Snooping Around

Surely you all know “A Christmas Carol”, the traditional Charles Dickens tale that tells the story of an old man named Ebenezer Scrooge, obsessed only with money and without any sense of holiday, altruism or kindness, and how the visit of three spirits taught him the true meaning of Christmas. Since it’s one of those “must” traditions, I was watching one of the movie transpositions of the novel, and I got an idea. Why not sharing with you some aspects of my past, present and future life, with maybe getting rid of some of my heavy heart? No one has ever thought about this before, and so I present it to you for the first time ever. This is “A Christmas Carol Tag”. You will be visited by three ghosts Jacob Marley Ghost. The first spirit visiting Scrooge is his old business partner Jacob Marley, represented as a corpse who is forever cursed to wander the earth dragging a network of heavy chains, forged during a lifetime of greed and selfishness. The ghost threatens Scrooge...

In order to celebrate Christmas holidays, one of the groups I follow (Blogghidee) has decided to organize a special event called "Dreams and  Christmas exchanges" (the actual name is Sogni e Scambi di Natale).

But this time is not so simple, because I must necessarily share with you what I am about to write. For me 2014 was not so great.

Anyway, I always hope for a better tomorrow, something a lot of people don' t keep doing. I could write down all my desires, like being good at university and maybe publish the book I'm currently writing. Believe me, my "Bottle of Dreams" is huge. But this is not what I have in my heart...

Incredible but true. I still cannot believe that Snooping Around was awarded the Liebster Blog Award. Needless to say I'm on cloud nine. But if you have never heard of it, you're probably asking yourselves: "What is the Liebster Blog Award?". Actually the word Liebster comes from the German language, and it means "beloved". So, in this case, the actual meaning is "favorite blog". But winning this award is not so simple. You have to do 5 things to officially receive it, and in this "SPECIAL article" (notice I write special in Caps Lock to emphasize the importance of this) I will do it. First I think few information is required.  This award exists only on the internet, and is given to bloggers by other bloggers and it follows similar principles as a chain letter, in the sense that it should be passed forward to a certain number of people. The rules are simple to follow. If you have been nominated for The Liebster Award and you choose to...
