The Lord of the Rings Trilogy (Special Edition; BA DUM TSSS)

**I guess if you read this with a news-reporter voice, its funnier....

The Lord of the Rings trilogy. You might have heard of it, you might have not. If you have never heard of it, well, I'm going to explain it on this very post.
The Lord of the Rings is a series that consists of 3 books. The first book is The Fellowship of the Ring. The second one is The Two Towers with The Return of the King as the last book of the trilogy. J. R. R Tolkien wrote 3 of these books in 1954-1955. Incredibly, he wrote all 3 books in just approximately 1 and a half years, which for Rick Riordan, is only enough time to publish one book and start writing the next one....well...that's my theory...

In 2001, Peter Jackson made an adaption of The Fellowship of the Ring. If you don't know why I said  adaption instead of movie, its because it's probably not so accurate. But to be less complicated, people say it's a movie....well, it is a movie technically. The movie/adaption is approximately 228 minutes including the credits. And if you'd like to watch it, you can either buy a legal DVD for approximately $15, download it illegally for free or watch it on an illegal online website such as Megashare.

In 2002, Peter Jackson made an adaption of The Two Towers. This movie/adaption is a little longer than The Fellowship of the Ring by approximately 7 minutes of our precious little lives. See what I did there, BA DUM TSSS... precious. The Two Towers pretty much consists of the same actors and actresses such as Dumbledore as Gandalf...and I said THAT because Dumbledore reminds me of Gandalf. Now let's not go off "fandom". And if you'd like to know who plays Gandalf, its Ian McKellen. Search him up, and you'll see a lot of pictures of him and of Gandalf as him...or at least him as Gandalf.

In 2003, when I was born, Peter Jackson again made an adaption of The Return of the King, which is basically Aragorn aka. The Strider returns to Gondor and becomes King...well you can say it's a bit like that. The movie/adaption is approximately 251 minutes which is even more than the previous two movies combined, without the previous two movies combined. BA DUM TSS... And with all the OTPs, they all begin smooching and smooching...for example, Aragorn and Arwen and Sam(wise) and his new wife whatever her name might be.... and because I have spoilt this for you, when you watch it, prepare to shut your eyes as tight as they can close. I didn't see it on purpose, and I wouldn't because why would I stare at people kissing? Well, I saw it accidentally and my parents said CLOSE THOSE LARGE EYES OF YOURS YOU LITTLE BANANA....well it didn't go quite like that but they told me to look away and I certainly did.

You may have noticed I didn't mention Frodo in any of these statements. Well, thats because he's Elijah Wood......no no, not because of that. It's because I just didn't.

So thank you very much for reading and enjoy the rest of my blog, BYE ....

I See Fire........?

Yes, yes, the title is I See Fire when I'm actually not seeing fire right now...BUT! its not about that, its a song. Well you know The Hobbit right? The second movie, as you may have read in my previous post is called The Desolation of Smaug, well, I See Fire is a song by Ed Sheeran they used for the credits of TDoS at the end. Right now, it is my favourite song...I love the tune, I love the words....ITS AWESOME! If you want to listen to the song then click here to watch/listen to it on Youtube. But if you want to listen to it on this very blog then here it is:

I've been listening to this song heaps of times...its kinda addicting...
This song is a pretty heart-breaking song in a way...you'll understand when you listen to it carefully. Well maybe Peter Jackson wanted Ed Sheeran to write a sad song related to The Hobbit, no? 

Well anyway, thank you for reading this and enjoy the rest of my blog,

One Does Not Simply (Memes)

One does not simply is a phrase Boromir from The Lord Of The Rings said. The full sentence is ONE DOES NOT SIMPLY WALK INTO MORDOR. So people in the world have made memes on this. Right now, I am loving One Does Not Simply memes and I like making it. I have made a few memes so here they are down below. I think they're really fun to make because you can put your "hysterical side" on a meme which makes it even funnier. If you have social media, you can upload it kind of like me sharing these memes with you on a blog. 

If you are wondering how I make memes, I use a website called PiZap (click it to go on the website). It is a website you can use to edit or make collages. I use the Edit section and then start making my meme! 

So yeah...thank you so much for reading this and enjoy the rest of my blog!

The Hobbit

The Hobbit. You might have heard of it, you might have not. If you haven't heard about it, it is a book written about J. R. R. Tolkien. Even thought the books are pretty old, they're still really popular...
The Hobbit (the book) is published on the 21st of September 1937. Although you may know that there are 3 movie for The Hobbit, it is actually only one book. What's really funny about it is I saw a funny meme about The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. The Lord of The Rings has 3 books, and Peter Jackson made 3 books out of the series. But The Hobbit is only one book and Peter Jackson made 3 movies. At the bottom of the meme, there was a picture of Peter Jackson and it said "MONEY". I was laughing so hard (in my mind)! Click here if you want to see the meme! Right now, I am starting to read the book and I'm up to page 53 or something. My mum and I are having a "competition" and she's only up to page 15.... XD! She will LOSE! I just know she will :D. Anyway, the main character is a hobbit from the Shire, Bilbo Baggins "the burglar". He went on an EPIC quest with dwarves and as a hobbit, he's the burglar. Even though I haven't finished the book (I'm not even halfway, LOL) I recommend you to read it. 
The movies... even though I only read a little bit, I already found a few different things. So there are three movies. An Unexpected Journey, The Desolation of Smaug and The Battle of the Five Armies. It was SO EPIC! I watched TBotFA and I cried like 3 times because *SPOILER ALERT* Fili, Kili and Thorin died :( I was so sad. But it was a pretty good movie anyway...

Thank you guys for reading. Enjoy the rest of my blog, BYE!

What I got for Christmas 2014 + Boxing Day

First post of 2015! YAY!

As you may have read in the previous-previous post, Christmas is Coming!!, I have mentioned a few of my early Christmas presents but TODAY, I will be "announcing" what I got for Christmas!

So the early ones I have mentioned are:
-A jar of POPPING CANDY
-A scented candle
-A HTC smart-phone (I can't use it in Australia though I have to use it in Indonesia)
-A french knitting kit
-A book light (Those torch stuff you clip on the pages)
-A notebooks set
-A Friendship Bracelet kit
-The LOTR and TH book set (its gonna arrive late though)

And HEAPS of candy canes, chocolate and Christmas cards! But I think I missed something......hmmm.....



Boxing Day. You might've heard of it, you might've not heard of it. Basically, Boxing Day is a day when theres a really competitive Boxing Competition held in every district/suburb. Everyone is supporting and also betting and the winner of the Boxing Competition will compete against other districts, right? WRONG! Boxing Day is a day when prices go down and people SHOP! No kidding. I literally don't know why they call it Boxing Day but the good thing is, ITS A DAY AFTER CHRISTMAS!!! A LOT of people are really determined to buy what they want. Some people have actually "camped" on streets with shops to get what they want before the shop runs out of the person's wanted item. 
My family and I went to the DFO in the city to go shopping. We bought a few things and this is what we bought (me and my brother):

-Red and white Jordans for my brother
-Really colourful Converse for me
From this "moment" we went to Vans to get me another pair of shoes but we couldn't find the right 
size and the right shoes for me so we went back to Converse...
-Purple and aqua Converse for me
-2 Tea-riffic travel mugs from Typo for me and my brother

And I think thats all we got on Boxing Day...

Thank you for reading and enjoy the rest of my blog, BYE!

2015

Hello everybody! This post is unfortunately the last post for 2014 but good news is, I will still post more stuff in the coming year, 2015

Today is the 30th of December which is a day before New Year's Eve! I am very excited for a new year because..... well I don't really know why BUT I AM REALLY EXCITED!
This year, were gonna see the fireworks at Federation Square in Melbourne and thats all I know.......um......

What I'm NOT excited about is Indonesia (no offence). Well it is a pretty good country but I DONT WANNA LEAVE AUSTRALIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I IS SHOOOOO SHADDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!!(I is so sad)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't want to go to a new school, new church community et cetera. I will really miss my friends here but I am SO glad technology exists this century because I can contact them via email, Google+, maybe phones et cetera. Even 2 days after the last day of school, we already started a video chat....well not all of us but a few people did including me. We didn't really talk about anything. Since theres ''drawing'' on Google+ Video Call, we decorated ourselves and each other for fun.

Wanna here a story? Great! This story IS TRUE!
So last year (New Year's Ever) we were in Sydney. We went to a park or something to see the fireworks at 10 o'clock..... Guess how many hours we waited for the fireworks? Approximately 13 hours people! You fell for it! I know that you thought I came at 10 o'clock at night! So gullible! Oh LOL! It's true trust me...


Anyway! I actually CANNOT WAIT for New Year's Eve. So thank you so much for reading this and have a happy and safe New Year! 
BYE!

Christmas is Coming!!

Hey everyone! Sorry for not posting for a while but today is the 17th of December and there are 8 more days until.........CHRISTMAS!!! YAY!!! I am really excited about Christmas and I've got a few cards from some of my friends. I'm also part of a 'small Kris Kringle' with my friends and this morning, I opened m locker at school and saw a gift bag. There was a candle and a card and apparently, the card said it was from 'Santa'. Well, I don't believe in Santa Claus but anyway, thats not the point...

Anyway, I have received a few EARLY CHRISTMAS PRESENTS and heres some of them...

- Popping Candy and a Candy Cane from Tiffany
- Candle (scented) from 'Santa' (I'm suspecting it to be Sarah or Nicole)
- HTC PHONE!!!! from my aunty (well I haven't got it but my mum has it and she's gonna give it to me on Christmas)

I think that's it....... FOR NOW!

I can't wait to get presents...but! Its good to give than receive, right?
At church, my family and I are handing out MnM electronic fans for every kid/child in the Sunday School, which also has MnMs inside!

I can't wait for Christmas and I bet you can't wait, right? Well guess, what? I can't wait even more than you! (Hehehehehehe)

Son Of Neptune!

Yay! I finished THE LOST HERO!
I am really happy to get my motivation back and now I have completed The Lost Hero and is reading Son Of Neptune, the second book in the Heroes Of Olympus series. So far, it is a really good book and it's a bit better than The Lost Hero to be honest. I mean, its a lot more exciting and 'mysterious' in a way.

Right now, I am 1/4 through the book which took me almost a week I think and it's already really adventurous. Well it has been quite happy, sad, scary et cetera et cetera. I'll tell u a scary part I've read SO FAR.



WARNING!!!! THIS IS A SPOILER!!!!!!

So Camp Jupiter had this thing called the War Games and basically there are 2 teams and they fight each other and stuff and bla bla bla and then this girl called Gwen got stabbed from the back after the war games so she died for a few seconds... then she came back alive and she didn't even realise until Hazel said that she was dead. And also Frank took out the sword that was stabbed in Gwen's chest but Gwen didn't even feel a thing?!?!?!?!? Isn't that NOT creepy?


Also, the picture next to this is cover of the Son Of Neptune I'm reading... FYI, the two snake-haired ladies at the top of the book are gorgons, similar to Medusa. And the guy at the bottom is Percy Jackson... its pretty obvious guys.

Okay so yeah I highly recommend it along with the other Percy Jackson and Heroes of Olympus books, its an awesome book and I especially recommend it to readers who likes fantasy/mythology, adventure and other genres related to them.


Thank you guys for reading and I hope you enjoy the rest of my blog, BYE!
