Everything About My Hogwarts House – Ravenclaw!

Greetings everyone. I have been wanting to do this entry for a long time, so here you go! Everything you need to know about my Hogwarts house which is Ravenclaw.

I did the test on Pottermore website to know which house I belong to. So if you haven’t take it yet, go take it first.

Ravenclaw is known for their famed intelligence. This is evidently shown by the way Ravenclaws access to their common room. Instead of password or hidden door, what you need to do is answer a riddle. Apparantly, this method have kept away everyone except Ravenclaw as they are the only one that can figure out the answers. For example, ‘Which came first, the phoenix or the flame?’ So every time a student wants a bit of kip, they have to engage in a philosophical debate first.

Other than their intelligence, Ravenclaw is also famous for welcoming eccentric people. Ravenclaw hasn’t half produced a band of fascinating minds, from Cho Chang and Moaning Myrtle, to Luna Lovegood. Ravenclaws are also unique and think outside the box.

Ravenclaws also speak their mind. For such clever person, Ravenclaw can also be a bit outspoken.

And our house emblem is awesome.

Just look at how awesome it looks

  

A triumphant eagle as the emblem and a lend of blue and bronze as house colours, come on, anyone Sorted into Ravenclaw is going to look automatically fabulous. Also, the fact that the eagle is the symbol of strength, immortality and closely linked to gods Zeus and Odin.

However Ravenclaw do have struggles that only they can understand!

1.Getting tired from climbing all those stairs up to the dormitories.
2.When you can’t figure out the door’s riddle to get into the common room.
3.When you run into the Gray Lady.
4.When you can’t take all the class you want.
5.Whenever Madame Pince has to drag you out of the library because it’s closing time.
6.Reminding people Ravenclaw emblem is an EAGLE, not a RAVEN.
7.Err, blue and bronze or blue and gold?

8.When you want to borrow a book from the library but someone else has borrowed it.
9.When your shoulders  hurt from lugging all your books around.
10.Whenever you have a brilliant idea and have to drop everything and write it down.
11.People look at you weird when you mention random bits of trivia.
12.But when you’re wrong about something, you never ever hear the end of it!
13.But you know better since haters are gonna hate and you’re gonna do you.

But despite all of that, we know that we Ravenclaws are smart enough to know we’re in the best Hogwarts House.

Virgo Stereotypes - True or False?

Hello dearies. So, I got the idea to write on Virgo stereotypes when chatting with a friend. She said that her horoscope totally describe her and I thought maybe I’ll post an entry about Virgo stereotypes and see if it’s fit me. Now, I don’t believe in horoscope. This is just for fun.

Stereotypes:

Clean-freak

Yeah, it’s true. I may not be a total clean-freak but I do like my personal space tidy. I hate it when my room or my space are dirty. Especially the bathroom! I hate dirty bathroom. For me, bathroom is supposed to be a place where you cleanse yourself, it shouldn’t be dirty.

                                                                                                              

No personality?

Now, that’s is not true. We do have personality. We are just selective with whow we show it.

Precise

This may not describe me but most other Virgos said it describes them. Maybe 50-50?

Determined

Yes, Virgos are determined and hard-workers. Once I set my mind on something, I won’t stop until I’m satisfied with the results I got.

Analytical

According to stereotype, we are said to be thinkers and considering that I try to consider all of my options before making a decision, I’d say that this is true, but only to a certain degree. I’m also very emotional and will react based on my intuition, so it’s hard to say that I’m always highly analytical in a situation.

Reliable

Yup, you can totally rely on me (unless I’m feeling lazy)! And I meet my promises! If I promises to meet you at 3.00 p.m., you better believe I’ll be there at 3.00 p.m. (unlike certain people)

Observant

This is not true for me. I tend to daydream a lot. I usually had my earphones plugged in so I’m unaware of my surroundings.

Skeptical

Given that Virgos are highly analytical, they can also be skeptical. I’d like to think that I have a healthy amount of skepticism, but who knows? Maybe the astrologists are right with this one.

Responsible

Since Virgos are known for being reliable, they’re also very responsible. I, especially, hold myself accountable for a lot of things. Perhaps even a little too much, at times.

Selective

Virgos tend to be selective with who they open up to because it can take a little while for them to feel comfortable around new people. They’re said to be friendly, but not overly friendly. I have a very select, close group of friends, so I could definitely believe this to be more than just a stereotype.

Fussy

Yes, I would say that’s true. I may not show it but those who know me knows how fussy I am.

Cold

Nah, that’s not true. The reason why we Virgos look cold that’s because we don’t speak too much and generally shy around people we are not familiar with. My friend’s first impression of me? She thought that I am a shy, innocent girl until she know me. Now she said that I am a crazy girl. She doesn’t see this coming at all.

Intelligent

Eh, I don’t know about this. But considering I got Ravenclaw for my Hogwarts house it may be true. And Harry Potter fans know that Ravenclaw members are mostly known for their intelligence.

Phew! I think that’s all. If you think I miss any stereotype do tell me. And I’ll tell you if it’s true or not. Goodbye dearies!

Naruto Fanfictions And Beta (?!)

Hello everyone. Last time I didn’t write my top Naruto fanfics because it’s too long. So here you go!

As usual, this list are not arranged in the order of which I think is the best. The order are random.

I assume that you (my dear readers) watch or at least know what is Naruto.

1. Dreaming Of Sunshine by Silver Queen

Why I Love It: First of all, this a self-insert fanfiction. Our protagonist, Nara Shikako is

born to the Nara clan as the younger twin to Shikamaru. Unlike many self-insert fanfiction,

the canon events has its own twist which I like. The events continued before the three year skip. I’m glad she doesn’t skip it! It lets us know what happened to the rest of Genin 12 after Naruto left. The chapter is long and the best part is less grammartical error! The language is suprisingly excellent!

2. Catch Your Breath by Lang Noi

Why I Love It: Like DoS, CYB is a self-insert fanfic. However, the event started a few years before Naruto started, when Kannabi Bridge event happens and Minato and Kushina are still alive. And the fact that Kakashi is not a stuck up kid like he is when in canon. I mean, he still is but a bit lesser. The OC (own character) is a totally awesome ninja fighting girl. She’s not afraid to get into action or get dirty. In short, she’s a tomboy. Yet, Kakashi has a huge crush on her which she doesn’t notice at all but the others definitely noticed.

3. Deja Vu No Jutsu by Vixen Tail

Why I Love It: First, the pairing is Shikaku and OC. Second, there’s something about the Nara men that makes me attracted to them. Third, this story use the butterfly effect to the fullest. Fourth, the OC which is Natsumi is definitely someone that I admired – she’s strong, beautiful, intelligent and have a witty sense of humor. The event on this fanfiction is way before the event from Naruto started. The plot flows smoothly and interestingly.

Honorable Mentions:

Stamping On Butterflies by kjate95

Clearing Mist by shadownumera

Captive by DragonofFernweh

Decaying Bluebells by Darkpetal16

Broken Dolls by Guilty.Ink

For My Clan, For You by Libbeth

Golden Eyes by Jaguarlioness

That’s all from me because it’s getting too long. There’s too many fanfictions that I’ve read and it’s still not enough.

Announcement : My friend, wrote a fanfiction at asianfanfics. She wrote this fanfic – Butterfly & Diamond life dot com. I would really appreciate it if those who’s fan of Kpop will read it. And... I also Beta’d for her. That’s all for this entry, goodbye!

Reasons Why I Hate This Crawlies

Greetings! Today, I decided to write on entry why I hate spiders (and scared of). So without further ado, here’s my reasons!

Some spiders bite

I know not all spiders bite, but when it does, it hurts. Some can even kill you in few hours. Better to be safe than sorry right?

They can hide everywhere

They can hide in your shoes, inside your drawer, at the basement and be making webs there. And there a particular species that hide in bananas. Don’t believe it? This spider is called the Brazilian Wandering Spider.

Quick fact:

1. The Brazilian Wandering spider is the most deadliest spider in the world. 
2. Their Greek name Phoneutria means “murderess".
3. They are known as wandering spider because they don’t build web instead they walk around the jungle floor during night. But in day light, they find place to hide.
4. When defending itself, they lift their body up on their hind legs in a defensive display. 
   
   

   

   Ughh. Look at it, ready to attack.

    
   
5. Even though its venom is the most deadliest, an effective antivenom is available.
6. If you are bitten, chance are nothing bad will happen.
7. The venom only causes extreme pain and inflammation, loss of muscle control and breathing problems, resulting in paralysis and eventual asphyxiation.
8. The spider’s bite can cause an unwanted erection in men which can last sometimes to four hours.

Their eyes

Don’t even get me started with this. Did you see it’s eyes? How can it have so many eyes? Knowing that it can watch every corners with those eyes... (shudders) And... where are they looking at?

Spider webs

Okay, I know it is for them to catch their food but once you touch it, do you know how difficult to take it off? It’s so sticky. And what about the scenes from LOTR: Return of The King where Frodo gets stuck in the spider web? Nope, don’t like those webs.

Interesting fact: do you know that before plaster was invented, people use spider webs to stop cut from bleeding? Yeah, probably not a good idea because of those germs on the web...

Guess which species makes its nest on a banana?

Furry

Well, not all of them have hairs but when some of them have and it’s really creepy. Especially those on the big ones!

Those many legs

Why do they have so many legs? And you know what’s worse? They can jump on you. Imagine you are dusting the shelves and suddenly something jump and crawling all over you. Not a nice feeling right?

Oh sure, some of you might say, spiders are small, they can’t kill you (yeah, so does grenade but look at the damage it can do). Well, some spiders can kill you. And they might be small, but have you take a look at what they can do to prey and predator bigger than them?

Okay, that's all. I'm getting spooked seeing those spiders. Until then, see you all later!

My Favourite Fanfictions

Hey guys, it’s me, Lynn. If you read my entry “Getting To Know Me”, you will know I love reading fanfiction. I’m obssesed with it. So, I thought I will list down my top favourites fanfictions! Ranging from Attack On Titan, Bleach, Harry Potter, and more, this my top favourites!

This list are listed randomly. In my opinion, all of it them are amazing and the winner.

1.  Upon A Shooting Star by SilverSerpentDragon (Fairy Tail)

Why I Love It: This story is a time travelling story. In a cliche time travelling story, the main character usually will try to fix the mistakes that had already happened. He/she will use their knowledge of the future to prevent some events from happening. That usually results with the same outcomes as the original story, like nothing has changed, except some death may be

avoided. This author however, realises that when you changed something on the past, it will result in a different outcome. That’s the main purposes of time travelling story. You can’t control the future. You can create your own path but you can’t expect the outcome to be as you expected. Our protagonist, Lucy knows that. In time, she overcome her weakness to protect her friends and their future. All of them grow strong together.

The pairing is Lucy and Laxus (they are so cute together). They are my favourite fandom couples! Laxus is still the Mr-Arrogant-and-I’m-Better-Than-You, but when our brave Lucy take him down, he is captivated by her. And Lucy is so cute and adorable! It’s no wonder our dear Dragon fell for her!

2. Gaijin by Tsuki Kitsune Moon Fox (Yu Yu Hakusho)

Why I Love It: A self-insert story with a little twist in the plot and new characters. This story deals with the main character who is a foreigner being transfered to Japan to teach and meeting the YYH gang. The research that the author done for this story is amazing. He/she doesn’t blindly put things without veryfying it. Though a bit warning, there are some gore in this story, so if you don’t like or afraid of gore, I recommend you don’t read it or just skip the gore part. This story is already completed.

3. Swirls of Black and Blue by Azyth (Shingeki no Kyojin)

Why I Love It : First of all, I would like to say this fanfiction is different from many of AoT fanfiction that I’ve read (trust me, I’ve read many) and not many of them can come close in beating this fanfiction in terms of characters developmet, ideas, and plot line. Levi is behaving like... Levi. In short, he is not too OCC.

4. Sound Pod On Shuffle by LittlePrincessNana (Fairy Tail)

Why I Love It: I think what makes me read this story at first are the pairing which is LaLu (Laxus & Lucy) and it has many reviews. You know that story is good when it has many reviews. So upon reading it, I was amazed. The storyline flows well, and new interesting characters being thrown, and almost no grammartical error too. (I hate reading fanfiction with many grammar errors). I think the author managed to capture the characteristics of our dear Fairy Tail mages well. What I like the most is that this story is not rushed.

Honorable Mentions :

Going To The Place Where I Belong by Foxxy (Yu Yu Hakusho)

Rebirth by E.S.mangalover (Naruto & Bleach Crossover)

Savage Heart by Otrinity (Darkest Power Trilogy)

Started In The Bath (Seriously?) by xlunari (Fairy Tail)

The Wooing Of Lucy Heartfilia by papalogia (Fairy Tail)

Puff Pastry Panic! by Cakedecorator (Be My Princess 2)

The Pastry Chef And The Vermin by Cakedecorator (Be My Princess 2)

The Queen Of Hearts by frickbl1 (Brothers Conflict)

All the fanfictions above is updated regularly or completed already. I did not include fanfiction that is on hiatus.

I think that’s all from me. I think I wrote too long. Be sure to check all those fanfictions. They are really good. Until then, bye!

What I Love To Google

Hello everyone! It is me, Fadhlin.

We all love to use google to search things and stuff. As for me, I use google to search for things I like which include fun stuff, weird things and facts. So, here’s my list on what I love to Google.

1. Weird and Cute Creatures

Yeah, I like to Google weird creatures and that always freak out my friends and my mother. Because I will then show it to them. For example? This cute creature named Axolotl.

To be truth, it looks more like a pokemon

And this adorable creature too.

Look at how innocent it looks!

2.  Facts

When it comes to fact I usually Google scary facts, psychological related facts, or anime facts. Recently, I Google facts about deep sea and its creatures.

Oh, by the way, did you know there is a river inside a river? Amazing right? This particular river is called Cenote Angelita in Mexico. From outside it looks like an normal river until you dive inside. Here, I let you read about it.

3. Levi Ackerman

Those who watch Attack On Titan will know who is he. He is one of my favourite characters in anime history. Who wouldn’t? I’m 100% sure that those who watch Attack On Titan loves him. One of my friends said that his voice in english dub is better than the japanese version. She said it’s more sexier. Her words, not mine.

4. Manga and otome

Because I love reading manga, I usually Google to check if there is any new manga released. As for otome, I love games that are interactive novel. Because I don’t like going around running to kill zombies. I rather just sit and click. Which is why I love playing point and click and interactive novels games.

5. Ghost and creepy stuffs

I love horror stories so Creepypasta and Scary For Kids is probably one of the most frequent website I visited.

6. River Monster

I love watching River Monster. I guess I’m curious to know danger lives in the river and be amazed by them. Let’s be honest. Most of them are downright terrifying. Don’t believe? Just look at this:

Just look at the razor sharp teeth

And don't forget this gut sucking devil

   

Okay, I hope you are not creeped out reading what I like to Google. That’s just what I like. Some girls like to Google on way to do their hair, make up, and how to match their clothes but that’s not me. I’m not going to be someone that I’m not. I’m done pretending. I do search on girly things sometimes but at the same time I like creepy and scary stuff as well.

I think that’s all from me for this entry, hope to see you guys later. Bye!

Why Being Short Isn’t As Bad As You Think

Hello everyone. As you can see from the title above, I think it’s easy to figured out why I’m doing this entry.

I’m short. I’m only 4’11. I don’t even reach 5’0! I feel like a dwarf when I’m with my friends. Most of them are 5’5, and 5’6 while here I am, a dwarf compared to them. So, I’m writing this entry to remind myself and those who are minion that being short isn’t as bad as you think.

1. You don’t have to worry about being taller than your crush. Even though they are not so tall themselves. If you’re taking picture together, you are going to look as cute as a munchkin.
2. You can save money when buying clothes or shoes by buying in kids section. I did that when buying my sport shoes because my feet is like Cinderella’s feet. And.... my blouse from when I was in Form 3 still fits.
3. You never have to worry about bumping your head or ducking to get under things. Because of this reason, I’m good at games like Limbo and Hide and Seek too because I fit... everywhere.
4. Heels were basically made for you. You don’t have to worry about them making you too tall like the tall girls. I can wear them whenever I want.
5. You’re small enough for people to piggy back, which is awesome since people only do that if you are a kid... or small.
6. You also don’t need to worry about being the person who always block someone’s view at the cinema. Even though it’s your view that always get blocked!
7. People instinctively want to protect you, which makes asking for help with any physical task infinitely easier. I have you know this statement is true.
8. You can pretty much sleep in any bed comfortably. I have you know that sometimes I sleep at the back of the car comfortably while my dad or friend is driving in front.
9. You’ll always be able to fit your entire body underneath tiny throw blankets instead of having to cast out your feet to freeze in the open air.
10. You have more leg room when travelling in a bus, train, or plane compared to the others.
11. I don’t know why, but people seems to think that you are a lot younger, which is great. You don’t have to worry that you look old after you reach 20!
12. You’ll always be cute. It can suck to be called adorable instead of sexy, but while sexy can come and go, the flattery of “adorable” will stick to you for life.
13. You’re an expert crowd weaver. It’s because people don’t usually see you until you’re already past them which always suprised my friend because suddenly I’m walking next to them. And I reach my destination quicker.
14. And you’re also a skilled climber. It comes from all that practicing at home and supermarkets when you’re trying to reach things on the top shelf.
15. Being short means people might massively underestimate you. You look unassuming and un-intimidating, and people may take that to mean that you’re not very capable. You can get past the radars of combative types who attempt to undermine competition, and quietly do amazing things that nobody ever saw coming.

So, there you go! The reasons why being short isn’t bad at all. So don’t feel bad or wish that you can grow taller because you are perfect just the way you are. Until then, goodbye!

Last note: you can renact the scene from the Notebook.
