Top 10 Best Christmas Songs

    Eeeyyyy there Jingles, long time no see.

    Ah, it's that time of the year again... fricking winter freezing my ass of. Oh yeah, and it's the holiday season. That's pretty dope too. So... Happy whatever you celebrate and if you don't celebrate anything... then happy day!

    I was thinking about what festive post to write and the first thing that popped into my head were Christmas songs. I mean, come on, who doesn't like a good Christmas song next to the fire? Although, not everyone has a fire, I don't, but you can just imagine one and yea enough of the blabbering. I present to you my list of the top BEST Christmas song ever. (well to me at least)

    #10 Wham! - Last Christmas

    #9 Mariah Carey - All I Want For Christmas Is You

    #8 Dean Martin - Let It Snow

    #7 Nat King Cole - The Christmas Song

   

    #6 Bobby Helms - Jingle Bell Rock

    #5 Do They Know It's Christmas - Band Aid 1984

    #4 Wizzard - I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday

    #3 Eartha Kitt - Santa Baby

    #2 Silent Night

    #1 The Pogues Featuring Kirsty MacColl - Fairytale Of  New York

    Just so you know, I didn't put them in any particular way. I just listed them as they came to mind soooo yeaahh. Although Fairytale Of New York is my favourite so you could say that one was in first place on purpose. 

    Now that I got that out of the way, (nobody even cares but whatever) I hope you enjoyed this little list I made. Again, happy holidays, and I hope you have a nice day/night. Byyyeee!

Things I Can't Live Without

 

    Things we can't live without. There's a lot of them. Some are small, some are big, it does not mater. Some we can all relate with, some not. Today I decided to provide you with a list of things "I" can't live without. So here you go.

    #1 Water
    #2 Oxygen
    #3 Sunlight
    #4 Earth
    #5 Food
    #6 Plants
    #7 Animals
    #8 People
    #9 Love (bit cheesy, but true)
    #10 Happiness (again, cheesy, but true)
    #11 Hope
    #12 Imagination...

    Ok, I'll stop now with the obvious.
    Now let's move on to the actual list of my personal things I can't live without:

My camera sucks, sorry.

    #1 My pupper, my little biscuit that I love so very very much and will continue to love him till the end of all time. Yeah, he's my little snuffskin and other nonexistent words. His name is Cupko and if anyone dares to make fun of him I will slit your throat. Yay.

    #2 Books, books and more books. I just can't get enough of them. I could spend a whole day reading just books and not doing anything else. Screw eating and sleeping, I just wanna read books forever. Am I over exaggerating?
 

    #3 Nature. Or as me and my friend call it, the wild. I'm lucky to be living in a village surrounded by nature. I guess I just love exploring the forests, fields and rivers even and nobody's going to take that away from me.


    #4 Music. Of course this is on the list. I mean, come on, who doesn't like music? Think about it, everyone listens to some kind of music, even if it's just an endless loop of ticking. That's still something...right? Either way, I adore music and my life would probably be very empty without it.


    #5 Movies, TV shows. Yeah, they probably changed my life. Now that I think about it, I would have been a totally different person if I continued to be completely oblivious about all the amazing movies and TV shows out there. Luckily, I set my head strait (if that makes sense) and I am now totally obsessed with anything I see. Great.


    #6 The internet. As much as I would like to say that I would be fine without it, I wouldn't. I mean, if I didn't have internet how would I watch the movies and TV shows? How would I go on the social media? I wouldn't be able to have this blog if it wasn't for the internet. So let's face it, my life would suck without you, buddy. How did people live without the internet earlier? Well, these movies and social medias didn't even exist then, so they didn't have to worry about missing out on something, right? So, yeah. the internet is making our lives much easier.

    Ok, so I could go on and on with these things, but I think this is the right place to end it. I hope you enjoyed this post and have a nice day. Byyyeee!








      

Some "Inspirational" Quotes

    Hullo there. Today I'm in a mood for some ...hm... "inspirational" quotes. Okay so maybe not that inspirational. Actually, they're all meant to be funny and some maybe a tiny bit mean but don't take it personally, it's all just for giggles, nobody's actually trowing insults around!
    So without further ado, here you go, some "inspirational" quotes.

 

Anyone get the reference?

So, that's all for this post. I know I went a little overboard with the pictures, but trust me I would have put a lot more in there but everyone would just get tired of scrolling, amirite? I also know that this is one of my lazier works, but I'm taking a chill day today, so please forgive me. I hope I made some of you laugh, that was literally my only goal for this post. Have a nice day. Byyyeee!

Top 5 Places I am Dying to Visit

    Hullo again. Been a while, hasn't it? I was lazy, nothing more. Glad to be back again!

    Anyway, today I wanted to talk about the places I'm most eager to visit. There's quite a number of them, but I'll try to single out only a few. So if you would excuse me, I'll get on with it.

    I think that a lot of us can agree on the fact that traveling is kinda awesome, though some people have a different point of view on the subject but that is perfectly fine. I, for one, find traveling very appealing and hope to do a lot of it in the future. The only thing is I'm kinda terrified of flying but that is not the point of this post so let's get on to my list of places I am dying to visit.

    Number 5) Madagascar

    I'm not quite sure what draws me towards this island, off the coast of Southeast Africa. Maybe it's the large array of different animal species, only known to inhabit this unique island (for example, the famous lemur), or it could be the beautiful rainforests, fields, beaches, reefs and more. I just know that the place is just calling my name. I'll be there soon, don't worry.

    Number 4) Ireland

    Now, I think I'm pretty sure why I want to visit this island. It's just, all the nature there looks amazing and I want to experience it all for myself. Plus, I love their culture, tradition and don't even get me started on how awesome their accent is. I mean yeah, it's always rainy and gloomy, but that's not going to stop me from enjoying my time there. I guess I have a thing for islands haha.

    Number 3) Paris

    Ah Paris, the city of love, the city of light. But of course, I don't give a crap about love (although light is not that bad), I just find Paris as a very cool place to visit. I mean, the Eiffel tower is tall, the Arc of Triumph is quite large and the Louvre museum is a triangle, what's not to love there, huh? But the reason I want to visit Paris so very much is probably because of my mum. She's been talking about Paris and how beautiful it is since I've known for myself, so over the years I've started to think the same. And here I am today, hoping that I'll get there one day.

    Number 2) Los Angeles

    Okay, let's be real, who doesn't want to go to LA? I mean it is where it all happens, right? Wouldn't you like to see Hollywood for yourself? Or see all the stars and handprints on the Walk of Fame? It's the center of film and television industry, sounds pretty dope, eh? And not just that, there is thousands of other awesome stuff there, why not love it?

    Number 1) Tokyo

    And finally, the place I am most eager to visit is non other than the capital of Japan-Tokyo. Of course it's on another island, what'd you expect? All those flashing lights and signs, they're pretty cool. I just love the home of all manga and anime, all those weird Japanese candy, I want to try it all! Okay, maybe not all. I'm just imagining all those game stores, I would get lost there. And of course their culture is quite interesting to see. I could go on and on with reasons why Tokyo is on the top of my list, but I think that what I provided here is enough, I just love it.

    So, that's my list of top 5 places I'm dying to visit. I hope I share my dreams with someone else out there, it's always nice to find someone like me. I hope you enjoyed this very delayed post (sorry about that) and I wish you a happy rest of your day. Byyyeee! 

Tolkien's Universe

    Hello again readers! Sorry I haven't posted in a while I literally have no excuse for that. I bet you thought I was gonna say "I haven't had time because of school" but nope... I'm just lazy.
    Either way, I'm here now so let's get into this post!
    Today I decided to talk about a writer and his works that completely changed my childhood. I would probably be a whole different person without his work. As you most likely already read by the title, that writer is J. R. R. Tolkien and if you haven't heard of him, he is the author of The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit. And if you haven't heard of these very popular books and movies, then I'm sorry, go back to your home planet.

    So first of all, let me say a few words about Tolkien or better yet, John Ronald Reuel Tolkien. He was born way back in 1892 on the third of January in Bloemfontein in the Orange Free State (today's South Africa) and died on the second of September 1973 (age 81). Tolkien's first popular book was The Hobbit, at first written for his children, but thanks to an employee of the London publishing firm the book came to light in 1936. It attracted not only children, but adults too, so after a year it became popular enough for a sequel.

    The sequel of course was The Lord of the Rings that was published in three volumes 1954-1955. He intended it to also be a children's book, much like The Hobbit, but as he got deeper into the story it got much more darker and serious, so when it came out, it was addressed for an older audience.

    Now, if you had come from a different planet, welcome! Do you like it here on Earth? Yeah? You're a weirdo. Let me tell you a little about Tolkien's works. So The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit are set in a world, called the Middle-Earth, created by Tolkien himself. It is a world filled with all kinds of creatures that roamed all kinds of lands. It had Elfs and Dwarfs, Wizards and Men, Orcs, Dragons, Ents, Hobbits of course and a lot more. Hundreds of different kingdoms, ruled by different kings, with different cultures and languages. Tolkien has also created whole new languages, the Elvish languages and drew maps of his world completely from scratch. Impressive, huh?

    Have you noticed how enthusiastic I was while Talking about Tolkien's universe? Well it will always hold a special place in my heart. Warning: If you insult his work in front of me, I swear, I will smash your head open and trow your brain out and proceed to be astonished by how small it actually is. Just kidding, if you don't like The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit etc. that is completely fine, that's your opinion. But you have been warned I will defend it at any time.
    Welp, if you still haven's watched The Lord of the Rings or read it, I don't know what to tell you. You're missing out a lot. Go watch it now, what else can I say? That's all from me, hope you enjoyed this post and have a nice day! See ya, byyyeee!

The Divergent Series

    Hey there, how was your first day of school? No, no, no, we ain't gonna talk about that. What we are gonna talk about is this book series that I read recently. I believe a lot of you have heard about The Divergent series of books and movies, but for those who haven't I'll give you a short explanation.

    The story is set in the dystopian future, better yet in the dystopian Chicago. The city is divided in five factions: Abnegation (the selfless), Erudite (the intelligent), Dauntless (the brave), Amity (the peaceful) and Candor (the honest).

    The story is told through a sixteen-year-old girl Beatrice Prior, better known as Tris, that starts off in Abnegation. When the time comes she must take an aptitude test that will show her which faction she is best suited for. But the thing is the test shows inconclusive results, so it indicates aptitude for three factions: Abnegation, Erudite and Dauntless. This means that she is Divergent which is apparently dangerous in the world she's living in so she has to stay cautious. On the Choosing Day Tris picks Dauntless and that's when her adventures begin.
    There are three books written by Veronica Roth and one extra, a collection of stories about Four (one of the main characters). I read all of them and trust me I bawled my eyes out crying at the end.

    As I said before there is a movie series as well. It is a science fiction film directed by Neil Burger that came out in 2014. The main characters are played by Shailene Woodley (Tris Prior) and Theo James (Tobias Eaton "Four").

    I know, I said a short explanation but I tryed my best. If  you want to experience the whole story by yourself  I recommend you read the books or at least watch the movies.
    That's all from me today, hope you liked it! Byyyeee!

What NOT to do at school

    It's that dreadful time of year again... In less than a week we're going back to that living hell that we call school. Now that I think about it, school has already began for some of you... I'm sorry about that. I mean if you actually like school then you're probably a brainiac and school is yet a thing to do so you don't get bored, so no worries. Moving on, I'm here today to tell you some things you should avoid doing at school. So here we go.

    

    Number 1) Do NOT talk back to teachers.

    If a teacher says something that is not completely correct, or says something against you, embarrass you or just straight up be mean to you or someone else in the class, the best thing to do is nothing. If you start talking back to them that just gives them a reason to punish you. So just continue sitting there and keep your mouth shut. 

    Number 2) Do NOT study with your phone next to you.

    I know this is not a thing you do at school, but studying is a major part of it. You're having a big exam tommorow, worth 25% of your grade or whatever, so you need to get your study on. But what's the problem? Why can't you focus? Oh, maybe it's because you have your fricking phone next to you!

All the texts, instagram, twitter, facebook notifications and other things are distracting you from your work ( I am guilty of this as well, oops). Don't fear, there's a simple solution for this. Just turn of the notifications. or better yet your phone! I know it's hard to put to sleep your loved one, but we all must make sacrifices.

    Number 3) Do NOT give the bully what they want.

    There's a bully in every school. That's a fact. I'm not a person who gets bullied (which is surprising actually) but I can imagine how it looks and feels. To all you out there that are getting bullied in school please don't let it get to you. They're doing it because they're probably jealous or just want to irritate you and the best thing to do is to ignore them. The thing they want the most is to get attention, pick a fight or bring you down so don't let them do that. After a while they should stop, but if they don't consider telling a teacher about them so they learn their leason.

    Number 4) Do NOT leave your homework till the last second.

    Ugh, homework. We all have it, we all hate it. But the thing you should definitely not do is to leave it for the last second. The best thing to do is to get it done first thing when you come home. But no one wants to do that so I suggest you give yourself a half-hour or so break before starting (This apllies for studying, too). If you leave it for the last second it might get somewhat stressful because you may not have enough time for it.

    Number 5) Do NOT be late to class.

    Last but not least, try not to be late to class, will ya? I know, sometimes you oversleep because you were studying all night, or you missed your bus and I get that but the teachers won't. It just gives them another reason to give you detention. Yeah they're meanies. So just set your alarm clock five minutes earlier and there won't be a problem. It happened to me before but my teachers usually don't give a damn about it, so just hope you'll be lucky too.

    So yeah, hope this helped at least a tiny bit and good luck in the upcoming school year. I'll see you in the next post. Byyyeee!

    

    

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  

LOST

    Hey there readers! Today I'm going to be talking about a TV show called Lost and don't worry there's no spoilers. So Lost is an American drama series containing elements of both the supernatural phenomena and science fiction. The story follows the survivors of the Oceanic Flight 815 that crashed 1,000 miles off course on, what seemed as a deserted, tropical island. However the island was filled with underground bunkers, a monstrous security system and a group of violent survivalists hidden in the shadows, or better known as the Others. Throughout the episodes we get to take a peek into the characters past and discover some of their most shocking secrets.

    The show was created by Jeffrey Lieber, J. J. Abrams and Damon lindelof. It aired from September 22, 2004, to May 23, 2010, with six seasons and a total of 121 episodes.

    I would say who the main characters are but the thing is, there's like ten of them, at least. But have no fear, I will go through the process of naming the ones I think are the most important! Well it's more like eight, not ten.

    So the "main" characters would be Jack Shephard, the troubled surgeon played by Matthew Fox, Kate Austen, a portrayed fugitive played by Evangeline Lilly. James "Sawyer" Ford, a con man played by Josh Holloway. Hugo "Hurley" Reyes, an unlucky lottery winner played by Jorge Garcia, the mysterious John Locke played by Terry O'Quinn. Sayid Jarrah, a former Iraqi Republican Guard played by Naveen Andrews, Sun-Hwa Kwon, daughter of a powerful Korean businessman played by Yunjin Kim and her husband Jin-Soo Kwon, played by Daniel Dae Kim.

    Okay, so I can't think of anything else to say than that I'm highly recommending this TV show, it's my favourite and I guarantee you'll enjoy it as well. Welp that's all from me. "See ya in another post, brotha!" 

    

Harry Potter and the Cursed Child

    Hello again! The first movies/books I decided to do a "review" on will be the one, the only: Harry Potter, well to be specific, the 8th installmet. I believe you all heard about them and if you haven't you're probably living under a rock tbh. So moving on, I'm a HUGE potterhead, they're one of my favourite books and movies and my heart just filled with joy when I found out there was going to be more.

    So, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is a two-part play written by Jack Thorne based on a new srory by Thorne, J.K. Rowling and John Tiffany. The official premiere was scheduled on the 30th of July 2016 at the Palace Theatre, London (of course I couldn't go since I'm stuck in Serbia ugh). I believe the book came out on the 31th of July *cough* Harry's birthday *cough*.

    I was somehow able to read the script (thanks to my bro) and I must say that it's good. Some people will say that you can tell Rowling wasn't the only one writing it but it seems fine to me. Anyway, the story follows Harry's third child Albus Severus and how he turned out to be a lot different than his father. So he decided to go of on an adventure with his friend Scorpius and a lot of cool shit happend. The End.

    Well that's all I have for you today I hope you liked my first 'review' and I guess I'll see you in my next post. Byyyeee!                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           

Hello, fellow nerds.

    Well hello there, dear reader. My name is Petra but I don't like the sound of it so just call me River (I, for some reason, love that name) and I'm from Serbia. Now that we got all those boring things out of the way let me tell you what my blog is supposed to be.

    I LOVE reading books, wathcing movies and TV shows and above all video games. So I'm gonna try to make my blog about that. The video game part is probably gonna be minimal since I have a bad computer and can't experience them for myself. But hey, that's not going to stop me from writing about them! I'll probably include some random things too so don't be surprised about that lol.

    So yeah, I'm doing all this just for some shits and giggles and we'll see what comes out of it. Wish me luck on my journey. Byyyeee!
