WATCHA DOIN?? 

Her: Watcha doin?

Him: nothing much.

 Her: wanna go out and play?

Him: sure. where? 

Her: I know a place ^^ 

What would you like to do when you're going out? 

Here, going out doesn't mean the date, but the actual action of "going out somewhere"

There are many preferences such as 

the park, 

the movie theatre,

 the playground (if you are the appropriate age),

But... would you like to do something else? 

Perhaps visiting memorials, 

participating in public events, 

and things that you normally would't do could be a choice!!

I'M THE NEXT HARRY POTTER

-- Harry Potter-- 

The nostalgic sounds of four familiar syllables rolling from our tongues. 

Potter Potter Harry Potter Potter Potter Harry Potter. 

Well who has imagined themselves attending Hogwarts, spending classes learning magic spells and wicked potions drinking butter beer alongside giants with big wits. 

I have. 

There was just so much I wanted to do in Harry' world, if someone asked me to abandon my own life to join Harry's I would've gladly done so.

Well that was just when I was in the moment. 

However, no worries. Don't mourn because Harry Potter's gone. 

He's still alive, living among us.

Most of all, do not fret for the disappearance of the magical land we were so engrossed with.

Its coming alive!! To you!!

In the U.K., the Harry Potter casting crew has opened an opportunity for Harry-Potter-upsessed-fans to go visit their magical site! 

Potions and magic wands are an of course, you may also taste your first butter beer and walk around the same streets Harry Potter and his friends have! 

I can't wait to go.

Hold on. 

I'll find the link for the visiting site in my next blog.

Just you all wait!! 

Hello Friends. Can't wait to see you!

http://hollywoodjesus.com/movie/harry_potter/15.jpg

Friends and what they are for:

Why do you have friends? 

Friendship is all about loyalty, friendship can be a touching poignant relationship that is bonded even stronger than love that jerks up your tears and... 

Yeah, yeah, we get the story.

But what can we do with friends? 

Fun stuff?

Define it.

What's fun for you?

.....

What do you do?

Picnic

Picnic. Does the word point out some other stuff?

Such as... baskets, picnic blankets, lovers, family, under the tree? 

Wait hold on. Under the trees? 

Does it have to be under the tree??

Well it sure helps to find a picnic spot which provides you a haven from the sun. 

But it doesn't quite mean your picnic spot must be somewhere shady. 

Your picnic spot can definitely be anywhere. Anywhere. 

On the beach, in the park, could even be on the pavement. 

Shall we take a look at an assortment of picnic places people may pick?

A nice picnic in the park with the basket and a handy ball :)

Oooh! A picnic with yo friends!! Of course the barbecue sausage included!

See. I told you its a real variety of places. 

Hmmm...I'm starting to think that picnic isn't all about the location.

Its also about the right choice of food!!

Germany

Although I've never been to Europe, I've always wanted to make a visit sometime. 

This summer, our family was planning to make a trip to Europe, but it didn't quite work out so we now have to remain home.

It is definitely most unfortunate since I've already planned which countries I'd like to make a visit to, and what places or towns I wanted to go to. They're all going to trash, until I graduate :(

However, you blog readers may have the opportunity to make a visit before I do, or maybe you already have made a trip to Europe. 

Well, for those who thrive to go, here are the images.

For those who have already spent your holiday there, here are the images, reminisce your great weeks in Europe ^^

Climbing the mountains

With the help of other bloggers, I've discovered some of the best mountains in China! 

China has a lot of things to do, places to visit. 

However, its all the cities that people tend to visit. Not the mountains. 

Climbing mountains could do good on you. 

You may want to give it a try! 

Too tired? Well you are tired when you lay in bed all day, its best to be a little active

...

and find yourself in the most amazing places you could ever imagine yourself to be in. 

I doubt traveling will be too troublesome for you.

Breathing in fresh air could do you some change ^^ 

Here are the list of top #5 mountains in China. 

Look forward to it. 

They're beautiful.

Universities Tours

Wow. I'm not quite at the age of deciding a college....

BUT

its always good to think ahead

AND 

decide which one you'd like to go

it always helps to decide on something and work towards it.

you'll feel motivated when you choose one

I'm not so informed about the specifics of each university

But it definitely does help with pictures, at least it sparks your interest.

Here are some I'd really love to go to <3

The Book Thief

Averting from my now common topic, I introduce the book *drum rolls please*

The Book Thief

An amazing book with a medal, international best seller, popular and inspiring book. This book by Markus Zusack has received many complements and reviews. 

It indeed is the most satisfying book you could look for.

I'll write the summary of this book for next time. 

For now, I'd like to leave just one comment saying:

PLEASE TAKE THIS BOOK WITH YOU ON THE PLANE WHEN YOU TRAVEL. 

AN INSPIRING, CHANGING PERSPECTIVE TYPE OF BOOK. 

PLEASE PICK IT UP <3

The Traveller's Guide

I just thought about backpack traveling.

We've discussed about road traveling, motor home etc. but we have never discussed yet about backpack traveling.

Usually college students take the opportunity to backpack travel in many countries, most popularly picked Europe.

Young, lively, and active people are not the only ones who backpack travel.

Old? Of course you'll be physically more tired than youngsters, but being old shouldn't stop you from trying out different things!!

Kenya

Have you been to the African continent before? It seems many people have been to many different continents around the world, but not Africa. 

Why? Ask yourself why you haven't been to Africa yet. Questions yourself, when will I decide to go? 

Well, don't hold back too long. Africa is a thrilling place to be, and I wouldn't miss my chance in visiting such a beautiful continent. A continent that manifests its preserved environment. 

Well here are some choices of what you can do:

What are the things you'll need on a trip?

Yes... I'm not going to start mentioning the "basic" utensils you'll need for your travel. 

The luggage, some clothes, yeah yeah, and the toothbrush and toothpaste!! 

These are really basic stuff, so let's move away from this.

One of the things I like to carry is a journal. 

Those of you who dislike writing, its okay. 

Nobody is interested in what you write, so it's fine to be creative and doodle instead of writing. 

Expressing yourself through writing at least a little during an inspirational moment while traveling is a very significant thing. 

It may sound trivial, but NO... it is important.

It is definitely tiresome to record every single detail in your journal, but when you take a peek at it later in time, you'll be amazed at the things you've done, places you've visited, and things you've felt that you have forgotten over time.

Hit that pedal... we're going on a Road Trip!

Here's the perfect way to introduce what Road Trip is about: 

A bike: 

A person on the bike:

A road:

A person on the bike on the road: 

Now here's what a road trip might be like: 

HEY BUT WAIT..... ROAD TRIP ISN'T ALL ABOUT RIDING THE BIKE AROUND

It is completely up to you what "type" of transportation you use! 

.....

..........

...............

..........

.....

Have I gone on a road trip? YES! 

I've gone on a motorhome (a moving house-like vehicle) to travel around in areas in Korea. 

Road trips are taken everywhere. 

Sightseeing, reserving in hotels are important part of the travelling course, 

HOWEVER it is also important for you to choose your destination and travel by your choice :)

Take a picture with sheep and goats?

New Zealand, the most ideal country for sheep and goats. 

Green meadows, wooden fences surrounding flocks of white sheep. 

A green sky filled with fluffy bundles of white clouds. 

Yes! New Zealand is quite small, and quite isolated from a lot of countries. I've heard of many who visited Australia, but not as many visited New Zealand before. 

I haven't personally been there yet, but I've heard how amazing it is there. 

Unlike islands, such as the Maldives and Guam (that I've mentioned in my previous blogs), it is a relaxing place to be. Except the idea of "relaxing" is quite different from beaches, tanning, and coconut drinks. 

Farms, green meadow, valleys, and the city itself! 

So many cultural things to experience, and so many unique differences you can spot! 

I highly encourage a visit to New Zealand! 

Here are some touring sites that may guide you to the right place for you! 

p.s. a lot of mountains by the way!!
