My houses in Harry Potter Pottermore world~

I've been a Potterhead for years since I was a a little girl watching the first Harry Potter movie, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. Until the last Harry Potter movie; The Deathly Hallows Part 2 back in 2011, the hypes on them were gradually in graves; thinking that the story ends there, and all left is the memories of experience in Harry Potter world. Well, it was pretty sad, and of course going back into real life stuff and have responsibilities to do. 

Until this early 2016, Sorting House ceremony flooded my Facebook newsfeed from my friends! Of course, curiosity rose in me and for the first time in my life I heard about Pottermore, an official website made by JK Rowling herself and her teammates; where exclusive information and extra writings, exclusive illustrations, and many more regarding Harry Potter series and Wizarding World were put in there! And of course, including fun stuff like Sorting House ceremony and choosing very own wand via quizzes provided in Pottermore website~ 

The hype and Harry Potter adrenaline in me were back intensified~!

I quickly registered myself in excitement. All new information and stuff I never heard of before are in there~ and they are very fascinating! I figured out my Hogwarts House Sorting ceremony and here it is:

To be honest, I never thought I got sorted into Ravenclaw, which is cool! :D *hashtag*ProudRavenclaw~

My wand is:

Laurel wood with dragon heartstring core, the length of 12 and a half, quiet bendy flexibility

And so, since I love drawing and create character and story, I drew Sarah Rookwood, a character I created at first for fun, and so my friends drew their unique characters based on their houses and traits. Two days later, they decided to establish two rp(roleplaying) groups called Pottermore Roleplay and Hogwarts OC Roleplay. Not to mention it was my first time roleplaying. I had fun and learn more stuff; having new friends mostly from Indonesia and Philippines, and a little from West and Europe~ In the same time, I get to improve my drawing and English language skills! 

Aside from that, I cannot wait to watch "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find them" movie this November 2016! And also a new book, a screenplay of "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child" this July 31st~

On June 28th, JK Rowling revealed a new Wizarding School in North America, Illvermorny! The backstory and the houses are consuming me.

I got sorted into:

I got Pukwudgie! A troll-like creature who has a heart of a gold. 

Although the infos about them are still not much, yet this'll keep us Potterheads anticipated~ 

Thus, I'm a Ravenclaw/Pukwudgie~

My roleplay oc~

Just an oc of the same name, same person; Sarah Rookwood, in two roleplay groups just for fun~ 

I started rp this year, when the first time I knew Pottermore. I was sorted into Ravenclaw, and many of my friends who did the same decided to create rp group named "Pottermore Roleplay Group"; where we rp as our Pottermore characters for fun and stuff and many interesting events had happened as well as meeting new friends~ I've been a Potterhead for years but things died out after the final Harry Potter movie was over. Until the upcoming Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them movie is on the way and HYPE IS BACK~ 

Pottermore roleplay (Harry Potter/Wizarding World universe)

Märchen is my second roleplay group. So kinda second time rp in rp world.

Märchen rp group focuses on fairytale but twisted. The word Märchen is

also used as a "world" connected between each of fairytale books in the Grand Library.

I chose The Lute Player: A Tale from Russia; yeah, a Russian fairytale about the Queen

disguised herself as a man; the Lute Player to save her husband from enemy's captive.

I was in between lazy create new character and familiarity in rp-ing as Sarah Rookwood.

Somehow, drawing this version of Sarah Rookwood is fun though.

Märchen roleplay (twisted fairytale universe)

Beach Party AU

Modern/Reincarnation AU

Roleplaying is also a stress reliever to talk and rp together with friends to me. :3 Although I'm getting busier and busier in real life, at least I do my best to reply them if they happen to rp with me~  Also, I learnt many things in rp; whether English language, drawing skills, comic skills, story-building, and many more~

Notes: 

OC term means "original character".

AU means "alternate universe".

RP means "roleplay" 

Märchen means "fairytale" in German.

Missing my reading habit+my terrible messy bookshelves

It's been like.... 4 years I haven't read books like I always do during my childhood, and my school years. I guess IT (Multimedia) course really focus more on computer/laptop than spending times on reading physical books. 

Now, I'm trying to regain back my reading habit. Reading them makes me fall into the world of imagination and knowledge. I still have old books that I have/haven't started yet/halfway/finished read on my 20-year-old small bookshelf. 

First top level: mostly motivation books, language books, and one history story and etc

Second level (middle): Mostly comics; whether locals or international ones (translated into Malay language), and yep, under Gempakstarz publication. :3

 

Lower one: Mostly fiction books and a few manga and etc. I like all kinds of genre (depends)~ 

Well, everything on this bookshelf looks random and messy, and old. :3 

Not to mention sooner or later I'll buy a new one at Ikea~ I'll buy a bookshelf that doesn't take space much since my work-desk wall is just in front of my left side. That includes colour too since soft or light colour creates spacious atmosphere in room even though the product you bought is large.

Little by little I bought books monthly; especially collecting artbooks. Artbook is a collection of drawings made by particular artists. Of course it is normal for an artist like me buying books with more pictures and less texts to and view them for inspiration and references, and also as a fan/support favourite artists/appreciate the values of artworks. 

With that, I need more bookshelves hmmm... 

Also, with all these, I think it's time for me to do some "sharing books" post or "book reviews" or "my favourite books" post thingy in the near future. :3 

It'll be very interesting and in the same time will keep me motivated and regain back my reading habit up! Hopefully get to update about books weekly or so~

Until then next time~

Warao, off~ ^u^

I'm almost done- (kinda????) QwQ

homeworkkkk on my baby here _(:3_)L 

//so many things to learn+to do, so little time... U_U

LISTS

I think I used to make New Year resolution list every year; and of course, including this early 2016, but I sometimes stopped unproductively. _(:3_)L I feel bad about myself and in the same time tries my best to motivate myself to work and live life on the flow.
