maltatoday | SUNDAY • 30 JULY 2023 6 ALMANAC My essentials AICHA CASSAR 23, Actress I am a happy person - you will always see me with a smile on my face! I have 12 nephews and nieces which I love more than anything in the world. I love spending time with my family, and I speak five languages! I also love acting, it is a love I have always had. I guess, I just did not know how to express it during earlier stages of my life, and I am so grateful that now I do! I am also currently involved with a theatrical company called 4Jays - come check us out!! 4 5 1. Book 2. Film 3. Internet 4. Music 5. Place I do not follow a lot of me- dia influencers if I must be honest but one, I always liked (even before we became friends) is Riyana Stivala. She is so real and just so willing to do whatever to follow her dreams and what she believes in! I admire her a lot for that. TAYLOR Swift has been my favourite singer since 2015. I remember the first song I listened to was You Belong With Me. I fell in love with her style and how she writes. Gradually, I started listen- ing to more and more songs and she became my favour- ite. I love how you can create a film on every single in the Lover and Midnights album! The stories she tells through her music are wholesome. MY favourite place is Rome! Behind every corner there is something new to discover. It is gorgeous and so breath taking! Every single time I am in Rome I feel so blessed and grateful to know such a city. I have always loved reading books. I am obsessed with po- ems and writing them- I have been in love with Diary of a Romantica by Celia Martinez for a while now. In both vol- umes, her style of writing is so raw and out there, you can feel her honesty whilst read- ing every word. She puts her heart and soul into every po- em, and you can understand what kind of person she is! I believe whether you can feel as if getting to know person- ally the author through their words, really makes or breaks any book. LEVEL 16 is such a master- piece. Every scene has some- thing unexpected happening and the plot is just marvellous! I feel like so many movies now- adays can be predictable, this one was not and that's why I appreciated it so much! 3 2 Compiled by Laura Calleja suggestions by email lcalleja@mediatoday.com 1
