HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

I'm so excited for this New Year! I have decided I'd only make a few resolutions that are not only realistic but also a little challenging. 
And one of those New Year's resolutions is not only keeping up with this blog, but making it bigger and better. I've completely redone it and have made myself a schedule so there's something to post every day! 


And because I want to, I'll share that schedule with you below. . .
(one of the following will be that day. Not all.)

___________________________________________________

Sundays:

  • Weekend Warrior - This will be a feature I do that will show what I did over the weekend, [if I did something worth sharing] such as DIY crafts, day trips, made a new recipe...whatever! :)
Mondays:
  • This Week in Books / In My Mailbox [basically the same thing, but it'll be called the first one.]
  • Author Spotlight
  • Book Review
  • It's Monday, What Are You Reading?
  • Books for Thought
Tuesdays: [I will not post anything book related on this day. At all.]
  • Tune Tuesday
  • Movie, Music, TV Show or Drama review
  • Movie, TV Show, Drama or Music Spotlight
Wednesdays:
  • Waiting On. . . 
  • Random Post
  • Food, Craft, etc. . .
Thursdays:
  • Book Review
  • Thursday Question
  • What's New In. . . [This is a feature I'll do to showcase what's new in the world of entertainment, or even me.]
Fridays:
  • Wrap-Up [This will be bi-weekly or once a month. Not every week.]
  • Song, Show, Drama or Movie of the Week
  • Get to Know Me! [I'll find a quiz somewhere online and post it here answering them so you can get to know me a little better!
Saturdays:
  • Smitten on Saturday [This used to be hosted at Another Book Junkie, but she no longer runs her blog so I'm taking over this meme. Every Saturday, you post a book to TV/Movie stud that you are smitten with. It doesn't have to be a hottie, just someone who wins you over one way or another!]
I'm reigining in the New Year by updating this blog, listening to music and watching Rockin' New Year's. I'm not a party girl, I'd rather, stay warm in my room and watch the madness from afar. lol.
How are you bringing in the New Year's? And how was your Christmas [or whatever you celebrate], btw!? Did you eat lots of food, have a great time, get lots of goodies, give lots of goodies?

I'm so excited to be sharing this new journey with the rest of you bloggers! 
Lots of love!! Check back later on because I'll be posting my Top 10 Kpop albums of 2012! And next Tuesday will be my Top 20 Songs of 2012! ♥ ^_^~

How Does it Look?!

Whew, that took much longer than I thought to get everything how I'd like. Making the social network buttons (to your right→) the header (up there↑), my new signature, rating system and more. The only thing I have left (hopefully) are the navigation buttons at the top. For now, I'm leaving it as basic type font.
Hope you don't mind! ^_^"

My first actual post will be January 1st. I'll have two actually, one ringing in the New Year and then another with my Top 10 K-Pop Albums of 2012!

So, tell me what you think and if something seems off to you, or just doesn't work, let me know!!

I hope you had a beautiful Christmas and I hope you have a magical New Year!!!


Lots of love!

New Camisado Mind. . .

I'll be doing a complete overhaul of this blog during the rest of December and starting January 1st, I'm going to bring in the New Year by posting my top 10 favourite K-POP albums and Top 20 favourite songs from this year! (Which will include any song from 2012. No matter the genre or country of origin!)

Then I'll be posting a few reviews, in my mail box post and more.

So, for today and the rest of the week, excuse the mess! ^_^"

To My Grandma, I miss you!

{For you}

You've always stood out.
You've always been a lone bird.
You've finally taken flight.
You're finally in your own world.

You'll always be missed.
No one can replace.
You're kind of the perfect person.
No smile on any face.

A secret tear.
A real dream.
A final breath.
A flowing stream.

There's never been a single moment.
Not a single word.
No one can deny you're gone.
No one can deny you're here.

Forever is a long time.
Forever wasn't long enough.
A beautiful memory.
A beautiful love.

A life taken so long ago.
Still feels like yesterday.
You're finally in your own world.
You've all but flown away.




{This is a poem I wrote in remembrance to my grandmother who passed away from brain cancer in 2005. Today, October 24th, is her birthday. If I could, I'd tell her how much I love and miss her. Appreciate the amazing love she had for me and every one else. The woman who loved her birds, Elvis Presley and old western movies. Played basketball with her grandsons and always made me smile. The woman who will always be in my heart. Forever. And always. I love you, Grandma. I love you dearly.}


HAPPY BIRTHDAY, GRANDMA!! I love you!! ♥
