Mirror Mirror On the Wall


Done with Harry Potter series for the fourth time now. Feeling quite empty. Happens every time! Have to wait for one whole year (at least six months) to read them again. I wonder how many times will I read them. Even when I have grandchildren? Probably. These books are magical! I was 11 when I read Philosopher's Stone, and was hooked! Was very fascinating, wished I would get a letter from Hogwarts. However, no scars or Voldemort for me please!


It's kind of same with Enid Blyton's Malory towers, St. Clare, Naughtiest girl and Faraway tree... No matter how many I read them , don't get enough of it (haven't read them for about 2 years, though). You do miss the things you grew up with!

I wish HP series hadn't ended, JK Rowling could have continued it like any Star Plus soap operas, couldn't she? (but those dramas are sooo..!! Dunno how people watch Star Plus, i can't =/).

Anyway.

Was wandering when I stumbled upon some site on superstitions (hey, I don't believe number 13 is unlucky, or black cats)... There were few on mirrors (I mean On MIRRORS?!) which are sort of interesting...

*If a couple's first sight of each other is their reflections in a mirror they will have a happy marriage

*Vampires and witches show no reflection in mirrors because they have no souls. (BUT Edward Cullen could see it, right?! And HE is The Vampire =]. Oh and so could Sabrina the Witch)

* Some cultures believe that a baby who looks into a mirror during the first year of its life will die.

* If a mirror falls from a wall it means someone is going to die.

* Ancient Chinese believed that mirrors frighten away evil spirits who get scared when they see themselves; and if the mirror was broken the protection was lost.

* It's considered bad luck to see your face in a mirror when sitting by candlelight. In your youth did you look at your faces in a mirror with a torch shining below your chin? That was a scary sight!

* Want to see what your future husband looks like? Sit down in front of a mirror and eat an apple before brushing your hair at midnight. An image of a man will appear behind your shoulder!

I was actually thinking of doing it!!! I mean 'me'! When i realized it was day time.. And there were no apples in the home. Felt quite foolish then.
Okay okay, should go offline now. Exams on head *sniffs* but am not going to study like NOW! Will read "This Charming Man" by Marian Keyes.. its fun! ^^

Cya!

Shoes... Colorful n Perfect?



Again.

Eid is just around the corner. Like last year am shoe-less. Mum keeps saying we’ll go, we’ll go. But when?! I whine. Soon, she says. Hope so.

Shoes, for me, are a real problem. I can’t choose. They all look same to me in the store, and I always end up buying boring colors (brown/black/silver/white) *sniffs*. No nice blue, no cute pink, no hot red, no royal purple. Only plain plain plain…. God knows why! Let’s pray I will get colorful shoes for Eid. ^^

At last am watching Confessions of a Shopaholic. Hugh Dancy looks cute *crushing* although he looked weird in Ella Enchanted *confused*. Oh thank you Hafsah! for the movies! ^^

Few days back I was listening to a song which reminded me of Harry Potter series. At 2 AM, I was lost in my cupboard trying to reach Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s stone; it was under all the heavy books. Got it, happily went back to my bed, read a page or two and then zZzzZz. Later when I was supposed to study anatomy, I was having Harry potter attacks (still having them!) Now I so want to see the sixth part. I keep discussing HP with my brothers (as they are the only one who would listen to my stupid chatter). Sirius rocks but he’s going to die, soon =(

Sana, I don’t know why you don’t like Harry Potter series. It’s so awesome *dazzled*

Way better than twilight! *no offense, Edward!

*

Here am trying to win a lost battle because Sana will never like these books =D

Anyways.

Written a few stories, incomplete. I get bored of them and start a new one. Should I post the incomplete ones? =s

Oh about my Eid dresses… I bought Weird colors. A muddy brown with turquoise, a polka dot shirt and Mehndi colored suit. They look nice, though! How about a pair of turquoise colored shoes this year?
