The Last Voyage: Lament #AtoZChallenge



Hello!!!

Another day in the A to Z challenge and another letter and today we deal with ‘L’ and lament our horrid luck.
Just kidding :p



The sound of whizzing that resembled a dying scream was what she heard as her sword dug into the shadowy monster that she dueled with a moment ago.
But that was only a puppet and she knew it. Who’s the master?

The black pitched world began to blur, she was on her ship again in a foggy morning, except she was alone. The ship was abandoned and no sign for her crew.
Her frustration rose to her throat.
“I’m still stuck in this spell?!”

Did she do anything wrong? Is this an act of revenge? Who did she pissed off so much to spin this elaborate sick joke. A rather dangerous sick joke.
Nothing was happening so…how about she burns the whole charade down?
She walked determined heading for the kitchen. The Sea Captain couldn't be sure, yet she was positive her men were in a desperate situation, so far the master of this magic cage has proven to be both powerful and a trickster.

And that he chose her in particular to play his game.

Lament
The choices
Of careful design
Engraving hate on your
 Heart


See you soon :)

Cinquain is a non-rhyming 5-lined poem pioneered by Adelaide Crapsey (1878 - 1914). There are many ways to write it, weather relaying on the number of words or syllables in each line, which makes it always end up in a diamond-like shape. I will be following the two and sometimes a mix of both types.

The Last Voyage: Jack- O-Lantern & Kamikaze #AtoZChallenge



Greetings to you all!

Well, um, yes. You can see I missed the letter ‘J’ yesterday, but I got really busy preparing for a trip, as I told you before. This auntie is heading to another city to meet her first ever official nephew Ramiz :)
I have no idea if I will be able to keep up with the challenge in the upcoming couple of days, let’s just hope no more delays happen.

The Last Voyage: Illuminate #AtoZChallenge



State Of Day. Thank you for all those who congratulated me for becoming a brand new auntie ^-^ although I still haven’t seen my nephew who is in another city, but I will soon, two or three from now hopefully! 
I still don’t know what are my duties as an aunt but I’m positive I’ll do well :) wish me luck.

The Last Voyage: Hope #AtoZChallenge


State Of Day. Today I officially became an aunt. My older brother RoboBro, in the wee hours of this day, has transformed into a father. It makes such cosmic sense that the first child of this man in particular is born in a World Cup year.
RoboBro, you see, is a football fanatic :P
In fact, it is because of him that I was introduced to the fabulous FC Barcelona.

What? Why yes, of course I’m happy :) there’s a new baby in town!

The Last Voyage: E = Enlighten #AtoZChallenge



And the A to Z challenge continues everyone. How are you doing so far?

So I’m trying to visit more/new blogs each day and I came across some really interesting themes and posts :)
But so far, the one I’m enjoying the most is Akshata Ram at askwrites she’s an Indian writer posting about social and personal issues in the life of a women  in Urban India. Quite relatable, smart and sharp.
If you haven’t yet, I suggest you check it out. She answers each comment :)

The Last Voyage: My Birthday and Where I Will Always Belong #AtoZChallenge

source


Hello everyone!

It is B-Day in the A to Z challenge and for the Sea Captain ^-^

Over the years I celebrated my birthday on the 2nd of April on this sweet avenue “I Will Never Give you Up” that I’m saying goodbye to through the A to Z event.
It became kind of a ritual, and this year isn’t different, except it will be my last celebration here. Okay, here we Go!

The Last Voyage: Astrolabe #AtoZChallenge




Hello!

Today my friends I have an important announcement...dun, dun daaan:
I am in the process of closing this blog.
Yes...I said it.

After 5 years I am about to say goodbye to my beloved ‘I Will Never Give you Up.’
I honestly believe it has run its course and life span, and the Sea Captain who started this blog in 2014 is different from the one writing to you now.

But it is obvious, is it not?

Team E and an Announcement



State of Day. This post has been delayed due to internet connection troubles.

Also. I’m really sorry, but I’m officially announcing that I will not be finishing this challenge with you, I don’t want to post things I’m not convinced about and to give it my all means doing badly in my Master research which of course cannot happen. Bottom line is don’t except to see the letters dancing daily on my blog. It is most unfortunate, and I thank you for your support and comments so far.

Your Captain.
..........................................................................................................
Greetings my friends!

I’m posting for you today from a blue box where all the magical things tack-place, we can go to meet our old depressed future versions, or be hunted down by weeping angels, or solve the mystery of a mysterious crack on the wall and maybe dine with Liz 10 as we sale by a freezing star.
Have I made myself obvious enough? Ha!
Today’s team is special and dear to my heart. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Your Captain: The THEME revealer!



State Of Day. Notice I changed decoration? That is what I was talking about back in August 2015.
………………………………………………………………………………………………..



Why Hello there everyone!

I cut this strategic withdrawal to present you with my 2016 A to Z challenge Theme. Now I wish I can say I’m all free and we can chat like we used to do before but alas, I thought I will be through with my research this March but now even April is taken into the loop.
or is it out of the equation?
Good news is–isha’Allah- I will be joining you all in the marathonic A to Z challenge. I would not miss it for the world. Now I doubt I will be as active as last year but I will do my best. Hoping only to keep posting until day Zero.

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.
