Glastonbury Festival

Mates, what would you say if I told you that you had the opportunity to buy a ticket that would stand you a chance to go and see the sweetest legendary bands ever in just 3 days? Wouldn't this be the hottest ticket in the world??! Well , you're just a click away - scroll down your mouse and find out!!

It is one of the largest world attractions. Glastonbury Festival is an interesting blend of open-air music and performing arts festival. The event is generally held every last week of June (lasting 3 days), in the village of Pilton, located in Sommerset, England. It precisely takes place on a farm called Worthy Farm, which, for a week, gets loaded with tents and motorhomes as festival-goers arrive to make their 3-days stay.

Glastonbury Festival, A.K.A. Glasto, is an unforgettable experience which is best known as a fun-packed fest of, mainly, music. What might struck you as the best festival of all times is that Glastonbury is like lots of different festivals converging all on the same venue. Then, no doubt there's nowhere near a festival as unique as Glastonbury. Festival-goers get absolutely drawn to different music bands or singers, ranging from independent rock to mainstream pop, all of which perform simultaneously across 9 main stages. And this is not all - the Glastonbury experience is not at all complete if you haven't given a shot at the myriad of other attractions at hand! The area where the festival is held is split into several subareas, each featuring its own special attractions. So there's THE DANCE VILLAGE, where you may join ravers and disco dancers at one of the many dance tents to dance the night away; there's THE GREEN FIELDS, delivering gripping talks on alternative therapies and natural food as well as various kinds of workshops; there's THE CIRCUS AND THEATRE FIELDS, which offer kid-friendly entertainment such as puppet shows; there's THE CINEMA FIELDS, which, naturally, shows all manner of films; and last but not least, there's THE PARK, which includes stalls selling whatever you may imagine from food to crafts.

...Sounds like Glasto is really a must for the winter holidays, I even dare rate it as THE unmissable opportunity of a lifetime. Providing you have the chance to stop off in England by the end of June, would you like to have a Glastonbury experience?

Good Neighbours

As we're dealing with the topic neighbours I thought it'd be a good idea to tell an anecdote related to such topic - it's not a real anecdote though :P!

" Because you never know the day when you might need your neighbours' help - fingers crossed you never do,you should always be kind and helpful to them " , my mom used to say. And that day came.

I was home alone for the whole weekend while my parents were away, gallivanting around Europe for their wedding anniversary, when the most terrible incident happened to me.It was early in the evening when I had just started to get ready myself to hang out with my mates for a couple of beers. I took my time - slowly picked out what I was going to wear, had my hair done and cooked some dinner. Only after glancing at my watch did I realise I was going to be awfully late. Frantically, I put on some make up, took my purse, locked the door and dashed to the lift. Funnily enough, it wasn't working so I decided to take the stairs. As I was hurrying my way down them, I couldn't help stumbling on those bloody high heels which eventually led me to fall- and break my left leg!I was shaking with fear as I saw the gush of blood coming out of my veins . Desperate as I was, the only thing that crossed my mind was calling my neighbour Barbara to come to my aid. I picked up the phone and punched in her number. She immediately called the ambulance and came where I was lying to comfort me till the doctors came. Without giving it a second thought, Barbara accompanied me to the hospital and stayed there with me until the doctor made sure I was fine and able to return home. I will never forget what she did for me, and ever since then I started giving my mother's words weight in gold .

I reckon that empathising with others, being willing to help them, even though that might imply devoting some of your time, makes you a good neighbour,and above all an excellent person, and Barbara definitely was one.

My iDeAl hOmE !

Hi there! Lately, I've been toying with the idea of moving out on my own, so ever since, I've been daydreaming about what my ideal home would be like, since, in the main, our homes tend to match our personalities and likes. Then I thought why not sharing this with my classmates?! So..here's a thought!

To be honest, I have never been too fusy about my home decoration. I am by no means one of those persons that likes splashing out outrageous amounts of money when it comes to decorating your place - after all, I neither spend too much time at home to care about it, nor do I have "fancy friends" to invite for dinner. Sumptuous , state-of-the -art furniture and ornaments aren't my cup of tea, since I hold that they are just chosen by snobbish people who like to show off.

Personally, if I have to choose a kind of ornamentation, providing I have enough budget to spend on, I'd definitely go for a cosy style. A good way of achieving this style, I believe, is by buying mostly wooden furniture. This, together with the use of plants, gives a kind of "enclosed nature" touch, which I find particularly soothing and, therefore, appealing. Moreover,painting the walls in light, pastel colours also contributes to create this homely, relaxing atmosphere. I reckon this decoration style is the one that suits me best because I label myself as one of those peaceful, easy-going persons for whom eternal bliss just means laying on a couch with a riveting book and a mug of hot chocolate - soya if possible.

Apart from this, I'm really into big, open spaces, loaded with gigantic windows without any curtains whatsoever. I feel that this quite reflects my personality as well : " what you see is what you get " I usually say. As genuine a person as I am, I don't have anything to hide from others, I always show myself the way I am. This might be the reason why, to my view, people who choose to live in houses filled with lots of small rooms, with lots and lots of walls and doors that separate each room, may have something to conceal from others.

To sum up, I would then decorate my ideal home accordingly to my personality and the way I lead my life. My ideal place would be spacious, cosy, woodenly like and lightly coloured. Homes are inevitably a mirror of ourselves.
