2018 About Christmas.

In the beginning, Christmas was about Jesus, that’s why Christmas time was born, right? Because of Jesus and his identity as God’s son.

Ages later, Christmas time started to be something about feelings and spending time with the family: Being good, sharing, being friendly, generous, forgiveness and love. If someone wanted to remind others that is about Jesus Christ, it’s ok.

Nowadays? What I see around me it’s just people in a rush baking food, shopping presents and calling to all of those relatives whose they didn’t mind to ask the months before about them, but now they are invited for eating and drinking together and together making a great effort for being happy.

  

So, what does Christmas mean? You have to go, immediately, to the original source. Everything else might be an error. Maybe Jesus is the reason for the season.

Tag: Harry Potter

What is your favourite book?

Harry Potter and the philosopher’s stone. I’ve read this book four times in two different languages. It’s the beginning, the whole story bursts here and I feel a huge feeling of expectation that makes me stay stick on my sofa for hours.

What is your favourite movie?

My favourite movie is the same book. I remember how many times my father rented the DVD and bought at home. We loved it since the very first time.

What is your favourite quote?

Dumbledore was and is a really great wise person and I could tell you more than one quote, but If I have to tell you just one right now, I’ll tell you one I recently in a letter to my sister:

To fight and fight again, and keep fighting, for only then could evil be kept at bay, though never quite eradicated.

What is your least favourite book?

I think, if I remember correctly, Harry Potter and the half-blood prince was a little slow to me.

Parts of the book that made you cry.

I remember exactly when I dropped tears. Dumbledore’s funeral. It was like I was there, too.

Favourite character

The first time I read the whole series I fell in love with Molly and her tenderness with Harry. This second time, Luna caught my attention…

What would your patronus be?

A Cat, duh! I love cats! It couldn’t be another animal.

If you could have the resurrection stone, invisibility cloak or the Elder Wand, which one would you choose?

I'd rather choose the cloak. I reckon I would have some fun with it.

What house would you be in?

Look to wise old Ravenclaw if you’ve a ready mind, where those of wit and learning will always find their kind.

That will do, people.

Have you played any of the video-games?

Well, I played Lego Harry Potter and Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s stone on my pc. (Personally, I enjoyed the most the three first Lego Harry Potter)

If you were on the Quidditch team what position would you play?

I’d rather be the seeker like Harry and to be the more important player, but I think I’m so good stopping the Quaffle in front of the hoops.

Were you happy with the ending?

Well, It had to have an end. I’m not mad if that is what you want to know.

How much does Harry Potter mean to you?

I wrote an article you can visit here.

That's all. It was fun.

   

North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell

This is my favourite cover.

ARTICLE WITH SPOILERS

1855 was a very difficult year, I’m talking about women, but even when women had tough times, there are, always, brave women emerging everywhere. Elizabeth Gaskell was one of these women I’m talking about. Her main female character is a brave woman but Mrs. Thornton, John’s mother is braver. There are too many things to talk in this wonderful story based on the revolution industrial in England and with a love story simmering among their pages. (The better ones)

Daily Emergency Kit Essentials

Hello girls!!

I’m very excited because of this article that I wanted to share with all of you.

I’m so aware that this kind of information it is not new and in fact, I saw a great bunch of videos on Youtube before making my own emergency kit but I wanted to write this here and let you know “What I’m having in my daily emergency kit essentials”

It was supposed to be any movie but no, we’re talking here about Studio Ghibli and that is a great deal. If you don’t know anything about this Studio I recommend it to you fervently. It’s like the other side of Walt Disney and its princesses.  

Autumn lover tag

I love autumn season and I hope it's not too late for doing this tag but I had other things to do first and here where I live autumn wasn't bloomed just as I like and I thought that I should wait a bit longer until autumn was settled. 

Now we're all together gathered we can start so without any further ado let's see what I think about this brown-yellow season.

Let's get started!

Just a few words about Harry Potter

Pinterest

As too many of you already know my first passion and all my life lies in Jesus Christ, below him, I spend the rest of my leisure hours reading. To be honest, I love more reading than watching movies which I’m not saying I don’t like watching movies because I do. It’s just I like more reading, that’s all.

Well, so what am I reading these days? I have a habit and that’s it, every winter I take Harry Potter and the philosopher’s stone and I read it. I’m doing that 4 years in a row but this year I’ve got the opportunity of reading the whole series and I started in summer. But why I want to read Happy Potter’s book in winter?

Pumpkin Pie Wars. {Hallmark Movies}

 What a beautiful dawn we had.
 I feel tired and sleepy..
 It's a perfect day for a big nap.
 I liked this movie, so autumnal.

My sweet cottage

My sweet and beautiful cottage. Four generations of my family you saw us living within your big belly and I and my brothers and cousins were the last generation you taken in. I’m glad that I could meet you. All of us, even those members aren’t with us today are glad. You saw us growing, you saw our first steps, our first words, our first quarrels and you still carried on giving us shelter, anyway. You lived with us all of our happiness and sadness. Christmas will be always my favourite memories.  I will always remember myself knee down grilled chestnuts in your fireplace, watching my grandmother dancing around lifting her short arms and prancing hither and thither, going out and coming in. My grandfather bringing us one or two chickens or rabbits for our Christmas dinner and waiting for the rest of the family while we were singing Christmas carols.  My cheeks were always alight because of the fireplace. Joy.

Karekano [Anime]

Have you just watched the first episode?? Good Gracious! I’d die laughing if I could. It cracks me up and a real pick-me-up series. Do you need some time for recharging batteries? Oh, Gosh, this series is absolutely for you. I adore the first eight episodes.

In my dreams [Movie]

Have you ever stayed in front of any fountain and threw a coin waiting for your wish comes true?

What did you wish for? Did you wish for love?

If you did it, have you found someone new wandering in your dreams? Have you dreamt about someone you’ve never met before? Does is that person appearing in your dreams for seven nights in a row? No? Well, maybe you didn’t found the special fountain.

 

The right question.

I was working with a low salary. Five hours daily. Six days a week. We couldn’t have savings.

We lived in a small house which had another floor up it was unusable owing to the fact that this house wasn’t ours and because the house was falling apart. Winters were a horrible nightmare, we had leaks and every time it was raining we felt like the water was like big hammers falling down threating us on the weak roof of the house. We couldn’t fall asleep, our hearts pounded very fast with every thud on the second floor.

One year later after we moved into that weakly-built house, my husband got cancer so in the midst of tears, painful days, dreads and without knowing what will happen next day...

The prayer that I kept saying was: 

Jesus, can you change these things?

Can you stop this cancer?

Will you still hold up this house?

Will I still have food in my fridge tomorrow?

Can you stop this storm?

But somehow I found out that sometimes the best question is not, "Jesus, can you change these things around me?"  but instead God, can you change me so that I can handle these things that you made me walk through?

And I believe in these words and I know that He is changing me and that is making all the differences. 

A bone to pick (Aurora Teagarden)

Someone that you barely know gives you a mystery book about a crime made by a woman. Next day you found that person died and you discovered that that old woman was murder and leaves a big secret behind her. You don’t have another better thing to do than try to solve it by yourself. 

Theory on the Biblical Plagues

Well, here it goes a very easy explanation about how the 10 
plagues occurred. It seems that events were caused by a volcano that erupted on the Greek island of Santorini in the 16th century B.C. I’m afraid, guys that if that would be true, the eruption occurred considerably before the exodus event.  I’m not the one who is telling you that, there’re papers and works behind this. I can't let this theory sail wherever and whenever in my life, I can't swallow it without chewing it and I have to analyze the theory in the light of those facts. Bible is my light.

Little Women 2017 [BBC]

Dramatization of Louisa May Alcott's novel about the lives of the four March sisters during the American Civil War as they learn to navigate love, loss and the trials of growing up. Again?

Angry

I have been told that “Don’t let anger control you” and “Don’t sin by letting anger control you” Gosh… it’s a difficult matter, indeed. “Don’t let the sun go down while you are still angry” 

I believe, indeed, in those words because it encourages my life and I want to embrace them, take them tightly. I want to believe with all my heart because I don’t want to go on in this day feeding and harbouring that rotten feeling anymore.

When I feel that rotter water flowing inside me, flooding, it may blind me and it cannot let me see the love again. Angry wraps me as if I want to live with that.

Angry leads you just in one way and that way is destruction. 

I have to pray, knee down and calm down. Angry doesn't let you think clearly. 

The Stolen Princess

I don’t know how many of you are used to watch movies from America, but today I saw something different, as for me, I watch too many kinds of movies from too many different countries, but just for those who want to watch something different, too out of America and its nowadays messages incrusted in our minds, I dare to invite you to watch this an animated movie from Ukraine: The stolen princess

I want to be… different?

You will hear too many people saying that they want to be different from anyone else or maybe that they like being different and there you are, being different with hilarious thoughts like a thousand people in the world…

 

The lion, the witch and the wardrobe ~Narnia #1

How many of you didn’t dream about other worlds beyond ours? Maybe because you wanted to find a shelter since you were so tired with your own problems constantly pursuing you; maybe because you are just tired or bored. Lucy found one while she was playing seek-and-hide. What happens in this story is an act of love, is about being strong and determinated. You will have to decide which side want to take and fight for it even when you regret it later.

Beautiful Ghong Shim. (미녀 공심이; 야수의 미녀)

From time to time when I find myself tired of searching Americans or English series for watching I usually end on Viki watching any k-drama. It seems that these Koreans are the only persons in the world able of making my day. I find out that those boring days are pay off when I open Viki. This time? Beautiful Ghong Shim.

Eat, play, love {Hallmark movies}

I feel a bit nervous.
I made my exercises
I found out a new songs for my mp3
I finished with all my series.
Reading: Winter {Marissa Meyer}

Carly Monroe is not the most beautiful woman you would have ever known, overall if she is beside Kristi Waters, the stunning Dan's girlfriend. They seem like oil and water since Kristi hates animals and Dan loves them, in fact, he's the dog man and he has a shelter for all of them. So, is not difficult to imagine how the movie will work out. Oh yes, you are right, Carly will fight with her inner weapon against the shinning from Kristi.

And you know the pattern already, these Hallmark movies are frankly the same one after another. But we can discuss too many other things about the movie.

Carly and Dan cannot get together, obviously, unless someone like his sister has to meddle between them and this sister will have a little work ahead preparing fakes fates and such. However, everything leads them wrong and nothing is as it should and when Carly thinks she is getting closer to Dan, Kristi appears and brings him a better card and everything seems lost. So now, what should happen next? Dan has a stunning girlfriend and it seems he is really getting along with his old friend Carly.

Well, it appears that the better choice is to take a seat and eats ice cream (like they always do when the plan backfired) and think, think so hard about what Carly and Michelle (Dan's sister) should do first.

On the other hand, far away from Carly and Dan, the first plot of the movie is about  two old persons, an old woman and an old man who want the same dog, and it seems that by chance, they are always in the shelter at the same time to take the same dog, so they take the dog for a walk together, the three of them. The next thing is they are getting along... Another romantic history?

And that's is all! See you guys!

Stupidity is contagious.

Proverbs 6: 17-19 talks to us about how Salomon describes seven things which we have to be careful because if you spent too many time with people with these characteristics, you could be like them. Salomon was the wisest man on earth and I believe what he has to say for his knowledge comes from God and no one is wiser than God.

 Do not be deceived: “Evil company corrupts good habits.”

1 Corinthians 15:33

I'm not a robot (로봇이 아니야 )

Everything begins with a wish and Kim Min Kyu just wanted to be with someone but not any person, AG-3 is special, it just doesn't what it seems although Kim Min Kyu doesn't know. Do you want to tell him? 

#7: Love yourself more than all things (Hidden Lies)

You have to be careful about what you share on the internet. I'm talking about those pictures with a sentence inside them because you never know what kind of effect they will have on people. Let's talk about this when you take it in an extreme way, but be careful, there's a very fine line that you might cross and don't realize that you did it because who doesn't like loving yourself? Who?

My diary. My best friend.

I see myself back in time, exactly, twenty years ago and see a weak, retiring, and lonely girl, without friends, without a great personality. Let’s call I was like a ghost. We could have a family party and nobody would see me or talk to me until the adult conversation fainted away, then the people around the table looking for something else to speak found me over there, still, quiet. "Oh, dear. You are so quiet, how are you? How are your days going to the school?"

#6: I don't have time (Hidden Lies)

Nowadays we are surrounded by anything we want and for very attractive things, spending time into the things we like is a quite difficult challenge and our preferences are fighting each other to reach the top. But, there’s one truth and one truth only. Since the very moment you get out of your bed you have illimitable choices ahead of you and when the day comes to end, you won’t can to regret anything as you realized that you did exactly whatever you wanted. 

Being hurt...

It’s a very difficult task to think of forgiveness when someone hurt you. It's hard to ignore that feeling, otherwise, everyone could deal with it easily. But owing our nature, we have long and hard work to do ahead. It's time to test your heart and see what is wrong with it. 

#5: There're miraculous food (Hidden Lies)

People are getting worried for they are getting fat faster and faster and they don’t even know why, nevertheless they’re some who know what’s going on in their lives, but they prefer to cover their eyes and keep on with their food. They’re people utterly despair on a diet trying everything around them, testing one and another but they always fail because they end up getting fat again, and sometimes they do that worse. I’ll tell you a secret. For losing weight you don’t need to eat less, you need to eat better. 

The man who invented Christmas (2017)

It was really a surprise, a beautiful surprise. I have to admit that I don’t like these contemporary movies, I’m sorry but I would like to go to the cinema and enjoy but I can’t. I can’t bare those digital effects every minute without necessity, explosions and battles for more than 30 minutes. I note the difference how the plot is weaker than ever and certainly they bored me. So! The least I was expecting yesterday when I made my mind up to watch The man who invented Christmas was that it would be amazing. Certainly, I didn’t expect that. But it was like this and I am very grateful.

Good Witch {Season #3}

 

Hercules Poirot's Christmas (1938)

I get a bit of boring when Agatha’s books start without Poirot at the beginning, just because I’m so excited about meeting him I have to wait. When I take a book of Agatha and I know that Poirot is not in there I don’t care and keep on my lecture, but when I know he’s in there I want to start my reading with him, so this is not the case.  

Well, I should have read this book on Christmas, but I had another book between hands and I couldn’t.  Now is my time, Christmas or not here I am for writing my opinion. I’d like to write here all Agatha’s books but I prefer to choose those which touched me and Hercules Poirot’s Christmas was one of them. 

#4: If everyone does, do it. (Hidden Lies)

That’s the point. Did it ever occur to you that maybe, just maybe, what everyone does is nonsense? Did it ever occur to you that what everyone does is wrong? Or maybe you don’t like it? Or years ago you enjoyed that but you don’t enjoy it anymore? Did it ever occur to you that you should probably stop and think about what are you doing? What are you thinking about it? 

Bad Date Chronicles {Hallmark}

 I feel my strength renovated.
 I know He's always listening to our prayers.
 It's time to be thankful
 Listening: Back to God {Reba McEntire}
 Watching: Gilmore Girls 1 season.

Leigh, from Richard records, has a date with Conner from Peter's post, the rivalry. That date was a complete disaster, so Leigh after that write it down on her blog "Bad dates chronicles" from her work in Richard Records. Leigh wrote her side of the misadventure and it seems it was totally wrong because of Conner, the accused has good excuses. However, the bosses from both are so happy because their digital magazine had tons of views and they arrange that their employees have three more dates while behind Leigh and Conner they arrange a wager and determinate who win the worst date.

To be honest, to the beginning the movie touch me because I feel It was going to be different and it was. Here, we have three different kinds of relationship, yes, you read well, three.

The first is our principal characters, Leigh and Conner who are set up for their bosses to have dates because their dates are a total disaster and that is good, because Leigh and Conner have their own blogs on work where they write about their disaster dates with each other and the people like them so, their bosses earn too much money.

The second relationship is those bosses. Alison has her own company and in it, she was Peter's boss. One day Peter stole an idea from Alison and built his own company, now they are enemies, but since the circumstances, they seem like something good how their own employees have a complete disaster on their dates and arrange different ways to sabotage these dates and earn visits in their online magazines.

The third relationship is about Eerin and her nameless love on chat. Someone is chatting with her and they two get along so well, but one day he will want a meet.

And that's all. It was pretty good.

#3: Pride (Hidden Lies)

Welcome to these Hidden Lies we have swallowed once. I invite you to take a look at the introduction where you will see a bit better how the human being works inside his heart clicking here Hidden Lies.

Where is the pride leading you? Have you asked yourself anytime? Was it the pride that ended your marriage?  Was it the pride which didn’t let you come back home?  Was it the pride which didn’t let you say “I’m sorry” about time? Is it your pride that doesn’t let you see your faults? Is the pride that is separated you from your husband? Are you letting those things happen when you are the only one can fix them? Only you can change those situations if you take your pride and put it aside.
