Hello again! I like movies with kung-fu fighting scenes, so no wonder I watched Flying Swords of Dragon Gate. You can also read more about this movie in the Wikipedia page i just linked. This is a movie from 2011 featuring Jet Li, as you can see in the poster below. Apparently, this movie is part of a trilogy, and I have yet to watch the other 2 movies. Poster for Flying Swords of Dragon Gate. not my image. I must say my notes on this movie are all over the place, but I will try my best to put my thoughts in order for this post. In any case, you'll walk into spoilers from this point onward. I'm...
Typewriter - (series on Netflix) opinions and review
Guys! Guys! You probably know of Bollywood, India's movie industry. Guys! Typewriter is an Indian show, made for Netflix and if you like ghosts, I URGE you right now to go watch it. Marathon style! I don't want to spoil you too much, so i'll try not to while talking about it. However, this webserie is really good, perfect to watch before or around Halloween, since there are ghosts involved. What can I say is that the spoilers are below the image and I'll try not to be too detailed, but I have to talk about it. I repeat myself because I finished watching it last night and I liked every second of...
This is a new taste testing entry. Yesterday I was in the mood for some tea. I had to buy some food so i went to the tea isle to see if i can find some tea I might be interested in drinking. And to my surprise they had a flavor I don't remember seeing before - sour cherry and vanilla! As I mentioned in my previous entry about teas in Romania, different aromas in a tea is not what Romanians have been drinking traditionally. Vanilla is an especially "fancy" flavor, and combined with sour cherries .. it's not something you'd often see people drinking here. The packaging is standard in appearance,...
Hello all! In 2018 I discovered I liked sewing and DIY projects. Sadly, some of my projects would have looked much better if they were done with a sewing machine, such as the pocket on my home pants from this entry. Or I would have finished this pillow case much faster. I pushed a little, and mother decided she'd get me one for Christmas. I searched online for one I would like to own and I found this site selling many brands and models of sewing machines, and many of them were on sale, including the one I chose, made by German manufacturer Veritas, model Janis. This sewing machine looks a lot like...
If you remember some of my previous posts, you know that I like testing new stuff. This time I taste test another tea! It's with green apples and Melissa, and I was really excited to check it out! You can head over to this post to read more on tea in Romania, so I won't have to repeat things. You probably also remember I taste-tested another tea flavor, with sour cherries and vanilla. That one was really full of flavor. How is this new tea then? Scroll down! The packaging is standard for the teas we can find here. The aroma is yet again a rather fancy one, compared to the teas Romanians traditionally...
Hello all! This site was getting dry at the time when this post was originally made public. Here comes the new movie from Netflix, Feel the Beat, to the rescue! It was per chance that i found this movie, and i'm glad i did. Also, if you want to allow your kids (if you have them) to watch a movie, i think this was marked as for those over the age of 7 or 8. Growing up (not coming of age) is one of the themes of this Feel the Beat movie. Let's spoil the show a bit, shall we? Sofia Carson plays April, a chorus dancer on Broadway. She wants to land a major role in a production for which she auditions....
Hello people! Today we have another tarot card interpretation. Today we have the Two of Swords from the same Shadowscapes deck i own. This entry doesn't have snippets of the card, because they're broken on the official site. Instead, i used another image i found on there. If you want to see the card for yourself, please use the link above. What do we see? This card is rich as far as the imagery goes, including the colors used. I can't really say there is something that jumps at me first when I look at the card. I'll mention first the colors i see: purple, brown, yellow, dark gray, and some off-white....
Hi all! Elsa Schiaparelli's Private Album is a "coffee table book." I don't really know what a "coffee table book" is, but i think this one counts as that. I don't have an actual coffee table and i don't have a proper bookshelf either. Most of my books are resting on the wide window sill. I have at least 2 windows I don't use because it's not practical, one in each room. I mentioned this book briefly on my blog, in the My Crafting Book Collection post. I learned about Elsa from the book in the lower-left corner in the picture above. I became intrigued by her creations because they were wild for...
Hello! Those who own the Shadowscapes tarot will notice that Stephanie likes using a red ribbon in her deck. This red ribbon adds yet another layer of meaning to the cards we see it on. It's mostly things we need to keep in mind, pay attention to, be wary of... Sometimes, the ribbon is rather obvious and at other times, it can go almost unnoticed. Because it is featured quite a lot, and because it can point to so many things, it's important to know a bit more about it. Interpreting the red ribbon is not easy. But this presentation is a start. I hope. It's good to keep in mind that the red ribbon...
I know you were expecting a presentation of one of the cards or one of the symbols. That's brewing for next week [hopefully]. This week, I will help you "learn how to read the tarot" cards. The process is rather long, but it can help you see other aspects of a situation, or new ways of doing the same thing. I will have to tell you from the start that not everyone can do it, and most definitely not with all the decks. Or perhaps they just didn't discover the right one yet? [boring backstory] Many years back I had an oracle deck, and the meanings of each card was pretty straight-forward: whatever...
