<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've replaced my <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IsAcvfCaxfo" target="_blank">previous pencil case</a> (which was really old and dirty and broken) with THIS BEAUTIFUL ONE!!! It's super roomy and bright and argh love it a lot ^_^</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<b><a href="http://www.kikki-k.com/2016-time-planner-medium-cute" target="_blank">Medium Watermelon Planner</a></b><br />
Also been obsessed with this planner from Kikki K again and it matches the pencil case which is really cool :P Planners and diaries have been a huge essential in my life ever since a couple of years ago, and I find myself being incredibly unproductive without one as I have no idea what or when things are due... so I never do them xD I've never used one of these planners before though, with the rings in the middle and inserts, so it's been fun using all the tabs and sections. I really love the pen holder and the places in the cover where you can slide things like stickers in! Very handy ^_^ The sticky note tabs on the front are from Daiso, if you're wondering :)<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;">Shoutout to Judy, A, S, other J and H for this ^_^ <3</span><br />

<b><u>Sharpies</u></b><br />
In the holidays my mum randomly bought me a 30 set of Sharpies... Not entirely sure what they could be used for, but they're really fun to use :D Here are some fineliners inside the set that are in these super bright and pretty colours <3<br />

<b><u>Sports Camera</u></b><br />
Recently I embarked on a road trip up to Queensland, and this little sports camera has been so fun to play with along the way! It came with a gazillion accessories, one of which lets you attach it to a car window. I have some footage <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eNNBGhoG46s" target="_blank">in this video here</a> for an example.<br />
<br />
I'm not sure if I would recommend this specific model- it's easy enough to use, but do all sports cameras have shockingly awful audio quality? o.O I guess they don't really need much sound... but still ._.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhP6B0NwJqhip893cLec5YdPqCfqIOj61cYCXwPishtUocOPGqeUxsZiAVP_dSKetj4Ey19ApDay9c6xYu9k4nCGKVqEmwWoIABcQObQif3WfYYvmFMaiA05VvGvYkcrIvcUCMfAb6At5c/s1600/IMG_2614.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="436" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhP6B0NwJqhip893cLec5YdPqCfqIOj61cYCXwPishtUocOPGqeUxsZiAVP_dSKetj4Ey19ApDay9c6xYu9k4nCGKVqEmwWoIABcQObQif3WfYYvmFMaiA05VvGvYkcrIvcUCMfAb6At5c/s640/IMG_2614.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The lens of it, like any other sports camera, is fisheye, meaning it has a bulging effect as if you're in a dome or something. Back in the day I used to HATE fisheye as it made me rather dizzy... but then after watching a million of a YouTuber's vlogs using a fisheye camera, I grew to really like it xD</div>

<b><u>Learning German</u></b><br />
Admittedly, some of this post was written a while ago. I spent a bit of my holidays studying German, through translating random magazines into English, watching short videos designed for beginners and using Duolingo, a site I would whole heartedly recommend for anyone wanting to learn a bit of a new language!<br />
<br />
However, while this was fun and all, I've actually dropped German as a subject at school, mainly due to lack of motivation to continue, and I simply did not study hard enough for a subject that requires a LOT of studying, memorisation and practice. Oh well, hopefully will continue learning Deutsch one day in the future, after the whole mess of the HSC (end of high school exams) are over :/<br />
<br />

<b><a href="http://au.matildathemusical.com/" target="_blank">Matilda the Musical</a></b><br />
I love musicals a lot, and a few friends and I went to see this one, based off the much loved novel by Roald Dahl. The music and songs in this musical are amazing and unique, fitting in with the story really well! I'll probably write more on this one day, so will cut this ramble short for now :)<br />
<br />
<b><u>January Journies</u></b><br />
<u><i>Most Exciting Thing I've Done</i></u><br />
Helped build a life sized cardboard city... hella cool ^_^ Will explain more in another post probably :P<br />
<br />
<u><i>Hardest Thing I've Done</i></u><br />
Trekking around the bush in flip flops. Felt like I could conquer the world afterwards (of course, that's only wishful thinking... let's be real here, I can barely walk properly without tripping over haha :'D )<br />
<br />
<u><i>Saddest Thing That Happened</i></u><br />
So I lost my phone (still have a slight suspicion it was stolen but no idea) somewhere in December last year. Then I got my mum's old one which was a downgrade from the first phone... and I dropped it this month T_T So Now I have a slidey old phone with a TERRIBLE speaker (and no earphone jack!!!) :/ #firstworldproblems<br />
<br />
<u><i>What I've Been Watching</i></u><br />
JANE THE VIRGIN OMG IT'S HILARIOUS!!! Currently almost up-to-date within the second season and als;dfja;sldfkj it's funny :P You can probably guess from the name that it's not exactly appropriate for kiddies (or immature weirdos like myself) xD<br />
<u><i><br /></i></u>
<u><i>What I've Been Listening to</i></u><br />
Sorry, mostly musical stuff .-.<br />

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQ-f6C3sCf0" target="_blank">I Know Things Now</a> - Into the Woods Cast (Might be a little obsessed with this song ._.)<br />
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H5Xqv9h_pm8" target="_blank">Giants in the Sky</a> - Into the Woods Cast (Can't stop humming this)<br />

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZqOrNdrwppA" target="_blank">Carrying the Banner</a> - Newsies Cast (It's kind of weird that I'm featuring these songs here without having actually seen the real musical or even movie... In my defence, I've<i> tried</i> to watch the movie, but I can't understand the accents for the life of me T_T)<br />
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HcVv9R1ZR84" target="_blank">Dollhouse</a> - Melanie Martinez (Shoutout to Coral for introducing this to me and I REALLY LIKE IT)<br />

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mbJ3vacGOhw" target="_blank">Lanterns</a> - Birds of Tokyo<br />
<br />
<u><i>What I've Been Working On</i></u><br />
NOT SCHOOL WORK, THAT'S FOR SURE T____T<br />
<br />
<u><i>Something I've Let Go...</i></u><br />
I've kind of decided to let go of my commitments to my YouTube channel and videos... for many reasons for it including:<br />
a) My laptop, in it's 5th-6th year of surviving, is not up for video editing any more :|<br />
b) Time restraints that the new school year will bring :(<br />
<br />
I have to say though, pretty proud of myself as I used to spend a few hours a day just of solid YouTube video watching. Now I don't even bother checking it any more, which leaves a lot more time for other things (that are equally as unproductive, but HEY I'M TRYING :P )<br />
<br />
<u><i>Anything worth celebrating?</i></u><br />
Thought I'd also take the opportunity to celebrate A FULL YEAR OF FAVOURITE POSTS!!!! YESSSSSS :D :D :D<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
So I received these as part of a late birthday present and I just love stuff from Happy Lab as they come in cute test tubes and are just the most adorable things ever ^_^ They stay pretty true to their flavour and taste amazing (as you can probably tell from the half empty containers.)<br />

I remember having a wall calendar two years ago from Typo and I loved it so much that I tried to get it again last year but alas, they did not make it that year. But luckily, it was in stock again this year! Hooray! Wall calendars are great for organisation and this ones pretty aesthetic too so it doubles up as a wall decoration as well! ^_^ This particular one is quite minimalistic and provides a lot of space for notes and important dates so it proves to be very useful!</div>

So I have been volunteering in January (which doesn't really make it a December favourite but) it's truly been an amazing experience! I've been helping out with Yelena (the co-writer of this blog) at the <a href="http://www.sydneyfestival.org.au/2016/" target="_blank">Sydney Festival</a> and I've met some of the nicest people and had great fun through helping out at the events. Volunteering is an awesome way to give back to the community and I hope you all find the chance to volunteer if you can! ^_^</div>

Marvel shows are just the best - I absolutely love this show ^_^ It follows the adventures of Peggy Carter, you may know her from Captain America: The First Avenger, and how she kicks ass with style. I recommend this and I can't stress enough how good it is.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's the little description provided by Marvel:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>"Years before Agent Coulson and his S.H.I.E.L.D. team swore to protect those who cannot protect themselves from threats they cannot conceive, there was Agent Peggy Carter (Hayley Atwell, Marvel's "Captain America: The First Avenger," Marvel's "Captain America: The Winter Soldier"), who pledged the same oath but lived in a different time when women weren't recognized as being as smart or as tough as their male counterparts. But no one should ever underestimate Peggy."</i></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Somewhere towards the end of last year we were given about 15 weeks or so of working on a major project of our choosing for a computing/techy kinda subject. I chose to make a film because</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
a) I can't code for my life.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
b) I like making them!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Admittedly, it was only my second time making one. But the first time was a lot of fun so why not try again? :D</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/zGlMfJ8R9N4/0.jpg" frameborder="0" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/zGlMfJ8R9N4?feature=player_embedded" width="320"></iframe></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So here's the result of those weeks, including:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1. FOREVER mindlessly brainstorming ideas. (including ranting to friends for advice)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlFX-xQTQ7rylGY0Yz5zehfT6tbTkh0xG2jHTW5aOVC6vm1PdGmxJVibAa2Ju51oZSYsPhCoZJzGZYW0jZtQJz2YXXU7tSkRCZjDKyDLCyuBFZ2Mam76Zjpo2O77Yssfg2mTFlude31FU/s1600/IMG_2034.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlFX-xQTQ7rylGY0Yz5zehfT6tbTkh0xG2jHTW5aOVC6vm1PdGmxJVibAa2Ju51oZSYsPhCoZJzGZYW0jZtQJz2YXXU7tSkRCZjDKyDLCyuBFZ2Mam76Zjpo2O77Yssfg2mTFlude31FU/s640/IMG_2034.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2. Writing a script. Surprisingly, I did this rather quickly as once I had settled on an idea, I was super ready to start actually creating. This script above isn't the actual one for this one (I can't find that one D:)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3. Writing a second, much more simplified 'script' to give to people to read in order to get opinions. This was more like writing the outline of the stories.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

9. Skipping out on classes for a whole school day just to sit in the computer room by myself (although one period I had to endure a bunch of Year 7s [basically the freshmen, for all you Americans :D Wait, a year below freshman.] which involved dodgily closing the window of the editing program every once in a while to avoid getting judged xD Spent this time editing like crazy and it was pretty fun... UP UNTIL THE POINT WHEN THE PROGRAM WOULD NOT LET ME SAVE WITHOUT MAKING AN UGLY BLACK BORDER AROUND THE VIDEO GAAAH T____T</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And a quick word of thank you to everyone that helped, from listening to me ramble on about it, to listening to me boss them around, to just being supportive on the ideas and for simply being great humans... THANKS! :D</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

So that was the marathon that was the process of making this silly little thing. Hope you enjoy it :) I'd like to talk about meanings behind the film, but don't want to spoil anything... ^_^</div>

After the great positive response I received from my new year post one year ago, I've decided to write up another new years resolution list! So, after looking back on my <a href="http://bubble-pandas.blogspot.com.au/2015/01/welcoming-new-year.html" target="_blank">2015 new years resolutions,</a> I would say that I didn't achieve as much as I would have liked too.. T_T But hey! I did get to complete some like...<br />

Passed that piano exam! Wow, that seemed like ages ago... and I've posted consistently on this blog! Woohoo! *celebrates*<br />
<br />
But all in all, I could have completed every single one of them if I wasn't super lazy so... urgh why?<br />
<br />
<b>Here's a list of 16 resolutions I would like to achieve in 2016 in no particular order:</b><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul>
<li>Keep my succulent alive </li>
<li>Stop leaving everything until the last minute</li>
<li>Stop being indecisive with everything</li>
<li>Put on sunscreen (urgh the aussie sun)</li>
<li>Read more books and complete my new goal on Goodreads!</li>
<li>Even more art ^_^</li>
<li>Put studies first!</li>
<li>Stop procrastinating (which is the hardest thing to do T_T)</li>
<li>Don't over think too much (I tend to do that way too much and that results in nothing making sense)</li>
<li>Continue volunteering ^_^</li>
<li>Grow taller (ha, I wish.) </li>
<li>Revise, revise, revise.</li>
<li>Put up with my current laptop that's starting to deteriorate </li>
<li>Exercise regularly (which still probably will not happen...)</li>
<li>Cut down on YouTube and tv shows and use that time more usefully</li>
<li>Be organised!</li>
</ul>

I was looking forward to 2015...<br />
<br />
Why? Well</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>a) Fifteen is my lucky number (because)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>b) I was born on the 15th (January)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>c) I turned 15 on the 15th of 2015</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>d) All the factors of 15 are odd, and I love odd numbers (okay I'm a weird nerd, don't judge me! xD)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>And I have to say, the year turned out marvellously (loads better than my terrible last year) :D</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Now I'll share with you some moments from this year :)<br />
<br />
1. I received a ukulele from my friend's for my birthday!!! Still love it as much as I did when I first got it :D</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span><br />

2. Getting my kitten. It's inexplicable, the feeling I had in the car ride home, holding onto a box containing that tiny little ball of fur.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>3. Watching the musical Les Misérables, and sitting in that dark theatre, tears in eyes, squeezing the life out of my friend's arm next to me and letting the music and story wash over me.<br />
<br />
(I had a photo to put here from after the musical, where the theatre was dark yet relatively empty and the stage showed 'Les Misérables' in an eerie green blue... but it was on my phone which I lost *cries*)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> 4</span>. Visiting Canberra (Twice! Once with my school :D) and driving through my old town, and seeing all the places I had spent years expanding in my memory with imagination.<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> 5.</span> There wasn't exactly a defining moment for this, but realising that I'm very comfortable with using my camera and can fiddle with settings and know what is happening everywhere without really thinking about it.<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="white-space: pre;">6</span>. Going overseas to China and realising the sheer enormity of the world and what it has to offer, and how incredible it is that there can be so many people, each with their own unique story.<br />
<br />

PS. Second post in two days!!! AMAZING :O New record! I wanted to get this up before the new year, and I posted this 4 minutes shy of New Year's Eve... excellent timing I must say *pats self on the back* I think Judy is doing her own little recap tomorrow (which is now in 2 minutes :O) so look forward to that :)<br />
PPS. Sorry about that, my body is always exhausted by midnight (including my eyes which feel like they're swelling shut) but my mind is more alert, awake and talkative! Oh look, one minute left til New Year's Eve!<br />
PPPS. IT'S NEW YEARS EVE!!! FAREWELL 2K15 :D</div>

First up we have a... toilet?! xD</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's a DIY candy toilet kit (which I didn't open because<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Pe96GAc-HU" target="_blank"> I've already done one of these before</a>, so I'll just give this one to Judy to do heh :P Maybe she'll make a blog post on it?)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Basically, you pour a powder and water into the toilet, and foamy liquidy stuff comes out of the bowl, which you drink with a straw... sounds a little dodgy, but it's somewhat cute xD Personally, I didn't enjoy it a lot when I did it, but maybe Judy will like it better :O</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
However, must say, very impressed that this subscription box includes DIY kits. They're pretty hard to find in Australia, and if you do find them, they're not the cheapest/most worth it things ever... D:</div>

Hello!</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It seems that my crochet post from not that long ago was received with quite positive attention, so I decided to continue with this series and make a handy tutorial for you all! To begin your crochet journey, you'll need to know a few simple knots - the most basic which is of course, the slip knot. So follow this handy pictorial and enjoy crafting!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1) Take the loose end of the yarn and wrap it around two fingers on your non-dominant hand. Make sure the string is crossed over.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZE5xmgrvTKaqluZLz3VjZLlm_N2erSIRvFJJqE9WTH0jEeJIeb9Uv7BuS4Tb0ycwp-I0mmeueHu19FqaIH_hSOGO1T2DZCnAu8Hisp48xjtEOeCMtxUOAFwjhISsC3Xwa1GiWRzwmIB8/s1600/instruction+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZE5xmgrvTKaqluZLz3VjZLlm_N2erSIRvFJJqE9WTH0jEeJIeb9Uv7BuS4Tb0ycwp-I0mmeueHu19FqaIH_hSOGO1T2DZCnAu8Hisp48xjtEOeCMtxUOAFwjhISsC3Xwa1GiWRzwmIB8/s640/instruction+2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2) Slip your crochet hook under the string, as shown in the picture. <i>This can be explained through referring to the triangles that appear when you cross the strings over. Slip the hook under the right side of the top triangle.</i></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3) Hook and bring up the string suing your crochet hook.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvsq7grQVsi0wleTWpGkAh8xsUex392sA1siIJtZnXqBqs5pCGc5J7RjC0GBmZaZGiGUylg-nrPFH-4GYCIQ16aTx03rHOoRpMRX2dHIe7YoqZ70bJ_u1k6XjBSpdSNr2yYPnb_JGOzXU/s1600/instruction+4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvsq7grQVsi0wleTWpGkAh8xsUex392sA1siIJtZnXqBqs5pCGc5J7RjC0GBmZaZGiGUylg-nrPFH-4GYCIQ16aTx03rHOoRpMRX2dHIe7YoqZ70bJ_u1k6XjBSpdSNr2yYPnb_JGOzXU/s640/instruction+4.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
4) Slowly let go of the circle and pull the two strings on each side down, tightening the slip knot.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9HfASoQyY1kevu-GApnx-ns3hNbcAX_0F3FT7-scVbjHzsSmwt7ha4l-UmthAxcvg0ZCbKvXfhszzsYppY0fm2OwYq1LelwTwqdOZebS0W7uxCVwqPccy84vOjWC4M5_vvDHMa1TuHwg/s1600/instruction+5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9HfASoQyY1kevu-GApnx-ns3hNbcAX_0F3FT7-scVbjHzsSmwt7ha4l-UmthAxcvg0ZCbKvXfhszzsYppY0fm2OwYq1LelwTwqdOZebS0W7uxCVwqPccy84vOjWC4M5_vvDHMa1TuHwg/s640/instruction+5.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
5) Ta-dah! You have completed your slip-knot! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Even though this brand is super inexpensive, I LOVE their nail polishes- the brush for them is so nicely shaped and the formula is smooth and easy to apply with :D I wore this particular red one for my school formal this year and it stayed on for more than a week which is always great! :)<br />
<br />
<b><i>Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Face Sunscreen</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've been wearing sunscreen basically every single day starting from the first day of kindergarten, and I think I've always been that kid in the class that's super shiny and smells of it from a mile away... This sunscreen in particular is rather light, but it has SPF 50+ so it's amazing! It's even matte, so I can say goodbye to the super shiny forehead for now xD</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i>Oral-B Superfloss</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I know, I'm really weird... Recently was my first time using floss ever, and because I have braces, I have to use this special type which is precut and has a thin, stiffened end to act as a needle, to thread under wires and all that. I think my gums have actually become a lot healthier since I've started using this (I use it while watching YouTube right before I brush my teeth haha) because a sign of gums being unhealthy is if they bleed easily after being poked, which used to happen to me but not anymore! :D Was that a bit TMI? Oops... ^^;</div>

<b><i>Headphones</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lately I've been replacing earphones with headphones when I'm listening to music or watching videos at home. These ones are super comfy, as they're not an awkward size where they jam and press your ears. Although admittedly I think these are a bit bigger than normal xD These ones are by the brand Moshi I think, which reminds me a little too much of the game Moshi Monsters (which I used to despise- the characters moved SO INCREDIBLY SLOWLY IT WAS SO FRUSTRATING)<br />

<b><i>DIY Clear Umbrella</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've talked about this here in one of my recent posts, which you can also see for more photos of it. The DIY technique of using chalk markers to doodle your own design on the inside of the umbrella is really fun and personalises your umbrella- you'll probably never mix yours up with someone else's ever again! :D</div>

Enjoying nature and life's little moments. Some days when I look out the window at around 6 PM I see a purple tinged sky, and I grab my camera and bolt to the street to take photos of the sunsets. Probably my favourite moment of the day to be honest.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 13.2px; line-height: 18.48px;">At school we spent an entire three weeks working on projects in random groups, and Judy and I learnt about tiny housing. At the end of the whole thing, a lovely couple actually came to our school and BROUGHT their tiny house, and it was so inspiring! I've learnt not to be too influenced by the materialistic societies we call first world countries, and to be more aware of what I actually need and don't need.</span></div>

I need some serious control over these because I consume way too many at a time. These lollies taste like Werther's Original (yummy) but are just that tad bit cheaper. If you've never these caramel/toffee lollies before, you're missing out. Sorry about the sad photo... I ate all of these except two T_T</div>

I have been obsessed with this show for the past week. IT'S JUST SO GOOD. If you don't know already, it's a TV show by Marvel that continues after the events of The Avengers (2012) and follows Phil Coulson and his team basically kicking ass as S.H.I.E.L.D. agents. It shares continuity with other films and shows from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The show starts off a little shakily but immediately picks up its game during the second half of season 1. Oh yeah. Spoiler alert. Coulson lives.<br />

As spring transitions into summer (it was flipping 40 degrees Celcius the other day o.o), there have still been a few overcast days of grey and rain.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The other day a friend, Aolei, and I went exploring around the city, and had an impromptu photoshoot in the on and off rain... we only had one umbrella between us, so one person kept getting drenched ._.</div>

I tried a new kind of editing for these photos. Normally I go for a super bright, in your face, high contrasty kinda effect, but these have a much more muted, washed out, film look I think/hope.</div>

I simply doodle some weird looking flowers and leaves on the inside, attempting to cluster them towards the edges, and bam! Cute umbrella complete :)</div>

So I've heard a lot about this mysterious café in the midsts of Sydney's CBD and feasted my eyes upon endless pictures of glorious matcha fondants and tea and finally decided that I was going to have to visit this place to see the magic myself. So I set out with Lena on a journey to discover what all the fuss was about and why Cafe Cre Asion is rising to become one of Sydney's best matcha cafés.</div>

First impressions of the place can be mixed - it’s a small cafe which strangely lacks seating and can only comfortably seat around 10 or so people. The seats and tables are very low as well, which may cause a little bit of trouble to eat on. However, it brings a more relaxed vibe to the place, and makes it easier to take photos of the food you’re enjoying!</div>

The matcha fondant is served with a small pile of berries and a cute cup of delectable matcha sauce that you drizzle over the cake. By the way, the chocolate cake is filled with rich, matcha sauce and sprinkled with more matcha powder. Yes, it's matcha heaven on a plate. </div>

HELLO HELLO HELLO ^_____^<br />
<br />
Let's just ignore the fact that September was the only time this year we missed both a favourites and recent reads post *cries*<br />
<br />
In our defence, most (if not all) of our last exams for the year were during that month... YAAAAY WE'RE FREEEEEE :D<br />
<br />
Which means more time to read! ^_^<br />
<br />
You know the drill:<br />
I read some books and ramble<br />
You scroll past the rambly bits and comment something nice anyway :3 <3<br />
<br />
I've also realised lately that I don't really talk about the synopsis of books, instead just how I feel about everything and all the characters (which isn't exactly helpful considering you probably don't know the characters at all) so I'll try my best to actually talk about what goes on and what not :D<br />

Jenny Han is such a loved author and to be completely honest I'm not the biggest fan of her books... I find them a little weird. I don't know. Unfortunately, I wasn't that thrilled over the first book of this series- even though the characters were adorable, it didn't seem that believable. However if I start a series most of the time I'm too stubborn to stop, so that's that. Overall feeling: it was okay. It's about a girl's family and another family being best buddies, and of course that other family has two super hot and celebrity looking sons who the girl is in love with. xD<br />

I read the first book of this series all the way back in <a href="http://www.bubble-pandas.blogspot.com.au/2015/07/recent-reads-june.html" target="_blank">June</a> and couldn't find the rest of the books in my library, so I forgot about it. But then I started again and got addicted, and OH MAN I LOVE THE CHARACTERS SO MUCH! Although I have to admit, I forgot everything that happened in the first book, and by the third book I had absolutely no idea who Piper was. So now I'm constantly getting confused between Piper and Hazel (if you've read this series) so I'M SORRY </3 Lesson learnt- don't wait too long between parts of a series!</div>

There's something about dance related things that intrigue me even though I. Cannot. Dance. For. My. Life. Urgh. This book reminded me of an Aussie TV show Dance Academy (which I have to admit, was a tad bit obsessed with that show to the point where I even had dreams about one of the characters who died coming back alive shhhh). This book revolves around three girls, all super competitive and are in an elite ballet school. One word to describe the plot: backstabbing. One quality of this book which I really loved were the diversity of races amongst the main characters, which was something unique (it's pretty sad that I even have to say it, but I reckon it's true...). Be warned though, it ends on a big cliffhanger! On a serious note though, it might need a trigger warning in regards to eating disorders.</div>

I accidentally read the 2nd (or 3rd, if you count the middle one which is a novella) book first which was pretty stupid of me, but it worked really well as a stand alone actually! Connected well with the main characters in the first and second/third books because one loves art (she makes sculptures of hearts out of broken glass- how stunning would that look in real life! And all the meaning that could be behind it <3) and the second loves PHOTOGRAPHY <3 okay someone really needs to stop me. This post is getting frustratingly long.</div>

This book was pretty cute (unrealistic in my point of view but still). I've been avoiding reading the original Pride and Prejudice (so I should do that sometime) hence why I'm stupid and didn't realise all the characters in this American teenagerised (yay for made up words) version were all based on the original book.<br />

That one patch of blue bokeh on the right xD <3 I LOVE BOKEH! If you don't know what it is, it's a really cool photography effect (you would have definitely seen it before, just maybe not known the name) where there's a deep depth of field and the background is very blurry compared to the subject and lights in the background appear as little circles of colour (or even as hearts, hexagons and other shapes!) and I love it so much and this sentence is awfully long and I'll shut up now.</div>

Spring has come in the Southern Hemisphere and so has the bipolar weather of Australia. Please stop making us suffer under the scorching sun and then freeze from wind and rain the next day. Luckily, the weather seems to have made its mind recently, hooray!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

So this isn't really my type of thing but recently, me and a few friends went to a park and had a picnic! Picnics are a great way to enjoy the outdoors without the hard exercise you get with hiking an jogging. It's also a great excuse for baking cupcakes and enjoying biscuits along with sugary drinks in pretty cups. Have it with your friends or by yourself, it’s a great way to relax.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And finally, enjoy the photos I took of the spectacular event! (Warning: they might make you hungry...)</div>

So if you are planning on having a picnic in the future, just remember this:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>pretty food + yummy drinks + great friends + lovely weather </i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>= a fabulous picnic!</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Also remember to bring a camera to capture the joyful moments with your friends and of course, all of the food and drink. Get them angles.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This month I tried something new and joined in on the <a href="http://mrjakeparker.com/inktober" target="_blank">Inktober</a> trend!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Basically you have to try do as many drawings as you can in October, using ink.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I always seem to fail pretty miserably at these kind of challenges, but hey, I had fun doing what I ended up doing (i.e. not much) :D</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are the drawings I did. I know they're pretty awful, but it's always my goal to improve so hopefully I'll get better with practice ^_^<br />

Not the best of photos, but here's another photo from Canberra. While my parents went to explore the park and my brother slept in the car, I plonked myself on some grass (near a group of chatty mums having a picnic) and drew :) I'm pretty terrible at drawing buildings because straight lines >: ( Drawn with an 0.4 black fineliner.<br />

Hello!</div>
<br />
So I've recently been marathoning on movies ever since I saw Iron Man on television one night and realised how much I have been missing out on... Marvel - where have you been all my life? Although I have watched the first Captain America movie quite a while back I never fully realised how great Marvel movies were until now, so I've found the inspiration to list some movies that I've been enjoying recently!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<b><br /></b>
<b>Marvel movies:</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
Ok, so for Marvel movies there is an order in which you should watch the movies by (it's chronological order by which the events occur in the universe), but you don't have to as everything is pretty easy to understand - with a little help from the internet. The MCU releases the movies in 3 phases, ultimately leading up to Avengers: Infinity War where everything goes down.<br />
<br />
If you are interested in the order, <a href="http://shieldtv.net/marvel-cinematic-timeline-viewing-guide" target="_blank">check this out.</a> Well now that my small intro is over, check out the list of movies below (and some additional fangirling.) Instead of listing all of the movies with its own separate number, I just bundled them together into franchises. Enjoy!<br />
<br />
<b>1. Iron Man 1,2 and 3</b><br />
Iron Man - the movie that started it all. Can I just say that RDJ is and will be the only Tony Stark.<br />
<br />
<b>2. Captain America: The First Avenger + Captain America: The Winter Soldier</b><br />
I recently watched the second Captain America movie on Netflix which was great (yes, Australia has Netflix now!)<br />
<br />
<b>3. Thor + Thor:The Dark World</b><br />
Ok, so I wasn't very interested in this franchise because of all the 'fantasy' and 'magic' I thought it had but watching it was one of the greatest decisions I have ever made in my life. Tom Hiddleston as Loki? I THINK YES.<br />
<br />
<b>4. The Avengers + Avengers: Age Of Ultron</b><br />
Why have only one superhero in a movie when you can have six + Loki?<br />
<br />
<b>5. Guardians of the Galaxy</b><br />
So this movie had been on my Netflix homepage for quite a while and I showed little interest in ever watching it but it turned out great! It's a tad bit more comedic than other Marvel movies and just greatly entertaining overall.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Non-Marvel movies:</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>6. War Horse</b><br />
This movie was an emotional rollercoaster - so many feels. Be prepared to shed some tears.<br />
<br />
<b>7. The Internship</b><br />
I think I watched it over 2 years ago but nevertheless, it is a great movie for some laughs.<br />
<br />
<b>Documentaries:</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>8. Blackfish</b><br />
This is a little different compared to the rest of the list as it is a documentary. It tells the story of an orca called Tilikum and the truth behind Seaworld. It's quite fascinating to watch and a little bit emotional too.<br />
<br />
<b>9. Life </b><br />
This is a renowned documentary series which was nominated for quite a number of awards and let me tell you, it is quite brilliant with its breathtaking cinematography. Plus, it's narrated by David Attenborough. I highly recommend this.<br />
<br />
<b>10. Wild China</b><br />
Another documentary series with magnificent shots of the beauty of China, it's flora, fauna and people.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
And that sums up this list! Well, that's all from me this week. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: right;">
See you soon!</div>

ALOHA! :D</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Because I'm weird and I didn't find anything new I loved during September apart from music, this post will be replacing the usual monthly favourites post... sorry! :(<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
But if you're really desperate to learn about favourites, why not check out our last couple of months <a href="http://www.bubble-pandas.blogspot.com.au/2015/09/august-favourites.html" target="_blank">here</a> and <a href="http://www.bubble-pandas.blogspot.com.au/2015/09/august-favourites.html" target="_blank">here</a>? ;D</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Plugging aside, I've been listening to a really random bunch of songs lately, so I'd thought I'd share them with y'all!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can head to the end to listen to a Spotify playlist of them all if you have an account. :) If you don't know, Spotify is a free and legal music streaming service, and I use it occasionally when I'm really bored to discover new music ^_^</div>

Hello!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've decided to make use of the numerous hours I usually spend procrastinating and not doing anything by learning a new skill - crochet!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Crocheting does take time and patience, as most patterns require you to do the same thing over and over again numerous times. But patience is a virtue, and in the end you will be left with an amazing creation, hand-crafted by the one and only, you!<br />
<br />
All you will need to start off is some wool, and a crochet needle. The crochet needle size I use the most is the 3mm hook, but I usually have different sizes lying around as well.<br />

I started learning basic crochet stitches via YouTube videos and blog posts, and the very first thing I had crocheted is this little heart. It is extremely simple, and no former experience is required to crochet it. I followed this <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=23EvTAIFM_U" target="_blank">simple tutorial</a>. Of course, if you would like me to make a blog post with pictures showing you the steps, feel free to ask!<br />

I blame this piece of spicy fried chicken from <a href="http://hotstarchicken.com.au/" target="_blank">Hot Star</a>. Yes I accidentally wrote 'friend chicken'. No, it is most certainly not my friend- I thought I'd yolo and get it even though I'm not the most spice-tolerant human being in the world, and as a result I have a really sore throat T_T So yeah, I'm not feeling it today ._.</div>

Here's some English Breakfast soft serve from <a href="http://www.aquas.co/" target="_blank">Aqua S</a> that I thought I might chuck in here. For any Sydney siders who haven't heard of this trendy place, they're a soft serve ice cream shop with cool flavours that they switch out every fortnight, but their staple is the beautifully <a href="https://instagram.com/p/3TzJluBFzT/" target="_blank">aqua sea salt ice cream</a>... mmm so good :D</div>

<b>/ Pens /</b><br />
So I have this thing with skinny pens, well that's what I call them. I know that I'm probably wasting my money buying these (they were 3 for $5 on special) but I just love how thin the tip of the pen is! Plus, I write neater with these pens... so is it worth the sacrifice of my $5 note? Maybe.<br />

<b>/ Netflix /</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I recently found out that I had <a href="http://www.netflix.com/browse" target="_blank">Netflix</a>, but I haven't been excessively using the site (although maybe I should take the opportunity to do so...) I have started to watch a documentary series called <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0795176/" target="_blank">Planet Earth</a> - many of you have probably heard or seen it before - and it's amazingly beautiful! I highly suggest it if you're into documentaries or just breathtaking scenes. I might make a post on good movie picks, so stay tuned!</div>

<b>/ Green Tea Kit Kat /</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Otherwise known as Matcha Kit Kat, I have been waiting years to try this and the time had finally come. I have also read that there are two types of green tea kit kat, a more authentic matcha flavoured one and another sweeter one more commonly sold at airports in Japan for tourists. The kit kat that I have had the chance to try had a more authentic flavour - one could say that it is slightly bitter but I love the taste of matcha so yes, the hype is real. Amazing.</div>

Following the green tea/matcha flavour trend, I recently picked up a packet of this Matcha flavoured Pocky. I don't really know if it's actual Pocky or a rip off of the brand, but it tasted amazing nonetheless.<br />

ALOHA :D<br />
<br />
These past couple of months I've sped through quite a few books, so I'll try keep this short and sweet :)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSowS6WBc7PlfQ78KhthOhNLWkrG8ps6IesH5ToZK52k5KGbV4lyP6vlU9kRYexbVmCgCi3GWw7iMEJZiMdOgO0fLuZP04fWrymjFRdMxtnyFCMVpYS0BPDuEzmURYBY5yHeuthWtDjUs/s1600/IMG_4137.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="376" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSowS6WBc7PlfQ78KhthOhNLWkrG8ps6IesH5ToZK52k5KGbV4lyP6vlU9kRYexbVmCgCi3GWw7iMEJZiMdOgO0fLuZP04fWrymjFRdMxtnyFCMVpYS0BPDuEzmURYBY5yHeuthWtDjUs/s640/IMG_4137.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><u>Ruby Red / Sapphire Blue / Emerald Green</u></b><i> by Kerstin Gier</i> ★★★☆☆<br />
I had already watched the first two movies in German before I read these books, and it was definitely easier to imagine what was going on in the books with those visuals already in my head. This series is about time travel with a bit of a fantasy element, as well as a touch of (a rather silly) romance. The characters are a little flat, but it was still entertaining.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><u>The Mistletoe Promise</u></b> <i>by Richard Paul Evans</i> ★★★☆☆<br />
The usual Christmas romance story...<br />
<br />
except am I the only person who thinks it's a tad bit weird/unrealistic for a random stranger to come up to you and propose to be a fake boyfriend?! A random strANGER. THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW EACH OTHER. IT'S CREEPY. And OF COURSE this dude just happens to have an unlimited supply of money, which he uses on buying super expensive gifts for the girl who's A RANDOM STRANGER MIGHT I ADD.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><u>Burn for Burn / Fire with Fire / Ashes to Ashes</u></b> <i>by Jenny Han and Siobhan Vivian</i> ★★★★☆<br />
This series is pretty good, and has quite a few plot twists which is always interesting. This series has romance and even an element of fantasy-paranormal in it (which I was completely not expecting!), and revolves around the theme of revenge. The biggest let down in the series was thE ENDING. OH MY GOODNESS DO NOT EVEN TOUCH THE EPILOGUE OF THE LAST BOOK... I HATED IT!!! D: But otherwise, you find yourself getting kind of attached to at least one of the main three characters.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><u>The Selection / The Elite / The One</u></b> <i>by Kiera Cass</i> ★★★☆☆<br />
Basically The Bachelor meets The Hunger Games. Enough said.<br />
<br />
Although seriously, that basically sums this up! You have the social classes with the higher the number, the more poor you are, there is a competition for a bunch of women to fight for the throne beside a sparkly handsome prince, and of course, the decision to choose between your past lover or the new one (in the Hunger Games, that would be with Gale and Peeta. I was on Team Gale :P )<br />
<br />
I found myself cringing and facepalming a lot in this series. I don't regret reading it, but I really don't see how it became so famous.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><u>Anna and the French Kiss</u></b> <i>by Stephanie Perkins</i> ★★☆☆☆<br />
Another story that resembles the kind of teen fiction you see on Wattpad. I'm not entirely sure why this book is so popular... I found it kind of boring to be honest D:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><u>The Queen of Bright and Shiny Things</u></b><i> by Anne Aguirre</i> ★★★★☆<br />
I don't know why I liked this book so much, but I did. I found the main character pretty unique (well, as unique as it gets with these kind of YA contemporary chick lits). </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><u>Between Us and the Moon</u></b> <i>by Rebecca Maizel</i> ★★★☆☆<br />
I hate lying- and this story was based off the main character's lies she tells, and eventually gets so wound up in them that... urgh. Reading about her lying all the time made me so uncomfortable... but this book was the opposite to one above, as I wasn't a massive fan of the actual story, but the ending was awesome. When you first read it, you go WHAT?! THAT'S IT??? but then you realise the story continues on in your mind, and the author has already made her point clear.<br />

MY FIRST TIME TRYING A CRONUT!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For those unaware:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Cronut (n) - a mix between croissant and donut.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This was just a glazed one, and the texture of it was very cool! Lots of flakey layers and that classic croissant taste, but in a donut shape.</div>

Hmmm this would make a pretty cool DIY actually- stick some branches in a jar and hang off necklaces and jewellery.</div>

This gelato was from Cow and Moon, in the neighbouring suburb Enmore (it's a bit of a trek to get to), and apparently it's the best in the world! :O I got raspberry white chocolate / cookies and cream. Not the most exciting flavours whoops.</div>

I can't wait til the weather perks up a bit like on this day. Still struggling through the last week of winter here, but weirdly enough, yesterday was a blooming 28 degrees celcius! In winter!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yesterday in the sweltering heat I also played perhaps the last ever netball game I'll ever play... (It's an Australian sport that vaguely resembles basketball, in case you didn't know). I'm not sure how I feel about never having to worry about trimming my nails down so I won't scratch someone's eye out, or having to get up before the sun to go morning training, or being in such a close-knit and team that simply worked together really well, ever again.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Urgh.</div>

Growing up sucks! xD</div>

So what's been up with you lately? Any news? :)</div>

Ciao, stay fabulous!</div>

PS. Do you like the sparkley new blog features that we've added? I spent hours yesterday drawing up the new category tab thingies, and we're working on more cool stuff! Judy's also added a little 'Pin-It' thingy for computer users, when you hover over pictures, for Pinterest lovers. Pretty neat, huh? :D Any questions, queries, concerns, feedback for us in terms of blog layout (or just about anything?) Let us know in the comments below ^_^</div>

Hello readers!</div>
<b><br /></b>
So I have been quite busy (and lazy) lately, so I haven't read as much as I have wanted to... but nevertheless I shall share my book adventures with you ^_^<br />
<br />

<b>Falling into Place</b> - <i>Amy Zhang</i><br />
Let me just say, the cover is AMAZING. Ok- so yes, you've guessed it, it is another book from the teenage/young adult fiction genre. It's a bit confusing because of its tendency to skip from present to the past, but so far, so good! Again, I am in the process of reading this book, so my opinion about it may change ^_^<br />
<br />
<b>Animal Farm </b><i>- George Orwell</i><br />
I have been meaning to read this book for a very long time but it has gone to the back of my mind until now! Yep, it's a classic and you'll feel literate when reading it (... well I do) but another bonus is that it is quite short compared to other novels with only about 100 and a bit pages. So far, so good!<br />
<br />
