right of Mad fit, 15 minutes of party dance workout with 2000s music. You have fun, laugh and train at the same time. If you get annoyed going to the gym but still want to work out, they are right for you and were right for that period to do something and pass the time.

Obviously, my playlist for the sport of trust that I recently started doing again could not be missing. If you like, I’m leaving it down here. There is a bit of everything from Lady Gaga to a Little mix or Bruno Mars.

And do you play sports? Would you like to ? Have you stopped too because of Covid? I hope you enjoyed this post. See you soon.

An exciting TV series based on romance and vampires

Taken from pinterest

Over the years I have seen several TV series, but about two years ago I saw “The Vampire Diaries” for the first time.

The Vampire Diaries is an American TV series based on a series of books called “The Vampire’s Diary“.The series is set in Mystic Falls, a fictional city. The pilot episode was shot in Vancouver, British Columbia, while the rest of the episodes were shot in Covington, Georgia, and around Atlanta.


It is one of those TV series that you say “I’ll watch the last episode and then I’ll go to bed” but you find yourself, in the middle of the night, continuing episode after episode saying that it will be the last because you are so hooked that you lose track of the time or at least this is what happened to me.

Do you know what it’s about?


I will explain it to you briefly…
This TV series is about a girl named Elena, a girl with a very strong temperament and who I liked right away. Despite all the pain in her life, she manages to overcome or rather to live with the loss of her parents in a car accident in the summer and being left alone with her brother and aunt Jenna. You will understand their role over the various seasons.

Upon returning to school after the summer, she accidentally meets a very charming boy named Stefan. He looks like a simple 17-year-old boy, but he has a secret, which is that he’s a vampire, and Elena finds out very quickly – I admit, she’s a pretty nosy girl, I’m kidding of course. 🤥👀

There are eight seasons and you will always discover new and complicated things, so I don’t want to get you too bored with the whole plot but if you want to know more I’ll leave you a link to find out more.

The main characters. From the first you can see their acting skills; the protagonist Elena played by Nina Dobrev, the vampire Stefan Salvatore played by Paul Wesley and his brother Damon by Ian Somerhalder.

Curiosity and gossip:

I don’t know if you know- there are rumors that the actors who played Elena and Stefan in the first seasons weren’t on good terms at all, they didn’t get along but then over the years they bonded a lot. So much that…., do you know the super gossip? The stars who play Elena and Damon have been together for many years, Unbelievable !! They were really soulmates!!!


That said, if you are a fan or have seen it what do you think? If you haven’t had the chance to see it yet, watch it! It deserves a lot. Last thing I wanted to tell you, prepare yourself psychologically because I admit that the last episode of the eighth season makes you cry all the tears in your body, literally. I still remember the first time how much I cried- I never expected this ending, or maybe I did- after all it was perfect.

The 30th anniversary of the death of Giovanni Falcone

Giovanni Falcone was an Italian magistrate who dedicated his life to fighting the mafia.

On May 23, 1992, Giovanni and his wife Francesca, returning from Rome, landed in Palermo on a jet, a secret service plane that departed from the Rome airport. Three armored cars awaited them. After taking the highway that leads to Palermo, at the Capaci junction, a terrifying explosion disintegrated the cars and killed Giovanni Falcone, his wife and the police officers.

www.larepubblica.it

The mafia is a criminal organization with roots in Sicily, Calabria and Campania which also developed in North Italy, Europe and the world.

In short, the mafia takes the place of the state, and ends up being supported not only by its members or business partners, but also by ordinary people who, finding themselves in difficulty, see the mafia as a way to earn a living.

We have been fighting against the mafia for many years now, many people have fought unfortunately losing their lives as did Giovanni Falcone. Even today the mafia has not ceased to exist, but many people try to do justice and it is hoped that sooner or later someone will put an end to all of this.

my favourite quote <3

I think everyone at least once, has seen the film Peter Pan, and this quote comes from there. Since I was a child I have always loved this film, and this quote has always remained in my heart. Growing up obviously this quote had a meaning for me: it is important to dream, to be happy, to live life smiling because as the quote says only those who dream can fly and live happily.

We often forget the importance of dreaming. We live our lives, accepting what happens. But each of us needs to dream in order to live happily. We must remember that sometimes we need to forget everything for a few moments, close our eyes and dream-think of something that makes us happy. I’m often the first not to take advantage of these moments, but we all need them. So my dear readers, remember not to stop dreaming because only those who dream can fly. See you for the next post!

– With love,

giulia
