Halloween?
Hey everyone. It is I
Well... It's that time of the year again. It's time for monsters and ghouls to come out, kids to knock on doors and ask for candy, and to avoid all those horror specials on TV.
Halloween.
Wait, what?
IT'S ALMOST HALLOWEEN??
Time does fly by quickly, doesn't it? (@_@) A few days ago I was just cramming for the second quarter end requirements for school. Which really was just a couple of days ago. Haha
*awkward*
Now, about Halloween. It's not that I hate the event or anything. I'm actually cool with it.
But
please. No horror movie marathons ｡･ﾟﾟ･(>д<)･ﾟﾟ･｡
As you can see, I get scared really easily, so I can't stand horror movies. Gore is fine though.
I actually like gore (*≧▽≦) Strange, isn't it (^_^;)
What's stranger is that I love scaring people, but I dislike being scared myself. But then, who isn't like that?ヽ(^o^ヽ)
Anyhow, I shall talk about my thoughts about this occasion, because I really can't wait for a later time to publish this (> u >). The second post about
The Count of Monte Cristo can wait >__<
SO.
Yeah. The only reason that I really dislike Halloween because of the horror specials on TV! It will make me look like a coward, but I'll say it-- I am eaaaasily creeped out by those things. I dislike any talk about paranormal activities, ghouls (Except creepypastas. I love creepypastas.), contact with spirits, haunted things, sadako (the only acceptable sadako is
this anime character >_>), and every other scary thing out there. Ugh. Especially Chucky. He's... an ugly doll >_<
His overalls, though (^∇^) Cute (^～^)
Hmmm.... Actually that's it. That's the only thing I dislike about Halloween (aside from
it being a pagan holiday, but then again. As long as you don't use Ouija boards and stuff, I guess it's fine ︶▽︶ ). I just dislike horror. LOL.
Anyways, what's good about Halloween issss...... CAAANDY (//●⁰౪⁰●)//
I've never been trick-or-treating before in my life, though xD I've always relied on our small candy stash at home for my sweet fix (｡´∀｀)ﾉ
Also, every Halloween, I have an excuse to get cozy and listen to jazz, to catch up with my reading, and have a nice cup of peppermint tea on my table.
Ah~~ <3
So yep. Also, it's a good chance to spend some quality time with the family. Maybe... to watch some movies at home (no horror, please ╥﹏╥ ), or bake treats together?
Yeah. I wanna do that.(๑✧◡✧๑)
Anyways, for my next couple of posts, I'll be writing a very short list of different ways to spend your Halloween, if you're staying home like me (ﾉ´ヮ´)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧ I'll probably make two versions of it. You'll see what I mean once we get there~ (> u <)
And... yeah! That's it for now, mates. What are your thoughts on Halloween? Do you love it, or are you okay with it, or maybe a teeny tiny bit scared like me? (^_^;) Feel free to leave a comment below~
Ciao, mia amicos! See you~ ( ^-^)/
Reactions to "The Count of Monte Cristo"
Hello, my friends ( ^-^)/ Once again, it is I.
So. These past couple of weeks, we've been studying about literature in our English class. Guess what book we're studying.
... Well.... It's in the title, so... (>__<;)
ANYWAYS. I reaaally wanted to read it for a while now, but I haven't been able to... because.... *creepily whispers* Hetalia fanfics....
Alright!~ So, lemme give you the gist of the book.
There's this dashing, young man named Edmond Dantes, yeah? He's got life good. He just got home from a long journey on the
Pharaon (that's the name of the boat he's a crew member of), was about to be promoted to captain, and was about to get married to this pretty lady named Mercedes. Life was sweet.
BUT! There's that small group of people who dislike our young protagonist.
Long story short, they framed Edmond for a crime, he got imprisoned, and when he finally escaped, poor Dantes was yearning for revenge. And thus.... *loud, creepy whisper* the tale begins.
Okay, so my first impression was.... well, I was captured. I love the book. It's.... It's.... It's beautiful (T u T)
I love his writing style. *raises hand* Friends, friends. This book is GLORIOUS. *sparkly eyees*
I mean, yeah sure, he uses a lot of deep words, and includes a lot of post-Napoleonic era political references and whatnot... But WHATEEVVVEER (> u >) Survive the first few chapters, and everything will start heating up (> u <) So much drama at the middle part >_>
As for the cons... Well... All I can say is that I think Edmond Dantes is pretty angst-y (>_>)
I can imagine him like Eren Jaeger from Shingeki no Kyojin. Except, instead of being obsessed with titans, he's obsessed with revenge. I can see him go all "REVENGE REVENGE REVENGE REVENGE REVEEENGE".
But gotta admit, I also imagine him as a really awesome adult guy. Like, Sebastian Michaelis or something. An angst-y Sebastian. Whew. Or maybe that's just my anime fangirl side talking.
On a side note, I wanna make a comparative analysis of this one and Jose Rizal's
El Filibusterismo. They are so similar >_>
Right now, it's half past 10 pm, and I've got an exam about this. Wheeee, so this post is kinda short. Sorry (^_^;)
I shall put up another post once my exams are over to make up for it~
So, has any of you read this book yet? What are your thoughts? Feel free to leave a comment below ( ^-^)/
(( a reeeally small P.S.: to the kind soul out there who followed my blog, thank you ;w; You need not reply back to this random banter of mine, but still. Thank you >u< *showers to you all my love and cakes and wonderful Earl Grey tea* ))

Hello, my friends~ ＼(^▽^＠)ノ
How're you all doing?~ (〜￣▽￣)〜
Me? I'm doing well, thank you very much ^_^ We got a quiz tomorrow, though. Gotta study for that >_<
Well, anyways... My friend told me this a few days ago.
Apparently....
Hetalia's getting a new season <3
I looked it up, as well. So... I guess the news is true xD

YAY (*≧▽≦)/
Oh, this is glorious news (￣▽￣)
Imma read it, but I shall await its animation (> u <)
So, are you guys excited about this? xD
Feel free to leave a comment... or something ✿♬ﾟ+.(｡◡‿◡)♪.+ﾟ
Dear Mr. Henshaw
Hello everyone~ It's already past 11:30 pm, so I'll make this quick ^_^
I just finished re-reading
Dear Mr. Henshaw, a book by Beverly Cleary.
Oh, the feels are like problems. They slowly pile up, and you don't notice them, but in the end... BOOM! It falls on you like an avalanche. Sort of like the anime Little
Busters!. I love that anime. Sort of like a happy kind of series... then you know what happens next. I like Kyousuke. Spontaneity level = OVER 9000!
Buut... I digress.
Gosh.... That book is sad >_<
I love it.
Aaand... since I
did read it, might as well tell you guys about it.
It's about Leigh Botts (he's a guy with a girly name... like the guys from
Free! xD), and "Mr. Henshaw", his favourite author. Leigh wrote letters to him, and one day, his teacher required them to write a paper about their favourite authors. You know what happens next.
So, Leigh asked Mr. Henshaw some questions. And, Mr. Henshaw's reply sort of started a change in Leigh...
And that's where it begins to pile up >_>
The story's open ended.... But no problem about that, though. I think it made the story nicer, in a way.
But oh, the feels are strong. >___<
I sort of want to start writing again... I used to write a lot (short stories... and a lot of fanfics that I never finished)..
But then, things went downhill.
But seriously. It's a nice, sad book.
Dear Mr. Henshaw, I mean.
... I just realized I made 2 posts in a day xD Oh well. This one's just short, so.... I guess it's ok? xD
So yeah! That's about it. Have you guys read the book before? Or do you know about other good books too? Feel free to tell me in the comments ^_^

INSTA-MYTH!
Hello everyone!~ It is I. Welcome~ ( ^-^)/
It is Saturday (yay!) and I'm lazing around on the couch, looking for some cute templates for Blogger (~ 'u')~
I love those Cyworld themes in
blogskins.com... But I don't know how to properly apply them to my blog without losing the current layout of the columns and stuff... ｡･ﾟﾟ･(>д<)･ﾟﾟ･｡ Sigh
Aaanyways, today I shall talk about our homework for school.
We call it "Insta-myth". In a nutshell, what we're supposed to do is to show what Greek gods would do if they were living in our modern world, and edit Instagram posts about it. It's actually pretty fun (◕‿◕)
We don't get to pick which god/goddess we're doing though. So... I was assigned to do Terpsichore, one of the nine Muses, and the goddess of dance. It's quite difficult for me, since I have nothing I can do for it xD
Nevertheless, I scoured my closet for clothes that could pass off as "dancer clothes", even if remotely. As I type, my clothes are messily littered all over the place (@_@)
Interesting to note, Zeus had a looot of wives and kids >_> That naughty god >__<
So... that's it for now~ Are you guys studying about Greek mythology, like us? Feel free to leave a comment!~
Ciao, mia amicos~ ( ^-^)/
Care To Share?
Hello there, everyone. It is I. How're you all? (ﾉﾟ▽ﾟ)ﾉ
I'm doing well, so no need to worry about me ^_^ No one cares, Cossette //slapped
Anyways, today, I decided to post something meaningful! Yeah! *awkwardly throws confetti*
Ahem, so I guess I shall begin.
You see, a kid approached me today as I was going home. I was drinking this coke I got from Mcdonald's, and was walking along the overpass. I passed by these poor street children. No biggie, right?
Anyways, they approached me. The kid was asking for my drink. Of course, I was still kinda processing the situation, so I wasn't really thinking, and gave my soft drink to the little girl. My face had a rather baffled expression, and I looked like I was eyeing the lass suspiciously.
... Which I regret. I wish that I'd at least put on a smile to show that I gave her my drink because I care, not because I wanted her to stay away, you know? That's the only thing that keeps bothering me. I'm kinda washed over by guilt, somehow...
Now that I have the time to sort of think about it, I'm thankful that God has given me the stuff I need, and even more. Sometimes, we need an eye-opener to see that we have everything to thank the Lord for. Although it seems like we're going through some hard stuff, I believe it's His crucible, so we can be "refined" into better Christians.
But, I digress. Anyways, as I was saying, I felt a bit guilty. Maybe I should've shown a little more kindness?
Well.... I don't know how you'll interpret what I'm saying (... well... typing) here, but the message I wanna get across is that... Don't be stingy. Share your blessings with the less fortunate, and try being kind. It gives me a warm, fuzzy feeling inside when I help others.... And I want everyone to know that awesome experience. Because I think that it won't hurt to be kind every now and then~ (ノ^_^)ノ
Be the little ray of sunshine in our relatively dim society ƪ(˘⌣˘)ʃ
That's it, I guess. So, what do you think? Feel free to share your thoughts!
See you! (^o^)/

Throwback #3: ... This Thing
It is I~ Hey what's uppp, brosss?~ ( ・▽・)ノ
So, did you guys know that it is SO awkward to be around a mad friend. I have no idea how to comfort them. And telling them "cheer up" doesn't do much help, either. Like, ugh. Cheer up, man. You've no idea how awkward this makes the situation. >_<
AANYWAYS. ( ^-^)/
Since
I am quite lazy I don't feel like continuing this I'm running low on things to write throwbacks about actually, all of them I can't find the time to consistently blog about this topic, I'll make this one my last about the throwbacks. Yeah.
Today's throwback is about a game we used to play. I also have no idea how to call it, actually xD We play this whenever we had free time, or were bored, or just for no reason at all
Anyways, to play the game, we drew circles at the corners of a paper (that was our "base"), and represented ourselves as symbols. Like one is represented as a circle, a star... You get the gist of it.
Then, we flick (idk how to explain this xD) the pencil from your "base" to somewhere, and try to invade the enemy's base. Simple as that.
It was fun :3 But then, we used to play it on rough surfaces, so it was difficult xD
So... I guess that's it~ I'll make a new entry soon~ I'll make it more interesting, I promise (•̀u•́)و ̑̑
I feel a bit lazy right now, so.... I'M SORREEEHHH (✘Д✘) DON'T KILL ME PLEASE >_<
Oh, and I made a music player for my blog! Most of them are jazz and/or soothing-ish anime/game OSTs, though. I think it suits the atmosphere I'm aiming for (
˘⌣˘)/
