I may or may not have forgotten to mention the tag I'm doing for the entirety of December, my bad. Anyway, I'm (re)doing a tag created by Ali of Aliology called the 12 Posts of Christmas. I deliberately failed to do this tag last year, so I shall try again. I failed to make a separate post explaining the actual tag, so I'll just link you to my post last year. As for my second post for the tag, I'm doing another tag (how complex)!

Okay so I'm going to be completely honest and admit that I googled "Christmas blog post ideas". I found the Christmas Tag done by the people behind Makeup Savvy and created by Becky of Milk Bubble Tea. I also took some questions from the Christmas Tag from Makeup Pixi3.

It's basically just Christmas-y questions that I have to answer. I tag whoever is reading this right now and all those who have just run out of Christmas post ideas. I'll put the questions at the bottom of the post so that you guys could copy and paste it whenever ya feel like it.

First, I am truly sorry for posting this 2 months late! A very humongous thank you to Neri from My Life in a Tab for nominating me!

Huge thanks to Sarah from A Glimpse of Blue for tagging me! =)

1. Songs you listen to when you're happy?
> Mostly All Time Low party songs like I Feel Like Dancin' and Something's Gotta Give (okay this might not be a party song), but I always find myself wading through other genres, I listen to Ed Sheeran as well and some (very) rare times, I listen to Taylor Swift.

2. Songs you listen to when you're sad?
> There's a special part in my heart for Endlessly (The Script), Sad Song (We The Kings), Lego House (Ed Sheeran), Amelia (Tonight Alive), Welcome to the Black Parade (My Chemical Romance) and Nothing (The Cab). A lot more bands/artists alike.

3. What was the last song you listened to?
> Say You Like Me by We The Kings. I actually made a little thing for that..

4. What's the most musically involved you have ever been?
> We once had this event called a Jubilee in church where we get to sing to general authorities of our church organization and I was one of the (many) singers. But this was, what, 7-ish years ago and now me singing is relatively comparable to nails on a chalkboard (no kidding).

5. Name four or more flawless albums
*aggresively restrains myself from enumerating all 1D albums or all ATL albums*
> Dirty Work (All Time Low)
> Four (One Direction)
> On Your Side (A Rocket to the Moon)
> Mayday Parade (Self-titled album)

> Collide With the Sky (Pierce the Veil)
> Other Side (Tonight Alive)

6. What is your favourite movie soundtrack?
> Always had a soft spot for Hunger Games OST. But I guess it's a tie between that and TFIOS.

7. What was your last musical "phase" before you wisened up?
> I had this whole emo phase right before my fangirl (I don't really consider 1D as an unwise music choice) days. I used to obsess over emo bands and artists so much. Avril Lavigne was my inspiration for every. single. thing. I tried to copy her hair, the way she dressed, the heavy eye liner, everything. And I listened to bands like Secondhand Serenade, FM Static, Boys Like Girls, and the lot. Oh don't get me wrong though, these bands are amazing too!

8. What's your "guilty pleasure" that you hate to admit liking?
> I could say All Time Low (being quite religious and quiet, people never really expect me to like these guys), but I've always found it hard to admit that I used to fangirl over One Direction (I still listen to them, yes, but I'm not as obsessed//dedicated to them as I was before). And I don't mean just listening to them or stalking them or saving pictures of them. I used to be an admin of a page dedicated to them, a member of the Directioners' group in my entire country, have countless (okay, not countless, but a LOT) of merch from in and out of the country, notebooks, pens, posters, albums, autopics, sling bags, pillows, you name it. I also stalked them 24/7. I spent a lot of money on my mobile data just so I could know what they were up to even if I was in school. I also wrote a huge amount of fanfictions. And being a Ziall girl, I made too many manips and was brave enough to stick 'em to my wall (they're no longer there!). Sooo, yeah. That's my guilty pleasure.

9. Song that makes you lose your sh*t at a party?
> First of all, I have absolutely no idea what they actually play in parties because I never really go to parties (1. hate being squished around, 2. height problems, 3. for some reason the thought scares me). But, I'll just go with Young Volcanoes by Fall Out Boy (is this even a party song???¿) and any All Time Low part song, really.

10. Song you play on your headphones when out and about?
Anything, really. Okay, maybe with the exception of the loud bands. When I'm out and about I try to keep the volume level down a bit so I can still be aware of my surroundings (this sounds really nerdy, but hey better safe than sorry, right?).

It was fun doing this and I definitely enjoyed. I hope to hear other bloggers' answers to these questions sooo..

Here are the blogers/blogs I'm tagging:

- Christina from Is It Really So Strange?

- Grace from Dainty Sprinkles

- Vanshi from Upwardss

'Til then! =)

((still haven't done the signature)

Beautiful typography by Abbey Sy. =)

First of all, I apologize for posting this sooo late! But I personally think this is such a gorgeous idea, a big thank you to Ali from Aliology for tagging me! I won't spend a lot of time explaining the whole tag, but you can head over HERE (I find the need to scream that) to read Ali's explanation (which is honestly better that whatever I can come up with). To sum up things, basically, you are tagged to post Christmas-y things for 12 days within December. I am very excited for this because one, I LOVE December and two, I LOVE Christmas even more! So, join me and let us do this wonderful tag!

Seeing as it is a bit too late to tag specific people as the second week of December just rolled in, I'm just going to tag all of you reading this right this moment! I truly, truly apologize for being such a failure with all these tags. =((( I hope you will still join in even though this is posted so late. :< I'll be pestering people to do this tag as well to kinda redeem myself. =)

DAY ONE of this tag will be up tomorrow. Can't wait to read yours as well! Leave me a link down on the comments below and I'll get reading! Ta-ta for now! =D

(((Also, a side note, I was COMPLETELY unaware that my previous Monday blog posts failed to actually be posted, so guess who's getting three consecutive annoying words from meee? Yooouu!)))))

This post is a few days late (being the punctual person that I am.) But I decided to do it anyways. So, yeah, I got nominated for the Liebester Award! Whoop! whoop! Special thanks to Sarah from A Glimpse of Blue for nominating me! That came out really unexpected, but my gratitude is beyond measure. :)

Also, I'm fairly new to these kinds of things, so please forgive me if I get anything wrong. :D

Rules that I solemnly swear to follow:
1. Link the blogger that nominated you
2. Answer the 11 questions they have written for you
3. Give 11 random facts about yourself
4. Nominate other bloggers with under 200 followers who you think deserve the award
5. Post 11 questions for your nominees

Questions from Sarah:

- If money wasn't an object, what would you do?
Probably create a library of some sort that contains all of my special picks and make it open to the public. I seriously love recommending good books to people and finding out their reactions after reading. Books are one of the most amazing ways to connect people. :)

- What is your favourite book and why?
Usually when people ask me this, I go on full rage mode and explain how hard it is to answer this. There's simply too many! But since I'm going to have to choose one anyways, I'm gonna go with the one that really made a great impact on me, which is "Paper Towns" by John Green. It's funny and inspiring at the same time. I learned a lot of wise words in this book. I'll stop here to avoid a really long and quite emotional breakdown about the book. :)

- If you could spend the day with anyone (has to be a real person) throughout all of history, what would you do and what would you talk about?
Forgive me for such cliche answers, but I'd like to spend the day with Ringo Starr. I got hooked to the Beatles a few weeks ago, thanks to my new friends who kept passing their songs to me. The Beatles' rise to fame is astonishing, really. They were a worldwide sensation. Everybody knew them, even until now. Anyway, I'd probably spend the day with Ringo watching different concerts, showing him how much music has changed over the years. Then I'd probably go all interviewer mode and ask him about his life or so.

- Sweet or savoury?
Sweet. I don't have a sweet tooth, I have SWEET TEETH. I currently take the shape of a small marshmallow because of this.

- What five songs would be on the soundtrack to your life?
> "Weightless" by All Time Low
> "Young Volcanoes" by Fall Out Boy
> "I am His Daughter" by Russ Dixon
> "Hey Jude" by the Beatles
> "That Girl" by All Time Low

- (I'm stealing Freya's here ^^) Why did you start blogging?
I started blogging because I wanted a place where I could put my thoughts and share them to people who might just feel the same. Also, my relatives found these really big journals I used to write in, and they suggested that I create an online blog to practice my writing skills and to interact with people sharing the same interest. It's been about 6 months since I started blogging, and well it's been great. :)

- If you could be invisible for one day, what would you do?
Go to the people who helped me in the past, but I never got to thank or was too scared to. I'd do simple and quiet acts of kindness for them. I'd also possibly sneak into movie theaters and watch movies for free. Hahahaha

- What is your favourite thing to do with friends?
Watching movies. My friends and I have different movie tastes (don't mind that made up term haha). But we all like movies in general, so basically once a movie comes out and one of my friends like it or tells us that it's worth watching, we'd watch it all together. We watched The Fault in Our Stars just last week and the boys CRIED. Yepp, they CRIED. We're watching 22 Jump Street this weekend, and I'm really excited! :D

- Most embarrassing childhood moment?
When I was in 1st Grade, I needed to poo so badly, but we were in class. So, I had to hold it in for a full hour. After that, I silently went to my teacher and told her my situation. We had this small bathroom inside our room and she told me to go ahead and do my business. So, I did. The relief was amazing, guys. But then I looked around and found no tissue. Also no soap. Let alone a bucket of water. The sink was a bit far and I was small so I couldn't reach it. So, being the little genius that I was (see the sarcasm?), I stayed there, sitting on the toilet, inhaling the beautiful smell of my own creation. After about forever, several knocks came to the door and I was too scared to speak. So, the teacher must have called our maintenance guy, because the door suddenly unlocked and a pair of about 20 1st Graders plus my teacher stared at me, sitting on the toilet.

I was scarred for life.

- If you could live in any fictional universe, what would it be and why?
The Wizarding World of Harry Potter. I love the Wizarding World. It's amazing and I'd give anything to live in that universe. Who wouldn't say no to Hogwarts? A trip to Hogsmeade? Honeydukes? This place is simply so beautiful. I mean, a place with flying broomsticks, pigmypuffs, potion making, wands, magic, and a lot more? Despite all of the dangers, I'd still choose this place over the others.

- Fashion or comfort?
Definitely comfort. I was never one to choose looking good and standing out over being comfortable with what I'm wearing. Plus I'm pretty sure it's possible to be comfortable and fashionable at the same time. :)

11 Random Facts:
1. I am honestly too short for my age.
2. I have a thing for potatoes, they're my absolute favorite vegetable.
3. I feel quite the same about tomatoes.
4. My childhood dream? Nope, it ain't Disneyland. It's The Wizarding World of Harry Potter in Orlando plus Draco Malfoy's wand (not THAT wand you evil, evil person!)
5. I name all of my possessions.
6. My phone's name is Bob and my netbook's name is Eli.
7. I hate carnivals. My first trip to one didn't go so well.
8. I still have "Call Me Maybe" on my phone. It used to be my ringtone.
9. Andrea is my second name. I don't really like people calling me by my first name.
10. I prefer DC's animated movies over Marvel's, but I gotta admit, Marvel nailed the CGI movies.
11. My second favorite number is 11. :D

Kiyara from Normalien World
Ali from Aliology

Hey guys! I was going around the blogoverse yesterday in search of good blogs to follow and spend time in, and I found a really cool blog post idea down at Weaving Pages by one of my awesome blogger idols, Rita. Every month she has this segment called “Book Boyfriends” and basically she would give a book character (male, obviously) and ask around why they would be the perfect boyfriend. It was really fun to read and I have this fetish for watching people fangirl.

Anyway, today I had the idea of adapting the idea (what?). But, I’ll make a slight change. Instead of doing it every week and asking around, I’ll be sharing my Top 5 Book Boyfriends, Why, and A Favorite Photo of Them (It could be your own face claim of what he would look like, a fan art, or the actual actor if the book has a movie adaptation). After that, I’ll be tagging people to post the same kind of thing and then they’ll tag people too and so on and so forth. However, if the tagged people are not interested or they don’t want to do it, that’s absolutely fine. :) I won’t bother putting rules and such since I just want this to be fun.
