Thorin son of Thrain son of Thror Oakenshield
Race: Dwarf
Book: The Hobbit by J. R. R. Tolkien

This noble dwarf has got his fair share of hard life and bad luck. Thrown out of his own home where he was once a prince surrounded by all kinds of pleasure & ease, a time of richness he described amazingly by;

"the poorest of us had money to spend and to lend, and leisure to make beautiful things just for the fun of it"

THWC: If you have an injured leg


 

Muscles injuries are very annoying, like freaking annoying! Especially if you push yourself too hard and ignore your doctor orders (like me that is) so today I got these humble advices for you my fellow runners, from my own experience -things I learnt the hard way:

  1. If you have an injured leg don’t dance. Seriously it will only make it worse.
  2. If you have an injured leg try not to sit crossing your legs (or bent it in any way if possible), it will hurt after a while so be wise.
  3. If you have an injured leg try to avoid long walks but use a compression sock if you have to, it will feel much better. And of course I don’t need to tell you NO RUNNING for you baby!!!
  4. If you have an injured leg use bags of worm water for 10 minutes, repeat as you please, Oh it gives a good fussy feeling and it helps reduce the pain.
  5. If you have an injured leg make sure you eat your veggies, fruits, drink milk and have enough protein daily. Good diet speeds up the recovery.
  6. If you have an injured leg always keep a relief gel handy, trust me you will need it, try Rofenac or Deep Heel, they are really good.
  7. Finally If you have an injured leg, or any kind of sport injury be slow with your body it’s important to listen to it and to the signs it gives you, because when it comes to injury it’s the body who is smarter than the brain.

I hope you all stay well and injury free :)

Bilbo Baggins

Martin Freeman as Blibo in The Hobbit


Bilbo Baggins son of Bungo Baggins and Belladonna Took.
Race: Hobbit
Book: The Hobbit by J. R. R. Tolkien.

It is a truth universally known (says me) that Captain Haneen (me that is) has an incurable crush on a hobbit called Frodo Baggins, but it looks as though she will be diagnosed with a second case involving yet another Baggins.

The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien: Review


State of day. Up on Natalie Whipple’s blog there’s a lovely story from her childhood, check it out.
………………………………………………………..............................................................


5 STARS - LOVED it


So this is my first review on my blog, and I think it ran a little wild, sorry but the Hobbit is Sick dude!

You can’t accuse a Sudanese girl born in Saudi Arabia in the eighties of living in a bomb shelter for not coming across The Hobbit, more than you can accuse Harry & Hermione of that since they knew nothing about the tales of Beedle the Bard. The brothers Grimm stories were the European classics I knew but Tolkien books? No! sorry doesn’t ring a bell, you hit me in a blank place. Should I say more?
What can I say about The Hobbit? Such a perfect book that happens to be the Lord of The Rings on a smaller scale.

The best dialogue ever with catchy lines and everything, best descriptions, wonderful creatures, swords with ancient histories and songs

Poetry people Poetry!

I loved the maps and moon letters, and elf cities and dark woods, and different languages Ah!
(Elrond, graceful as usual makes a tomboy girl like me too ashamed to speak)

I LOVE FANTASY!

Remember in The Two Towers movie, the battle of Helms Deep when Legolas skates down the stairs on a shield shooting arrows at Orks? Well I remember saying to Strategykid that this is how skateboarding was invented. It was a joke of course, I had no idea that Tolkien have mentioned the invention of golf and well known proverbs in his book, 

That was SO cool :D

5 for Promises & Upcoming Fun Stuff


Status. It was a shock what happened in the Boston Marathon. Marathons are great races, people challenge their selves to the max as they cross it, it’s a great invention and worthy of respect, and for this wonderful activity to become a target of bombers and such lunacy it sadness me very much.
………………………………………………………………………………………………….
Greetings everyone


Today I’m passing by to inform you of my coming posts because well that will turn it into a promise and then I’ll be obliged to bring it on (is this expression right here? I have no idea).

Well guys the truth is I’m the worst when it comes to consistency, my focus is that of a newborn and I suck at keeping promises, unfortunately this is how my brain functions which also sucks, but I’m still learning to act like normal people do in baby steps that is (Yohoo! remember Flexibility? My 2013 theme), it’s either go slow on myself or I will fall in flames to rock bottom, and honestly been there done that a million times so Nop! Thanks, not interested, I refuse to visit that pleasant place again.
Now that I got that out of my system it’s time for the fun stuff:
1- first to all my writing/reading friends I promise I will shut down completely about any FC Barcelona matters (facebook not included) till after the second leg match in the Champions league with Bayern Munich, meanwhile I will be going all Hobbity Bilbo-Bagginsy on you and spread the love of that great book and those wonderful little creatures, and these are the posts I have on mind:
a) A book review.
b) Bilbo Baggins.
c) Thorin Oakenshield.
d) my own drawing of Bilbo Baggins. I think it’s about time I show you guys some of my art work, I just hope I’m as good as I was because it’s been while since I did a serious drawing, I also fear some scan issues to slow up the process but I’ll keep an optimistic smile.

2- For my FC Barcelona loving friends no fears I have a lot in store for you, my coming post-other than on the games of course no matter what the result of this semi final may be- are all fun and also will appeal to my Writing audience…yup it’s that same post I talked about in January (see what I mean about keeping promises and newborn focus?) it’s just that this particular post turned out to be trickier than I thought, but now that I’m offering it on the table again it must be, and by the way it’s far too long and includes many photos so I will probably cut it to two or three posts, the more the merrier right? :)

3- I also mentioned I will be finishing Tolkien’s trilogy in April too, well it looks like that’s not going to happen but no troubles I just want to be done with all The Hobbit stuff then there will be even more Ring matters to talk about . And of course my Frodo :”)

4- I want to add a new page to my Blog…that’s a secrete and you will see it when the Bilbo post comes. hmm what? Yes! I’m aiming at teasing you here so Ha!

5- Okay :) away from Rings and football I’m thinking of a post about three of my favorite Blogs and bloggers. And a “what my characters has done to me” kindda thing :)

Well that’s all for today and I hope you enjoy the rest of your week in peace and getting busy doing silly if productive projects whatever they are :)
