Volunteering at Hospice!

Hello everybody!
It's been a while....I'm so sorry for not posting a lot recently...but you know me...I've been busy with school and Volunteering and a bit of reading. So first I'm gonna make a quick update and then I'm going to talk about Volunteering and the organization I volunteer for.

Update!!!

First of all I am curently reading 3 books. First is "Wonder" by R.J.Palacio, then is "Clockwork angel" by Cassandra Clare (I know...still) and lastly "The catcher in the rye" by J.D. Salinger
Second of all....yesterday I bought "Red Queen " by Victoria Aveyard.


HOSPICE:

What is HOSPICE?
HOSPICE is a Non-governmental organization witch provides medical assistance for childrens and adults diagnosed with a life threatening illness.
How does HOSPICE helps the comunity?
Well......HOSPICE has a lot of services such as Palliative care at home, HOSPICE impatient unit admission, activities in the day centre, physiotherapy treatment, social services etc.
What is palliative care?
Palliative care is specialized medical care for people with serious illnesses. The goal is to improve quality of life for both the patient or the family. If you want to learn more about palliative care click me!
Why I love HOSPICE!
Here at HOSPICE I found a lot of beautiful souls who came here to help the comunity for different reasons. The volunteers from here are all really kind, and they support you. We all create here a really strong friendship and they all became part of my family. #HOSfamily
Events and Campaings:
Again, HOSPICE has a really various number of campaigns, but here are a few of them: The 2% Campaign, The Edelweiss Month Campaign and the charity lacrose "run you for them".
Also, we are curently working with TeleKom, to promote volunteering and palliative care, so if you would like to help us, pleas give a like to this page!

Wrap Up: January 2016

Hello everybody!
This mounth was a really good reading mounth, not because I read a lot of books....because I did not...I read just three books, but becase I read really good books.
The reason why I did not read a lot is because it was the end of the semester, I had a lot of homework to do, and also, besides school and reading, I also have been busy with volunteering.
Anyway, this mounth I read three books and they are:
"Lola and the boy next door" by Stephenie Perkins.
It was a really nice book, and even though I did not like it as much as I liked "Anna and the French Kiss" I still fall in love with the characters and also with the ending of that book.
"Isla and the happily ever after" by Stephenie Perkins
I did not like this one ...pretty much at all...I know.... Plot twist :)))......But I absolutly love the ending.
If you are wondering the reason why I did not like it is because I did not like the characters...don't know why, though. I jus think the first two are so much better.
And the last book I read was "The Queen of the Tearling" by Erika Johansen....I think this book was really good, and I did not expected that....but really... you should read it.
This is my wrap up for the mounth, sorry for beeing late. I'll see you soon, with a diffrent kind of post called Book Haul....again!!!
Question Of The Day: Have you ever volunteered for a company? If yes...what company are you volunteering for?
I would really like to write more about volunteering, so let me know if you woud like to read about that. Have a wonderful week. Bye!
                                                                      XOXO,
                                                                             Diana

OwlCrate Unboxing

Hello everybody!
Guess what! I've got my owlcrate box!!! Yeey!
And today I'm going to unbox it for you. The first thing I want to say, besides that the price was huge, is that it came really fast, and I did not expect that! So I think it is defenetly worth it.
Now the first thing I see is the Owlcrate card, wich looks stunning! On the back is says the things that you will find in the box, so I will not read it just now.
The next thing is a POP figurine.....awwww and I got Dumbledore!!! That is so nice! Even though I would like Ron....But that's amazing!!!!!

Ok....next I have a bookmark...and it has a quote from the Raven Boys books. Unfortunatly I did not read the series, so I do not know from wich book is but is says "She wasn't interested in telling other people's future. She was interested in going out and finding her own". And I think the quote sounds so nice....really.
The next is another art....WoW...That is so nice! This quote is from the Throne of Glass series. And it sounds so pretty. And this two really pretty quotes/art were created by Evie Bookish.
WoW!! A lip balm! awww....and it is a patronus one!! So cool!! This one is from Geek Fire Labs, and it smells amazing.
Now....the big reveal....what book it is going to be?
And the book is "Worlds of ink and Shadow" by Lena Coakley. And it looks like a retelling of the Brontes sisters...I think it is going to be nice. It has a note from the author and a sneek peek of the synopsys is:
"Charlotte, Branwell, Emily and Anne. The Brontes have always been inseparable. After all, nothing can bound four sibilings quite like life in an isolated parsonage out on the moors. Their vivid imaginations lend them escape from their strict upbringing, actually transporting them into their created worlds"
So this is the unboxing guys. Dubledore looks so cool on my shelf. :)))
And this is how they look togheter.
This was a really great experience....but I'm not going to have another box, because it costs a lot! But I think that OwlCrate have great quality objects....and this box was far my favourite. With all this colors and Harry Potter.
Hope you enjoyed, I hope you have the best week, everey week.
                                                                                      XOXO, <3

Birthday Haul/January Haul 2016

Hello everyone!
As you can see, Today (17.01.2016) is my Birthday!!!!
I am finally 16 years old! This year, my sister decided to go with my Harry Potter obssesion, and obviously, he gave me a Hogwarts acceptance letter!!!
And that it is not all. She also gave me a Hufflepuff T-shirt, a Harry Potter a la Hagrid cake(made by her) and "The Hobbit" book by J.R.R. Tolkien.
I did not recieved a lot of books, I think they are actually 2 books. The next one, I've got it from my BFF, and it is "Cries from the Earth" by Terry C. Johnston. And guess what! It got a map. I think books with maps are really uniqe, and I can't wait to read it.
UpDate!(18.01.2016)
Today, one of my friends from school gave me a Hogwarts acceptance letter, and a piggy Bank, to save money for my trip to London.
Also my friends bought me a lot of necklaces, and chocholate! My friends know me too well. I love them.
I am aware that this post is again really short, and I'm thinking to make an "As I read" series. Basically, I just mention the page, and my reaction on them. I'll make this for "The Queen of the Tearling" by Erika Johansen, and I'l see how this will turn up.
Hope you have a great week!

Wrap Up: December 2015

Hello Everybody!
Today, I will show you the books I've read in December. And because it was the winter break, I had enough time to read quite a lot of books. And I'm gonna get started.
The first book I've read was "An Abundance of Katherines" by John Green, and usually, I do love John Green's books, but this one, was not my favourite.
Then I reread "Harry Potter and the philosopher stone" by J.K. Rowling, because, let's face it, it is amazing, and it is the perfect season for reading it.
Next, I have "Aristotel and Dante discovers the secrets of the Univers" by B.A, Saenz and it wasn't how I expected to be... I expected to be more similar to "An abundance of Katherines", but it wasn't... and I don't know if that is a good thing, or not. I don't know what to think about this book. It was good, I liked it...but, again, not what I expected.
Then I read "Quiditch through the ages" by J.K.Rowling and to be honest, I liked the other ones a little bit more. This was quite boring but it was okay.
Then I read "Coraline" by Neil Gaiman and I don't know how but I loved that book. It was short, around 147 pages, and I've read it in about a day. I quite liked it and I did not expected that.
Lastly, I've read "Anna and the french kiss" by Stephanie Perkins, and I think I am in love again. It was such a beautiful read, and this one, I've read it as well in a day, so I think you can already tell how much I like that.
I've also started "Lola and the boy next door" by the same author, and I quite enjoy it so far.
This is it, I've read exactly 6 books, wich is a lot for me.
Merry Christmas, a Happy New Year, and I will like to hear more from you in the comments.
Hope you all have great holidays.
                                                                                     XOXO, <3

Book Haul: December 2015

Hello everyone!
Today I am back with another post. This time I will make a book haul, because this mounth was Christmas (obviously) and I recived quite a lot of  books !
So I am going to put it in two categories. Category 1, are the books I bought in 6th of december, actually they are presents, so they werent bought by me. And the 2nd category, will be the ones I bought on 24th of December.
So let's get in to it:
Category 1:
The first book I have here is "The sky is everywhere" by Jandy Nelson. I do not know a lot about this book, but I can already tell you that this one is the one I want to read next.
The next book is "Lola and the boy next door" by Stephanie Perkins. And we all know it's a part of a trilogy (along with Anna and Isla.). And I do not know a lot about this either, but I do like to get into books that I have no idea what they are about.
Next, I have "Cherry Crush" by Cathy Casidy, I did not heard a lot of things about this. It is a trilogy as well. It is about this girl, called Cherry, who moves to a new city and her family gets bigger. And she and her father, are going to make a chocolate business. It really sounds interesting, and it is pretty short.
Then I have "After" by Anna Todd. First, this book was a fanfiction, about Harry Styles, but it was so popular, that it became a book. And second, it is about college and Tessa's life which changed when she met Hardin.
Next I have My true love gave to me, by a lot of authors, which is a collection of 12 stories happening around Christmas Eve and New Years Eve.
Category 2:
The first book I see is "Attachments" by Rainbow Rowell, and I think you can already see the happines on my face when I said Rainbow Rowell. And it is about two work colleagues, who are e-mailing back and foth. And it is also about Lincoln, a shy IT guy, responsible for monitoring e-mails, who spends his hours reading every exchange. And he will end up falling for one of them. I can't wait to start it.
Then I have "Anna and the french kiss" the first book from the trilogy of Stephenie Perkins.
And I also have "Isla and the happily ever after" by the same author.
And the last book I have, is "The Beginning of everything" by Robyn Schneider. I do not remeber to have heard about this book, but I think is nice. It follows the story of Ezra Faulkner who was supposed to be the prom king, before, haveing a car crash, and falling in love with the new girl , Cassidy Thorpe.
And this is my book haul, it consist in 9 books and I can't believe I've got so many. Usualy I restrict myself to 4-5.
Hope you have a nice day/week/mounth/Christmas, and I also hope you enjoyed this post.
                                                                               XOXO,
                                                                                      <3
