Buckle Down And Work

Hello people!

Yes it's been a while since I last posted something on here...and happy belated new year!...I think...Anyway, I've been busy. That's why I haven't posted something on here for a while. First I went to Belgium for Christmas (which was awesome by the way, if not cold), my birthday had come around, and my sister, cousin, aunt and I went on a spa day and...well...I couldn't have been more relaxed, I started semester 2 of my second year, at uni, and well...I've been playing...a lot lately.

Don't judge me, I am a "gamer girl" so what can you do?? So here's the 411. I'm going to be working on my novel again, and this time I will finish it, before the year is up, it will be up in Summer, I can promise you that, and hopefully, if all goes according to plan, my friends and I will be starting up a YouTube channel, for all our film ideas...so yes we're going to be YouTubers!!

Right now, I'm actually attempting to finish this story, so I can get back on track with uni work, and yes, I am doing my work! I've already done the "homework" for one of my modules, I've done the reading for another, and all I have left is the rework of my CV for the last one. I am on a roll this year! No more depression about not being in a relationship, or over-stressing myself because of university, and no more "I wish"'s this year I am buckling down and getting work done. So if you don't hear from me it's because I'm going full out professional-work-mode!

So now, here's a new tidbit for the story, because you're all probably wondering what it it's about (mind you, it's a rough summary, I've yet to make up a proper one for it):

To have your world ripped away from you, because you're old enough is hard enough, but to venture in one that may kill you is another. A month after her 21st birthday, Tera is thrown into a world of magic, talking creatures, and cursed kings. Little does she know her hidden past is bound to this new world, and becoming the hostage of a cursed kingdom is just one part of it. Not to mention, being approached by the Great Seven, is no easy task either. The tests she is given will determine whether or not she is ready to fulfil her destiny.

Ok...so crappy summary but you get the gist. I'll explain more, when the time is right. For now, please don't hate! ><

Next order of business...my reviews. For those of you who don't know what I'm talking about, here's a link:

Feather's Reviews

Basically, if you don't know already, I'm doing a Film Production degree and because of that, I've deigned it necessary that I start reviewing any films, TV shows, and whatever. This is because I've realised, I'd rather be doing something in writing, whether it actually is writing a novel, a screenplay, review, or simply filling out forms for production schedules and meetings. I know that being at a desk, looking at a computer screen nearly 24/7 is the ideal job for me...after all I'm already doing that for work, I'm writing posts/pages for a blog about dyslexia, which you can check out here:

The Codpast

Yeah...you'll find my stuff under "Blog" it's there somewhere, just look at the small print saying "Curation by Vanessa Rocha...", that's me, in all my artistic glory... Ok so maybe it's not artistic, more...sarcastic, comical and well...pretty much something like this, but at least it's a start, and hey, it's not that bad, at least I'm raising awareness for dyslexics, which, I can assure you, is a very hard thing to research on. Trust me, there's a lot of things to find on the internet, but finding out who's dyslexic and who's not is very hard to do.

Anyway, back to the reviews...yeah...so...I was going to write a review for the film version of Into the Woods (Rob Marshall, 2014), but it was quite forgettable. I couldn't remember half the things that were in the film, the instant I left the cinema. Sorry Rob Marshall, but it just didn't stand out for me, not like Andrew Lloyd Webber's The Phantom of the Opera (2004) or Cameron Mackintosh's Les Miserable (2012). I know they're big hits, even in the West End and Broadway, and yes, they're the main ones everyone looks to for inspiration, but so help me, they are! I've got to get that warm fuzzy feeling inside, when I watch a musical, I want the songs to be remember-able and then I'll fall in love with it, and write that all important review, but in your case, I didn't. You're going to have to do something better than that, if you want to be a contender like The Phantom of the Opera, or Les Miserable, or even Wicked (Stephen Schwartz, 2003).

Anyway, that's it for now. Stay beautiful, and remember no stress, no depression and no laziness (yes I'll be starting my workout again). Be good, God Bless. ^^

Gaming and Work Hiatus

Yes as the title says I will be taking some time off, perhaps a month or two, because lately I have not been feeling well. As you can tell from Ereimul Reviews (I might actually change the title) I have not written a review for the newest episodes for The Big Bang Theory, Doctor Who or even Once Upon A Time. The truth is, I am going through a personal crisis right now, and I don't think I can handle work alongside this crisis.

I know you all may want to know what this crisis is, but I don't think I will tell, nor will I feel obliged to tell you all. Don't worry though, I have help at hand, so no one need worry. For now, please be patient with me. I will eventually get back up on my feet.

As for the updates, I'm currently working on chapter 23 of this story, and it will annoy you all, I understand that...and when you initially read it, I know you'll all want to throw your laptops or computers or tables at the wall, but I promise you it's not a "she woke up and it was all a dream" situation, read on and it will all make sense (trust me her adventures are not a dream). The idea was taken from Of Dreams and Broken Things (the fan fiction for Labyrinth) and for those of you who have read it, you'll understand what I mean.

Now for my gaming hiatus. Yes I will be taking time off League of Legends partly because my alert pings have not been working well, and I might have to uninstall the game in order to correct the problem, but I assure you after my hiatus is over, I will be back on the game as soon as possible. Speaking of League of Legends, did anyone see the finals? I knew Samsung White was going to win! It was so obvious, Star Horn Royal Club had no chance against them...Have you seen the stats? Anyway, I'm glad Samsung White won, in their own country, I guess it's a nation thing...but hopefully over the next few years, more "Western" teams can feature in these games, I know how great they can be, and I know how tough "Asian" teams are, one day there will be equality, I just know it!

Anyway, that's it for now, so sing a song, read a book or whatever...and as always, do with this post what you want, except copy it because it's my stuff!! ^^

New Blog Coming Soon!

Just another update for all of you lovely people. Yes a new blog will be up soon, and the reviews I've made here on this blog will be moved to that one. So look out for the link on my Pages section (in the box on the right here -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------->)

This new blog has yet to have a title, but I'll be working on it soon. It will be filled with reviews for movies and TV programmes such as the new Once Upon A Time series, the new Doctor Who series and possibly the new Big Bang Theory series.

Sorry it's so short, but things are building up as my university timetable has started and I have so much to do, but don't worry, because the blog will be up by Christmas. Thank you and have a good day. ^^

Update Time - Sunday Shopping and Catch-Ups

Hi guys, so I was right, I wasn't going to finish Chapter 7 yesterday, in fact, I'm still working on it today. Hopefully it will be done tonight. I think my muse is trying to run off with her husband, but right now, I have to keep her chained to the wall, just so she could finish this story (oh and by the way, her husband is imagination. He seems to be doing a good job of tempting me to let her go, and well many times I've tried to throw him a bone, so he doesn't try again, but who knows, he's a slippery snake).

Ok so I went grocery shopping with my parents, and I haven't done that in a very long time, and I sort of miss it. Maybe the next time they go, I'll ask to tag along (I highly doubt it though). The truth is, the reason why is because I need a new picture for my passport, because well, mine's soon to expire, so I needed to use the booth in the corner of the supermarket. So yes I went shopping with them because I needed to take a picture. It was ok...I wasn't overly fond of it, I just wish I could have worn my glasses, because I really look Chinese in the picture.

Anyway, as for the second part of the title, I've just recently been added by an old friend, who I haven't spoken to in a long time, and we've just chatted about our careers, she's going into travel and tourism, I'm going into film as you all know. It's really cool, we might end up seeing each other, if ever I need to travel for my job. But that's probably going to be way into the future.

I know this is way off topic, but I may just make another blog, for my film reviews. I will still be doing them, when I get the chance, but at the moment it's still in the works. That way, the reviews will be separate from these rants, and updates. Yeah, I think I might just do that. Oh and I'll probably move the reviews I've already done, to that blog. So watch out for another link that will probably be coming your way.

So that's it for now, and when I've made probably three more chapters in this stupid story, I'll be getting back to you. For now, over and out! ^^ (I'm going to try a new thing...since my sign outs are getting boring (ooo....speaking of which, I might add some sort of logo or emblem, that represents me or something, who knows...)
