-What’s up Captain?

I’m up to no good.

-oh, are you Harry?

of course, hehe.

-mhm, and can you enlighten us to what mischief your planning this time?

um, not really, it’s a surprise.

-your kidding! Oh I’m gonna KILL you!!!

Ha ha!

Life & IWSG

State Of Day. this post went live yesterday on the first Wednesday of July, how it went draft again for the life of me I have no idea! I just hope those in IWSG don't see it as laziness from my part or anything, I was very determined not to miss this month's post. 

.................................................................................................
Greetings my friends & Ramadan Kareem

I did it again, I disappeared. Yea well, that’s how I roll :P

It isn’t because of a lack of topics. In fact many things were going on and I could have made a series of posts if I wanted to. Let me see;

I could have posted about how my team, FC Barcelona won everything possible this season just like I hoped all year long and how they kept their brave promise to us fans; win the treble .

Make way For the Champions & THE Champion Xavi

The boys greeting the fans

So in nowhere else but Madrid we made it. Finally, FC Barcelona, dear FC Barcelona has won La Liga

Thanks to our hero. Only one goal was enough. Lionel Messi strikes yet again

With a ridiculously skilled goal (I can’t stop hitting repeat) against Atletico Madrid in el calderon

TOSOD: And the Award Goes To..

 Heaay! goofing around! We Are the Champions! 

Football wise. Yes we won La Liga but more on that in a separate post :)

Reading wise. I finished Scarlet by Marisssa Meyer and again I appreciate the genius of this woman. Although I’m not sure why a lot of girls were hyping about Captain Thorn? I must confess reading her short story ''Carswell's Guide to Being Lucky'' I was terrified he might charm me more than Emperor Kai. But what I found was that teenage Thorn was a hell of a character whereas his adult is nothing but a shell bossed around by a 16 year old (i.e. Cinder).

……………………………………………………

It’s Reflection Time!

List here

Why hello there! You’re still around? Cool.

This is Captain Haneen’s ever first A to Z challenge reflection post. Through April I have become an expert in 3 swords from the East, Middle Earth and the West, caught a sun ray, crossed the fire chasm, swooned over the power of innocence, turned philosopher and blew the foghorn announcing the Captain I am.

And not surprisingly many many more.

I invaded my city of loneliness room after room and came up with what the lonely poet would put in her notebook. What a journey it was.

IWSG: can I still write?

Visit! :)

The Other Side Of Down. Can you believe I reached 100 posts and I didn’t even notice?!

…………………………………………………………………………………..

Z = ZERO HOUR

At the beginning of this year I decided to be adventurous, and writing a poem for each letter for 26 days on April and actually succeeding is…very adventurous.

I’m impressed. Your Captain is impressed.

And that can’t be but good :)

Y = You!

You!

You are no longer dubbed my heart’s pace-setter

For everything you do is a bolt from the blue!

X = X-ray

State Of Day. Xavi Xavi Xavi! Master O master! And on the X-Day! what a goal on Getafe that was Master. Excellence.

W = Wait

Wait

Wait!

Don’t go

You can’t leave me now

I stopped my life on you

You left me a barren existence

and I suffered

all the woes that followed

so I deserted warmth

Preparing for this meeting

Now that you fell under my radar again

I refuse to let you go

I have a clear shot

 You took his life now I will take yours.

V = Violet

State Of Day. I finally saw My Name is Khan, wow! What a film. I loved the acting, the story, I loved everything. The emotions and tears it stirred in me. Shah Rukh Khan is amazing, one of my all time favorite actors, he got me believing he’s autistic!

Beautiful film. Deserves watching. 

U = Underrated

State Of Day.

What did I tell ya?

FC Barcelona will be running against FC Bayern Munich

Clash of the Titans Indeed!

There is nothing else to do now, what’s done is done

1^st leg 6 May in Munich, 2^nd leg 12 May in Barcelona

It will be brutal, it will be EPIC!

Visca Barca!

……………………………………………………………………….

T = TIME

Between Bayern Munich, *Juventus and Real Madrid I can’t really imagine Braca’s way to the Champions League finals but through a clash of Titans.

*(If I’m a hat wearer I will take mine down for Juve, 12 years since they reached the semifinals, they won it fairly against Monaco. Bravo boys).

S = Sectumsempra!

¡Hola Everyone! The Don has something to say:

Have I told you you were out of this world yesterday?

R = RED & Reading with a hint of Football

Wishing for this to happen again tonight

(MSN) celebrating with a goal for each

State Of Day. PSG are the opponent tonight, Champions League, 2^nd leg, home. After the victorious 3 – 0 in the 1^st leg FC Barcelona is pretty close to reaching the semifinals after this match, unless of course we shoot ourselves in the foot, which is something the team historically prevails in doing.

But no, no, no bad vibes, today is the day of positive energy.

Visca Barca.

Q = QUEEN & 400 again!

Greetings everyone and alsalamu3alaekum

On Saturday I was going all around the place telling the universe how psyched I am for Messi’s newest achievement, his 400^th goal with the colors of the blaugrana.

Yesterday I pretty much did the same on facebook and pinterest so today I’m back to my senses.

I will act in complete grace, maintain my equilibrium, and keep to point with today’s post, the A to Z ‘Q’ poem. And...and..

P = PHILOSOPHY & HAPPY 400!!!

He has done it everyone. Leo Messi today has scored his 400th with FC Barcelona into the net of Valencia on Camp Nou soil, while gave the assist to Suarez’s first goal securing another win for the team 2: 0 in one really difficult match.

O = One Katana & More? :)

State Of Day. Katana again? yes, you know it's my favorite sword, me and StrategyKid. It has a special place in my hall of fame for weapons, it is natural I mention it again on this year's A to Z challenge, it's on my bucket list to go see it in person but don't worry I'm funny-ideas-free.
..................................................................................................

Evening, we are almost there challengers. O was very easy, took me minutes, ha! Looks like I’m getting better and better at this ;) but No! I won’t jinx myself.

N = NONCHALANCE & No, Really Messi?!

State Of Day. 3 – 1, Ha Ha! I was scared over nothing, FC Barcelona won the match against PSG with ease, 2 goals Suarez, 1 Nyemar and what a night it was. Well that’s it with the 1^st leg, and Messi is yet to wait to score his goal no. 400 with Barca :)

400 goals at 27?!! Man how I feel old and pointless. 

Also, Jay Noel; dude! I'm still laughing from your M post yesterday, I should mention it here just in case anyone else's in need of a laugh, thanks :)

………………………………………………………………………………..

M = Minorities

Hello there :) another day on the A to Z challenge and I’m kind of feeling happy after talking too much lighthouses yesterday.

Oh don’t look at me like that? We all have are thing.

L = Lighthouse (like Duh!) + The Lighthouse by Karen Heard too :D

State Of Day. So How To Train Your Dragon 2 was fun to watch. I liked the mirroring that was there between Hiccup and Toothless story arcs. And the younger characters were made much likable than they were in the first movie. I literary hated Astrid, now I think the mature Astrid is interesting. But come on! These boys are in their twenties, you can’t possibly convince me they haven’t got facial hair yet :|

………………………………………………………………

J so Join In There are Keepsakes too ;)

State Of Day. Saw Igor the other day, lovely movie, can’t believe I never heard of it before, anyway I always thought Igor deserved a story of his own. Found the Hunger Games hints hilarious.

………………………………………………………………………………………..

Leave It to The Pro Today A to Z

Oh come on! 

State Of Day. Wooo! What a goal Leo Messi, what a goal :D tonight against Sevilla, the work of legends I’m telling you, 34 goals in La Lega and counting. As for your goal Mr. Nyemar, well, blown away boy, blown away.

……………………………………………………………………………….

I = Isolation

Hello! It’s “I” day and the lonely poet is working hard, I feel like I can go on to Jun like this :) posting a poem a day except on Sunday. let’s all keep it coming, best of luck guys I’m cheering you on  *\o/*

Isolation

A strong word indeed

I have always found it fascinating

In a goose bump-provoking way

In a “Tears frozen at mid shock” way

It hit home even before I fully understood what it means

It applies on me.

Perfectly

H = Hovering...

Hovering…

Memories that refuse to leave

To move to the long-range memory

Hovering for seconds then attacking again

Burnt on my brain?

Living and prosperous

Stay afar

For your own safety

G = Goal

I’m really tired by now, my poems kindda show this, they’re getting bleaker. I’m still here though, can you believe it? :) Hope you like this one.

F = FOGHORN

I’m here, a bit late but now I’ve come :) with another poem including navel info depicting my other life as a Sea Captain.

E = Excalibur and how about some Awesomeness?

State of day. So this post was supposed to be serious, that is until I googled Merlin photos, it somehow turned into a joke and now I’m angrier than I was before. 

What you don’t believe me? see for yourself.

D is for you Doctor

A2Z challenge

State of day. I miss the team, the game and the boys. I miss FC Barcelona. Only one day to go and the fun will start again. The Fifa weeks are always tedious, not to forget dangerous (Alba’s injury last week anyone?).

C = CAPTAIN

State of day. Thank you for the sweeties who wished me a happy birthday yesterday, I’m not really a birthday girl, no parties, ever. I just like to post some balloons on my blog and smile. But when people do mention it; it still brings a nice feeling so thank you from the heart…again.

……………………………………………………………………………

2nd of April: B = Balcony + your Captain’s Birthday

Yay!

State Of Day.  if you’re in a hurry scroll down to today’s poem, if you’re not well, you know your Captain when she lose control, enjoy.

………………………………………………………………………….

IWSG and A = Abandoned

IWSG the awesome group

State Of Day. I’m so happy I’m doing A to Z again this year. The positive energy it breaths into me is unbelievable. Although I still miss Charity’s Doctor Who themed posts from 2014 (I still go back every time I feel nostalgic) but hey, this year we got Crime Fiction, Myanmar and the X-Files, we even have 26 ways to die in Medieval Hungary for God’s sake, so who’s complaining? (no pun intended).

Have or haven’t I just used “no pun intended” successfully?!

Here’s to new experiences.

Wait! Wait! There’s also a surprise that left me cheerful, I guess bloggers are teaming up this year to do all the book research for me, we have Future Inventions, how cool is that?

And if you know of other bloggers doing poetry or a TV show theme please do tell me = extra fun for me.

The Grand Clásico Won and The A to Z theme reveal

Lord!

State of Day. El clásico stands for Barcelona vs R Madrid. It can also be used for any match bringing in a nation’s two top fav teams). 

.....................................................................................................................................................

IWSG: ?!!

State Of Day. Aaaa! Mentally? Not here right now, Barca is rocking it against Via Real! Going to the finals baby :D

.....................................................................................................................

So what are my insecurities so far? I say lack of writing. Just subscribed to Camp NaNoWriMo next April. I think I need it and it’s quite timely for me. I’m outlining the novel again, The League, putting it in better shape this time.

Right now I don’t know if I’m aiming at a rewrite or a process less extreme. The book itself isn’t finished. We’ll see.

I hope your insecurities are less puzzling ;)

Farewell to The Master

State Of Day. On the Man City match last Tuesday Messi oddly missed a penalty and from two tries! ouch. Not surprisingly he took it pretty hard.

after the miss :(

But...yesterday against Granada in La Lega he scored an effortless goal that got him all smiling again. Welcome back Leo.

And it was from quite a while yes but I’ve received the Liebster Award, my ever first award yay! More on this in a coming post, thank you Tyrean Martinson.

.............................................................................................................................................................

Beautiful Creatures: Farewell

The 3 Chapel Hill innocent victims 

Dear

Deah Barakat, his wife Yusor Abu Salha and her sister Razan Abu Salha

Our three winners

May Allah bliss your souls, grant you Jannah and gather you on his final day with those who believed and those who died for his and his prophets sake.

Farewell brother and sisters

I pray we all meet somewhere prettier, somewhere pure and much happier.

Inalillah wa ina ilaehi ragi’on 

IWSG: The Deadly Pattern

I need some Me time

State Of Day. How many new experiences can a girl handle in one week, really? I feel exhausted.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

But Why my dear Hobbit? WHY?!

You knew I had the heart for you my dearest hobbit, so why did you had to go and break it?

Now what am I ever going to do with my life?

State Of Day. Hyperventilating… Hyperventilating.

........................................................................................................

I had it coming. Of course I did! I knew everything and yet went in unprepared. But what difference would that make anyway? It was going to hurt all the same.

Nothing would have eased the pain I underwent watching Battle Of The Five DARN Armies!

Why do I keep doing this to myself? I feel like a bloody punching bag!

I was left numb, zombie like and drained post movie. I looked so terrible StrategyKidI thought I was going through a mental breakdown.

But you can Not blame me. God! The sadness that engulfed my heart. But I must be strong, I must not let this beat me I MUST NOT!

IWSG "Be adventurous"

First Wednesday of the month and it’s time for the always surprisingly encouraging IWSG post!

I mean how could talking insecurities be encouraging?…haha..got the joke? NO? forget it.
