Hello World

Hi and welcome to my page.

My name is Leigh and I'd like to introduce myself to the world of book bloggers. I want to see if I can get better at reviewing the books I read and hopefully encourage others to give it a shot too.
As you can already see I'm pretty new to this, so please be patient with me. But while I'm here I'll give a little update on what I am currently reading.

Throne of Glass by Sarah J Maas - I'm 10 chapters in and enjoying it so far. We've been introduced to the characters or at least the main ones and been given a quick overview of what's to be expected from the book. We follow a main character named Celaena as she is taken from the salt mines of Endovier to represent the Prince in a to-the-death completion. Not much else is known other than Celaena is a trained Assassin who was serving a life sentance after being caught.


Hopefully I will have more to update when I have completed this book. but for now, toodles :)

Night Watch!

Okay, So I'm not a book review kind of person, as let's be honest I'm terrible at them anyways. So here are a few books that I highly recommend. The books are by the late Author Terry Pratchett and are part of his well known Discworld series or collection. He has written over 30 novels all of which are no doubt just as amazing as the three I am about to share. The following books are from one of his mini series called 'city watch'. Although these are a series I have to admit I haven't been reading them in order, which I honestly would advise as they kind of spoil each other when read out of order.

So let's start. The order in which you should read this collection is-

Guards! Guards!
Men at Arms
Feet of clay
Jingo
The fifth elephant
Night watch
Thud!
Snuff

As you can see it's a pretty short collection. Now for the order I've read them in.

Thud!
The fifth elephant
Night watch (still reading this one :D )

Below you will see the cover images and the blurbs from the back of the books so no spoilers.

Thud! - Koom Valley? The was where the trolls ambushed the dwarfs, or the dwarfs ambushed the trolls. It was far away. It was a long time ago.

But if he doesn't solve the murder of just one dwarf, Commander Sam Times of Ankh-Morpork City Watch is going to see it fought again, right outside his office.

With his beloved Watch crumbling around him and war-drums sounding, he must unravel every clue, outwit every assassin and brave any darkness to find the solution. And darkness is following him.

Oh ... and at six o'clock every day, without fail, with no excuses, he must go home to read Where's My Cow?, with all the right farmyard noises, to his little boy.

There are some things you have to do.

The fifth elephant - They say that diplomacy is a gentle art. That mastering it is a lifetime's work. But you do need a certain inclination in that direction. It's not something you can just pick up on the job. 

A few days ago Sam Vimes was a copper. An important copper - chief of police - but still, at his core, a policeman. But today he is an ambassador - to the mysterious, fat-rich country of Uberwald. Today Sam Vimes is also a man on the run.

He has nothing but his native wit and the gloomy trousers of Uncle Vanya (don't ask). It's snowing. It's freezing. And if he can't make it through the forest to civilisation there's going to be a terrible war.

There are monsters on his trail. They're bright. They're fast. They're werewolves - and they're catching up.

Night watch - 'Don't put your trust in revolutions. They always come round again. That's why they're called revolutions. People die, and nothing changes.'

For a policeman, there can be a few things worse than a serial killer loose in your city. Except, a serial killer who targets coppers, and a city on the brink of bloody revolution.

For Commander Sam Vimes, it all feels horribly familiar. He's back in his own rough, tough past without even the clothes he was standing up in when the lightning struck. Living in the past is hard. But he must survive, because he has a job to do. He must track down the murdered and change the outcome of the rebellion. 

The problems; if he wins, he's got no wife, no child, no future . . .

Hello my twenties!

Hello!! So lately I've been trying to improve myself. I've been looking at myself properly and finding areas of my life I'd like to change.

The first thing I'm changing is hate. I recently realised that not matter how much I hate myself, hating won't change anything. So the only way to get better is to make some positive improvements. Starting with my appearance. I've always hated my weight wether I was 9 stone or 11 stone, always called fat and it made me believe it. Now I'm not going to go on any fad diets or try any slimming shakes, instead I'm going to take small steps. Step one, Eat more vegetables. I've been trying to add extra veggies into every meal I eat and I can safely say that I'm really enjoying it. Still no diet yet, but that will start eventually.  The second thing I'm changing is skincare, I recently went and bought a new set of skin care products and some new make up to hopefully help encourage me to put a bit more effort into my face. Clean skin and fresh natural make up to make me smile for me. The third thing I have changed or done, is I finally got my ears pierced a second time :) So I can now have two earrings in each ear.

The last and final thing I will be changing is the biggest. That is what I do in my spare time. Growing up I always spent time alone either just sitting on my own in my room playing on my pc/laptop or sleeping. Sleeping was something I did a lot and tbh it's probably the reason I missed out on a lot of things growing up. My own fault. But now I'm changing that. I've been planning a revamp of my bedroom which will be done soon and when it's complete I won't have a tv or pc in it. The plan is to have my bedroom be a place to relax and unwind without having too many distractions. I will have my bed, clothes and a vanity table. I may eventually put a few shelves up so I can keep some trinkets and a few of my favourite books (Thud! by Terry Pratchett - Love this book :D) to keep me sane :,D. Hopefully this will mean I spend less time in my room and encourage me to spend time with family and to go out more. As where I live there are plenty of places to go walking and lots of things to see and do provided you're not too lazy to go out and find them. 

As you can see, for the first in probably my entire blog history I'm actually being positive about myself and the future. I'm spending more time investing in my own mental health and I'd like to think that it's working. Yes, so that it for this post. hopefully I'll have more to say soon. Oh and the title of this in reference to a Korean drama I love by the same name, it's currently on Netflix, so if you're curious look it up and let me know what you think.

kk bye bye :) xx

*insert update title here*

Okay, so every time I come on here I seem to only post updates, which once again is what I am doing now. So with out furtheradew (<.< sounds better spoken >.>) here is my update.

College -  I have only passed one of my AAT level 3 exams and as a result I have decided that enough is enough for now and have finished the course. I will however go back to it at a later date through a different provider and hopefully pass it :) Although I failed I'd like to consider it a proud failure as I never expected to even pass one exam on this level.

Work - I'm still at the same job as I've had for the past two years which is amazing for me. As usually due to no fault of my own (contracts ending, moving country, etc) I never stay in one place for longer than a year,  out of all the jobs I've had to date this is my longest running role and I'm so happy. I have become an important member of staff in my office and I feel that I work well with the other people in our office. I'm learning new things constantly and picking up new skills which will help me in the future should anything happen with my job. I am an accounts clerk now as opposed to an apprentice and its nice to finally be a normal staff member :)

Life - My life has always been a rollercoaster, and not much has changed in that respect. Well some things have changed but nothing really out of the ordinary. Things that have changed have mainly been materialistic or superficial as of late such as buying my very first MacBook and finally starting on my Alice in wonderland sleeve tattoo on my left arm. I also have a big thigh piece booked in for the 19th of this month and I'm so excited to get it done :)

Tattoos- As I mentioned above I recently got some and have planned some new tattoos. So for any not who reads this and is curious to why I got them, then here it is. I've always hated myself and my body and for as long as I can remember I've wanted to change how I look. So in September of 2011 whilst I was on holiday in Bulgaria I decided to make a change, I got my first tattoo and OMG the happiness I felt at that moment was amazing. For the first time ever I was happy with my body. I loved my new tattoo and it made me happy, something that my family and friends commented on. so there it is, the reason I get tattoos is simple, they make me happy and proud of my body. With tattoos I am able to have pieces of art with me wherever I go, I am a walking canvas for someone else's masterpieces. As a result I'm starting to love my body. Tattoos may not be for everyone but I hope that you will respect me in my choice to get them even if you personally wouldn't have any.

FAT!! - right so as I've said countless times on here, I hate my body, so to combat this I am going to attempt to change this. I will be re-joining the gym at the end of the month and switching to a HEALTHY low calorie diet in order to shift my weight. I plan to eat healthy ( 3 meals & 3 snacks a day) and to exercise at least 4 times a week. Starting with gentle exercises working up to intense work out sessions. I'll hopefully start doing some classes when I'm a lot fitter and can actually last the whole class. When I start my journey I will try and post my progress here, with my start weight and then posting anytime I see or feel some changes :)

So this is all for my updates, I don't have much else to say atm, which is good and for a change my update this time was pretty positive :D


So once again I anyone has read this, please feel free to comment bellow and ask me anything. Share how your day was and just say hi :) I don't expect many people to see this but it's still nice to know that even one person does :)


bye for now :)

2017 update

Okay, so I haven't updated this site in the past two years. I guess that's not really that important as people don't really read my posts. But that's okay since I only really use this as a random place to put my thoughts. In some ways it's like talking to someone even though I don't get a response. I find it helpful.

Anywhoo, so what has happened in the past two years. Well for one I passed AAT level 2 which was an amazing achievement for me as I never though I'd last longer than a few months on the course. I was able to make my supervisor in work proud, which is good as I have since been put forward to learn new tasks and skills in my work. I continued on to do level 3 which is an Advanced Diploma in Accounting, I've since found it to be a lot trickier than the previous level and even if I pass the year I know I won't be continuing onto the next level.

In case anyone does read this and is a little bit confused, I am currently an apprentice Accountant in the accounts department of a steel stockholders. As a result I am being trained in a specific area of accounts but that's okay as I personally don't think I'd be able to work in the other sectors. (constantly correcting typing errors here >.<)

What else can I update with? hmm . . .  so as of last year I am no longer a single pringle in a bagel world. I now have a boyfriend *insert applause here* yay me. So other than that there isn't really much to update on. I have planned a few tattoos so hopefully I'll get those done soon :) I plan to start my sleeve on my left arm and get a few pieces on my left leg. I still need to word on the designs for my right side but that can wait as I have plenty of time :)

Well that's my mini update, I'll try to post more often from now on but for now that's all from me. so bye bye :)

Update - June 2015

Okay!

Okay okay okay okay okay okay! 

So, as always I'm going to start this post complaining about my life followed by my idealistic plans on how I'm going to fix things (which never actually end up happening) and end it on a "oh well that's life" note. 

Right? Here comes the complaining. My life is dull boring and not at all what I had dreamed it would be like when I was a child. My day consists of -wake up - work - eat - bath - sleep and repeat! Which is boring. So where do I start? I need to change things. If I don't I'll end up going insane. 

So, clearly 2015 isn't shaping up tooo well to be MY year, but it's not over yet, or so I say. I hope to change things. It's just at the moment it's a little bit tricky. hopefully things will change soon and I'll be able to make changes that will be of benefit to me. 

What do I need to change? It's simple, my dependency on others. I rely too much on others and every-time I get let down, as I'm clearly not high enough up on their priorities.

Another thing I am going to do is stop wasting energy on trying to make things work with people. I spend time worrying whether or not people are going to like me or not and I've had enough. I'm sick of trying hard to get people to see the real me. But now I no longer care. I'm no longer going to be the person everyone wants me to be, I'm not the baby, I am my own person and I have dreams and goals and aspirations.

I don't want to live in this small town all my life. I want to escape and start a new. I look around my room and feel nothing towards my possessions, things I used to love. These past two years have taught me valuable lessons, that it's people that matter not things. I lost two very important people in my life and it made me realise this, life is short, you never know what tomorrow brings. so I ask myself this question, If I were to die tomorrow, would I be able to say I lived my life to the full? The answer is no. No I haven't. I live in a town I loathe in a country I hate. But I suppose that isn't going to change anytime soon. Is it even realistic to dream I'll ever be able to move to New Zealand. I wish I could give up on that dream, but I can't, I've tasted freedom and it's too good to give up.

So how am I going to change, well first step is going to happen shortly. Fingers crossed it happens. Me and my mom are going to be moving house. We'll be moving closer to my sister which will be good for my mom, but it will also have benefits for me. The gym I intend to join is across the road and my favourite hairdressers (owned by my cousin) is down the road. So I'll be able to start making the changes to my life that I hoped to make all those  years ago. 

The goals you ask? Simple. Here they are:

Lose weight - I want to go back to being 9st

Get out more - I spend to much time alone and I'm tired of it

Look and dress the way I do in my dreams

Be more confident

Be ambitious

And most of all, I want to gain a purpose, a reason to live. At the moment all i'm doing is coasting through life. Nothing changes and I'm constantly bored. Okay maybe that last one is a lie, (clearly not in a happy mood right now).

So before I get all moody (or even worse), I'm going to go. 

So Good Bye <3 p="">

:(

The thing with depression. Just when you think things are starting to feel better and improve, it comes back. The sinking feelings, the anxiety and the desire to disappear from the world. To not think, to not feel. The numbness is better than the constant anxiety and feeling that you'll never be good enough :( 

When you lose interest in the things you love, when you no longer care about things or anything in general. 

The tiredness and lethargy. :( 

Social Media

So

So 

So

So

What have I got to say about social media??? 

I'm ever so slightly obsessed. So to fix this, I have a plan.

No Twitter or Facebook (main account) for an entire weekend. If I can survive this then I won't be re-installing the apps on my phone. So if people want to contact me they'll have to wait for me to go on my laptop. 

So yes, it's bye bye Twitter and bye bye Facebook starting today. 

New Year!! New me!!! Wait what????

So today's the day I write my New Years post. Kind of late I know, but hey does anyone actually wait for this?? Noope didnt think so. 

So where should I begin??  Oh yes New Years resolutions of 2014!!! Woop 

So I failed

I failed to complete them all. 

Lose weight?? Yes but only 7kg's and ended up gaining 5kgs back. 

Visit Hobbiton?? Nope :/ didn't want to go on my own :,)

Learn to drive? Kinda, I now know how to drive, though I still need a million lessons and still need to take the test. 

Meet new people?? Check, check and check x3 

Get a job?? Booyaaa hunny, I got 3!!! 

Get out more?? Hell yeah, day trips out and weekends away and mini road trips with friends!!

Do fun and crazy things??? Can I just say  CANYON SWING!!!!! OMG was it amazing and fun and crazy and omg!!!

Become more confident?? Maybe?? But only time will tell :) Id like think I have but you know, who knows for sure?? 

Okay so this year, what do I plan to achieve???

More tattoos!!

More piercings!!( just the ears) 

Lose weight!!! 

Meet Serahrahrahrahrahrahraharah!!!

Meet Nina~chan!!! 

Go to London with my mom!!

Pass my drivers test!! XD 

Get a job!!

Holiday to New Zealand!!!

Road trip!! 

Go to Japan!!!

Get a car!!! 

Whew what a list!! Hopefully I'll be able to achieve all of them :3 might have to drag Serah to NZ to visit Hobbitton with me >:D Mwuhaha 

So yeah here we go again!!!

DECEMBER!!

Okay so let's start things with saying "WOW!!" It feels as if the year had only just started and it's coming to an end already. Which means that in less than 50 days I'll be leaving to go back to the UK. As you'd probably guess this isn't the worst news in the world. but to be honest it's not the best news either. I love New Zealand, more so due to the people as opposed to the country, but i suppose it could be worse. So far since being here it has been a bit of a roller-coaster journey. There have been good times and Just don't even go there times, but as of right now I can safely say I wouldn't change a thing. The things that have happened have taught me some valuable life lessons and I'm not about to forget them in a hurry. So what are these lessons, I suppose I should answer that right?? 

 So life lesson one: Look after Number 1 and by number 1 I mean ME/YOU/I, basically yourself. This doesn't mean you have to become self-centered, but to look out for you. Okay??

 Next life lesson: Actions have consequences, whether they are good or bad. You make your bed and you have to lie in it. Sometimes the decisions of others can affect you, and all you can do is stand tall, head up high and ride out the storm. 

 So the very last lesson is simple, Have opinions, have goals, have desires, dreams, wishes, hopes and aspirations and most of all have faith that one day your dreams will come true. But most of all remember this, when one door closes another door opens. You may not see the light now, but in time all will become clear.

"For with each dawn, she found new hope that someday, her dreams of happiness would come true."

So I guess I should quit with the life coaching attempts, heh ¬.¬'' I guess i'm not good at it after all, but oh well. Right so what else can I update you with. Well lets see, the last post I really had a good talk to you with, kinda ended on a depressing note. But I can say since then things have been moving on up. Booyahh hunny!! Right so my birthday happened, I got a new job, I went on a road trip with friends and I started learning to drive. So yeah, not that much has happened but it's been far more eventful than my life has been since I finished school. Guess that shows how much of an anti-social person I am. 

I'm 22 and next year (no surprise) I'll be turning 23. I'd have thought that by now I'd have everything in life basically sorted. Well guess what, it hasn't happened yet. I'm still as childish as ever and I still have no control over my life. So how do you suppose I change this?? First step, learning to drive. Once I have managed to do that my world will open up. I won't be relying on others to get me from A to B, I'll be able to take myself places. So what are my future plans aside from driving? I plan on learning to love myself and appreciate me for what I can provide on my own. I want to be able to buy my own car, rent my own place and hold a steady job. I don't want to be a woman who needs a man, but rather a woman that a man needs. :| Yeah that sounded way better in my head that it does on here but hopefully you get the message right?? It's not like people take that much notice of what I write on here, or do they?? 

Okay so lets switch it up. For the past couple of months I've noticed things changing. I'm no longer agreeing with everything people say and I've kicked the people pleasing habit to a certain degree. I've been doing things my way and have started to feel better for it. I am me and no-one else can be a better me. 

So maybe I should tell you a little bit about myself ( not that you don't know too much already ) 

I'm a 22 year old woman trying to swim in the sea of life. I have lots of hobbies and interests but they all seem to be old granny hobbies; Crosstitching, Sewing, Baking, Knitting, scrapbooking etc... I love music, I basically have a favourite song from every genre, from the heavy metal and Screamo, to the classical melodies. I also love movies, with my favourite genre being thriller/psychological horrors and my least fave genre being comedies. But on saying that I do love  a good Adam Sandler movie, Will Smith, The carry on series and a couple more comedy films :/ SO I guess I'm a bit of a contradiction. But the truth be told that's me all over. I don't like dogs and yet I want a puppy, I hate the colour pink and yet I have pretty much everything in pink. I prefer Winter to summer, Spring to Autumn. White to Black, Gothic to girly, Night to day and the list goes on. My lucky number is 7, though I always seem the find the number 3 doing more favours for me. I love Tarot cards and mystical creatures such as fairies, demons, witches and all things magical, but I don't believe in them. My star sign is cancer and my favourite crystal is Amethyst. So that's it, I don't think I've missed too much out :3

Right so as for the life changing lessons, this is what I've been doing to fix all the mistakes that I keep making. I try to be happy and not let stress get to me which has caused me to develop the f**k it mentality. kinda strange right. The mentality is this, I was anxious about flying to New Zealand on my own, but then suddenly I realised If I didn't take that step I'd be stuck in my hometown forever, the solution is simple, I just thought f**k it, and pushed myself forward. Another way for you to look at it is the "bite the bullet" theory. As at the end of the day if you don't try then you'll always fail, but if you take that chance you have the opportunity to succeed in life. I chose to stop letting my fears control my life, I'm in the driving seat now and THIS IS MY LIFE!!!!

Anime tag :3

Here are 25 questions to be answered (all anime related, of course!) and if you're an anime fan and have some free time, you should do this tag too :D I saw this on Serah's blog so here we go :3 

~~~

Question 1.
Who is your favourite male anime 
Oh man is this a difficult question, but if I had to pick one male character I would have to say Kai from Beyblade. He's the first character that comes to mind and I've always loved him, it used to be a tie between him and Duo Maxwell from Gundam Wing. :3  

Question 2.

Who is your favourite female anime character?

Again, another hard question! So let's go with the first that comes to mind, so her I go. . . . RYOKO!! From Tenchi Muyo :3 Love Love Love Loooooovvvvvvveeeee her!!!! <333

Question 6.

What is your favourite anime scene?

Ummmmmm hmmmm what scene shall I pick??? Man oh man is this hard to pick :,) maybe, or maybe not ....

I won't spoil it but man just watch it and if you don't cry well then clearly you have no heart 😭

Question 7.

Question 8.

Hmmm let's see :/ I would love to say that I am like Tohru Honda, but I guess others would probably pick other characters. 

Question 9.

What is your favourite thing about anime?

Question 13.

What anime would make a good game?

I think pretty much every anime you can think of has a game adaption or was a game first.. :F

Question 14.

What game would make a good anime?

Okay, so I would have to agree with Serah as I would love to see these games turned into anime XD man would they be epic!! There's so much detail in the games that they'd have a lot of material to work with :)

Another Code: Two Memories (DS)

Another Code: R - A Journey Into Lost Memories (Wii)

Actually...Fragile Dreams: Farewell Ruins of the Moon (Wii) would also be a great game to make into an anime! O:

Question 15.

What was the first anime you ever watched?

Before I knew what anime was, I'd have to say Sailor Moon, but actively knowing what anime is, I guess it would have to be Naruto. 

Question 16.

Do you think you'll ever stop watching anime?

I know I haven't been watching anime as much recently, but I can safely say that I'll never fully stop. When I have kids I'll just force them to watch it, mwuhahahahahaha XD

Honestly I don't have a favourite genre, I love different series from pretty much every genre. Yaoi, Yuri, Horror, Shojo, Shounen and everything else :3

Question 21.

Syo-kun and Komari-chan <333

I think they'd make a perfect couple, especially if I were Komari-chan :3 

Question 25.

What was your favourite video game as a child?

Any of my brothers games, so Games like Soul blade and Grand turismo :) 

Okay so yep, here are my answers, hopefully you learnt something :3 have a nice day :3 

(>^-^)>*<(^-^<) 

Filofax

So let me explain. Recently I've been obsessed with watching Filofax videos on YouTube, strange I know but for some reason highly addictive. I've always wanted a filofax since I was a child, seeing my dad use his and it seemed so grown up and awesome. But for the same reason as when I was younger I never really got one. The reasons being, I don't have a hectic schedule so I never really needed an expensive diary. But after watching the YT videos I decide to dive in and give it a go. I'm hoping to organise my life a little bit better. Mainly do that I can keep track of my spending, the hours I work (it changed each night) and how lazy I am and by that I mean looking at how many days I sit around doing nothing. 

So let's get started. I ordered a Personal sized Apex Filofax in green, which comes with the basic inserts. 

The next step is to print out the "fun" inserts to jazz up the boring planner. So as I love Disney I've gone for some Alice in wonderland inspired diary pages :3

Bioshock 2

Okay so I'll be the first to admit that I'm the worst when it comes to computer games, whether it's actual PC games or games for the different consoles, it doesn't matter I'm completely useless. Despite this, I actually enjoy playing the games. So as I'm a sucker for buying awesome games that I know I'll never complete, I thought I'd take the plunge and finally get round to buying a Bioshock game. Admittedly I wish I could have got the first game, but hey, the second games not that bad right? Right?  I've seen the playthroughs on YouTube so it should be okay. I'm planning to set myself the goal of at least getting halfway through this game by the end of the year. So wish me luck :)

Davines hair products

So for my birthday I received a couple of hair products as a gift from my fabulous friend Jenny (she's a hairdresser). The products she gave are salon quality and smell divine. I was given a Shampoo, conditioner and a hair oil, so the basics but honestly I don't use anything else so it was a nice treat :3

The shampoo is great, it doesn't lather up, but that just means that also doesn't strip your hair of it's natural oils. It keeps your hair clean, healthy and shiny without being greasy. It has the added bonus of smelling lovely. The only problem I have with the shampoo is the container as it's very easy to accidentally pour too much out onto your hands which is a bit tricky when your in the shower. The conditioner is very hydrating and leaves my hair soft and shiny. It doesn't need to be left on for a long time either for it to have an effect which is very nice. The hair oil is great as you can use it on your hair as a treatment (when it's towel dry) before leaving it to air dry or blow drying it. You can also use it on your hair when it's dry as a finishing product to prevent fly-aways and to give added shine :)

All in all after using these products for the past 2 weeks I would have to say that they are pretty amazing. I have noticed that my hair is glossy and shiny without looking greasy and that I can go 2 days without washing my hair as opposed to having to wash it daily with the Pantene Pro V shampoo I was using. I would highly recommend this range if you can get hold of it, it's an amazing set of products and well worth investing in.
