My Pre-Reading Rituals (Told in Hashtags)
PHONE CRISIS
I am knee deep in a phone crisis, and I need your help. I am confused, confused, confused, between two phones:
Nokia Lumia 925
VS
iPhone 5c
Now I can’t afford the iPhone 5s, but I love Apple and have an iPad and iPod Touch, so I know I can trust them and I’m very comfortable with the UI. However, I already own an iPod Touch as I said, so buying an iPhone will essentially be the same thing except there’s call features too, right?
The Nokia Lumia is running on Windows 8 and is definitely not something I have ever tried before. But I want to experience something new and different, and I love the way Nokia Lumia 925 looks and it’s camera is supposed to be fantastic. I don’t mind the limited apps, and it seems to have all the iPhone features while having a lower price.
But again, I’m more comfortable with Apple products, and I guess I’m just too nervous to try out something different. What if I don’t like it? Which has a better camera? Because I NEED to have a good camera on my phone.
Help me, people. It is a matter of life and death.
Alternate Reality Giveaway: The Paranormal
Hey guys!
I’m really sorry for posting this so late, but life got in the way and I also totally blanked out. (I’m so sorry Kayla, please don’t kill me). It is Day 4 and Today I will be talking about the Paranormal Genre within YA.
When you think of the Paranormal genre what do you think? Twilight? At least most people do. They think of shiny sparkly vampires and werewolves. Or you might think of the cliche, lonely (or average) girl meets a hunky mysterious guy who just screams DANGER yet she cannot resist him and he turns out to be a fairy, vampire, werewolf, etc. The Paranormal genre has gotten such a bad rep that most of us kind of inwardly cringe when recommended a paranormal book. We shy away from it.
Today I don’t really want to touch upon the “bad” of the paranormal, but focus on…

German – Day 2
I’ve been slacking off from my German. Busy, busy, busy…anyway, I crammed in sometime in between my schedule and learnt a few verbs. Nothing hilarious this time, just plain old German, and I must say, I’m coming to like this language a lot.
It’s so sophisticated. I’m just imagining myself walking around sprouting fluent German and all the people will look at me in wonder and awe and I’ll be able to say whatever I want to the people in my home town and most of them won’t understand it so I’m safe from social suicide.
Muhahaha.
Ich Bein AWESOME.
Gutenacht!
Liechtenstein & Heidelberg
I myself am going to be visiting soon. Can’t wait!
Traveling past the stony cliffs of Liechtenstein, we made it to the capital, Vaduz, where we grabbed some lunch and in enjoyed it in the shadow of the Royal Family’s 12th century castle. Measuring just 25 km in length and 6 km in width, the country is barely larger than Manhattan, doubly landlocked by Switzerland and Austria. It has a very high standard of living, and though it might not look like much on a map, up close it’s filled with numerous hiking and cycling trails offering amazing views of craggy cliffs, quaint villages, friendly locals and lush green forests.
Over the border and into Germany, we headed to the university town of Heidelberg. With free time this afternoon, we relaxed at one of Heidelberg’s pubs and climbed the Gothic church’s spire for great views over this pretty town. Afterwards we followed along the Rhine River, weaving through valleys dotted with castles and vineyards…
