On being MIA

Yes, I realize it has been ages since I last blogged.
Yes, I realize my blog has recently turned into a stream of images and videos.
And no, I will not apologize, however, I will update :p

Where do I begin?

Well, to begin with, I finished my 8 modules for my masters and have officially progressed to "writing" my thesis. Of course, I haven't really started writing yet, but today my lovely sister gave me advice on how to get my lazy ass motivated to start, and I will take it. Actually, I did take it, I printed out calenders as per her advice and have filled them out... just an initial thing for now.

Last month my friend Nan got married in Lebanon. It was a beautiful ceremony and she looked stunning. Words can't describe how happy I am for her and her new hubby.

My friend Umen is preggers, meaning I'll be an auntie again before the end of this year!

My friend Beli's bday passed a few days ago, and this is for her:
HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAPPPPYYYY  BIIIIIRRRTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTHDAY!!!!

I got the Game of Thrones game on Xbox and it is AWESOME =) I think now we all know why I haven't really started my thesis * shameful face*

Apart from that, nothing major has been happening on a personal level.

I miss blogging... but I've been busy pinning on pinterest. It's a labyrinth that sucks you in and you just can not stop.

This must be one of those totally spaced out posts... but at least I posted.

Wondering which book to read?

This website has an interactive guide NPR's list of top 100 sci-fi and fantasy books.

It is awesome. Of course, If you would go through the WHOLE chart, then who am I to spoil your fun?

Enjoy, my dears and darlings, for "winter is coming and fire consumes while ice preserves."

The Seven Kingdoms of Westeros: Amazing map!

This truly amazing and breathtaking map was made by a long-term Westeros.org member names Other-in-law. It has a picture of almost everyone, including The Wall, Ghost the Direwolf, Lord Tyrell and Tyrion Lannister at Casterly Rock, has Jamie Lanister as one of the kings guard at the bottom of the map, Meera hunting for frogs in the Neck, the hound on his horse, and many many more. I think the two characters right below the Seven are Prince Rheagar Targaryen and Lady Lyanna Stark, one representing Fire, the other ice respectively.
