YouTube.

12:32


         YouTube has played a major part in my life since probably mid-2014. I remember somehow rocking up on Rebecca Ellie's channel and she became one of my first ever favorite Youtubers along side Bianca, at the time they both had probably around 4k subscribers and I remember I used to stalk them on a daily basis.
         In one of Rebecca's videos I remember her mentioning Zoella as one of her favorite YouTubers so I decided to google her and started off watching one of her Primark Hauls and then somehow I ended up on her vlog channel and then Playlist live with the British Gang, Troye, Tyler, Joey Graceffa, Miranda Sings and so one until I just got addicted. All I did back then was either school or swimming pool, YouTube, eat, YouTube, eat, sleep, YouTube and so on.
         I remember being a time when I was obsessed with Jack and Finn and I would watch their videos on repeat. Fun fact: I've watched their Rickshaw Run videos about three times and I'm not even guilty.
         During the end of 2014 I decided to upload my first ever video to YouTube being the Furry Friend Tag with Laila (which is still currently on my channel), I did actually film a haul and some kind of Halloween video before then but I never built up the courage to upload either of those. After uploading my first ever video with Laila I remember being getting really nice comments from my Intenet Friends and an amazing feedback and I never really worried about my "school friends" or "real life people" as my mum likes to call them and what they would say if they saw it. (Two years later and my brother is the only person who has seen / found my videos and I truly think it is only because he lives with me.)
         Since then I never really uploaded until October 2015 and I remember I pre-filmed about 7 videos for the whole week I was away in Portugal and I loved it, ever since I haven't given up although I do lack inspiration sometimes and struggle producing content, but every time I look and see that over 1000 let alone 100 people have seen potential and subscribed to my channel I feel so happy and so proud of myself in my own little way.
         I know I don't say it enough but I am so thankful to every single one of you who make me have a smile on my face everyday and support me through thick and thin. Thanks to YouTube I have met some amazing people who will hopefully forever be in my life, and as cringy as it may sound, thanks to YouTube I am now happy again. In 2014 I was going through a really rough time and knowing I could just switch off life and fall back on YouTube to make me laugh and smile really helped me out. Believe it or not, YouTube is an amazing platform and it has helped so many people and I just hope it continues this way for a long long time.
         To end of, here is a list of my most watched YouTubers at the moment (embrace yourself, there are quite a few, also, I have linked their main channels, but I'm loving the vlogs more):

Thanks again, you are amazing! xx

Zalfie. Chapter One.

17:47

As I wasn't quite sure what to blog about today, I thought on uploading a 'Chapter' of a Novel, a Fan-fiction, I'm not even sure what this is going to be. Don't worry, I am aware that I am no good at writing fan-fictions and it will not be a regular thing. 
Without further interruption, here goes! 

'Gooooood morning guys!' I hear Alfie roaring into his camera. 'I've just let Nala out, here she is, are you alright baby?' He says while stroking her head 'And now I'm going to just have a little cereal bar snack before I wake Zoe up and make us some breakfast.' 
'What time is it?' I manage to get it out of me, I didn't really know if I wanted to hear an answer, if he said seven I would be miffed that I had been woken up, and if he said eleven I would be miffed he didn't wake me up earlier so I could film my video.
'Mmmm, quarter past two' Seriously? What? I look at him and he is grinning at me with his cheeky little smile still with his camera turned facing him and then he laughs cuddling me 'I'm only joking, its quarter to nine, did you sleep okay?' 
'Your so stupid' I laugh covering my face with the blankets and we just lay there for the next fifteen minutes talking to his vlog until I am to desperate for a wee to stay in bed anymore. 
At half nine Alfie heads off to the gym with his trainer so I decide to have a bath while Nala takes her morning nap and then I film my 'Lush Haul Video'. 
'Gorgeous, I'm back and look what I brought you!' I hear Alfie shout to me from downstairs so I leave my laptop on the bed and go downstairs to see him. 
'Oh Alfie, you didn't need to' I say looking at all the cupcakes he'd bought me. 
'Now I really want to eat one but I can't because of the 90 day challenge.'
'I know, now poor old me is going to have them all.' I joke whilst wrapping my arms round his waist giving him a cuddle. 'Eeew your all sweaty and warm.' I laugh but I still don't stop hugging him, he wouldn't even smell bad if he was pouring with sweat lucky bugger! 
'What did you do while I was out?' He laughs giving me a kiss on the forehead.
'I filmed a video and I skyped Louise.' 
'Oh, I need to film a video before we go to mum and dad's!' he says looking quite worried.
'I know, I told you that last night.' I laugh looking at his face expression. 'Let's film one together then, we could do the 1,2,3 tag or something.' 
'Yeah, cool!' he says and I can gradually see that lovely smile appearing back on his face.
'Well, you go have a shower and get changed and I'll just change my top.' I suggest giving him a peck on the lips and he nods and gives me one back before heading upstairs whilst vlogging and takes a shower. 
After filming Alfie's video we head over to his parents house and we have our lunch there with them and Poppy, Sean and Buzz and after having a really chilled doggy afternoon with them we head off home and get to our beds.

I'm so sorry I cut the story short at the end, I was in a hurry and didn't know what I could put, what did you think? Maybe I will do an in-depth one about the day after, who knows? Tell me in the comments if you enjoyed it and if you would like to see more! Xxx

Pictures

12:00

          Ever since I remember I have been obsessed with pictures: Polaroids, film ones, digital ones. I just love something that captures a Time and a Place. I look around my room and it is full of pictures. Moments. These moments that existed, and then disappeared. I suppose I never considered the importance of a picture until I went through a box of my mums old pictures, and inside I found a sea of different memories from when she was younger. Different memories. Different times. Different people. Another world that existed and now it doesn't but you have proof that it happened, it is living and re-living in pictures and it is forever immobilized.
         


          You can see the time you went on a family holiday to Mallorca when you were two.
         
       
          Or the time you got your photos taken back in nursery or school.
       
         
          Or even more recently when you took that late evening stroll round a different city you'd never visited.
         
       
          Or the time in your old house when you we're playing in the garden because it was a nice summery day.
          Its all there and I guess that's why pictures are important. You can appreciate the pictures yourself or more importantly it opens up that little box in your head that takes you back to that time and that place, and the beauty is maybe it was a good time for you, or maybe it was a bad time for you, either way your happiness or sadness can resign in a picture. For example, you might not be able to recognize yourself or other people in a picture but it doesn't matter because it is frozen and it was what it was and I suppose that it is it, it is a fragment of time forever frozen, but frozen while your living and breathing.
          Yes, and I suppose that is why I love pictures.
