Hello everyoneI started a new blog ….
Its a better updated version of this old blog….
http://www.perksofbeingabookfreak.blogspot.com
Go check it and dont forget to leave a comment and follow it 🙂
So I will no longer post on this blog instead I’ll be posting on my new blog.
I know the struggle.
You want painted nails but you know you will ruin it. Also removing it leaves those marks on your nails. Not pleasing.
So here are some tips I like to do.
Step 1: some people put a mixture of glue and water around their nails others put tape , I put vaseline.
I tried it
It works to an extend
Its a fine way though
Step 2:
“WARNING YOU MIGHT GET REALLY ANNOYED. Practice it. Always. I will always read. ”
Sorry that was just my suggested text :p I just wanted to know what the sentence will be.
The second step though is to apply a coat of white nail polish before your chosen color.
Just try it you will see what I mean.
I put clear though idk I just do.
Step 3:
Apply your choswn color.
Be calm and patient while putting it especially on the hand that you usually mess up. If you are in a hurry you will mess up even more.
And if you mess up just wait till your nail dries and the nail polish that came on your finger will get right off with the vaseline.
Step 4:
Put a clear coat of nail polish to give it a proffessional special look.
Step 5 (optional)
If you want a matte effect hold you nails on top of a cup of steamin water while it is drying.
Misplaced modifier?
Whatever.
You get my point anyway.
If you want it to dry faster you could put your nails in ice water.
Note I didnt try these last two points the ice and steam I saw them in a tutorial only.
Step 1:
Do something new.
Draw.
Sing.
Dance.
Learn a new langauge.
Watch a new movie.
Listen to a new song.
Start a new blog.
Write a new book.
Get to know new people.
Cook new food.
Anything. It just has to be something new that you didn’t master yet.
Step 2:
WARNING YOU MIGHT GET REALLY ANNOYED.
Practice it.
Always. Anywhere anytime.
It will get frustrating. But it will be highly rewardable.
Step 3:
Earn The reward.
Once you do something all right for the first time you will feel so happy.
You might as well fly from happiness.

Allow me to explain.
An essential part of birthdays these days is writing your friend a paragraph wishing her or him happy birthday and reflecting how you found your years together.
Reading those paragraphs usually makes me so happy that I would cry…..(special ones ofcource)
But then I started wondering about their validity….. Did the person mean all those things or was it just words to make the paragraph look better?(I ofcource would wish to believe that they actually meant it)
I really want to know cause I want to keep something that I know someone means because some days when I feel like I am not needed anymore I would want to prove myself wrong. Often have I been less confident about how the feelings of people around me. I dont know why was I so insecure. And just as it was driving me insane this insecureness, I became me again. The same smile and feelings ….at least almost. I hope that whatever changed is only temperorary. I don’t want to be like that. I never wanted to cry in school. Or stay away from the world and my friends not wanting to come in contact with anyone. But you know what? It wasn’t me . I was forced into that. When everything just keeps falling and am standing helplessly watching it all…how do you want me to feel?
I no more want to be the insecure, depressed, annoyed girl I was. I am so done with her. She annoys me 😂.
I want to be all me again. I want to get rid of those small parts inside me that are still her.
A fe years ago (2013), my grandma passed away. I was 13. I felt great pain.I didn’t quite understand death and thought it was due to my young age. Almost 3 years now my other grandma passed away (yesterday). I felt confused for I still had very hard time understanding what happened and what that meant. I was shocked. It meant never seeing her again. I always thought that when someone mentions death. Along with other things but it is this idea that makes me kind of rap my head around the idea of death.
I am so exhausted mentally and physically.
I just want some rest
That is all I ask for.
I did not know why I started reading until this moment. I am a vey social person and I love speaking to people.
Maybe it was because my grandma died and I was very affected. But then it wasn’t just that…or thats how I felt anyways.
I feel like people are so bad.
Bad intentions.
Selfish.
Annoying.
Deep.
Shallow.
Envious.
Hating.
Rude.
Have alot of Misconceptions concerning behavior and values.
Have No brains.
Wanting.
Lies.
Actors.
Fake.
And the list goes on.
I know there are good people.
I know no ones perfect.
But it stunned me a few years ago when I a thought came up in my mind: I dont like most of the people around me.
I tried to dismiss it as a depressing thought because of the situation I was in but then it kept bubbling up every while and then.
I couldn’t deny it.
I tried to see the good in people and block everything else. I tried to convince myself that its enough that these people want me around and respect me. But no. The thought never let me. And every time this thoight comes up it depresses me.
Because people dont want to be better.
People keep disappointing me.
People keep on hurting me.
People keep on being bad.
This led to another deprssing conclusion: I dont want to know people. I want to be alone. Its so much relaxing and so much unhappiness will be put away….
I dont want to be like them.
I want to stay me.
I am fighting to stay myself.
But again I keep trying to keep this thought away too.
I need people in my life.
I need my friends.
My family.
Sometimes solutions arent so simple.
I am on a constant adventure to finding that person who understands. Who isnt perfect but tries to be. Who doesnt want to be like the people.
I read because characters are so much better. Because I am tired.
Because every while and then I feel so down. I feel like pushing everyone away on purpose.
But again that wasnt it.
I am not so unhappy with my life.
I reached yet another conclusion:
I read because I enjoy it.
I enjoy learning about people.
I enjoy living the adventures in a book.
I enjoy learning life lessons.
I enjoy it.
This is a writting I wrote a few years ago ( December tenth 2013). I came across it and remembered a situation that happened yesterday that really does relate to it. It made me annoyed that people think that standing up for yourself and not accepting any excuses for anything someone does makes you stronger. Why not forgive and forget?
Forgiveness is one of the most important values that is hard to obtain. well, maybe obtaining a value is the same as getting a habit… sometimes forgiveness is hard; in my opinion maybe it gets harder the more you are hurt. But that isnt an excuse. Allah the almighty forgives so who are we not to forgive?
In the series Divergent, Caleb the protagonist’s brother helped in her excusion. But as the writer wrote in the book
sometimes sacrificing yourself is the best way to show someone how much you love them. Depending on this Beatrice the protagonist decided to sacrfice herself for her brother even after she knew about his bad intentions. She forgave him. So the point is no matter how hard it is it is always POSSBILE.
In another trilogy matched , forgiveness is portrayed differently. The protagonist Cassia forgave her friend Indie after lying and stealing from her. Although the writer makes it clear that she forgave her because she needed her to be able to cross the river , I like to think about it differently. If people didnt forgive how are we supposed to survive? To make a better world?
Dont we need to forgive in making a better world?
It’s true that some people want to hurt you. Thet intend to do so and forgiving them is like
Giving them another bullet to shoot you when they miss
Should we forgive them?
Definitely.
Should we give them another bullet?
No.
Standing up for yourself and forgiving are completely different.
I mean I should be the last person to speak about that since I forgive people way too much but that doesnt mean I dont stand up for myself or allow anyone to disrespect me or even hurt me beyond the normal.
You could do both.
You can too.
You dont have to be cruel to be respected or more specifically feared in that case.
You dont have to use loud voice and bad words to get what you want.
Go tell him/her.
DO NOT
IGNORE
OR REVENGE
OR DESPISE
OR HURT IN ANY WAY
OR THREATEN
OR EVEN WASTE YOUR ENERGY TRYING TO TELL SOMETHIG THAT THEY MIGHT NOT EVEN GET A CLUE ON.
JUST GO TELL.
TELL WHAT YOU FEEL.
WHAT HE OR SHE DID.
AND HOW EXCATLY YOU FELT ABOUT IT.
its vey important to act this way.
You will feel alot better.
Although it might be akward and hard for you and might even temporarily cause the situation to be worse….but just trust me on this one :if ever you are put in a situation where you are angry at someone just tell him or her.
This isnt really a review more of an opinion.Also I am writing this while still reading. So I read some chapters then I add a comment over here.
Last thing I read was The Scorch Trials from The Maze Runner series.
Due to circumstances (my little brother couldn’t sleep at night and I had to stay awake) I started reading Hush, Hush (ill nickname it double H case the comma is in another place in the keyboard and all).
I held the book in my hand and underestimated it. I felt very dissapointed when I actually started reading it
THAT IS ONE GOOD BOOK.
don’t worry I am not going to spoil it. (I now read only 53 pages so no I can’t really write anything spoiling)
Do not underestimate it.
Okay I was kind of shocked at how it started …even though it as alittle inappropriate….
chapter something page two hundred something.
I literally cant stop reading
I have alot of other things to do.
I am a very curious person.i dont like it but am trying to keep it at bay during my life.
But wjen reading I like to keep things loose.
WHO IS FOLLOWING HER?
HOW DID HE KNOW WHERE HER HOUSE WAS?
HOW DID THE SCHOOL PSCH KNOW HE DROVE HER HOME?
WHO IS PATCH???
WHAT IS GOING ON???
WHY DOES SHE HAVE SO LITTLE SELF CONTROL? (not her fault but well….)
Now I honestly dont blame her .
I would have done the same.
Said the same.
Felt the same.
Its just I WANT TO KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON?
WHO ATTACKED HER FRIEND?
WHO WENT INTO HER ROOM???
WHAT IS HIS REAL NAME??
IS HE A FALLEN ANGEL??
IS HE THE ONE WHO THE BOOK STARTED ABOUT IN THE PROLOGUE. THE BOY WHO GRINNED AND MADE THE MAN OBEY HIM?????
The intensity of the book caused my heart to race …that when I paused reading my heart was beating really fast like I had just ran a marathon!
Finishing the book
Oh my…..
I fangirled about it all day to my friends…….
I want my own patch
Wait no maybe alittle of patch …..
With a little of a jacr wayland….a william herondale….a jem cartstairs…shane collins…Stark no last name…peeta melark….
I swear books raise my expectations of boys alot.
You should get the book.
Do not underestimate the plot or any other thing concerning the book because you will be shocked.
I think am going to go back to reading the third book of the maze runner seriesif I had time.
Being a sophomore. …not much luck with reading.
Plus SAT so that makes it no time to even breathe.
No am just kidding.
Okay am alittle short on time and the
moment I stop studying I cant even read because am temporary blind and deaf….so…
You know what I am in a very cheery mood today.
Because It had all paid of.
I am mostly satisfied with my grades.
Though I didnt get to know them all.
*****End of post****
I decided to stop talking about nothing so yeah.
I hope you all have a very good day but only if you like and comment on my post :p
1.The best summer book?
For some kind of reason I dont read that much during summer, but there is this one book that I read all in one summer day.That was The Fault in our Stars.I know. I know. Don’t get me wrong I wasn’t crazy about it or anything. I even have a whole blog post on that.Click here to have a look at that.
2.Worst book-movie adaption that you watched?
Divergent and Insurgent. I can’t express my frustration upon seeing the movies.The Insurgent movie review.(Its really short btw)

Never the same outfit ,but the same characteristics yeah.
I don’t dress up like Book characters though I do sometimes take some of their characteristics upon myself.

I think of this very often. It really inspires me and makes me feel better about most of the things I face in life.
5.What light do you like to read best in?
I don’t mind any type of light except if it’s directed toward my eyes or it’s too bright because then my eyes start tearing and I really can’t read then can I?ofcourse I can. ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE.
6.Doggy Ears or BookMarks?
BOOK MARKS.(i prefer my books looking fresh and new. without a single scratch)
7.A good book that you liked but wouldn’t like to read again?
That would be Papertowns.
8.Can you stop halfway through a series and never pick it up again?
never.i cant stop halfway in a book or series.I only did that once but no regrete about that book.
9.A book on your bookshelf that doesn’t belong to you?
I have quite much actually.
Well I have sibblings.
My sister used to read. My brother still read but he started downloading them instead of buying them.
10.Oldest book on your shelf?
Wizards of waverly place: spell bound

The mortal instrumnt city of bones by Cassendra Clare.(I couldn’t get the rest…perks of being a high school student)
15.What is the shortest book on your shelf?
The amazing “Glass House” from the morganville vampire series by Racheal Caine
16.How do you organzie your books on your shelf
I don’t have only one way. Every time I organize it differently.
A few ways include color,genre, books belonging to the same series, length of edge, my prefrences, etc.. (end of thinking capability ;))
17.The Newest addition to your shelf?
Alienated by Landers received as a gift from a dear friend.
18.Describe your bookshelf.
Not so thin nor so wide.
Light colored , wooden.
Consists of four shelves.
I only use the first two for books.

19.Do you write in your spare time?
Well I want to write a novel and I recently created a wattpad account. I never used it.
But instead I write here although not alot of people read it (I am kind of ambitious that one day alot of people will) but I like it here. I was thinking of giving myself a new try on blogger but I feel attached to wordpress so….yeah.
20.What is your most worn outfit while reading?
I read anywhere so there isn’t a specific answer for this question. I might be reading in a mall ,in the house, in a trip ,in a bus, in a hotel , etc….
21.What is one series that you found repetitive?
I feel like the word repetitive has a negative connotation here so I’d say no one book is ever like the other. And as a reader we shall never fail to see that.
But if the question is asking about some similar ideas.
I’d say that Divergent trilogy , The Hunger Games trilogy, and Matched Trilogy hold almost the same idea (which isnt a negative thing at all since each present it in a completely different way).I felt like all of them are speaking about putting down the unfair, evil society they are living in.
22.Which do you like most being a reader or a writer?
I honestly love both dearly.
Reading means exploring other peoples world through some letters connected together.While writting means allowing people to have a look at my little world through again some letters scribbled anywhere.
23.Your favoured reading spot?
My bed. Its so relaxing. It doesn’t hurt my head or get me a headache. It’s far away from all the noises. Its my airport center.
#airportcenter
24.Can you read with sounds around you?
Sometimes yes other times No.
Sometimes I can read during World War three. But other times I.just.can’t.
25.How do you feel when starting to read a new book?
Well first I feel like I have to collect and remember every single small detail.I would even sometimes go back and reread them. Then I just calm myself saying if its important they will repeat it.
26.When you hear one of your favourite books is being adpated into a film, what is your first thought?
I have been having this crazy idea about me directing the movie.
Or you know they would ask fangirls wheather this movie is okay to publish.We get to fix it and stuff. But since that is never going to happen I thought about maybe fangirls doing their own book-adpated movie. I am unsure though how to do this. I don’t even that much time to think much about it.I having dicussed this in an earlier post I got this very nice person saying they are in but am really sorry idk how am going to do that.
27.Any songs that remind you of a book
yea. The first song actually was recommended by a friend claiming that it reminds her of divergent. Having listend to it ….it actually does.
The second is from a book suggested listening list. It describes the main character Claire from the morganville vampire. And it was from the last book’s recommended list.
28.A book series that you’ve been wanting to get your hand on?
Several.
I think that is no question to as a book reader. Because we always want to get books.
But some of the ones I wanted are The harry potter series, the percy jackson series, all books by Rainbow Rowell, the rest of the Mortal instruments series,legend series, the rest of hush hush, shatter me series, the knife of never letting go…….and the list goes on till you know forever.
29.Is there any person you look up to when searching for books to read?
Several book lover friends.Although its been a while since I asked them.
-Yumna(which was the one who recommended the Divergent Trilogy the first book of this genre that I like and thus caused me to start searching for more.) Though she went so far away when I feel like reading a good book I’d ask her.She recomends to me any good book she readys anyways. But I never remember them all so I go back to asking her what they were.
-Lama my candor buddy.
And old vampire friend.
-Rawan The only person who fangirls with me over Cassendra Clare books.
-Shorouk we discuss books sometimes recommend some to each other.
-Shaymaa she always recommends books lately but I never get time to read them although I am dying to get my hands on them.
I hope I didn’t forget anyone. There actually alot but lately I have been having the best memory ever (note the sarcasm)
30.Any Books that affected your life?
All of them affected my life.
For example Tris’ s bravery made me braver.
I also have a post on that but am too lazy and in a hurry of posting something after all this time not postig anything (blaming school on this term exams and if not everyday there is either a quiz or a test)….if you want to read if just scroll alittle bit down on my main page you’d eventually find maybe some several things you would like to read??
There is this post though about books being life changing.
31.How do you like boys and girls?
First I would like to mention a very important lessons books taught me(I already knew the lessons but books made it almost inevitable for me)
I DONT LIKE SOMEONE BECAUSE OF HOW THEY LOOK.
Throughout almost everysingle book I never fully remembered the authors’ physical description of a character. I liked characters because of who they are. What they say. How they feel. Not at all because of how they look.
So If I was to answer a question like this I would say it does not matter that least bit how anyone looks…but what I would like them to look like is not so cute but not soo uk not cute….like A Herondale would be amazing to me. But ky from Matched is just too much….
Okay so looks in real life do kindof affect impressions.how? If the person is taking care of how they dress and that and that. What they cant deal with like their features that Alaah gave them I try best not to put those into consideration….but who am I kidding wouldn’t I like someone who looks cute with a good personality? Ofcource I will.
Dark , smooth hair.
Tall.
Muscular just a bit.(otherwise its scary)
Blue eyes I don’t like the green ones…brown eyes….hazel…whatever it is just not green
Good outfit.
No ripped jeans and low waist ones.
No big nose either.
Thats for boys.
For girls.
Good looking hair. Or does the effort to making it look good.
Tris
Claire
Clare
Katniss
Nora.
But really it wont matter the way I like them to look. Good personality is almost everything for me.
I actually get suspicious of good looking people. I feel like most of the time looks decieve so I try to be careful around them till I actually know them.
32.your thoughts about reading and the importance of reading in your life
Reading saves me.
Always.
And when people say they do not like reading I often explain to them that they just did not find a book they liked that would spark the reader in them.
Because how can someone not like reading? Don’t you read messages from friends?
Reading takes me to other worlds. I feel like I own the world when I read.
Its the key to alot of life’s secrets.
I find myself in books.over and over and over.
Although sometimes I feel like I lost the reader inside md that is often discovered to be untrue.
I will always read. Maybe not always a novel. Maybe someday I will read a book about teaching your children. I will always read the book of my relegion.The Quraan. I will always read when I want to. Because reading is part of my life. I will always read.
****************************************

I hope you have an amazing day.
Maybe leave a comment below of any thoughts you got while reading this?
