What's Inside My Bag ?

As I study at uni usually there are plenty of books and copybooks in my bag ( which I have not included here, obviously ) depending, of course, on the schedule I have. But still there are some things which are practically always in my bag (except for the day when I change my bag and left them inside the other one ). 

There are 13 essentials in my bag. 

1. My notebook 

It is kind of a 'thoughtsbook' where I write down all ideas that suddenly come to my mind during the day. It's pretty and small and that's enough for me.

2. My uni pass 

It's not an interesting thing. This pass allows me to enter the uni and that's it. 

3. A mirror

I got it as a present from one of my mum's friends. It's made of wood. 

4. My mobile phone

I don't know why I bought the exact white version of it. Though I've never regreted buying it ever since. I am a strong mobile phone addict and I just don't understand how people lived without having one. 

5. The headphones

I'm currently having a love-hate relationship with these because they become dirty really easily and they tend to fall out of my ears for no reason but despite all these things the sound in them is really really good (I shouldn't complain).  Not long ago I discovered a band called Parachute. These guys are amazing!  

6. My pencilcase aka makeup bag

It's nice, cleanable and of medium size. It has a zipper. And I bought it mainly because it had post stamps on it and I must tell that I looove to send postcards and letters. It is better then sending a e-mail or a message on the phone because when you read through the lines you see that a person put a soul into writing it and it makes you happier (well, it least, it makes me happier).    

7. Stationeries

Some pens, a pencil, 2 highlighters and an eraser. Boring, but essential if you are a student.

8. A flash-card

Just in case if professors want to give me some useful info to read or watch or whatever. I used to forget it at home when I was a second-year student but now it's always in my bag. I promise :) 

9. A hairband and a hairpin

You never know when you will need these two. If a hairband is not on my wrist, be sure, it's in my bag. 

10. A hairbrush 

This one is really good. I bought it in September and I love it since.

11. My purse

This is where all my money are stored. It's a plain black leather purse. Nothing special about it except for the fact that my mom bought it for me as a present four years ago. Can you believe it is still in a good condition?! 12 &13 Lipglosses and a lipstick

I am so fond of Rimmel London lip products, that I sometimes think that they add something to them to make people addicted. Here are two Rimmel London apocalips (100 Phenomenon and 101 Celestial) and a Lasting Finish one (169 Eyes on me) which is dark-red. 

This is it what I got inside my bag.  

Have a nice week!

To Love or to Be Loved

I wanted to start this post by telling you what's been going on in my life recently and why I've been away from this "blogging world" for almost a month. The thing is that I've been trying to start my fourth higher school year by studying really hard but, to my disappointment, I failed again ( btw I'm really good at breaking my own promises haha). It is just so overwhelming that once again I'm coming to a conclusion that blogging will be the right thing to do at this period of time. 

So, today I want to talk to you about an interesting topic (well, at least for me) which is 'to love or to be loved'. I do know that these two things cannot be separeted one from another but still...Have you ever thought which one of the two options is the most suitable for you - to love or to be loved?

For me, personally, 'to love' is a bit more important than to be loved. It's happiness, joy, patience, courage and inspiration! It's a feeling of indescribable warmth that you have towards a certain person (even if this person doesn't love you back). It's an ability to show all your respect and care to a person. But there's no doubt that it is always good when this love IS actually appreciated by the person whom we give it to. When I'm in love I want to sing, dance, make up stories and lyrics, play the instruments, listen to the melancholic tunes, climb the mountain etc etc
On the other hand I can't but mention the fact that it is socially important for a person to be loved by someone because it gives you strength,confidence and a general feeling of being needed and wanted.
Of course, the combination of these two is the meaning of love itself and maybe it's silly of me to separate these things but I just can't help thinking about it :)

 Have a lovely day!

Love, Christina M.
