What to Do When Its Raining

Sometimes, we all dont like rain, we never appreciated rain. But actually, you can do lot of things when raining. 


1. Clean up your closet. This might be the best opportunity for you to give out your used clothes to charity and maybe shop for new ones.
2. Read a book. This might seem like a cliche’, but reading a book has always been considered fun and productive.
3. Gather the family and play board games. It will be a good way of spending quality family time.
4. If you’re alone, video games will do. If you’re not alone, then play video games with a partner or with your kids.
5. Call up some friends and have a simple house party. You can come up with a themed cooking and eating activity.
6. Watch a movie.Some people prefer to watch their favorite movies over and over to make them feel better, while others would like to watch random movies on cable. This will definitely make the rainy days more fun, especially when you spend it with the people you love.
7. Learn to cook your favorite meal. This only applies if you don’t know how to cook. Wouldn’t it be wonderful to be able to create and eat your favorite meal at any time without ordering or having someone else cook for you?
8. Bake cookies and other goodies. Doing this with loved ones is always better.
9. Go out in the rain and play like a kid.
10. Play the hippest dance music and dance the rainy day away.
11. Do crafts. It takes the stress away. You can do cross-stitch or simple scrapbooking.
12. Call or email people you haven’t been in touch with for a long time.
13. Enjoy a good cup of coffee, either at home or a nearby cafe.
14. Drive to the mall and do some window shopping.
15. Do online shopping.There are many things you can buy online.
16. Plan your next vacation by visiting travel websites.
17. Visit the nearest museum.
18. Visit the nearest library.
19. Organize your photos and photo albums. Make captions for each picture.
20. Plan a special dinner for the whole family to partake in.
and also, just spend your day curling in bed, with lots of blankets, confy pyjamas, socks, and lots of pillows. Just enjoy your day.

“The moon is a loyal companion.
It never leaves. It’s always there, watching, steadfast, knowing us in our light and dark moments, changing forever just as we do. Every day it’s a different version of itself. Sometimes weak and wan, sometimes strong and full of light. The moon understands what it means to be human.
Uncertain. Alone. Cratered by imperfections.” 
― Tahereh MafiShatter Me


“Imagining the future is a kind of nostalgia. (...) You spend your whole life stuck in the labyrinth, thinking about how you'll escape it one day, and how awesome it will be, and imagining that future keeps you going, but you never do it. You just use the future to escape the present.” 
― John GreenLooking for Alaska

“I don't think he meant to kiss me," I said finally.
"What? Did he slip and fall on your mouth? Those things are known to happen.” 
― Jennifer L. ArmentroutObsidian

― John GreenThe Fault in Our Stars

“Loneliness is a strange sort of thing.
It creeps on you, quiet and still, sits by your side in the dark, strokes by your hair as you sleep. It wraps itself around your bones, squeezing so tight you almost can't breathe. It leaves lies in your heart, lies next to you at night, leaches the light out of every corner. It's a constant companion, clasping your hand only to yank you down when you're struggling to stand up. 
You wake up in the morning and wonder who you are. You fail to fall asleep at night and tremble in your skin. You doubt you doubt you doubt. 
do I
don't I
should I
why won't I
And even when you're ready to let go. When you're ready to break free. When you're ready to be brand-new. Loneliness is an old friend stand beside you in the mirror, looking you in the eye, challenging you to live your life without it. You can't find the words to fight yourself, to fight the words screaming that you're not enough never enough never ever enough. 
Loneliness is a bitter, wretched companion. 
Sometimes it just won't let go.” 
― Tahereh MafiUnravel Me

― Rainbow RowellFangirl

^so true tbh hahah

“People like to say love is unconditional, but it's not, and even if it was unconditional, it's still never free. There's always an expectation attached. They always want something in return.

― Katja MillayThe Sea of Tranquility

― John GreenPaper Towns

― John GreenThe Fault in Our Stars

“Becoming fearless isn't the point. That's impossible. It's learning how to control your fear, and how to be free from it.”

4 Ways to Wear Ankle Boots

1.  Wear Ankle Boots with a Skirt or Dress


When choosing to wear ankle boots with a skirt or dress, it is important that the length of the skirt or dress fall at mid-thigh, to make the legs look slim and trim. Typically, the shorter the skirt or dress is, the longer the legs will look especially with a pair of black tights. However, wearing a dress or skirt that is long will make the legs look shorter. To make the legs look even longer, choose a stiletto type heel. The following are some stylish ways to wear ankle boots with a dress or skirt:
Wear high-rise ankle boots with a mini skirt or short dress. The higher the boot, the shorter the hemline should be.

2.Ankle Boots with Pants or Leggings

When wearing ankle boots with pants or leggings, it is important to remember black is slimming, lengthening, and flattering. Therefore, black boots should be paired with black leggings or tights. Jeans should be dark wash for a more figure forgiving look. When wearing ankle boots with pants or leggings, one needs just the right outfit to give the legs a long slim look. The following are some sleek styles for wearing pants or leggings with ankle boots:
Wear ankle boots with skinny jeans. When wearing with skinny jeans, be sure to tuck the skinny jeans into the boots and wear a tight top or loose blouse. However, if the ankle boots are tight fitting around the ankle, choose pants that meet right at the top of the boot so one doesn’t get that bunched up look.

3. Ankle Boots with Shorts

Wearing ankle boots with shorts may seem like a fashion no no, but in fact, it is a chic new look. Shorts and boots give a longer slimmer look to the legs, but one has to know what attire looks flattering. The wider the boot is around the ankle, the slimmer the legs look. The following styles will flatter the body when wearing ankle boots and shorts:
To show off some leg, a pair of cuffed shorts with a loose top style ankle boot will do the trick. To get an even longer leg look, stiletto heels make a more noticeable effect.
For a casual look, a pair of flat ankle boots with some cut off jean shorts can give a real cowgirl look. Try suede ankle boots to compliment the style.

4. Ankle Boots and Graphic Tees
from forever21

I will always love graphic tees because they are fun, and pretty.

Best Way To Lose Weight


We all know, the best way to lose weight is eat less, and exercise more. It seems pretty easy, but its actually not! Expecially if you are a busy person, student or workers, who don't have time to exercise. So here are, 6 little things that you need to do, to lose a bit of weight.

Tip Number 1:
Drink a lot of water, and non calories beverages.People sometimes confuse thirst with hunger. So you can end up eating extra calories.when an ice-cold glass of water is really what you need.
If you don't like plain water, try adding citrus or a splash of juice, or brew infused teas like mango or peach, which have lots of flavor but no calories.

Tip Number 2:

Be choosy about night time snacks. Sometimes, after dinner you decide to relax after a long day, right? So you eat a full bag of chips, dozens of chocolate chips cookies in front of TV, and drinking soda. Uh oh. You really need to stop that habit, choose a snack thats healthy. Like Strawberry Shake, Frozen Bluberries, a nutritious sandwich and also Yogurt Cubes (google it, they're delicious) 

Tip number 3:

Get Some Sleep.People who sleep seven to eight hours per night are leaner than those who get only five or six hours. The message is clear, right? 

Tip number 4: 
Walk! Don't be an Internet Princess.

Dont just sit there.The average person burns 100 calories per hour sitting and 140 per hour standing. Get on your feet 2 hours a day while you work, and you could drop an extra 6 pounds over the year. Go walk your dog, your cat, your turtle, your uncorn, everything! Make it as a habit. Dont spend too much time on the internet.

Tip number 5:
Name That Craving. Ask yourself what you really want: Salty? Sweet? Smooth? Crunchy? Food cravings can be broken down into four categories. If you are craving sweet and crunchy, try a mini bag of popcorn mixed with a little bit of artificial sweetener or even sugar. If you want sweet and creamy, opt for a light vanilla yogurt.. If you're thinking about something salty and smooth, try a couple of pieces of low-fat string cheese; if you really want salty and crunchy, try a handful of dry-roasted nuts or soy nuts.

Ways To Cheer You Up When You're Sad

ahoy!
tonight ill be posting, what to do when you're down, sad etc.
it really works for me....so yeah you should try it too


1.  Sing. Loudly. Badly. Off-key. Whatever you like. It works.

2. Listen to happy, chill, music any type music that will light up your day. I suggest to go to 8tracks, it has a lot of playlist like tons of playlist with various genres.

3. Read books, a stand alone romance novel will be your soulmate when you're sad.

4. Eat Desserts. Chocolate bar. chocolate cake, ice cream, souffle, anything. Eat it all, don't be guilty.

5. Get a pet. Puppy will always works.

6. But a notebook, you can write sooooo many things in there. Like your favorite poems, song lyrcis, quotes, etc.

7. Read outside, on nearest park, with flowers and grass, and trees around you.

8. Buy relaxing candles, lit it up, lie in your bed, listen to music. 

9. (if you're a girl) i really like those lady boners account on twitter. Check one and stalk their tweets/pics. Bunch of cute boys would cheer up your day, right? 

10. Get a proper sleep. I like it when i sleep, because you forget about everything, problems for a while.

11. Run a movie marathon. Go watch comedies, dont watch sad romantic movies if you're going through a breakup. But comedies is the best.

12. Swing! Everybody LOVES swinging, on playground, on your backyard, i dont care because i find all the world's problems can be fixed with a little swing time. 

13. Inexpensive Pampering, buy nails product, hair products, perfume, have a "me" day. 

14. Bubbles. Blow bubbles and pop them. You can make one by yourself, using dishwashing liquid, water, sugar / corn syrup. add a little bit scented liquid soap if you want it to smell good.

15. Warm bath. Run yourself a warm bath, gather your pampering treatments, all the luscious soaps and shower gel you don't want to use because its too "special". Use them all. Lit a scented candle, read a novel. Or just run a bubble bath.

16. Drink a latte, make yourself one or buy it from your nearest local cafe. 

17. Online shopping, everybody likes online shopping. go to urban outfiters, or topshop, pacsun, anything. But if you're a bit low on budget, go to forever 21. 

18. Bake a cookies, a lot of cookies. If you don't have anyone to share with, eat it by yourself. 

19. Decorate your room, but first you need to clean it up if its messy. Decorate it with rad paintings, hanger, or even paint on your walls.

20. Have a pyjama party. in bed, just you, and something (or someone) to snuggle with, laptop, pillows, your pet, anything. Make yourself a hot chocolate and get some snacks. Watch a movie, or just listen to rad music.

21. Laugh, even when there's nothing to laugh at. Laughing release endorphin.

that is all, i tried many from them and it works. 
thank you so much for reading, ily.

Shatter Me Review

hi! this would be my first post on my blog
since i dont know what to post, ill post a review about my fav book :)




the synopsis: 
Juliette hasn’t touched anyone in exactly 264 days.

The last time she did, it was an accident, but The Reestablishment locked her up for murder. No one knows why Juliette’s touch is fatal. As long as she doesn’t hurt anyone else, no one really cares. The world is too busy crumbling to pieces to pay attention to a 17-year-old girl. Diseases are destroying the population, food is hard to find, birds don’t fly anymore, and the clouds are the wrong color.

The Reestablishment said their way was the only way to fix things, so they threw Juliette in a cell. Now so many people are dead that the survivors are whispering war – and The Reestablishment has changed its mind. Maybe Juliette is more than a tortured soul stuffed into a poisonous body. Maybe she’s exactly what they need right now.

Juliette has to make a choice: Be a weapon. Or be a warrior.


woah.
woah.
woah.
I liked the cover, the synopsis are pretty good and makes me curious / think about "264 days? really?" 
I really enjoyed the story. But i dont really like the main character, Juliette. She whined like every single time, im like blah no stop it you're annoying

at the first, i dont want tor read the book but im running out of book at that time, so i decided to read it. 
But i love how Tahereh Mafi's writing. Its really elegant, and pretty.

few examples/lines from the book:

“The moon is a loyal companion.
It never leaves. It’s always there, watching, steadfast, knowing us in our light and dark moments, changing forever just as we do. Every day it’s a different version of itself. Sometimes weak and wan, sometimes strong and full of light. The moon understands what it means to be human.
Uncertain. Alone. Cratered by imperfections.” 


“Hope is hugging me, holding me in its arms, wiping away my tears and telling me that today and tomorrow and two days from now I will be just fine and I'm so delirious I actually dare to believe it.” 

but
I don't really like how Mafi is repeating words way too often.

I dont like Adam also, never liked Adam.  I don't like  Warner at Shatter Me, but oh my god if you  read Unravel Me you'll be fallen in love with Warner like really, im team Warner. 

The good things about this book are, the writings, the plot, and this "dystopian" situation. 
Actually, it IS a good book but i think i said waaay too many "i dont like" on this review.

Overall, this is a good, beautiful book to read.
Don't forget to read Unravel Me, like you need to read Unravel Me right away after Shatter Me.


and oh! the third book is called "Ignite Me" will be published on February 2o14
:)
