she's just being herself

Person I'd like to introduce is Miley Cyrus. She was born In Tennessee in 1992 on November, 23rd. Mostly known from worldwide Disney Channel television series "Hannah Montana" since 2006. Her first album "Meet Miley Cyrus" (2007) was certified triple-platinium so we can see that she became famous when literally she didn't know what it is. Majority of people know her from HM but it wasn't that what she wanted. A year ago Miley said that she hated that show because her childhood didn't exist. She was treated like a typical working person, but in fact, she had 13 years old. There was a very long auditioning process, and many chemistry reads which really is what sold the show to the producers and channel. 

When she was older she realized that she probably could never break HM pendant. Through the years, when she was 15, then 16, 18, and even 20, for everybody she was Hannah. Everyone was like "Do I know that girl? I don't know her name but it's Hannah Montana I think, my daughter is her biggest fan how couldn't I know her!!". Even when Miley decided she won't play HM, even now, 7 years after the last episode of Hannah, people are still saying that she is that fictional character. But wait, I think that now she is "controversial and ugly singer". She changed her look, she released new type of music in 2013, then everyone kinda loved and hated her too, but still couldn't get over her performance on MTV VMAs 2013 stage when she danced in bear's outfit and after that wore latex "underwear" and twerked in front of Robin Thicke's body. That was the moment when she wanted to break with HM forever, it kinda helped, but I think more failed. In 2015 Miley was the best idol ever, I couldn't dream for a better person to stan, for real. She opened her foundation named "Happy Hippie", was the face of all the "making something for the world" events like amfAR event, when she cried during her speech because she wanted to chase down the AIDS and HIV. She said she's hoping her parents are proud of her even she sometimes knows she's doing thing that they are not accept at all. 

She has 5 dogs: Milky, Bean, Mary Jane, Happy, Emu, pig named Bubba Sue, two cats, two turtles and I think I would find more. Miley has a pig because it has to realize her that every animal is a friend and people are not supossed to eat their friends......This is kinda weird but I think Miley's right. I became a vegetarian exaclty because of her. She's vegan If you want to know. Every animal that could be taken from shelter, it was. Miley loves animals and when her dog Floyd died two years ago she was crushed and literally nearly canceled her shows during the Bangerz Tour. That times she cried a lot during the concerts. She is working with an organization "Free the nipple" that shows equality, properly it wants equality because it nearly doesn't exists. Like the name shows they want to show that men and women have the same body, including the breasts. Miley is not afraid of haters and sometimes doesn't wear bra or something. Miley worked with MAC company that produced her lipstick. If you want to know all earings are transferring to foundations that are fighting with AIDS. She recently said that her dream wasn't to be a face of a lipstick, her dream was to change the world. She doesn't care and often shows her body what bothers other people. She is Miley.

Good thing about Scotland and why I want to live there in the future

When I hear Scotland I see Princes Street in the centre of Edinburgh, I see people in rush, going to their work or school. I see always cloudy sky with some sunbeams, I see umbrellas all over the street. But what's best in Scotland? It's that wherever you go, you can meet people who will be nice to you, they'll always help you and will treat you like they've known you for years. When you cross the street, you can always say 'hello' to a random person, I'm sure you'll get a nice answer!

When I first visited Scotland, I was like twelve years old, so I didn't know a thing about taking good photos. Year ago, I went back there and then, these photos were taken:

When you visit Scotland some day, you should visit North Berwick also. It's a small town, half hour from Edinburgh. It's near the sea, it's quiet and calm. You can rest there, physically and mentally. Just look how beautiful it is!

 I hope we'll meet there some day ;)

My dream

 Last week I had a strange dream. Normall,y I don't have any dreams. Sometimes when I wake up I realise that I had a dream but when I open my eyes I forget about it. This time was diffrent, my dream was so realistic, even after I awoke I thought that everything what I had seen really happened.The first thing I remembeen was the forest. I stood alone, surrended by high trees. It was dark. I wasn't scared but I can't say I felt calm. I couldn't remember why I was there. Maybe I was lost when I was walking through the forest? Near my house there is a big forest and sometimes I go there. The longer I stayed and thought  the deeper darkness became. I decided to find way back  home. When I was walking I didn't hear any sounds, any birds singing, even tree branches didn't move. At the beginning I didn't go fast because I tried not to panic, but the longer I went I realised that I started to go faster. Suddenly, I stumbled. I caught some branches not to fall. Then I saw something. It was lying on the ground under enormously high tree . It was covered with leaves. I came closer to the thing. When I picked that thing I saw it was a book. There was only one word written on the cover. „Nav”. I didn't know what it meant but I really liked the book, it  seemed mysterious. I opened it. Pages were empty. I spent a few minutes to look at this book. At first I didn't see anything and I felt dissapointed, but when I decided to close the book, I saw some words written on the first page. „Please don't read this book, leave it”.These words weren't there when I had opened the book for first time. I was curious about what was written in this book. Maybe it was someone's diary? I had to read more. When I read  a few words something was going on. At first I felt  the wind, a really cold wind and I heard some noise. I closed the book and then suddenly everything disappeared. I didn't see anything except for my hands and this book. I was scared. I hold the book tightly and I started to run. When I was running finally I could see everything around me. I heard whispers. All of them said „Don't read, don't read”. Then it happened. Trees began to change into human faces. They screamed and shouted „Dont' read, please, don't read”. Voices were so loud that I wasn't able to understand what they were saying. I run as fast as I could. Branches transformed into hands and tried to catch me. Suddenly one of this hands caught my jacket. I didn't see them beacause I was looking at the trees on my right side. The hand tore up my jacket's sleeve and I fell of the cliff. When I was falling I lost my book. I found it lying in front of me. It was opened and I could read.„Now You should read all...enjoy”. I felt hands on my jacket and legs. I though I wolud die there and I started to scream. That was the last thing  I remembered. Next I woke up. My heart was still beating very fast. I was so scared that I needed to check if my jacket is still in its place. In the hall I found my mother„Your jacket is so dirty. Where have you been? I need to clean it soon. Anyway I told you not to leave your stuff in the hall. Here you go, your book.” The title of the book was „Nav”.     

...

I was awakened by birdsong. I felt on my face a gust of wind, the humidity of the forest in which I slept. The fireplace was expiring. I gathered my things and walked to the cliff, whose position was betrayed by the sky appearing between a couple of trees. In dimness I saw the tops of coniferous trees in their bluish hue. The forest slowly woke up, losing some of its mystery. I always think about the place where rights of human being are shortened to the ultimate desire, the desire of peace and survival. But then I didn't realize how I can get there. My journey was only a journey for me. When I looked at all these incredible views, I saw only that what can eyes see. But after what I experienced I know I was blind. But anyway, back to my journey. I came off the hill and found a source. I drank some water and I saw something unusual, the human footprint! I was traveling along lots of lands inhabited by strange races, but I was the only human I ever know. I suspiciously entered the thicket. The owner of the footprints must be a child, because his steps were much smaller than mine. The child has followed the stream, and I followed him. Soon I found myself in a small clearing. In the shade of a tree I saw the silhouette of a man. - Who are you? - I asked without thinking. The stranger actually was slightly lower than me, but he looked like 15 years old. He had tan skin, and dark shoulder-length hair. He didn't speaked to me, just stare. After while he raised his arm and showed me his open hand vertically. I thought, it looks like some kind of gesture. He noticed my curiosity and smiled. He showed me a gesture resembling a walking, and his mute mouth seemed to say "follow me". As in a dream I followed him, soon we arrived at the spot in the woods over which was some sort of stretched mesh of branches and leaves. It looked like a the work of of the boy. In the middle of his camp was a recess for fireplace, at the wall of trees was board made of several planks. The stranger walked up to the board and pointed to the inscription "Iris" and then at himself. - That's your name. - I said. He nodded and pointed at me. - I'm Byleistr son of the Eastern Wind. I'm traveling untill I find place where I will learn the wisdom of peace. - After a while I realized that my interlocutor knows how to write runes. - You are alone? Who teached you how to write? - I asked him. He pointed in the center of sky, then on the ground under him and make a gesture as though trying to embrace something intangible. He walked over to the board and drew a rune Great Mother. - Iris, you must be the chosen one. - I tought. I decided to stay in the camp the boy. Time goes by, and I began to understand that my journey is to find not the end but the beginning. Iris became my friend, he never was sad though it was not given him to speak a single word. Despite the fact that his days were similar to each other, he never get bored. He walked through the forest, creating runes on the stones and trunks laughing to himself. His posture was certain, something which made him one with the nature.But that night everything changed. Iris went as usual without a word. He disappeared as though never existed. When I realized what had happened, I realized that my journey has just begun. 397 ACFR.

Football - my favourite sport

My name is Emil and I'm 14 years old. I love football. I spend a lot of time on playing with my friends, learning some new tricks and watching matches. Messi and Ronaldo are the most popular soccer players, but actually, I don't like them. I will briefly present 5 of my favourite football players. The first one is Gareth Bale. He plays in a representation of Wales. He represents also Real Madrid club. The second player is Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. He is from Gabon, and he represents this country. Borussia Dortmund is his club. The third soccer  player is Marco Reus. He was born in Germany, and he is in the representation of this country. He also (like Aubameyang) plays in Borussia. The fourth player is Eden Hazard. He plays for the representation of Belgium. He is a star of Chelsea London club. And the last soccer player, my favourite one is Robin Van Persie. He is one of the best players of the Netherlands. He began his career in Arsenal London, then he played 3 years in Manchester United, and now he is playing in Fenerbahce club. These are my favourite soccers. I really like them and I want to play like them. I hope I will. :)

K-pop

Hello! I'm Lu and today I'm going to introduce you to K-POP WORLD! 
First of all, what is k-pop? It's music from South Korea. Sounds weird, I know, but everybody knows "Gangnam Style", and this song is from... Yeah, South Korea! As you can see, this music isn't that bad. 
There are many different bands. One of my favourites is a boysband called B.A.P, which means "Best Absolute Perfect". Sounds ambitious? Maybe, but in my opinnion it's true! 
There are 6 members: Bang, Himchan, Daehyun, Youngjae, Jongup and Zelo. Difficult? No! 
Do you think that Korean is a really weird language? All new languages are weird to us. I got used to it! 
K-pop is very interesting because of its versality. It contains rap, pop, hip-hop, ballads and much more! 
Go and enjoy k-pop!
