The intimidating TBR tag

Hello there!

           For the past couple of days/weeks,I've been struggleing with writeing a blog, not because of school or anything, but because I have way to many ideas of posts, but I don't have the patience to sit down and write.  But here I come with a book tag, because I haven't talked about this topic in ages!!
           The intimidating TBR tag:


1. A book on your TBR pile you haven't finished:

Pride and prejudice. I know....you probably think I'm a terrible person, but I've tried twice to read and at a certain point it gets slow, and it dirves me mad. And I relly want to like it.....I just can't get through it.


2. A book you just haven't had the time to read:

I'm going to say "The Hobbit" by J.R.R.Tolkien just because it's just a tiny little bit slow and I just need the time, where I sit and read. Maybe an audiobook would also help.


3. A book you haven't read because it's a sequel:

Here we go again, me being a terrible person, and I will say "Clockwork prince" by Cassandra Clare. Again, high fantasy (oh well, more like urban fantasy and steam punk) and I just need the time and read this kind of books. And this is frustrating because I loooooovvvvveeee "Clockwork Angel".


4. A book you haven't read because it's brand new:

Probably "Something in Between" by Melissa de la Cruiz. She is one of my favourites authors, I don't know what it is, I just love her books, and this book came out in America on 4th of October, but I haven't seen it yet in Romania.


5. A book by an author you read previously but you didn't really like:

Anything by Anna Todd, I've only read "After" by her, and It's a bit too much drama for me.


6. A book in your TBR plie that your just not in the mood to read:

For this, I think I'm going to say any Classic. I only read classic in very special ocasiones, and this ocasiones are usually if I'm in the mood for them. But I gotta say that I love "Sherlock Holmes" adn I try to read it as often as I can.


7. A book in your TBR plie that you haven't read because it's enormous:

For this, I'm going to say a series, and that is "Outlander" by Diana Gabaldon.


8. A book on your TBR pile you bought because of the cover:


Dunno, I usually buy books because of their reviews....hmmm...I think "Watership Down" by Richard Adams.


9.The book on your TBR you find most intimidating:

Anthing that I need to read for school is intimidating for me, especially if it's a long book, because I'm a slow reader and because I know I won't finish the book on time and I will eventually be spoiled.

OK, so this was it, I curently have a cold, and I'll try my best to write many blogs right now.
On October 2nd, I had an year since I first started this blog. And lastly I want to say that I started an instagram accoun for the blog, again, but this time, with Instagram being so nice an alowing me to easily swich accounts, I'll try to post more regularly.
The account is simply called @thestreetoffiction .
Thank you for reading, I hope you have a wonderful day! Bye!

                                                                                 XOXO,

Misunderstanding

Hello everyone!!
Today I want to talk about another topic that it just randomly (or not) poped into my head.
Recently, I got into a fight with my best friend. And it wasn't even a fight it was a misunderstanding of a snap that I've sent.
Now don't get me wrong. For the longest time, I thought that social media is a great way of keeping up with old friends, and I still think that. (I sound like an old ladie....LOL) But sometimes, the massege that you sent might not sound like you wanted to.
Now it happend to me that a certain person (another really close friend of mine) that I don't get to see really often, but we still talk a lot on social edia, told me one time that "You are not okay. But I'll give you a big hug when I'll se you.". And indeed, it was a time when I did not felt really well. And I'm so grateful, that I have a friend like him, that saw right trough that massege.
However, it also happend to me thatsomeone asked me if I was okay, only bcause I was using too many suspense dots. But this is how I usually talk on social media.
My point is, you either are going to talk to the person face to face, or you are going to think what they might understand from that, and if it rally is important to send that. Cuz' sometimes misunderstanding might cost you a frienship that you can't find anywhere else. Anyway, I think that everything is ok now, but I really don't know for sure.
I hope you have a wonderful week and let me know if you have any other things to add in here.
P.S.: I want to post twice a week, I believe on Tuesday and Friday, hope is good for you too.

Anonymity

Helo humans!
Today I want to talk about a subject that came in my mind while I was listening to a sad song. Deeeeeeeepppp! Anyway!!!
As you can see fron the title of this post, it is about anonymity. Why we do it?
First of all, I want to say that for almost half a year this blog was anonymus until one of this post was shared on facebook and I said screw this, my name is Diana Visinescu and if you do know me, it means you are an amazing person and you most probably mean a lot for me.
So why we do this? Because we think we are ugly and we think we are going to be judged? Most of the people that write or make videos on anonymatus, will end up revealing their face at one point so if you are scared of being judged or that you will lose followers, you should get over it because your true friends will stay with you and that is the most important thing.
Why else do we write like this? Because we are affraid that of we express oureselves we are goong to be judged? Well things like this happen all the time. We are so terrified of being judged that we forget to do what we love, and share this with the world. And is soo wrong to act like that. There is always going to be someone out there who will criticise you. You can't do anything about those haters, but YOU CAN stop this getting to you. Ignore them and if you have any social media, take a photo with a bumblebee drown on your hand and use the #fictionalbumblebee so I know we are in this together. The # is rally random but most of you already know about my obsession for bumblebees.
To be honest I'm scared to post this but whooo carrreeesss...right? If I can inspire at least one of you I would be more than supercalifragilosticexpialidoucious.
Wow...this post was intense.
Hope you have a wonderful week and I'll talk to you soon! Luv yea! Bye!

Anxiety hit me and a short announcement!

Hello there guys!
First, I wanna start this post by saying sorry for missing so much. The reason behind this dissaparition is because this past couple of mounths I was in a terrible mood. I felt really sad for no reason and even if my friends were always there, supporting me, I was still felling lonely and useless. I still feel a little bit like that, but I'm back and I'm gonna be fine. I promise this won't happen again. Not for this long, anyway.
Now moving on to the announcement. I'm thinking of starting the "Be a tourist in your fictional hometown" mounth soon. The only thing is: I am not really well prepared for this. So I was thinking that maybe we could leave this for September or Octomber.
Two reasons why this could still be amazing:
1.Everything is better in autumn.
2.Even with the school started, you can still travel.
So I think this is what am I going to do. I really really wanna do that, and so far I have nothing important for the mounth of August, therefore I'll be having plently of time to organize everything.
Thanks for understanding everything.
I hope you have an amazing (×♾) week and I'll see you really soon with a wrap uo, perhaps, I don't know...ok, bye!!!!!!!!!!
               XOXO,
                    Diana V.

Be a tourist in your hometown

Hello everybody!
Today I decided to share with you an idea that I've been trying to develop for better than 2 weeks. Now, I've got this idea 1 year ago, but at that time, I didn't had the motivation to do that, and I don't know what happend but now I do.
What is this all about?
Basically, all you have to do is to visit as much as you can from your hometown. I'm planing on visiting my town in about 3 days, and I'll try to see as much as I can only in this 3 days, but you can do it for a week or even the whole mounth.
When?
I don't know right now when exactly I'm going to put this project on move, but it will most probably be either next mounth or in August. Either way, be sure I'll be anouncing this a week before the actual "event".
What I want you to do for this?
Post in the comment photos with you visiting your hometown or if you want to put them on Instagram or twitter please, please, please tag me or/and add #touristinyourfictionalhometown.
You can find my social-media on the "contact me" page. If you are wondering why is there "fictional hometown" is because every town is beautiful and it looks like it is out of a fictional world, no matter where you live. :D
Hope you have a magnificent week, have fun and see yeah soon!!! :*
                                                                                                 XOXO,
                                                                                                        Diana V.

3 things to do while volunteering

Hello there beautiful people!
Here is a short post for you! So...most of you already know that I volunteer at HOSPICE Casa Sperantei, and you already know that I definitely recommend to volunteer at least once a year. I've searched a bit the Internet, and there is no post that says what to do when you volunteer. And yeah, it might sound strange that I'm telling you what to do...but here are just 3 easy things that I want you to do while volunteer, because it is free!
1. Whatever you do...do it with love: I know...It sounds so clichee...but it is true. Whether you are taking care of someone, or just create something that later on will be sold... do it from your heart. Don't expect anything back, and just do it because you want to.
2. Stop for a second and look around: Again whether you are taking care of someone or you are having a crafting session, like I mainly do, take a break and look around. Look at all this volunteers that are here for the same reasons as you are. To help making the world a better place. Now that you see all this it is time for the last step.
3. Smile: Do this simple move, because I'm sure you found 1-2 volunteers that you are friends with, or if you got the luck I had (and I really hope you do), up to 15 really good friends (and they know who they are). I am really grateful for the friends I have made, and I am really happy that I was lucky enough to find them . They help me whenever I need
and I always try to do the same, even though I'm not sure it works. Also, I am forever grateful for my sister, who got me into volunteering, and told me that it is going to be fun, and she was so right. I am always having such a great time in there, and knowing that at the same time I'm helping someone makes me even happier.
I really hope you will do this things next time you volunteer somewhere, and I really hope that you are doing so very well. Remember! You are never alone. Always talk to someone you trust, because it forever helps.

                                                                                      XOXO,
                                                                                                Diana V.

Wrap Up:April 2016

Hey guys!
This mounth was pretty full for me, but I still got to read some books :)
I'm gonna get started then.
The first book I've read is "The statistical probabilty of Love at first sight" by Jennifer E. Smith...and I loved it... mainly because I went for a week in London, and I related to the main character sooo much. YEAH... I did not sit near a cute guy...but the trip was really nice. And I got a Ron Weasley wand(wich this is really out of the subject). I gave that book 4/5 stars just because it was a little bit clichee...but you know ... I do enjoy this type of books.
Next I've read "Percy Jackson and the Lightening Thief" by Rick Riordan and I absolutly love it....I am not sure if I said this before on this blog, but reading Percy Jackson is like rereading Harry Potter....but with Greek Gods....Kind of...I don't know...I really like this series and I can't wait to read the next ones. 5/5 stars for this one.
Lastly, I've read "Between Shades of Grey" by Ruta Sepetys and even though you could see that coming... it still was a beautiful book with a really strong message and I absolutly loved this one as well. And I'll also rate it 5/5 stars.
So...even if I didn't read that many books, I still really enjoyed all the book I've read and also, I am not sure how much I am going to read this mounth because I have my finals, though I'll really try to post updates or at least one book review.
Hope you have an amazing week, and let me know what you read this mounth.
                                                                     XOXO,
                                                                         Diana
