There are a lot of things I want to share with you guys, so I thought I’d make a post writing about them all. These are some of the things I’ve been liking this month…
Taylor Swift – Shake it Off
Well, I bet most of
you have already seen Taylor’s new video. I must say I really loved it; it’s
fun and Shake it Off is a song with a
great message. I’ve talked before about the importance of just being yourself
and never caring about what others think of you or what they assume of you, so
I think this song perfectly describes what to do in those situations :)
Mika – Live Your Life
I’m a huge fan of
Mika, he’s INCREDIBLE. I’ve been loving this song pretty much since it came
out; I love the lyrics and the music is just so happy and catchy. And how
awesome is that little part in Spanish!! :3 I’ve also been liking his song Boum Boum Boum a lot; when I listened to
the lyrics I realized it’s very different from what he usually sings, but it’s very
catchy too.
Annett Louisan
Annett is a German singer,
and I fell in love with her music after I discovered her a few months ago. Her
lyrics are amazing and her voice is just so soothing! Even if you don’t
understand German I think you might enjoy her beautiful songs.
TV & Movies
How to Train Your Dragon 2
Weeell, I’m
cheating a little bit here. I went to see this in July, the day it came out :)
And I have to say I LOVED it!!! I think I actually liked this more than the
first one, and I really love that one! It’s just… there were so many dragons :’)
it was beautiful. I wanted Valka’s life so bad when watching this! And all the
attention Ruffnut was getting from the boys… that was hilarious! Seriously, if
I could become a character designer for a movie like this one day (where they
wear this kind of clothes and stuff, I mean) I’d be SO FREAKING HAPPY.
The Neighbors
This TV show didn’t
exactly just come out, but it just started airing here. I don’t know what it is
but I find it really entertaining. Maybe it’s because some of the things that
happen are so absurd and weird that it’s just very funny. And I do love the
alien dad’s accent. Although I don't understand why it's being aired here just now since it's already been canceled in the US. Oh well...
Bienvenidos al Lolita
I think most of you
won’t even know this one; it’s a Spanish TV show and it came out this year. It’s
about a modern cabaret, and all the people who work there live together and they’re
just so close they’re practically family. It’s very cute and funny, I’ve been
really enjoying it. Spanish television is incredibly good, I always end up
watching their shows. Sadly, this one was canceled too :(
Food
Mini Ice Cream Sandwiches
There’s this place on campus where they sell ice cream sandwiches; it’s just some ice cream
between two cookies of your choice, no big deal… just pure AWESOMESS, I SAY.
Every time my friends and I go get one of those, we always end up with a little
tummy ache… and it’s SO worth it! Since I haven’t had any classes this past
couple of months, I’ve started making my own ice cream sandwiches, but in a smaller
version. The sad part? I really love coffee ice cream, but it’s been hard to
find lately, same with good cookies (you know I live in Venezuela and we’re
going through A LOT), buuut just the other day, after weeks of not finding that
ice cream, my mom actually found one and brought it home, hurray!! So I’ve been
making these sandwiches with small chocolate chip cookies and either coffee or
chocolate ice cream. Just look at this beauty…
The Iron Fey series by Julie Kagawa
Well, this is no
surprise if you’ve seen my previous blog posts. I’ve seriously been enjoying
this series; I recently finished the third book, so there’s a review coming
soon :)
The Secret Diary of Lizzie Bennet by Bernie Su
and Kate Rorick
I just started this
one, I’ve been wanting to read this book since I’m a huge Pride and Prejudice
fan and I LOVED this show when it came out. I decided to read this before I
continue with The Iron Fey; when I’m reading long series, especially fantasy
ones, I sometimes feel the need to rest a little and read a nice short book.
Atelier Meruru: The Apprentice of Arland
(PlayStation 3)
The Atelier games
are so much fun! They’re really cute too. I just finished this one today and
was so sad about it, it’s just too good. I’ve been writing a review about the
first game in the series, Atelier Rorona: The Alchemist of Arland, so you’ll be
reading that one very soon :) I might write one for this Atelier game too.
Kitchen Scramble (iPad)
I have to say that
I love to play cute little games like this from time to time. I just got it for
our iPad and it’s pretty nice, I must say.
Websites
Codecademy
Like I’ve mentioned
before, I study Software Engineering. I thought about making these little
courses online to practice a bit and learn some new things too. I really
recommend this website if you want to learn a little bit of HTML, CSS and
things like that :)
Goodreads
Weeell, this is no
surprise. At all. I think Goodreads is always a favorite of mine, but I’ve
spent so much time on Goodreads lately, adding so many books to my to-read list,
it’s insane… I LOVE GOODREADS SO FREAKING MUCH.
YouTube
Emma Approved
Emma Approved is a
YouTube series created by the same people who made The Lizzie Bennet Diaries. I’ve
been watching this since it started almost a year ago and I’m really sad it
just ended. The actors were perfect and the way the writers changed the story
was flawless. I’m going to miss this :(
The Lizzie Bennet Diaries
Uhm well, yeah… I’m
rewatching this since I’m currently reading the book ♥. This YouTube series is just too perfect; one
of the best ideas someone has ever had… And no! I am not exaggerating!
polandbananasBOOKS
I just found this amazing
girl who makes videos about books and their adaptations. She’s hilarious guys,
if you like reading you should just subscribe to her channel, like right now. I’ve
been watching almost all of her videos (some of them contain spoilers, so I’m
staying away from those before reading the books) and I wish I had found her
channel before. I feel I can relate to her, and I bet most avid readers do. She
just gets it.
Miscellaneous
Mechanical Pencil
Yes. Yes, I’m
including a mechanical pencil on my favorites list, what’s your point?
Just look at that
lead! That thing is just asking to be drawn with!!! ♥
I went out the
other day and when I saw this pencil I just fell in love, for real. You just
don’t want to go with me when I’m pencil shopping (or shopping for anything art
related, really), unless you’d like to see a girl in her early twenties behave
like a little kid who was just taken to the toy shop to pick anything they like...
This is also how I get when I’m shopping for books and video games.
Comparison with 0.5mm lead
I hope you like my
favorites list and found some things that caught your attention :)
Thank you for
reading! Bye-Bye! ♥
