Help.......

Shelter- Homelessness means not having a home. Some people have no roof over their head and sleep on the street, in doorways or on night buses. But much more homelessness is hidden – on a friend's sofa or spare room, or in squats.

.

 

So walking through the streets of luton these past couple of months i have really noticed that there are quite alot of homeless people around. Back where i used to live in Bracknell there was literally none.

 

When it was a bit warmer i didn't really pay much attention, i was like OH theres a homeless person id feel bad for them, yet not give them anything that would help them out. This probably sounds really stupid, but this past week the weather has been SO cold, and its only just clicked that these homeless people must be freezing on another level. And it does make me feel so bad. I was in Mc Donald's the other day and a homeless person came up to us and said that he's just come out of hospital with pneumonia and that if we had any spare change it would be really useful, i gave him what ever was in my pocket which was about 20p....probably no use at all really.

 

Its kind of just made me really think, normally i feel bad for a person for a minute and then i move on and selfishly think of myself again. Ive noticed that i can be pretty selfish, i worry about myself too much when theres other people out there that probably are worrying about real, serious issues that are more important. I think i need to realise this a bit better, and actually help people that really need it.

 

That's my challenge i think, maybe i could buy a homeless person a coffee, or give them something that will keep them warm. Something that will be of use other than me lieing to them saying "I'm sorry"....i don't mean it, I'm just not bothering with them. I don't want to be that kind of person.

The Christmas Season is upon us..

Hello....its me Emily and I'm back with a blog post in under 10 days? A miracle you say? I think so! Hahaaa

 

So again not that any of my blog posts has a specific theme, I just end up rambling my thoughts and theory's to you...which hopefully you enjoy? If not maybe leave me some suggestions on what I could post about on here!

 

So the Holiday seasons are upon us...CHRISTMASSSS....I can-not-wait! I love the winter, I love wearing coats, gloves and hats, I love hearing the fireworks and Ii love a good old get together with the family! And this year I'm really, really excited because Ive been split up from the family for about 3 months. We've all been up to new and crazy things and now I just cant wait to see how everybody is and to have some good old giggles! :D

What are you most looking forward to this Christmas? :)

This was from a couple of Christmas' ago..My good friend Louise Groom took it! Go find her on face book! (Louise Groom Photography) :D

 

 

Blaa

I fear this blog post will be a very rambley, all over the place mess! So read...if you wish to read the thoughts of a 20 year old uni student girl.

Ahhh so basically I'm having a proper girly "Why doesn't he like me? Does he like me? Maybe he likes her? Do i like him? Maybe we're just friends?" day. I'm hoping allot of people get days like this occasionally otherwise i now seem like a very desperate lonely person hahaa.

See i think Ive always been a pretty awkward person when it comes to guys, back in secondary school i barley had no proper guy friends, and then i went to college and made some guy friends and now being at uni theres just so many that I'm just starting getting more comfortable with them. The only problem is.. if i start speaking to a guy and they do one nice thing or say one nice comment i begin to really like them, and for me its hard to decide weather i like them like them, or there just a good friend like them! See i told you i was an awkward person hahaa I think i just see the very best in everyone and maybe that makes me slightly confused.

Anyway i believe theres someone i like, i just don't know if they like me or not, i think he likes me as a friend but then he does things and me being a girl might just over think things...you know how us girls are! I don't know, my plan for relationships and just life in general has always been to just go with the flow and see how it works out, don't push anything or try and make things happen because if its meant to be then its meant to be.

But on the other hand theres always the "say it before its too late" thing.

 

Ive tried this once, kinda a funny story now but its probably why I'm too scared to do it again. I really liked this dude, and thought I'm just going to ask him out....and yep you guessed it, it did not go well hahaa The dude just didn't reply! Kinda funny, kinda sad but its fine because maybe it just wasn't meant to be......its cool, I'm over it! *wipes imaginary tear from cheek* hahaaa

 

Yeahhhhh this had no point to it other than...Emily likes someone and is over thinking things waaaay to much!

 

Hope you enjoyed! Maybe you could give me some advice?! Hahaa

UNI

Yep, yep,yep......i know! Its been a while, but I'm writing this now so alls forgiven? :)

I am here, Bedfordshrie university has a new student called Emily Field Gillard and she's loving it!

Theres so much to catch up on!

Ill start from the beginning, i was so nervous/excited/scared. My mother, father and grannyma came to drop me off and i think i kept on cracking some jokes in the car to try and keep me calm, which kinda worked. I arrived and me and my mumma went it signed all the forms, got the keys and had a sneaky look at the room before my grannyma and father. My first impression of the room was "Woah" It was pretty cool... it really did feel like the big brother house looking at it haha.

Then my family stayed for a little bit and we just had to make the goodbyes quick...i thought this was for the best otherwise i would of had them there all the time! I unpacked all my things and then plucked up the courage and walked in the kitchen with my toaster and gave a massive wave with the comment "I got us a toaster!" I thought just say anything to brake the ice and it kinda worked. I instantly made friends with two girls one named Alexx and one named Georgia. Me and Alexx thought we should do a bit of shopping and she showed me around the town as i didn't really know my way around, we also brought bread and apples together...i knew from then on she was going to be one of my good friends!

Me and Alexx then went to the student union and we made some friends with one of her friends and there flat mates so that was pretty cool. I think we pretty much went out every night for the first couple of weeks. One night we went to a quiz night and we didn't have a team so we tagged along with these people called Holly, Cheyenne, jack, Connor and mark and ever since then we've been hanging around with them. I actually love them all so much, they are all really cool and funny and i feel like Ive made some really good friends :) We also met Kish, Adam, Anna, Will, Bill, Sammy, Sam, lou-lou and Emily! Everyone is so cool! Me and Emily love the fact we've got the same name and everytime we see each other we shout EMILYYYY! :D Hahaa And also we met these two students that have been here before Helen and Nelly and they are really nice, As you can tell i just love everyone at uni!

Another thing that's happened is that me and Alexx and this girl named nichola have started a radio show, which is honestly the most coolest thing i think Ive ever done! I love it, we get to talk about what we want, we get to play what ever songs we want and its just a great little hobby that I'm loving at the moment, so tune in 97.1 every Wednesday 2-4 :D Hahaa

Its so hard to summarise everything that's happened because as you can tell its now November so three months have past. Ill have to *try* and keep this more updated, i just got excited with life and forgot i should probably write it down!

P.S, i should probably tell you about the course.....I LOVE IT! Which is a big relief as i was really unsure if i would or not!

Also here's my face! :)

An Adventure with Louisey!

Hi there!

 

I don't think Ive properly introduced my friend Louise Groom on my blog yet, but she has been one of my best friends for 10 years........woah, I just worked that out just now and it seems its been quite a while haha!

 

Anyway, me and Louise love going on little adventures, seeing new places and making videos which we put on the good old youtuberino, so these past few days we have been busy doing just that. we were in much need of a new video and so Louise (Being the smarty that she is!) suggested we make an artsy video which we have never really done before. I loved this idea, it was a chance for us to explore the forest and I was intrigued to find out where this field was which Louise had been telling me about.

 

The first day of shooting our video we both wore some pretty dresses and just did some basic shots of the long grass, some landscape scenery and shots of us looking lost in the forest which was quite fun I must say!

 

 

 

The next day Louise suggested getting up really early and riding out bikes to this pretty place she knew about. Now me being me I'm not the best at getting up at what I call silly'o'clock, but Louise is more than prepared to getting up at this time as she is a photographer and likes to get up early taking photos of the wildlife that is about. It was a challenge i must say, I haven't seen that time of the day in quite a while, however I still got up, got dressed and was there to meet Louise in enough time.

 

Now getting up was the least of out worries, the bikes on the other hand were another type of challenge. To put this politely, I now think bike seats are the most uncountable things I have ever sat on in my life and by the end of our little trip our little bottoms hurt.....allot!

 

Other than the challenge of riding the bikes, once we were at our destination it was all worth it, the pretty purple flowers, birds, horses and cows were great to see and we got some great shots of our video.

 

Now my next challenge is to try and get my computer to download these videos.......wish me luck!

 

I shall leave a link to mine and Louise's you tube channel for you to have a gander at, and once the video is edited I shall let you all know! :)

Ill see your beautiful face soon! :)

 

 

New Hair *and A smidge of Positive thinking

Ola people of the interweb, how are you today?

Me? Well today Emily (Myself) has had a bit of a change, in the form of some pink hair and a hair cut!

 

I have been trying to grow my hair long you see for quite a while and whilst this was going really well (and I mean the best its ever got!) I eventually decided to pluck up the courage and finally whack in a bit of bright pink in my long blond locks. Now although I personally thought it looked rather cool, I began to realise that none of my clothes really went with the punk pink look I was going for, so today I had most of the pink cut off :( Nevertheless I'm still pretty happy that I did it, its something that Ive always wanted to do and it was quite fun applying it onto my hair, I still have some pink in it, just not as out there as before! Hahaa

 

 

 I know I said that I wanted to keep Saturdays a fashion girly type of blog post but I just wanted to share this with you. I feel that sometimes in my life I stop myself doing things because I'm scared of what people will say to me, but this week I just went with what I wanted to do and died my hair bright pink, I didn't worry about what other people thought, I just did what I wanted my hair to be like.

 

And I have to say it felt good having a little crazy moment!

Anyway I would encourage anyone to just go crazy with there hair, after all you can always cut it and it will grow! I feel like dieing your hair, experimenting with fashion is a way for expressing yourself and I felt like in my past I have been only doing things to what I thought others would think instead of what I thought, lets change this is what I'm thinking from now on!

Have a jolly good day!

The BEST days EVERR!

Hello again my friends!

 

This blog post is about the wonders and magical events that happen in a festival, and if you worried about going to a festival or have never been then hopefully this post will persuade you that its the most amazing and funniest thing you'll be apart of EVERR!

 

I'm pretty new to the festival scene, Ive always been that kid who would die to go to a festival and watching my cousins go to Glastonbury every year always made me so jealous.. it looked and sounded so amazing and i have been determined ever since to experience the muddy wellys, the rubbish filled fields, the smelly toilets and most importantly the amazingly talented musicians.

Reading 2012

 

Last year was my first experience at Reading Festival, i went with my friend Zoe and to be quite honest it was a dream. Everything and everyone was so friendly, you would literally just make friends with people you standing next to, its like your one great big family that is only connected through the music. You dance like crazy people, sing like drunk cats and just laugh hysterically. I have always loved music, but I'm one of those annoying people that cant pick a favourite anything! As long as it has a beat or a strum and ill go for it....even if i don't have a clue what it is. I find it so interesting listening to new artists/bands live.. i think that's why i love festivals so much because you can find out this whole new world of music that you've never listened to before.

 

Last year the best moment for me at the festival was listening to the Foo Fighters...now before i got to reading festival i knew a couple of there most famous songs but have never really gone in depth and researched all there other music....after Reading fest i become a massive fan of the foo fighters, i loved every single song they sang and it was just plain magical...Dave grohl-now the best person ever in my eyes! (The word magical will probably keep popping up in this blog! hehe)

 

Also one thing i would like to say as well, when you go to these festivals with your friends its the most enjoyable thing ever. Me and my friend Zoe have sooo much fun! Honestly my best memory's from our friendship are the times at Reading festival. Just SO many funny memory's are made when you go there, so its great to go with someone who loves music as much as you do!

 

READING 2013..........Well this year it was some-thing-else

 

I Don't think Ive ever had that much fun, We literally danced like a group of monkeys.....but i loved it! You just don't care at a festival..you can dance however you like, wear what ever you like and sing from the freaking rooftops and no-one will judge you...to be honest they will most probably join in with you (from our experience anyway!) Hahaa 

 

This year i tagged along with Zoe Venn, Young Venn (Zoe's younger Brother) and another girl named Emily! This year was AMAZING! So many amazing people i listened to.

 

Frank Turner=Simply incredible,

Green day=Amazing,

Spector=A Blooming Joyous event,

Eminem+Dido=Great stuff,

Imagine Dragons=Flipping Crazily good!,

Bastille=Glorious,

Foals=SO good!

White Lies=Surprisingly Great!

System of a down=Actually Loved them

Chase and Status=Danced like a crazy lady!

Alex Clare=Super Talented and freaking loved his voice!

Tribes-Loved them!

The Lumineers- They went in the crowd! They were Crazy!

Fall out boy- Sung (again) Like a loud cat!

 

and last but not least and the main reason why this festival was sooo special was because of us seeing

BIFFY FRICKIN CLYROOO!

 

You do not understand how much Ive wanted to see them live! I got my friend Zoe into them around like 4 years ago.. and for us now to of seen him live! Mannnnnn i am now complete! :D

 

I actually just cant explain my excitement for this festival no words are good enough, it was just the most funniest time Ive had in a while and i really needed to just let go which is what we achieved this weekend.

One of the best parts of this year - you see my and my friend Zoe well at this festival we've realised we are pretty geeky/nerdy, we listen to all these like cool, rocky, indie, pop, r'n'b kinda music yet dance like a couple of 80 year old cheesy disco dancers. So yeah that's got to be one of my favourite memory's this year just us really not caring about what we looked like and laughing like fools.

 

My all time most special moments of this year was definitely Biffy Clyro though! Just hearing the whole crowed sing together and seeing them look so happy at performing for us and for us knowing the words just makes me overfilled with happiness for being in that moment.

 

So as you can tell Ive just shed all my positive emotions with you about going to a festival...i cant even find a single negative when going to a festival! Sooo please if you ever get the chance to go take it with both hands and don't let go! Hahaa It will be one of the best experiences of your life...trust me!

 

I will now share you some of the photos i took

Anyway i hope you enjoyed this blog post...i sure did love writing it! As you probably can tell with all my !!!!!! and lettersssssssssss and :D's

 

Have a jolly good day!

Zoe's Birthday and Go-Ape!

Hello again my friendlings!

So on Saturday 17th August was the first day of my buddy Zoe's Birthday Celebrations, and I have to say I was very excited! Every year since Ive meet Zoe Ive been invited to celebrate her birthday round her house with her family and friends for a BBQ and other cool things like playing Rock Band and this year we got to play with a pool table, (which I was not the best at heheee). Zoe's the last of my friends to turn 20 which is quite scary now.....we're all 20! Ahhhh!

The Venn's BBQ as I call it was great..... music, food, games and a massive tent thing, the perfect combination for a birthday get-together I think! For Zoe's birthday this year I got her the Magic summertime CD, I thought id get this for her as I know she loves a bit of Magic on the radio and we always end up singing to all the great tunes, I think she loved it! It was a blooming fun day :)

The day after, Sunday 18th, we went to go-ape! Go ape is a adventure activity where you jump off trees, swing on ropes and slide on zip wires.....all at like 500000000 feet in the air (maybe a bit of an exaggeration!). We all got there and had to wait quite a while to get started which was quite nerve racking because all I could think about was jumping the first post to the net hahaa!

So by the time we played 40/40-in in the wood and went to get food it was practically time to start the monkey like activities. So first the instructor lady told us how to attach our self's to the trees and then it was time to do it all by our self's I have to say though...once you jumped that first net you kinda got yourself all adrenalined up for the next activity. It honestly was the coolest thing to do for your birthday I think and it really makes you concur your fears, Emily recommends! Hahaa

It really has been a lovely couple of days!

 

And the next thing i have to look forward to is READING FESTIVAL!!! WOOO!

 

PS. if your interested I actually love making videos on the you tube! So if you would like to have a look ill leave a video down below! (I make things from stop motions to silly videos of me doing pointless things! hahaaa)

 

 

Things are Changing!

Ahhh its an exciting yet scary time at the moment in the Field Gillard household!

 

Today in the early morning I was awake nervously waiting to hear my brother get up to get ready to hear if he got the correct grades to get into uni. I was probably just as nervous as him but have tried to hide it well over the past few weeks, tried to make him feel as its not a big deal as he is young and has loads of opportunity's to choose from still.

 

So he got up and shared the great news that he got into Portsmouth uni! WOOO! Happy was an understatement, you could tell that he was relieved that all the stress, studying and late nights paid off and I am unbelievably proud of the kid! To be honest with you, he is the reason why I chose to stay at college and go to uni, he's a smart dude and I wanted to show him that I his big sister will chase for something big also.

 

So that's it, me and Danny boy shall be parting ways on our own two feet to study in the big world of university. Although I am so excited to make new friends, studying something that I am passionate for and to be living on my own with a bunch of other likewise students.......... I am also freaking out, and somewhat nervous about where ill be returning home and when ill be seeing my family and friends again. A bit dramatic I know.. as its not like I'm never going to see them again hahaa!

 

Anyway, these couple of weeks have been very eye-opening to me, things are going to change rather fast, and after spending a couple of days with my family I have started to make me realise that somethings are just are not worth worrying about.

 

I like to think I'm the type of person who supports people and tries to make them feel good about themselves, I I'm not perfect and make mistakes, but recently I feel that sometimes I tend to let people make me feel bad about myself and I tend to take it to heart which is my fault I know because I don't stick up for myself. Being with family really helped me see that time is better spent with people who are nice to you all the time. Its always fun to laugh at each other and I have no problem with laughing at myself, but when there is a line that is crossed it makes you rethink things, and life's way to short to be with people that make you feel bad about yourself. Which is why from now on I'm going to focus my attention on the people that like me for being weird, and strange and laugh about it, not the ones who see being that way as a negative thing.  

Whats been most great for me in these couple of weeks has been spending time with my brother. We've both been very busy in our own little lives these past couple of years and I don't think we've really spent that much time together, so it was nice playing a pointless game of catch, taking stupid pictures and playing a game of cards, simple activities but nice. Even though I embarrass him on probably a daily bases and he annoys me by telling me off for being stupid... I'm gonna miss the kid when we go away!

 

 

 

University will be the time of making friends, staying in touch with my friends/family and finding out what I'm good at and what I'm not.......... and I'm so looking forward to this adventure.

 

 

Speak soon my flower Potts! :D

500 Days of Summer

Hi there my Sunshine's!

 "I think me calling you really cheesy names will become a regular occurrence hehe"

 

 

 

I Watched the film "500 Days of Summer" the other day, Ive always been aware of the film just never watched it, however yesterday I found it being played on TV so I sat with my cookies and tea and I have to say I rather enjoyed it.

 

The film really made me think about fate. Ive always been a strong believer in fate, every time i see the number 5 I instantly have to go towards it I feel like its lucky and meant to be if anything is revolved within that number. Its the same when ever I see a white feather, I believe that someone is watching over me, I feel safe and lucky when ever I see a white feather. Its like I'm always trying to find clues and things that will make what ever situation I'm in seem more meant to be, now i know some may argue this is all just a coincidence than fate.

 

I like having this attitude towards life though, i think believing in things that are crazy and beyond believe just makes life more fun and interesting. I think when having this attitude it makes me dream more about things that i can do rather than what i cant do.

 

 

 

This picture has nothing do to with the blog post, i just love the picture! :)

 

Ooooopsy Daisy!

Woahh woahh woahhh!

 

Well.......Its been quite a while, i knew this would happen, i seem to phase in and out of things by getting distracted by..... other things!

 

I should probably update you again with whats happening I'm the world of Emily. Firstly i told you in my previous blog post that i was applying for uni and good news my friends.... I GOT IN! I made the grades, Ive got my confirmation letter and Ive got all my accommodation sorted and now i am SO excited to start a new chapter in my life.

 

Applying for uni was quite a scary process, every little detail matters and its all such a long waiting game. I think the most scary thing for me was waiting to get the confirmation email i just had this little voice in my brain that kept telling me that something will go wrong! But luckily so far everything is working out.......phew!

 

Now that i know I'm definitely going and i only have a little more of a month in my home town with my friends and family nerves are kicking in. Just the normal worries i think, worried about making new friends, worried about managing my money, worried about leaving people i know and love! But with all these things i am excited about them as well, its all an adventure and there is nothing more Emily (me) likes than a good old adventure!

 

So I'm trying to spend my last month here doing fun things and creating more cool memory's! So far I've been on a little beach break with my friend Amy which was great fun, then tomorrow i am heading for a little Holiday with my brother and my granny ma which I'm really looking forward to because we haven't really had a little family holiday with my granny ma and brother for ages so this should be fun! And then to top it off its my friends Zoe's 20th birthday! So celebrations include a Venn's BBQ and possibly go-Ape i believe this year! Also i believe I'm making plans with my friend Louise to make an artsy video for our youtube and possibly venture to an all you an eat restaurant which i just can not resist! So I'm really excited about all this stuff!

 

I love spending time with friends and family especially when i haven't seen them in a while its great catching up and we always seem to have a right laugh and a half when were together! And this year i am becoming allot more prepared and bringing the good old cam cam to take some much needed pics!

 

 

So its all been a bit crazy these past few months! I shall try to keep things more updated on here and maybe do some other topics apart from the usual Emily update blog posts.

Anyway my Butterfly's....Have a Fluttering Awesome day!  

Intro....

Long time no speak!

So i thought to start off this little blogging phase I'm going through, maybe i should give you a bit of information about me and my life so far?

My full name is Emily Frances Field Gillard, I'm 20 years old i love the colour yellow bla bla blaaa...okay that's a bit boring!

I was born on the 21st April to my parents Karen, who was 18 and Mark, who was 19. I wasn't the most pleasantest site as a baby because you see i was born yellow from having jaundice, weird i know. However its quite funny cracking that into conversations sometimes! I remember being surrounded by loads of family members as a baby which was quite nice, and i always loved playing with my cousins at my granny mas house.

On the 12th of May my little brother Daniel was born! (His Birthdays tomorrow, He will be 18! Eeeek!) At first i clearly didn't have a clue i had a brother, when some of my family members came around and finished helping put up Daniels cot i thought they forgot to take him with them, to my surprise i found out he was here to stay! I liked having a little brother around, i got to teach him cool things growing up and we share so many funny memory's!

Around the year 2002, i got another brother, in the form of a dog! Toby was his name, such a funny dog! Again i got to teach him cool things and he even let me dress him up!

Secondary school came next, i have to say had its pro's and con's.
Pro's: Met some Amazing people
Con's: Met some mean people
In the last year of secondary school my mother and father split up after some issues which i wont bore you with. It wasn't really a surprise but it did shock the system if you know what i mean. Things do go a bit rocky now and again with certain issues but the most important thing Ive learnt to deal with the whole thing is that, i know we all love each other no matter what problems we've all got!

College was were i suddenly loved learning, probably because it was with people who appreciated everyone and their work, everyone was so friendly! Met some Amazing people that i will never forget :) I also went to new york with the college as well which was......amazing!

During my time in secondary school and college i started going to church! First i found the whole experience scary, but i realised that everyone is so equal there. I'm a 100% sure being involved with the church and learning about Jesus helped me as a person, Ive become so much more confident than what i was. At the moment I'm still pretty in the middle about the whole thing, but i just love learning more about Christianity.

SO that's most of my life so far!

I''m now in my last year of college after studying media, and i will soon hopefully (Fingers Crossed) be going to Uni to study TV Production. So things will be changing quite allot again, Mother will be moving to Bournemouth, Daniel will be going to Uni in Portsmouth and my Father will be in his flat. Even though its scary.......its exciting as well!

I want to travel, i want to record pictures and videos and i want to make more memory's with friends and family!

So there you go, You know quite a bit about me now.

Speak sooooooooooon!

Emily
