30 things to do when you're bored ♡

Harry Potter Marathon ♡
Hey people of the world! *waves to the world(or anyone reading this..)*

Last week was my school's Hajj vacation and it has come to my realization that sadly, I did not do much. I pictured myself really enjoying the one-week vacation, going to malls, go swimming, well, just doing anything that takes my mind off school. I ended up not going to the mall even once and I was stuck at home. My only pal was the wifi. So, what did I do for the rest of my vacation? Well. I watched marathons, chatted with my friends, read books and thought of ways on how I can make my vacation brighter and better. I really hated how I didn't get to come up with an idea to do so. So, here is a little list of things with what you can do to lessen boredom and brighten up your day. ♡

1. Movie Marathon, great way to waste time. Lets you catch up with your favorite tv show too!
2. Have a dance party with yourself, it's a dance craze!
3. Write a blog, like this one!
4. Learn how to fake an accent, hello mate!
5. Eat, eat.. just.. eat.
6. Read a book, or fall asleep while reading it.
7. Exercise, get rid of that extra fat!
8. Prank call people and tell them you're a potato
9. Do homework
10. Don't press here.
11. Go outside, get a rock, name it Pebbles
12. Make an imaginary friend
13. Sleep. all. day. long

Pretty Little Liars is Back!

Hello liars! It's October 22! You know what that means! Pretty little liars is back! *screams in a high pitched voice*. I may or may not be a big fan of the Pretty Little Liars Series. (: Even though I know what happens in the book, I still wanted to read it. I read up to the 4th book last week and I couldn't fit reading the rest on my school schedule, so I haven't read the rest of the books I downloaded. 

In honor of our five(inc. Alison) favorite liars, I will be answering this tag I found on Youtube!


Who is your favourite character?

Image Source: Fashionchalet.net
It would be Spencer. Although all four of them have gone through bad A times, I believe Spencer handled it well(Okay, not the going to Radley part. Wow, that's a bad example). She has the wits and she makes the decisions I would most likely agree with.

Who do you think is behind the A Team?

Everybody's a suspect in Rosewood, in my opinion. I don't really know. But who I would like to be in the A-Team is one of the four liars. It would be a great plot twist. Just not Aria, everyone's already expecting it to be her.

Who do you ship?
Spoby all the way. Also Ezria, but we just found out Ezra's A! Or is he? But Seriously, I love Spoby.

Most memorably cheesy/stupid moment?

Errrrm. I can't think of any right now.

Favourite villain?


Mona. Mona. Mona. Many might not agree with me, but I want to believe she is on the good side. She was really great as the villain. I do hope she will frequently be on the show.

Who do you think will/might become a villain?

 Paige. Have we forgotten she tried to drown Emily? She's really creepy. 

Which girl do you think has been hurt the most by A?

 Spencer. A hurt her socially and mentally. She even went to Radley because she couldn't take it anymore.

Which girl's style do you love the most? 

 I love Aria's style. It's hip and trendy. I love how she always match up layered tops with  combat boots.

Who's your crush on the show?

Keegan Allen. Tooooby! 

Who is your least favorite character?

 Out of the entire character list, my least favorite would be Jenna. She's just so creepy. Seriously.

What was the most shocking moment for you?

Image Source: ABC Family
Finding out Toby was A. Ohmyguacamole. 

What has been your favorite episode so far?

Image Source: welovesoaps.net
 Unmasked. Just because I loved the scene with Spencer and Mona near the end.

What would you do if A was after you?

Image Source: ABC Family
Freak and have panic attacks.


That's it for the questions/tag! I'm already looking forward to watching the next episode next week! That's it for now! I'll be jumping up and down in excitement in 3.. 2.. 1..

Ladurée - Macaron Heaven

In Paris, the Ladurée chain of pastry shops has been known for its macarons for about 150 years. Ladurée is a French luxury bakery and sweets maker house. It is one of the top premier sellers of the double-decker macaron, fifteen thousand of which are sold every day. They are still one of the best known makers of macarons in the world. 
Well, that gave us some info about Ladurée ! Thanks Wikipedia! (:
But Ladurée  is not just popular in Paris, it has branches all over the world! I first learned about Macarons from photos all over the net. I googled it and wanted to try it since, but I didn't really know where to buy one. When my friend found out the a Macaron shop is located at a nearby mall, I freaked. The thing is, I forgot to ask exactly where the shop was in the mall. The directories of the mall were written in Arabic(well, of course, I am in Saudi), which I could not understand. But after a long walk around the mall, I finally reached my destination, Ladurée. I was looking for a big store which had Macarons displayed on the windows, turns out their branch in that mall was like a mini one!(I've heard they had bigger stores elsewhere in Riyadh). The macarons were 11 SR each. I bought 6 pieces with random flavors, but I didn't get too fancy with the box packaging. I opened it up when I went home, and when I did, some of the sides of the Macarons were cracked. *sob*. Nonetheless, it didn't change the taste. It was sweet, tasty and over all delicious! One of the best desserts I've ever had. 
I managed to snap some shots. (: I used my iPhone in capturing these photos so they're not the best.
