God of Thunder

Two days ago, I went to the pictures with my boyfriend to watch Thor. It was the only film that we would agree to go and watch together from the available movies. 
I wanted to go and see Water for Elephants, but I guess I'll have to wait for that one. 
So, off we went to Birkenhead Vue Cinema. 


Posters of the film...





The short version of the story is:
Thor (Chris Hemsworth), the God of Thunder is a bit too cocky and arrogant for his own good, defies his father, Odin, the king played by Anthony Hopkins, and is banished to Earth where he meets the lovely scientist Jane (Natalie Portman). His hammer is also thrown to Earth with a kingly, godly spell put on it so that no-one but someone (like) Thor can use it. The government gets a little freaked out by all of this commotion of the cosmos and take Jane's life's work which Thor gets back for her. The start of the romantic storyline. 
Meanwhile, there's a lot of commotion up in Asgard because Thor's Odin becomes ill and the evil brother, Loki (Tom Hiddleston), tries to take over. 
Marvel's production is comical with some great action (although too little amount for my boyfriend) and it shows the trueness of family connection, love and loyalty. 
The only fault is the ending...
Thor returns to his home but now cannot get back to Earth to be with Jane. It is so annoying how films do that. 
Yes, it is true that Heimdall (Guardian of the World's) says there is a chance of getting back to Earth, but STILL! I'd like to have seen Thor go back, or at least right at the end, the last scene, a thunder bolt and Thor lying on the ground. 

It's still a great film. 
Four stars.

Being Healthy

I have a lot of trouble being healthy! I think that I actually need bags of crisps in my life to complete it! Crisps are definitely my weak spot, especially Kettle Chips. However, I have my end of year Summer Ball coming up in less than four weeks and after that, three longs months of summer, which include a family wedding and a holiday to Tenerife. There is no hiding beneath large oversized cardigans for me any more.
I need to toughen myself up with food and exercise and banish the excess for good, not that there is much. I am grateful for that. I just want to be toned. 

So, some food swaps that I am going to TRY and encounter...

Crisps


swapped with

Crackers



Chocolate


swapped with 

Fruit


And then a little bit of exercise for support, which I really need to be doing! 



Summer body... yes please.
Especially with a wedding and a holiday coming up!

Curvy Girls = Beautiful Women

Carrying on from the final April post of the Royal Wedding with the beautiful Kate Middleton, this post is all about beautiful women who have curves. 
This is something that every teenage girl my age, also younger and older, have tremendous worries about... embracing their bodies and their curves. 

It is not natural for every girl or woman in this world to be straight-up, straight-down because where is the dimension and the difference? 

I decided to post images of beautiful women who love their curves in order to inspire and influence everyone that being a woman is amazing and women love their curves! 

Scarlett Johansson 



Beyoncé



Rihanna 



Dita Von Teese



So there you have it, four amazing stars with curves AND they embrace them, every day.

Royal Wedding

I was one of the 120,000(!) people attending Hyde Park yesterday to watch the marriage of Will & Kate. 


Hana and I rose from bed and got ready. Heels were nearly worn. I am so glad beyond relief that I didn't wear them due to the grass, uneven roads, tubes and the fact that hardly anyone there wore them or even got dressed up!
We, at least, dressed smartly for the occasion. 

We found a space near the front of the three massive screens which had the Royal Wedding coming through loud and clear (and live). 
That's it girls, Will has gone...
Harry lock your doors at night!

I cannot express enough how excited and patriotic the atmosphere was! It was phenomenal how many people turned out, some even dressed up in wedding dresses, the royal guards and there was even a 60s union jack dress out and about! 
I wish I had a camera that actually worked to illustrate all this! Honestly, it was just fab!

After getting a little tearful at the wedding, it was time for food and the drinking started! Or carried on in some cases!
Chilli on a jacket potato... YUM!

And!... there were free photo booths! The kinds like in America were you can get a strip of four different pictures! 
I was not ready for the first one. It was quite hilarious (this was before the drinking). 

Dancing around to the band that was playing great music... a lot was MJ so I was happy. 

Images of Hyde Park...

 
I was one of those people!



At around 4pm, Hana and I left the park and went on to Camden for a bit of shopping. In the Wedding mind, I was looking for a dress for my cousin's which is in July! I need a new dress! And I am determined to shape up for it! 

I bought one thing: a necklace and earring combo, elephant style. 
I didn't find a dress, sadly. 


We left at around 7pm, so it is safe to say that after a ten and a half hour day, our legs were aching and I wanted to climb into my PJ's. 

Roll on my night out in Croydon! 
Tiger Tiger here I come!

P.S. Hana wrote me a letter whilst she was a tad drunk that I said I would post on here: 

I'm Hana
I'm drunk
laa laa laa
I <3 Faye

Break & Katy Perry

I have just completed a second draft of one of my essays.
One out of two = DONE! 
Although I am going to review it tomorrow, just in case.

This is a work break for me and I wanted to share the love for Katie Perry! 
I am just listening to her on juicefm Liverpool (yes, I still listen to a Liverpool station although I am in London) 
The song was of course the new hit E.T! 

The music of it is incredible and the collaboration with Will.I.am is one that should be repeated. 
I love the amazing hair and make-up that Katy Perry has going on! Seriously, I want to try it out but I have not got the confidence to do it! 
Maybe one day.

This would be an outstanding unique new fancy dress outfit at your next party:
Beautiful Extra Terrestrial

Think bright blues and purples, eye contacts and a luscious long flowy red dress.
Then you're good to go!

Mountain of Work

This is what I look like today,


It's a bit of exaggeration to be honest, but it's what I feel like considering that I've got to do two essays by this Friday. It is Wednesday.
Ok, so I have done a first draft of one of them, but you should see the amount of highlights on the pages from my tutor! 
And the other: my worst enemy, the demon in my life and the nightmare of my first year, Critical Skills! 
Hate is a strong word, but I will use it in this case...
I hate Critical Skills! 
That is probably why I skipped eight weeks of it... my bad! 
Anyway, because of the dreaded subject, I trekked all the way to Euston to the British Library to get some criticism for this essay. Bear in mind that this is the only good thing of the whole subject because I was pretty sure I was going to write an amazing essay. 
So, I spend about two hours travelling there (I could have gone home to Liverpool in this time), get my picture taken and give in my details for a Readers pass and find out they don't even have it there, in the Library. 
I have to order it which takes 48 hours. However, the library isn't open on Friday because of the Royal Wedding. 
So, thanks to the future King and Queen, I have to rethink a whole essay for one and a half days! 
No disrespect to them, I cannot wait to watch it and wave the British Flag as well as playing the royal drinking game, but I might not be able to as I will probably be in my stuffy room, writing with steam coming out of my ears!

Rant over.
Thanks!

Here's a few pictures;




The library is amazing though! 
And that last image is exactly me in three short sentences.

Much love!
