// Monthly Favorites// November 2015



   November was a jam-packed month for me. I didn't get to do as much reading as I would 've liked; because of that I only posted one book review this month.  I'm planning on reading a lot during Christmas break, so be on the look out for reviews in the future.


Without any further ado , here are some of my favorite things from the month of November.




                             // Movies & TV Shows//








// Once Upon a Time season 5//






My @OnceABC S4 Finale poster #TrueLove #SaveASaviour @jenmorrisonlive @colinodonoghue1 @LanaParrilla @sean_m_maguire:   Once Upon a Time Season 5 Poster Marries Evils Old and New:




There's been several plot-twists this season that is taking OUAT to new places. The Mid-season finale aired last night ( which I haven't seen, by the way).I 'm interested to see how this season will wrap up in the spring.






// The Hunger Games : Mockingjay -Part Two//






panchecco:    The Hunger Games - Mockingjay Part 2     Mockingjay Part 2:   New Mockingjay Part 2 poster + tickets on sale October 1st:




 MockingJay: part 2 was emotional and sad.  It was also a wonderfully made film and a great end to the Hunger Games films. I hope to re-watch the other films in this series soon.










// The Heirs//






The Heirs:            Kim Woo Bin, Lee Min Ho and Park Shin Hye ♡ #Kdrama - “HEIRS" / "THE INHERITORS" //:




This K-Drama stars some of Korea's most popular and talented actors. Because of that, it's a high quality drama with a good storyline. If you're new to K-Dramas and are looking for a emotional and romantic show , give this one a watch.








                                         // Music//




// The Voyage , by Amanda Cook //




Amanda Cook quote from The Voyage http://international-care.com/articles/what-if/:   "What you make of this moment changes everything." // The Voyage // Amanda Cook // Brave New World http://bit.ly/BNWalbum:




This song is a great reminder that God will faithfully guide you as you do His will.




// Luhan's music//




Luhan is a former member of the kpop group , EXO. He recently started his own solo career in China.  Luhan's songs , Promises and Medals, are  beautiful. They also have thought - provoking music videos, as well.






                                 
                                // Miscellaneous//




Psalm 63




Psalm 63:1:   Psalm 63:3-4, “Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you. I will praise you as long as I live...:


I was skimming through my Bible a few a weeks ago when I stopped at this Psalm. It's a wonderful description of our desire to be closer to God and how to rest in His presence.

Monthly Favorites // October 2015 //



Yet another month is ending. The holidays are fast approaching, along with the close of 2015.
Anyhow, here are a few things I've enjoyed in the month of October.




      


                                     //Music//




//  Pieces by Amanda Cook  //


"You don't give Your heart in pieces." // Pieces // Amanda Cook #BraveNewWorld http://bit.ly/BNWPreOrder:         Amanda Cook 'Pieces':




I listened to Amanda Cook's music for the first time recently. Her songs are just lovely, especially 'Pieces'.








// Kpop//




My friends and I made a Kpop Fan meme XD~ <3 #kpop #fangirl #kpopfan #kpopmeme:


I started listening to a few select kpop songs a few months ago. This month I've been branching out and listening to bands and singers that are new to me. A few of my favorite artists are CNBlue , Got7 , IU, and EXO.






 




                               // Movies and Tv Shows//






// The Avengers : Age of Ultron//


The official Avengers: Age of Ultron poster is here, and I have some questions.:     The Team Assembles In HQ Textless AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON Empire Cover:



There is something about Marvel movies that keep us fans coming back again and again. This movie was no exception.
In my opinion this sequel was even better than the original. I'm eager to see what movies Marvel comes out with next.





// Faith : The Great Doctor //






Lee MinHo's Faith official Poster along with other leading casts:  Lee Min Ho and Kim Hee Sun heal each other’s pain with love on Faith:


                                                 



        





I started this  K-Drama a couple of months ago, but due to my busy semester , I just finished it this month. It's a historical drama , with elements of fantasy,  which makes it's unique.  Definitely a must watch for K-Drama fans.

// Sesame seed sticks //
This snack, which is found at health food stores, is so delicious. It tastes like something in between chips and French fries. 
FIY, they taste really good with swiss cheese spread.

// Monthly Favorites // Septemeber 2015





Another month is nearly gone.  I only posted twice on my blog this month, sadly. I started school in August and with school comes homework.  Because of that, I also only read one book this month.
I do have some plans for my blog next month. I want post reviews,  discussions, and other book-related stuff on a somewhat regular basis.


Now to the things I've enjoyed in the month of September.






// K-Drama Webseries //


These shows have 12-18 episodes that are only around 15 minutes each.  I really like watching these types of shows when I don't have time to watch a normal hour-long episode of a tv show.


Exo Next Door and To Be Continued are both so adorable and fun. I hope to find more webseries like these two.




  [STARCAST] The way to fully enjoy EXO’s drama 'EXO next door’:        See Kim Sae Ron and new K-pop group Astro in To Be Continued on DramaFever!:










// Doctor Who season 8 //






New image of The Doctor and Clara from Doctor Who season 8 premiere episode ‘Deep Breath’. Watch the premiere this Saturday, August 23rd at 8/7c on BBC America!:         "Doctor Who" season 8 premiere.  Planing on going to go see this!!(((::






Netflix recently added season 8, much to the excitement of my family and I. I was, however, skeptical of Peter Capaldi's portrayal of the Doctor when I first started this series. By the end though I started to warm up to him. The Doctor and Clara had many dramatic things happen to them at the end, so this season ended in a bit of a cliffhanger. I'm looking forward to season 9 's release.






//  She Reads Truth App//


She Reads Truth is an online site geared towards women which provides reading plans and devotionals. You can sign up for emails or even use the app. They also have a great guide to read through the Bible in 365 days!:


This free app has The Bible in it and allows you to add notes, highlight, and bookmark verses. Plus, it also comes with free, beautiful lockscreens for iphones.








// DramaFever App//


Download DramaFever's App - Free!:




This app, which is very similar to Hulu,  has a lot of Asian tv shows ( I watch k-dramas on it). The app and a account are free. If you want to watch new episodes and have no commercials you get a premium account, which is a few dollars a month. I just use the free services, and it works great for me.






// Hi- Chew candy //


Morinaga Hi Chew Candy, Tropical Mix, 3.53 Ounce (Pack of 6) It's like a cross betwen a gummy bear and starburst. It starts off chewing like a gummy bear and then swallows like a starburst, but not as sweet as one. The flavors are "Juicy" and not overly sweet. I've always enjoyed Hi-chews, but I'd never tried the tropical varieties, so I blind bought a box of these. And, I'm glad I did because I absolutely love them.:


These delicious candies actually taste like whatever fruit flavor they are. I want to try out the other flavors really soon.

//Monthly Favorites// August 2015





It's time again for monthly favorites. August was a jam-packed month for me, so I didn't have as much time to check out new stuff as I normally do. Below are just a few things I really liked this month.








    






// The Secret (2007) movie//






YESASIA: Secret (DVD) (Malaysia Version) DVD - Jay Chou, Alice Tzeng, PMP Entertainment (M) SDN. BHD. - Taiwan Movies & Videos - Free Shippi...           Secret - Jay Chou




This movie is absolutely beautiful! It has wonderful camera work, an intriguing storyline, and a gorgeous piano soundtrack.






// Time Travel piano song from Secret (2007)//


Time Travel is brilliant song from the movie above. It's hard to believe how fast this song is played.
I have the sheet music to this. I'm making progress on it, but I don't think I will ever be able to play it that well and that fast. One can dream, right?






// Photograph by Ed Sheeran//






Loving can hurt, loving can hurt sometimes<br>But it's the only thing that I know<br>When it gets hard, you know it can get hard sometimes<br>It is the only thing that makes us feel alive - Ed Sheeran-Photograph | Salma made this with Spoken.ly




There's something about this lovely acoustic song that gives me warm and wishful feelings. I never get tired of listening to it, which means it's now one of my favorite songs.








// Makeup: Your life guide to beauty, style, and success-online and off, by Michelle Phan//




13 Books to Read If You Want to Work in the Beauty Industry | Beauty High




While browsing for books at my local library I came across this book. Michelle Phan, an extremely famous youtuber, has amazing beauty tutorials on her youtube channel. I really like her Natural Parisian Look ; it's so simple, yet elegant.
This book contains easy makeup and fashion tips and discusses success and the business world.
(Disclaimer: Michelle Phan's views on success and life aren't from a Christian perspective, so I don't agree with every thing she says in the book).
