Between a rock and a hard place-Aron Ralston(book review)

Hi!As I love to read,I decided to do a book review for one of the most inspiring books I have ever read.I usually prefer non-fictional books,but I read fictional ones, too(depends on the subject).The book is called Between a rock and a hard place and it is a true story about a  man who was trapped almost a week in remote Utah canyonlands and escaped through cutting his own arm.If you want to know what Goodreads has to say ,check out this link: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/166562.Between_a_Rock_and_a_Hard_Place

What I liked about the book:everything!it is moving,inspiring and heartbreaking.It is the story of a true warrior who fought until he succeeded.It's also a little bit psychological,which I like very much.
What I don't like:maybe at the beginning,if you don't like long descriptions you might get bored but stick with it..it's worth it.Here's a cover of the book:
If you don't really like books you could see the movie based on the book: 127 Hours with James Franco playing Aron Ralston.I think he did a great job(he got an Oscar nomination for it).I think the movies was released in 2010.

In conclusion :it's a 10/10 for this one.

Thoughts of a kid who knows what he wants,but doesn't know how to get there(1)

9 th of November,around noon, a bus going to Bucharest Otopeni Airport.There were hardly any people in the bus and the weather was foggy and somewhat depressing.The sound of whatever Romanian radio station was blasting through my headphones,as I was sitting with the small backpack between my legs.I was excited to be here. Not necessarily in the bus,but on the way to the airport,to my plane who will ultimately take me to Germany.Ok,not Germany,but Switzerland.But I would get to Germany the same day. My phone starts ringing.I look at the name on the screen ."Mum Home".Great,I haven't even left the country yet and my mother is calling to convince me of something. I bought a return ticket for my trip but warned my mother that I might not use it and come a week later. Apparently she wanted me to not postpone my return and come back on the 19 th ,when I was supposed to.I had to attend classses,she said. Oh,did I forget to mention? I'm a student in my last year a...

Red Hair Dye,Other Stuff+Question

 Hi, everybody! Happy New Year?I hope the holidays were great for all of you and,if not, things will get better!:) I know I'm not consistent when it comes to posting on the blog but sometimes I'm busy and sometimes I'm out of inspiration. The next portrait I will do will be of Shay Mitchell of Pretty Little Liars :) I'm not sure when it will be up ,but definitely this month (unless something unexpected happens) This month will be a pretty busy one for me as I have my first university exam session.I don't know if I should be scared. Considering there are subjects that I don't even know what are about, I probably should :) The session starts on January 21 and I will kick it off with a Grammatical Structures exam.In fact, it's the only  exam I actually think I'll do good in :) Another thing that happened in the month of December was this : I tried to dye my hair bright red but,obviously,that didn't turn out that great.I should have known tha...

Portrait: Shakira

Hi guys! I finally went through my portrait "collection" a couple of days ago and added a new one of Shakira. Looking back on the first portraits I've ever made I see a big difference between my most recent ones and the old ones. I'm really happy to see this development :) There are portraits I can't even look at without saying "How could I have even posted this on my blog?It's so bad !" :) But ,hey, people learn from their mistakes (or they should) and I'm aware that I still have a lot of mistakes to correct. Anyways,without further ado, this is my portrait of Colombian singer Shakira: I'm also running out of inspiration for which celebrity I should draw next. I know,I know,  there are plenty of celebrities out there but it would mean more to me if I draw someone you would really like to see. So please leave requests in the special section in the menu or by leaving a comment down below. Thanks for checking out my blog and have...
