The Sunshine Award (again)


image above was made by Bethan

This is the second time I'll be doing the Sunshine award...thank you so much to Sarah from Sarah Plain & Average, and to Eve from Eve of Womanhood.
The rules:
-Thank the person who nominated you.
-Answer the questions the person who nominated you asked.
-Nominate a few other bloggers.
-Write the same amount of questions for the bloggers you nominated.
-Notify the bloggers you nominated on their blog.
-Put the award button on your blog. (I'm gonna skip this last rule)

EVE'S QUESTIONS:

If you could live in a fictional land (like in a book or movie), which one would it be and why?
-Answer: OK, a lot of people use that question for their award question, and I'm always stubbed by it. So...I don't have an answer.
Favorite book?
-Answer: I'm afraid I can't choose between Divergent and The Hunger Games. In fact, there are so many wonderful novels/books (the literature world is big indeed) and I can't choose at all. I love them all...and let's not forget the Bible. It has so many captivating stories.
Do you believe in fairies? -says in Wendy's British acent- ;)
-Answer: This may disappoint a few, but no. Sorry, Tinker Bell.
What is your favorite food?
-Answer: All kinds! But I probably love chocolate, ice cream and pizza most. So very healthy, I know.
What time period do you think you would fit in most? Why?
-Answer: Right now, because pretty much, I love my life. (Most of the time.)
Biggest pet peeve?
-Answer: Washing dishes.
Are there any Fandoms that you're not crazy about?
-Answer: Yes, there is. Doctor Who is a fandom, I believe, and I am not crazy about it. And, let's see...some people say that they are in the fandom of Pride & Prejudice, which I am not, because I haven't read the books or watched the movies. Also, I'm not crazy about Lord of The Rings.
What is the weirdest dream you've ever had?
-Answer: (One) of the weirdest dreams I've had is weird because, even these days, I still wake up and think it's real even though I have only had it once. It goes like this...It was my fourth birthday party, and there was a huge ice cream cake. I couldn't finish my piece, so I put it in the freezer, for later. I woke up believing it. So I ran to the freezer to look for it, and it wasn't there. The problem was, it was so real.
I was four when I had that dream, and I still wake up thinking that it's real sometimes. And then it hits me. Don't laugh. About it having to come to me again every time, or about how strange and awkward I sound when I explain my dreams. Haha...
What is something you're going to miss about Summer?
-Answer: Well, where I live, it's Winter right now. But I can tell you what I am busy missing about Summer:
1. I can't swim anymore. The water is too cold...
2. The sunshine. It's a lot sunnier in Summer where I live - during Winter is rainy season.
3. The watermelon. I love watermelon.
4. The sound of the fan at night. (That sound lulls me to sleep, and we're not supposed to have it on in Winter)
5. Shorts. They are just so comfortable...
6. The holiday spirit because Christmas is just around the corner. (Yes, my Christmas is in Summer)

And, that is the end of the lovely Eve's questions. 

SARAH'S QUESTIONS:

What color are your eyes? What would your dream color be (if any)?
-Answer: Well...some people say that my eyes are green, and some say blue, but mostly grey. So, I have grey eyes. My dream color would probably be a deep, but quite dark, blue...like it says in the book Divergent by Victoria Roth, about Tobias's eyes: a dreaming, sleeping, waiting color.
How tall are you?
-Answer: Somewhere in the 5's. (Measuring in feet)
If you could be ONE fictional character, who would it be and why? (This applies to books and films)
-Answer: That's hard. I can't say.
Would you prefer a walk in the sunshine, or a stroll by the light of the moon?
-Answer: Me? I think I'd prefer a stroll by the light of the moon, but I do so enjoy sunny walks as well.
What would your dream profession be? (For example, if my life had taken a different path, I would have wished to become a professional ballerina.)
-Answer: To be honest, I love what I do. Don't have any other dream profession...but I'm finding new things out about myself all the time, so we'll see.
What is at the top of your To-Be-Read pile, or skyscraper?
-Answer: Hmm...there are a lot of books I'd like to read...but. I. Don't. Have. One. In. Particular. Can you believe that? I always have, and now I don't. Maybe Pride & Prejudice.
But please be a dear and suggest books to me in a comment below!
If you had a "pet" dragon, what color would he/she be? And what would his/her name be? Feel free to be creative.
-Answer: She would be blue, and I would call her Alaska. (The name Alaska from one of John Green's books "Looking For Alaska". I was inspired)
If you were to discover that you were the long-lost princess of a distant realm, what would be your first reaction?
-Answer: Disbelief.
What is your favorite book of the Bible? Favorite verse?
-Answer: Psalms has always been my favorite, because it's like poetry...nah, it is poetry. David was very artistic. I don't have a favorite verse. Maybe 'For God so loved the world' - that verse, because it's comforting to know that He sent Jesus for me. And everyone else. For everyone.
Do you have a dream car? If so, what is it?
-Answer: Definitely a cream colored mini cooper. I love those cars.

MY QUESTIONS FOR THE PEOPLE I NOMINATE:

1. Do you believe in the phrase/saying: what doesn't break you makes you stronger?
2. Are you a chatty person? -Or- a quiet person who thinks a lot?
3. Do you like freckles, or not?
4. What food would you most like to eat right now? (You can choose anything, don't limit yourself to what is in the house.)
5. What song gets stuck in your head most?
6. Are you a collector, of anything?
7. Do you have a favorite actress? Who is she?
8. Are you left handed or right handed?
9. Tigers or lions?
10. Would you rather read a fictional novel or a historical novel?

Sunshine Award

this is my sunshine award image that I just felt like making (image my own). feel free to use it if you're nominated

this is the sunshine award image I got off Brooke's blog 

The lovely Brooke nominated me on her lovely blog for the Sunshine Award...thank you so much, Brooke!
First thing first, the rules:
→Thank the person who nominated you and link to their blog.
→Answer the questions they asked you.
→Nominate other bloggers.
→Give them a list of questions.
→Let them know that they have been nominated.
→The Sunshine Award button must be on your blog post.

Brooke's questions:
Who do you most admire in life? Uh...I admire Jesus the most. He works in mysterious, wonderful ways in my life and I admire Him extremely for not only that...I mean, c'mon, He died for me.
If you could do one thing your whole life what would you do? I would probably like to write poetry. (valid answer?)
If you were a chair, who would you let sit on you? OK, then. Now that's a question you aren't asked everyday. Well, I guess I wouldn't mind letting my little brother sit on me. He does all the time anyway.
If you could listen to one song your whole life, what would it be? I like this question. :) It would either be "Hey Stephen" by Taylor Swift or (this song is going to be one you probably haven't heard of, but I love it) "Sugar Beauty" by Amber Hunter...click HERE to listen to Sugar Beauty. I'm sure you'll love it.
What is something no one really knows about you? Another tough one. Hmm...most people don't really know that I'm actually not so shy? I'm just quite quiet often.
Are you an obsessed fan [of anything] or dedicated? Well, let's see. I'm a swiftie, I love marvel, (especially concerning Ironman, Captain America, or Spiderman), I'm a big fan of the Divergent trilogy and can't wait for the movie. That's more than one thing, sorry. But there is more. Nah, won't bother you with it.
If you had to be locked in a room with one person for 24 hours, who would it be? Hmm...one of my sisters, maybe...I dunno - that's the third tough question I've stumbled across in these series of questions. ;)
Who would you like to accidentally call you? OK. You got me...because this is the first question I can't answer. Not that I don't want to...just...can't find the right answer.
Are you a night owl or an early bird? Night owl.
If you had one wish, what would you wish for? [besides more wishes!] I think I'd wish that all people were blind to looks, and the thing that mattered in our society today was not beauty, but personality. It would take a lot of stress off a lot of people, including me.
I think I'd wish for that. But it's pretty hard to rack your brain for what you truly, really would want above all.

So, that's Brooke's questions done. These are my questions:
→If you had to choose one smell to be the only smell you smelt for the rest of your life, what smell would it be? [that was a bit of a weird question, but try saying it five times fast. OK. guess it's not that hard...]
→What's your favorite quote? [stolen question]
→What blog do you find the most inspiring out of the blogs you visit? [it would be nice if you linked to it]
→What is a life dream of yours?
→How old were you when you started your blog?
→Would you prefer a trip to the beach for the day or an overnight camping trip?
→Choose one place you'd like to visit above all other places in the world. [doesn't have to be a country, it can be a particular place, or a shop even, if you like] What is it?
→Do you prefer asking questions or answering questions?
→Strawberry pattern or watermelon pattern?
→Fiction or non-fiction?
→Which question out of all the ones I've asked did you enjoy the most?

Done!
No, wait, I have to appoint my nominees. ♥
Rachelle: at Beloved Bluebird [cos - I love your blog girl]
Rose: at Truly. Madly. Deeply. [both the author and the blog from Truly. Madly. Deeply. are amazing. Rose is a helpful, fantastic girl]
Aaliyah at Growing In His Image [you're so lovely, Aaliyah]

and...as Brooke said on her blog...anyone else who wants to do this award.
Thanks for reading this. ♥♥♥

PS: I asked my readers if I should continue doing awards. Most of them said that they liked awards, because they got to know more about other bloggers. So I've decided to do some awards, just when I feel like it and I've got nothing else to post, you know? Hope you learnt more about me in this post, and that it wasn't way to long and boring... xxx
