Twitter makes me sad:(

Fri, 09 Dec 2016 16:12:00 +0000

Hey world,

You probably noticed that i tweeted a lot less on Twitter in the past time than l used to before. You had to notice, to be honest because there were times l didn't tweet for a week, or almost a week.

Relating to this,firtsly, l would like to apologize all my Twitter friends for being so inactive, and secondly, l want to say that it's not sure to change in the future. Twitter makes me sad recently. It used to give me a good feeling every time l checked what's going on in the wide world with friends, celebrities, my idols... But now everytime before l tweet something, it costs me about an hour of struggling with myself because l don't have a feeling to do so, but at the same time, l don't want to let some of you down. Because l know you're there, excited, waiting for me to say something, tweet a photo, or answer your DMs and it's a need l have to fulfil. So i pick my pieces up together and post a photo with some words and emojis, or RT something, answer your messages and log out of Twitter as fast as l can.

Maybe it was me who did it wrong before, and it's my bad that l'm so fed up with Twitter now. You know l used to tweet a lot, share the little moments of my life because l felt like there were people out in the world who cared and who were interested in my boring life. Of course, now you come with things like "you don't have a boring life" and "what are you talking about?" but it is how l feel. And because there are still some lil angels who believe in me and support me, l get myself day after day, smile and check what's going on in Twitter.

Some of my close friends always told me l depend on Twitter and social media too much, but l always laughed at them and denied it. Now l'm realizing that there may be somekind of truth in it. Because as the number of my followers decreases, l feel like nobody there cares about me and l break down. I guess, l just need somekind of break now from this life, or at least, find harmony between Twitter and my real life. So that's what l'm willing and trying to do these days.

So please, give me some time until l figure out what l want to do and make up an outcome that's good for everyone. Here, l would also like to thank my awesome Twitter angels who are the reason l haven't deleted my account yet: thank you Lisann, you're and you'll always be my number one fan, l love you; thank you Sofia, l think we don't need words to know how we feel for each other, you know how much you mean to me; thank you Alexander, you're a real good friend l can always count on and who listens to me, you're amazing; thank you Silas, you're crazy and that's what l need on my 'rainy days'; thank you Lena, from the other side of the world, you're still always there to cheer me up; and thank you Emma, you know what l would say..so yeah:)

Besides these fairies, l wanna thank everyone who stands next to me every day of my life and tells me not to give up: my family, Lillo, April, Mia, Sal, Teus, Naomi.

Thank you,

Kim<3

2-year anniversary in Hawaii

Sun, 23 Oct 2016 16:32:00 +0000

Aloha everyone,

How have you all been? Hopefully fine, happy and relaxed with no ticking eyes because of the burden school puts on you... Well, it was with me, too. Remember l said some time ago that l loved school? Well, this thing kinda changed since then... And l finally understand why mostly everybody hates it. Okay, l don't hate it that much...l'm just fed up with it by now.

So it kinda came very useful (lol) that my amazing boyfriend Lillo decided to take me to Hawaii as a gift for our 2-year anniversary. We spent almost a week there and omg l wanna go back nearly every minute since we came home. It is just a wonderful place! Really. It has always been my huge dream to go Hawaii and it was the best way to get it from the love of my life as a present. <3 I'm gonna upload some pics about the trip in the Gallery today, so stay tuned if you wanna understand what l'm talking about. We went scuba-diving, swimming, trekking, saw a volcano and lovely villages. It was a real dream, l'm not kidding. Everyone should spend at least three days in Hawaii once in their life to become a complete person.

So l'm going now to get some food for breakfast, but then l'll be back posting photos in the Gallery and most obviously update the Music section, too.

Kisses from me and my cup of tea,

Kim <3

Meet The NDKDN Crew

Sun, 18 Sep 2016 18:11:00 +0000

*I don't say hello again because it's my 3rd post today and most obviously all of you are fed up with hellos by now*

I posted a pic the other day saying something about The NDKDN Crew and you probably wondered what the hell is that. Well, here's the answer now.

The NDKDN Crew is a school organization with the aim of helping teens feel much more comfortable in their skin and support them to never give up. The organization was formed last week and we had our first meet-up night out on Friday. We were all so glad to see that so many people were curious for the event and they showed up. I believe it's the start of something LA kids will love and will turn to us if they have a problem.

About us:

We are 5 in the group: Naomi, David, Drew, Noreen and I. Obviously, NDKDN stands for the starter letters of our names.
We all attend the same school, except for Drew who graduated last year. Us the others are all in 12th grade.
We have meet-ups, parties, night-outs and conferences once a week mainly in the themes I mentioned before, but if there's request, we speak about almost everything.
Everybody can join our organization or turn to us with their questions.

If you need any more information about NDKDN, get in contact with me on Twitter: @iamKimTaylor, or you can leave a comment down here.

Besos,
Kim <3

My first real 3 weeks of high school

Sun, 18 Sep 2016 15:52:00 +0000

Hey dear world,

Before I start the post actually I would like to announce that I got my language exam certificate in Spanish this week. :) And it's definitely happy news.
So...:

Hola querido mundo:

It may sound very weird but the title 'My first real 3 weeks of high school' is truer than you would think. Because yes, these 3 weeks were really the first 3 weeks of my high school life. How's that? - you may ask. Well, it's because I was homeschooled almost my whole life. Okay, it's right that I attended a high school too last year in Hungary but that doesn't really count as a real high school experience.

I was so so so excited for this year. You know, the feeling of being an average student among other kids, exams, surprise test (these two are not my faves though lol), graduating, school parties and so on. So many things I would have missed if I stayed homeschooled. But I didn't and I'm so happy I made this decision.

I can't really tell you hilarious stories of teacher falling asleep in class yet, but I admit that I already love this whole thing so much. You may think now that I'm crazy because almost everyone around me (and I guess almost around everyone) hates school, teachers, lessons and pretty much everything about it. But for me all is so new yet that I can't help but I enjoy it. And I hope that this will stay all year long. :D

Well, I think that's all I wanted to share with you. But no reason to be sad: a new post is coming your way right after this one about The NDKDN Crew. ;) So stay tuned!

Hugs,
Kim <3

Meeting Italian fan Sofia

Sun, 18 Sep 2016 09:32:00 +0000

Bon'di everybody,

Again it feels like I haven't posted in a while... and well yeah that's because I actually haven't posted in a while. So here's a new old one finally, about my trip to Italy and meeting my Italian fan Sofia in Venice.

You probably know that Italy and everything in connection with this beautiful country is my love of life. I love the sights of the country, the culture, the people, the food - everything. So I was extremely happy that I have the chance again to travel there and also to meet Sofia, my adorable Italian fan (but rather my friend than a fan now actually). We planned to meet first two years ago, when finally my parents didn't let me go alone, so we couldn't. Plus last year Sofia spent her summer vacacion in a 2-month-long summer camp in Malta learning English. So well yeah, after two years, we finally managed to put up a meet-up! :)

We spent 5 days together in Vencie and in the neighborhood, and I loved every minute of it. Sofia lives in the island of Burano (which is a smaller island near Venice) so she seemed to be a pretty good tour guide. We enjoyed the beauty of Venice for three days, we ate Italian pizza, tried the famous gondolas, visited the St. Marc Cathedral and pretty much just let ourselves get lost in the narrow streets and canals of the city. The following day we spent exploring Sofia's island Burano and I must admit I fell in love a lot more with this place than I could imagine before. It's not crowded, it's very neat and the people are the friendliest ever. Sofia has a brother Guiseppe who took us out on a boat trip around in the evening so we could admire the sun going down to its seabed waving good night to us. After we had a traditional dinner in one of the restaurants of the island. Gosh, I really really love Italian food, so yummy. The last day we went to Murano which is an other smaller island around there famous for its glass. We could have a look behind the scenes of making glass and it was very interesting. Then, my trip there was pretty much over and it was time for me to rush to the airport and fly home.

Here, I want to thank again for Sofia, Guiseppe and their parents that they gave me such amazing 5 days. I love ya'll. <3

Arrivederci,
Kim <3

P.s.: Photos of the trip can be found in the Gallery section :)

Hosting a festival!

Sat, 13 Aug 2016 18:29:00 +0000

Hey world,

What have ya'll been up to? I got back to LA, decorated our flat and enjoyed life in the past, since I last posted. But now, another great and very interesting thing is happening in my life!

I'M IN HUNGARY NOW HOSTING A DANCE FESTIVAL!

How did it all happen? Here's the story. I was at this festival called Gyöngy International Folklore Festival two years ago with a Hungarian friend, and it was basically the time I got in contact with Lillo's Italian friends who where performing there that year. (I knew Lillo before as well - we attended the same dance school - but it was actually the time I got friends with his friends and through them we found each other. :3) I was really into the whole festival when I was there with it's nations performing from different parts of the world, well-organized parties and public dances on the streets... Omg so good memories.

So I was all hooked when an organizor (who's my friend by the way from two years ago) asked me if I could host tonight's show as the actual interpreter had another job to do this day. I was like omg omg hell yeah, and now I'm here hosting one of my fav events I've ever been to.
Right now having a small break, that's why I could post it now. (I kinda wrote it before lol and wanted to post it after the night but it's fine now I guess.) We'll have a party together with the dancers and I really hope to get some new friends from other sides of the world!

Wish me luck on the rest of the night! Love ya'll.

Anti-bullying Project in Austria

Wed, 03 Aug 2016 08:39:00 +0000

Heya babes,

What is up with ya'll? I just realized today that it was already August and that means one month more happiness of summer! Just perfect, especially because right now I'm on my way home back to LA and that means that I finally will get some great time to spend there with my friends, have some rest and of course decorate our new flat with Lillo.

You probably know that I was in Austria the past few weeks as part of an anti-bullying project we put up together with Be Beautiful Photoing Company, my all-time photoshoot team. (Anyway, lil ad that you can already find them on Twitter too: @BeBeautiful_Co) So, the project was amazing, I enjoyed every second of it, as I could meet amazing people and held conferences and talk shows about the importance of self-confidence and ways to stop bullying. I couldn't even believe before that there were so many people out there who experienced bullying at least once in there life. Here, I would also like to admit that I myself have been subject to bullying as well when I was in Primary school and my classmates hated me all the time for various reasons. So I kinda feel it like a must that I need to help other children and youngsters to be more confident and fight against bullying.

Well, gotta go now jump on my plane lol. See you in London Heathrow next, and then LA!

Hugs,
Kim <3

Own apartment

Thu, 28 Jul 2016 16:21:00 +0000

Some of you may have already heard or read on Twitter but I decided to write a short post about it too as it's kinda an important step in my life and I try to let you know everything important that happens in my life...so my and Lillo's parents surprised us with an own apartment where we're going to live together, just the two of us.
It's a small but lovely apartment near to the center of LA but still far enough not to live in the crowd. Our plan is to decorate it before summer ends so when the school-year starts, we can start there too.
It's a big step in our life and a huge trust from our parents and for this reason we're incredibly grateful for it. Thank u all. <3

I NEED YOUR HELP!
Do you guys have any ideas what color we should paint the rooms? We want it to be colorful, so we already decided that the living room will be red and grey, but we didn't choose a color to the other rooms yet. What do you suggest? :)

Life experience: 10 months in Hungary

Sat, 18 Jun 2016 17:22:00 +0000

Sziasztok srácok!

This is how Hungarian kids greet each other. It kinda means 'Hey guys' in our language. And it was the first sentence l learned on the first day when l got here. And the sentence l used most through the 10 months of living here.

If you type 'Hungary' in Google or ask a random person about this country, they most likely will tell you things like 'it's a very poor country', 'people are so rude there', or 'oh l've never heard of it, is it really a country?'. I know, because l experienced it when l told some people l was coming here. And after this long time l'm fully shocked by what everyone thinks of this amazing place.

It's not a poor country at all, or at least l never experienced it was. Of course, it's maybe not as modern as Japan or the USA. There aren't skyscrapers, yes. But there are so many old buildings especially in Budapest that you nearly don't know which one to look at or which one to take a photo of.

People are rude? Not at all. Everybody was so friendly to me all the time, maybe even friendlier than at home in LA. Because let's be honest, there are tons of very rude people in LA, too, just like nice ones of course. But l think we can't say 'it's a rude nation and the other one is a nice nation', we can say there are rude and nice people in all nations.

And if you or your neighbor have never heard of this country, l'm sorry, but you miss something wonderful from your life. Just come here and spend only a day in Budapest, you'll see and learn what l'm talking about.

10 months is a long time. Especially if you're on the other side of the world, far from your family and friends. However, l must admit tht l was lucky as most of the times there was one of my friends or family members here with me. But l feel like if l they weren't here with me, anyway l would still enjoy my time here 100%. Because of the loving people who surrounded me.

My host family was really the best anyone can wish for. My host mom Gréta, host dad Balázs and the lil host brother Boti. They gave me so much that l'm incredibly grateful for them, for their love, understanding, patience and really everything. I'm sure l will come back to see them again.

And the new friends. You may know the feeling of being the 'new girl' in a class, it makes you nervous and you feel outstanding because everybody know everybody but you know no one. Well, here it was all different. From the very first moment, everybody was friendly and they all wanted to be friends. So yeah, l'm sure l will come back the see all the students and teachers, my new friends again.

I've seen the whole country now. Thanks to my awesome host family who took me everywhere at the weekends and after school. There are so many things to see and do in this small country. Hungary maybe doesn't have any beaches (but you have Lake Balaton and Lake Tisza) or big mountains (but you can still go for a good hike in the Matra hills) or tons of large cities (but you have Budapest which is truly the most beautiful city l've ever been to). So, if you're thinking where to go on holiday next year, come to Hungary, you won't regret it. ;)

It was quite an emotional post, l know. The fact is that l fell in love so much with the country that l don't even want to leave. But of course, things never go as we want them to, and l'm going home tomorrow.

So bye-bye Hungary and all my friends here, see you in August!

Love,

Kim<3

Boat Camp at Lake Tisza

Thu, 16 Jun 2016 19:19:00 +0000

Hey babes,

As I promised you a minute ago when I posted my last blog, here comes a brand new one! (Don't let yourselves get confused by the date at the last post that says '26 April', this cool site actually allows me to change the publishing date of a post!)

So as abviously you can tell from the title, this post is about a boat camp I had with my class here in Hungary at the second largest lake of the country between the 8th and 10th of June. Before I've rowed only a few times and to be honest I never really like this kind of sport, but this changed thanks to this amazing camp.
We set out early in the morning on Wednesday from Budapest and travelled to a small town next to Lake Tisza called Poroszló. We rowed 6 kilometers in the afternoon after getting introduced to the water, boats and safety. On Thursday we had an all-day 24-kilometers-long trip around the lake. Obviously, we all get totally tired but it was worth as we saw wonderful places and animals. Friday was the day of an exam when we had to navigate a kayak and a canoe. I can happily announce you that I got max points! :))

I hope all of you will have the chance one day to go on a trip like this when you row your boat because it's simply amazing. While it's a bit of hard work, new friendships were born and I'm sure everyone got know the others a little more as we rowed together as a big team. So yeah, just grab your family and/or friends and take them on a trip on a nearby lake or river! You won't regret! ;)
