Visited the Library...

Hey everyone,

I'm totally into English Literature and classical novels at the moment, which is why I went to the library and hoped to find some reading material. I've already been there last week and got two audio books ("Jane Eyre" by Charlotte Bronte and "Lady Susan" by Jane Austen).

Unfortunately the library in my town is not that big and they don't have many english books. :(  But this is what I got yesterday:

Sorry about the light. I'm quite a lousy photographer and the camera I use at the moment is probably not the best one. ;)

As you can see I found "Sense and Sensibilty" by Jane Austen. I actually didn't want to take it with me because the letters are very small and it won't be that nice to read but when I couldn't find any other Jane Austen novel in English I just took it.

The other book ("By a Lady") I found is a collection of extracts of Austen's novels, which is in Englisch and German.

As you can see I got four more Audio Books. There is "Moby Dick" by Herman Melville, "The Picture of Dorian Grey" by Oscar Wilde, "David Copperfield" by Charles Dickens and last but not least "The Hobbit" by J.R.R. Tolkien, which I already read and only brought for my boyfriend, so he can listen to it when he can't sleep. ;D

This is it for now - just wanted to show you what I'm interested in at the moment and I would love to see what you think about it in the comment section. :)

See you next time,

Hermione

Sunday Favourite #2 : Harry Potter Audio Books

Hey everyone,

today it's time for another Sunday Favourites and it will be the Harry Potter Audio Books (UK Version)! :)
I don't want to repeat my love for Harry Potter over and over again but...

***

After reading all the books in German and Englisch and watching every film in every language I know (;D) I also got the Audio Books in English because there was a lot of advertisement on Pottermore and I couldn't resist anymore. ;) 

shop.pottermore.com ;)

 The books are read by Stephen Fry in the UK version, while Jim Dale reads the US Version. After comparing the two man a little I have to say that Stephen Fry is my favourite! He just has such a calm and interesting voice, which is perfect for audio books because they can become a little dull I think - especially when the "reader" only has one voice. Stephen Fry gives personality to every character through his voice and this is just amazing.

 I'm currently listening to Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (Chapter 15 - The Unbreakable Vow :D) and I really enjoy it. Mostly I listen to it before going to bed and that reminds me of being a child and listening to audio cassetes in bed. :) (At this point I would like to apologize to my boyfriend because I never turn them off. ;D)

***

For the case that I finish the HP Audio Books I got some english literature classics like "Jane Eyre" and some from Jane Austen to listen to because I think I will become an Audio Book addict. :)

What do you think about Audio Books? Did you listen to the Harry Potter ones yet?

Hope you liked that little post and I can just recommend to give Audio Books a try - especially when they are about Harry Potter. :)

See you next time,

Get your freak on - TAG

Hey everyone,

I actually planned to write a film review about "Jane Eyre" because I watched it yesterday but it's harder than I thought.^^ I want to write something good and significant and this is why I will take my time with the review and do something else now. As you can see in the heading it will be the "Get your freak on - TAG". I hope I don't do too many TAGs but I always think they're interesting and this is why I would be happy if you did this TAG, too! :) You can either write down your answers in the comment box or send me a link to your Blog or whatsoever. :)

1. What's a nickname only your family calls you?

- I actually don't have one. My Mom sometimes calls me "Püppi" or something like that but it's not a real nickname. :')

2. What's a weird habit of yours?

- There are plenty! I, for example, only drink out of bottles and I always smell at them first. o.o I also hate to shake hands - I think that's disgusting.

3. Do you have any weird phobias?

- I'm scared of darkness and silence. Is that weird enough?

 4. What's a song you secretly LOVE to blast & belt out when you're alone?

- Hmmmm... I don't do that - seriously. -.-

5. What's one of your biggest pet peeves?

- I hate people, who always want attention and try to look at everybody inconspiciously after saying or doing something just to see their reaction. I also don't like it when people don't talk properly (and I'm not talking about people with problems) for example youngsters, who want to be cool. Arrrrgh! xD

6. What's one of your nervous habits?

- I probably jiggle my leg a lot of times or just walk up and down the whole time. 

7. What side of the bed do you sleep on?

- I always used to sleep on the side of the wall, if you know what I mean. But now my bed is in the middle of room, which is strange. I'm currently sleeping on the bed's left side.

8. What was your first stuffed animal & it's name?

- I had (and still have) an elephant and his name was "Kuschel".

9. What's the drink you ALWAYS order at Starbucks?

- I don't drink at Starbucks. I think it is overprized and I don't need it. I actually always just drink water anyway.

10. What's the beauty rule you preach.. but never ACTUALLY practice?

- "Take off your make-up before bed!" ... I have to confess that I sometimes do not remove my waterproof mascara. :/

 

11. Which way do you face in the shower?

- I change between facing the door and the window. (It is horrible to have a window in your bathroom - I didn't have that before and I haaate it!)

12. Do you have any 'weird' body 'skills'?

- I can turn my tongue in a strange way and I can make my nares look huuuge - cool, huh? xD

13. What's your favourite 'comfort food'/food that's 'bad' but you love to eat it anyways?

- Cake! I just love cakes and pies sooooo much! In summer time I also go for ice cream and basically everything thats sweet. :'D

14. What's a phrase or exclamation you always say?

- Nothing English apparently.^^  But in German it would be something mean and evil. xD

15. Time to sleep- what are you ACTUALLY wearing?

- Just some crappy shirt and leggins. Interesting, right? I'm sure the question maker hoped that everyone would go for "Nothing... nothing at all ;)" ... xD

I hope you had a little fun and don't feel like I wasted your time. :D  As I said: feel free to reply! I tag EVERYONE! ;)

See you next time,

Hermione

Talking about... the weather (or the end of the world)!

Hey everyone,

imagine me sitting in front of my computer and typing with shaaaky hands because I am scared as shit right now!

Let's start with this afternoon:

July 27th - about 3 pm

As you can see: the weather was fine. It was warm and sunny withouth a single cloud on the sky. Just lovely! :)

...But now I'm just thinking that the world is going under! 

July 27th - about 8 pm

I can't remember that I've ever heard louder thunders! And the lightnings are just so... light! (That will make clear how light they are.^^) Not nice at all!

I know that this post is rather unnecessary but I just wanted to give you an impression of German weather. And I honestly think that there was a lightning strike around the corner RIGHT NOW! o____________o  MOMMY? :(

I hope your evening as nice as mine,

Hermione ;)

7 Things for 7 Days

Hey everyone ... or should I say "Aloha Sprinklerinos"?

I love Louise (Sprinkleofglitter) and her Blog and because she did "7 Things for 7 Days" on her blog I will do this on my blog now, too. :)

http://sprinkleofglitter.blogspot.de/2012/07/interactive-7-things-for-7-days-july.html

So, here are my 7 things for August 2012:

1) I will definitely do a lot of blogging and try to get some readers / followers. :)

2) Hopefully I will get some answers from Universitys I applied at.

3) I really have to do a little work in my flat because I moved here this month and it still looks messy. :')

4) I wanted to say that I'd like to enjoy the sunshine BUT it just started to rain again and a huge storm is coming. :/

5) Primark! I want to go there this month, so this means I have to save my money. :)

6) I want to be open minded and a little more attentive. I love helping people but sometimes my dreaminess is in my way and prevents me from seeing people having problems or hard times. :(

7) The last thing I would like to do in August is to write & read more. I LOVE reading books but I'm so picky with everything that I don't read just every book that lands in my hands. ;) I also want to write my own stories. I do that since I was 12 years old but I'm always starting several things withought ending them.

***

So these were my 7 things for August 2012. :)  I hope you liked it and I would love to see your 7 things. - You can either write them in the comment box down below or link your blog page. :)

Have a nice weekend and see you next time,

Hermione 

Talking about ... Harry Potter!

Hey everyone,

today I would like to introduce a new "topic", which is "Talking about...". I will just talk about random stuff in this category, which you maybe already figured out yourself. ;)

As my Bloggername is Hermione and I'm actually always talking about Harry Potter I thought it would be nice to have it all written down in this specific Blogpost. 

***

Let's get started...

When I was about 8/9 years old my Mom bought the first Harry Potter book because everyone read it, everyone loved it and she thought my brother and I would like it as well. Mommy, you did a good job! - I loved it! I have to say that reading a "real" book was not that easy when I was 8/9 years old... especially when there are names like Hagrid and Hedwig and I always took Hagrid for Hedwig and the other way around, so for a period of time I thought Harry had a speaking owl :'D What I also didn't get was the term "Sir" because it's not very German and because I thought Hagrid was the speaking owl I thought "Sir" was a noise "he" made. o.o  Oh my god - I was stupid. :D

Okay, well in the end I read it and I loved it and just wanted to have anything Harry Potter related. I had a Harry Potter and a Ron Weasly doll, Harry Potter sparklers, Harry Potter letter paper with little owls on it, a Harry Potter pullover and last but not least: Harry Potter shampoo and shower gel! I really owned a Barbie-sized figure of Harry Potter, which you could "screw apart" and then you had some shampoo in it. I  still remember the smell of it! 

In 2001 (I think) I went to the movies to watch the first Harry Potter film... and of course I loved it! I probably was in love with Daniel Radcliffe and I still own a real autograph! If I find it, I will definitely post it because it is just too cute! :)

Aaaand here it is - best signing ever! xD

After that I had to deal with my classmates, who didn't like my Harry Potter pullover that much and who thought that Harry Potter was for children only - of course 11-year-olds aren't children no more...

I think Harry Potter and the prizoner of Azkaban was the only film I didn't watch in cinema, although it is my favourite by now!

When I was about 14 I watched Harry Potter and the goblet of fire with my best friend Sarah and I know she will hate me for it but: she loved Robert Pattinson back then! She always said: "Oh look at this Cedric Diggory - he is hot!" xD
Afterwards I read all the books again (had to lend them because I didn't own them anymore whysoever) and fell in true love (again). :) I really was overwhelmed by the whole world Joanne K. Rowling created and I wished it was real so badly - I still do btw. 

When I was about 17 my boyfriend gave me books one to seven for christmas (*.*) and one year later I bought the english versions myself.
I actually got two versions of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows because I bought one in Berlin when I visited my Grandpa and when it was brand new and the other one I got in the set I bought later. Maybe I can do a little giveaway when my Blog is bigger and has some followers?! :)

***

My love for Harry Potter just doesn't stop - it actually becomes stronger and bigger. xD Of course I am a member on Pottermore and my Username is ZauberHimmel5, so feel free to add me to your friendlist. ;D 

Currently I am listening to the Harry Potter audiobooks. I finished the first five ones and listen to Harry Potter and the halfblood prince at the moment - and (what can I say) I love it. I'm so into english accents and Stephen Fry just has an amazing voice especially because he speaks in like 10.000 different accents!

***

I think I have to stop now - this post is long enough already and I hope you liked it.

Please let me know what you think of Harry Potter in the comments section! :)

See you next time,
Hermione

Lush Review

Hey everyone,

so today I'm going to write a more or less short review about my first three Lush products I bought about 2 weeks ago. :)

I'm quite late when it comes to beauty stuff, so this is why I'm just exploring the big wide world of Lush... nevertheless I can already say: It's a Lush life! :)

***

The first thing I bought was the "Snake Oil". On the UK page it says:

Once you’ve worked this bar into the scalp, the cocoa butter will start to soften and lift dead skin. Meanwhile cade oil, tea tree, peppermint and lavender oils will go about treating and balancing the scalp.

By the time you wash it off, your scalp should feel like new.

The cade oil in here may smell of creosote, but that is because it has natural constituents of creosol, guaiacol, cadinene and terpenes. All of which might sound a bit scary, but in fact it makes this a natural antiseptic and anitmicrobal, perfect for treating many skin complaints.

Other products that work well in conjunction with this scalp bar are Soak and Float shampoo and Hair Doctor treatment. 

It's not nice to talk about it but my scalp is very sensitive and I've got some problems with it for a few months now. I've got neurodermitis and my sculp also is affected by it, which makes it itchy and not nice at all.

About the product: It smells horrible - seriously! I really don't like it because it reminds me of a mixture of menthol and gamon. BUT I'll try to overlook it and just hope that it will help. ;) The consistency is strange because it's like s piece of soap and you have to rub it between your hands to get some oil. This is not very funny or nice but doable. You then massage the oil onto your sculp and wait for about 30 - 60 minutes - at least I waited that long. After that you just wash your hair normally and the smell says "Goodbye!". :D

When I first used Snake Oil I felt pretty good. My sculp didn't itch and felt fresh and nice but after the second time I couldn't really make a difference. :/  It was itching again and you can see some neurodermitis on my parting in the hair again.

All in all: I will try it again and keep you posted. ;)

***

The second product I got was the "Rehab Shampoo". And again - on the UK page it says:

Our shampoo base has added carrageen seaweed gel to soften the hair.  Jojoba oil closely resembles the natural sebum of the skin, so is great for giving the scalp a little gentle help, without greasiness.

Olive oil gives tensile strength to the hair and helps it to survive brushing and combing.

Kiwi and mango are included for their nutritious minerals and vitamins. Rosemary gives shine to the hair. Papaya and pineapple contain papain, a natural enzyme, which breaks down dead skin cells and helps to clean.

Then, we add juniper and mint to help the scalp and encourage hair growth.

When your hair is crying out for help, Rehab is here to help you bring it back from the brink and put you on the path towards maximum health of the hair and scalp and everything working in the proper way.

Use with Retread Conditioner for a real turn around for neglected hair.

I don't like the smell again. :/  It's very minty and "herby" (does this word exist?^^) BUT it really works! I recommend to use it with a conditioner because it just cleans your hair and leaves them in a squeaky condition (which is good btw. but I have some problems to brush through my hair later). After using "Rehab" my hair looks healthier and feels very nice. It just does the job - what can I say? :)

 ***

I also got the "Big Blue Bathbomb" for my mother's birthday but can't say anything about it yet except: It smells goood! :D So my Mom can't see it before her birthday, I put the bathbomb in my closet and everytime I opened it I felt like I'm on vacation on the sea - nice, indeed. :)

As a little gift from Lush I got a tiny version of the "Charity Pot". And oh my god, this is THE product! :D I'm obsessed with it and sad that I only have this tiny pot because it's a miracle on my hands. As I only got a sample I didn't use it all over my body but only on my hands and it made them softer than ever before in my life! I'm not exaggerating! I had to get used to the smell (reminded me of very creamy oatmeal gruel with almonds and cocoa) but now I think it's okay - especially when it makes my hands this soft. What I also liked is that it's combined with this Charity Project, so all the money you spend on it will go to charity. Isn't that nice?

Here's a link to the Lush UK page, so you can find out more about the Charity project:

Sorry this post was a bit long - I hope you don't mind it and had fun anyway. :)

15 Questions TAG

Hey everyone,

I was thinking about my next Blogpost and had to decide between a Lush-Review (I recently got my first Lush-products ever!), a post about Books or Harry Potter in general and the following TAG. As you probably know by now I chose the TAG. ;)  Just because I know I'm having most fun doing this. 

As always: If you have any requests put them in the comment box down below. :)

1. What do you think you can do but can't?

- I probably think that I kick ass at Mario Kart... but I don't! :D 

2. What's a difficult word for you to pronounce?

- In English it is "voucher" (I NEVER know how to pronounce it!) and the name "Elizabeth". :')  In German I can't pronounce "Desinfektionsmittel" or "desinfizieren".

3. What is a favorite TV show from your childhood?

- To be honest I watched too much TV in my childhood. I loved every cartoon and anime that was on.^^ But my favourites probably were "Blinky Bill" and "Mila Superstar" when I was young and "The Tribe" when I was a little older.

4. What are your virtues and vices?

- Hmmm... I think one of my virtues is that I show a lot of empathy and that I just accept people the way they are. That means that I'm not close to a lot of people but I don't want to change them, either - does that make any sense?^^ My biggest vice is that I'm shy to death. It goes on my own nerves but I just can't help it. I'm also scared about a lot of things, which isn't good at all!

5. What's more important: love, fame, power, or money?

- Of course I go for love. I never cared about fame and power and money is just not as important as people think it is. I would prefer a world where you swap things. Do you know what I mean? :')

6. If you could live in any era/time period, when would it be and why?

- This is difficult! I would like to live in rococo only because I'd love to wear those beautiful dresses all the time.^^ No, I'm just interested in this time period. ;)

I would also like to live at the end of the 19th / beggining of the 20th century like in that Anime / Manga called "Emma". 

Aaand last but not least: I think it would be cool to be a young adult in the 50's. Dancing Rock'n'Roll and eating Cherry Coke in a pretty diner. :D  

...Of course I know that it never has been that easy as I imagine. ;)

7. If you had to redo your entire wardrobe with 2 stores, what would they be and why?

- H&M and Primark. The thing is that there is no Primark in my city or near my city, so I've not been there yet BUT I saw sooo many Primark Hauls on Youtube and I just love the clothes you can get there, it is just not that big in Germany yet. 

8. Can you recall what you were doing a year ago on this day?

- No, but I was probably asleep... because of summer holiday. :'D

9. Do you have reoccurring dreams? If so, explain? 

- I wanted to say no but then I remembered a reoccuring dream. I sometimes dream that I jump veeeery high and can't touch the ground anymore. And if I do I jump again - so I can't stop jumping. S t r a n g e ! o.o

10. What's your horoscope?

- I'm a taurus.

11. What does your dream bedroom look like?

- Full of packing cases because I just moved here with my boyfriend and it's not ready at all yet. :'D  

12. What position do you sleep in?

- I usually sleep on my side... and I need the whole bed for it. :D

13. Who is your favorite vampire of all time?

- Not sure who it is exactly but it definetly is a vampire, who sleeps in a coffin and drinks human blood... and he doesn't sparkle in the sunshine but he melts! I like the real vampires. ;)

14. What are you currently wearing on your feet?

- Socks? Actually they are quite pretty. Here is a picture. :D

 15. Do you have neat handwriting? Show us!

- No, I don't! 

I hope you liked that and had some fun. :) I would be veeery happy if you would also do this TAG and tell me about it. :) ...By the way: I'm "tagging" EVERYONE, so feel free to do the "15 Questions Tag". ;)

See you next time,

Hermione

Sunday Favourite

Hey everyone,

today I'd like to present you a "new category" I thought of and it's the "Sunday Favourite(s)". Every Sunday I will show you something I really like and it can be nearly everything (books, films, clothes, make-up, food...). I hope you'll enjoy that. :)

My first Sunday Favourite is Ben & Jerry's "The Vermonster". It's Maple Syrup Ice Cream with Caramelised Pecans and a Caramel Swirl. 

To be honest: I don't like Maple Syrup and I would never go for nutty flavoured Ice Cream but this one is just SO good! ...And this is not good at all because Ben & Jerry's is so expensive in Germany. It's only available at petrol stations and you have to pay 6,49 Euros for 500ml. How is it in other countries? Does anyone know if it's cheaper in America for example? :)

Nevertheless, I really enjoyed The Vermonster... but it was empty too fast. ;)

Tell me what you think about Sunday Favourite(s)... and Ice Cream. ;)

I hope you have a nice day - see you next time.

Hermione

Look what I got today!

Hey everyone,

so today I found something reeeeeally nice in my letterbox. :)

First, I'd like to tell you a tiny little story...
In March 2011 I was on a concert of "The Chariot" - this is not my favourite type of music but my boyfriend and the band he played in that moment were the supporting act. Soooo, the bass player of the Chariot wore this super cool white Shirt with the symbol of Harry Potter's Deathly Hollows on it and from that day on I looked for that shirt SO badly! It was love at first sight. ;)
Last week I found zoella280390 on Youtube and saw that she has the exact same shirt - and as nicely as she is, she posted the link where to buy it in the description box! Good girl, Zoe, good girl! :D

http://orangecircle.spreadshirt.co.uk/deathly-hallows-cosmic-ladies-tshirt-A18722272/customize/color/321

You can get that shirt in different colours and sizes and I got mine in size M and chose the brownish type of colour. On the webside it looks olive, which I absolutely love but in reality it comes in a brownish colour as I said. Nevermind, this looks nice as well. ;)

The symbol has quite a cool pattern, because it looks like the nightsky or a picture from space, which is very pretty I think!

This little shirt made my day and I can overlook the fact that there's no summer at all over here in Germany (in July!)... but only for today. ;)

I hope you like it as much as I do... and I really recommend getting one because I think it's a bargain. I got the Shirt from the UK and it was 14,49 Pounds + 2,00 Pounds for shipping, which is great I think!

Have a nice weekend and see you next time,
Hermione :)

Burt's Bees Tinted Lip Balm (Hibiscus) REVIEW

Hey everyone,

today I'd like to talk a bit about my favourite Lip Balm, which is the Tinted Lip Balm by Burt's Bees. 

Before I start I want you to know a little of my background in regards to cosmetics: There simply is none! ;)  I'm 21 years old now and I'm just starting to like some tiny bits of Make-Up and Cosmetics. Sounds weird for you... and for me as well. :D What I atually wanted to say is that I only used some Lip Balms you can get in a supermarket while buying vegetables. ;)  Before Burt's Bees I used Lip Balms from "Labello" and "Bebe" and some totally no-name products and I never realized that they didn't help AT ALL! 

After seeing some girls talk about Burt's Bees products on Youtube I got curious and bought the Hibsicus Lip Balm. It is quite expensive, I think (7,95 Euro) - BUT it really helps and it looks gorgeous on your lips!

 Just to show you the colour and the very nice packaging, I post this picture, which I took from: 
http://myrayofbeauty.files.wordpress.com/2011/02/burts-bees-hibiscus-package.jpg because my Lip Balm fell down and doesn't look pretty at all anymore. :(

Okay, let's get serious. As I said I really like the packaging. It's simple but I really love the dark brown combined with the reddish Hibiscus colour.
The smell reminds me of red tea and I really like it as well. :)
The texture is okay. It's very creamy BUT it does this thing with your little wrinkles on the lips, if you know what I mean. ;) Sometimes it just doesn't look that good, especially when your lips are very dry. But I don't mind as long as the lip balm makes them soft again. ;)
The colour itself is beautiful! I was looking for a colour that is slightly darker than my own lip colour and underlines it. And what should I say? Well down you people from Burt's Bees. :D I will show you some pictures of my lips before and after applying the lip balm in some days. ;)
As I said several times now the effect is brilliant! My lips never felt so soft and nice and I'm just convinced by this lip balm.

All in all: I'm in love. ;)  I really recommend the Burt's Bees Tinted Lip Balm and I'm going to get it in different colour shades as well in the future. ;)

I hope the review was helpful and you had fun. :)

Have a nice day and see you next time,
Hermione 

"Get to know me" - TAG

Hey everyone,


so now that I'm "new" in being a Blogger, I'd like you to get to know me a little at first.
I wasn't tagged by anyone but I'm tagging all of you. :)


The questions I took from the TAG that Estée from essiebutton (youtube.com/essiebutton) did. Please visit her channel and watch her videos if you don't know her yet because she is just absolutely adorable and so hilarious! :D


Okay, let's get started...


1) Are you named after anyone?
- What a great start: No, I'm not... = boring! :'D


2) When was the last time you cried?
- I can't remember actually. That's good, because I tend to cry quite often... because of the most random stuff like films or books. :')


3) Do you have any kids?
- No, not yet. I just finished school but definetly want children in the future!


4) If you were another person, would you be a friend of yourself?
- I'd like to say yes, but have to say "probably not" in the end because I'm shy to death and I think it's quite hard for other people to talk to me to be honest. I don't like that but it is how it is. :D


5) Do you use sarcasm a lot?
- Oh yes! 


6) Would you ever bungee-jump?
- No... because I'm a little scaredy cat. And also I don't know why anyone would like to bungee-jump in the first place. Just don't get it. :'D


7) What's your favourite cereal?
- I didn't found any cereal I don't like yet. :D  I love almost everything from "Kellogg's", so everything sweet and unhealthy and child-manipulating.^^ In fact: I love the little toys you get with every cereal!


8) What's the first thing you notice about a person?
- Probably the whole appearance, meaning looks and mimics and body language. I also find myself looking at hair and shoes for some reason - well, I don't mean to be superficial at all but... it just happens. :)


9) What colour are your eyes?
- Blue and a little greyish.


10) Scary movies or happy endings?
- I don't need any of it. I HATE horror movies - I really do - but in my opinion a film doesn't have to end in a happy way either.


11) What are your favourite smells?
- Hm... as a perfume I love "Puma Flowing" and I don't know why because I'm no Puma-girl at all.^^ I just prefer floral or fruity smells.


12) Summer or winter?
- Summer it is! I hate winter and every cold and grey day of the year! I know that this doesn't match my love for England at all but I just like warm and sunny days too much.^^


13) Computer or television?
- Computer! I stopped watching tv last year (the last thing I watch was the Royal Wedding, just so you know xD) because it just went on my nerves SO badly! After stopping to watch the telly ( I hate that word but whatever^^) my mind felt incredibly free.


14) What's the furthest you've ever been from home?
- I was in Egypt when I was about 10 years old... that's it. Unfortunately my family isn't that travelling type of family. We never went to different countries on vacation like other people. I've just been to the Netherlands, Belgium and England for a couple of times.


15) Do you have special talents?
- Oh my god, that's embarrasing and sad but to be honest: I don't think so. I am quite a good writer (in my mother language) but I'm not sure if this is a talent. 


16) When were you born?
- May 1991.


17) What are your hobbies?
- Obviously I like reading and writing a lot. I also like to watch films and shows like How I Met Your Mother (I'm watching online) and I love Animes! Sometimes I'm in this phase where I love to play video games... but it goes as fast as it came.^^ 


18) Do you have any pets?
- Yes, I have. :)

19) What's your favourite movie?
- It's quite obvious that I LOVE Harry Potter. Although I don't think the films are excellent, I love them just because it's Harry Potter. :)  


20) Do you have any siblings?
- I have an older sister and a younger brother. :)


21) What do you want to be when you grow up?
- I'd like to do several things, such as teaching, writing, translating and just helping people in different kind of ways. 




...So, that's it for now. If you have any questions or something else to say please write a comment and I will definetly read it or answer to it! :)
You can also put requests for TAG's or anything else you want me to write about into the comment box of course.


Have fun and "see" you next time,
