Just wait a little longer

Posted on by Elizabeth Han Hopkins

Another Bleach inspired piece. So the other day I wrote something from  Rukia Kunchiki’s point of view, so yesterday I wrote this from Ichigo Kurosaki’s point of veiw to Rukia Kunchiki. Please bare in mind I’m still only on episode 30 so have no idea how their relationship is going to go, I just like the idea of them two haha.

I’m coming to save you,
So just wait a little longer,
Don’t lose hope…

Why didn’t you tell me,
That if you gave me,
What you gave me,
Your life would be on the line.
You’re always saving me,
I promise to return the favour…

But all I really want to do is,
Protect you,
Like your always protecting me….

You’ve begun to mean,
More and more to me,
Never thought,
You would have this effect on me…

You gave my life,
More meaning,
Than I ever knew before,
Made my life a little more interesting…

You opened up a world,
I never knew existed…

Now your not here with me,
I’m wandering,
Whats running through your mind,
If your ok…
Will you smile when you see me again…

Our entwined lives,
Constantly running through my mind,
Memories of us,
Fighting side by side,
Our eyes linking,
Across the battlefield,
Reading each other,
Through our actions…

Know this,
I will get stronger for you,
I will be the shoulder for you to cry on,
The anchor for you to lean on…

And if you have no-one else,
Know that you will always have me,
Regardless of the distance,
Our hearts will always be connected,
To one another…

I still have so many questions,
But know one thing for a fact,
I will be with you,
When you need me,
I will be the one who makes you smile…

So wait for me,Just a little longer,
Cause I’m almost there…

For You

Posted on by Elizabeth Han Hopkins

So I have finally started watching Bleach a bit late I know but I am on about episode 30, so I wrote this from Rukia Kunchiki’s point of view to Ichigo Kurosaki . Please bare in mind I have no idea how their relationship is going to go, I just like the idea of them two haha.

What is it about you?
That made me,
Go soft inside…

Before you,
I could cover my feelings,
Just did my job,
As a soul reaper,
And carried on…

But for you,
I gave up everything,
Knew that one day,
They’d come for me…

Thought you were done and gone,
But you came back to save me…

There’s so many things I need to tell you,
But I don’t know how…
All I know is I want to stay by your side,
Helping you in any way I can…

I think I love you…

Addicted to You.

Posted on by Elizabeth Han Hopkins

It’s been a while since I last saw you,
And I can’t get you outta of my head,
Cause I’m so addicted to you…
You made me smile,
Every time I saw your face…

You knew just what to say,
When I was feeling down,
You knew how,
to bring my spirits up again.
You made me laugh, you made me smile…

Now I can’t get you outta of my head,
Cause I’m so addicted to you…

I miss you,
The guy who would be there,
For me.
The one who understood,
My needs…

Now I can’t get you outta of my head,
Cause I’m so addicted to you…

I remember we use to talk,
About such random things,
But it was cool,
As long as I was with you….

Now I can’t get you outta of my head,
Cause I’m so addicted to you,
Wandering  what your doing,
If your thinking about me,
Like I’m thinking about you…
Thinking about you…

Lunch at Mildreds’ and a quick Review

Posted on by Elizabeth Han Hopkins

Yesterday, I had a day filled with ups and downs as we walked around Central London, going to shops, looking at street performances and buying things, as you do. But one of the best parts of the day for me was Lunch because when we went Mildreds;’ a Vegetarian Restaurant  in central London.

Now this was the first time I’d been there and I definitely want to go again. It was delicious and not only that but the staff were friendly and seemed like they really enjoyed working there. It had a lovely atmosphere and all tables were full (Every time I see it there’s a line out the door- just to give you a sense of how popular it is).

Now back to the food. Now this is food to write home about, it is crazy good. So here’s what me (Green) and Alan (Blue) had for lunch:

Starter:

  • Panfried Halloumi, Cherry Tomato and wilted Spinach with Balsamic glaze
  • Gyoza dumplings with Mirin and Soy dipping sauce

 Main:

  • Fresh Tortelloni filled with Pumpkin and Ricotta, with Chestnut Mushroom, White Wine Cream sauce, drizzled with truffle oil
  • Organic Black Bean Burrito, with Red Pepper and Green Tomatillo Rice, topped with Tomato Salsa and Cheddar with Iceberg, Sour Cream, Guacamole and Pico de Gallo

Side:

  • Sweet potato fries with mayo (The mayo is super yum)

Dessert:

  • Banoffee Crème Brulee, Salted Caramel Bananas, Chocolate Chip Shortbread
  • Maple Pecan Pie with Vanilla Ice Cream
  • With Cappuccino

Yes we probably did overdo in terms of how much we ate and we were stuffed when we went out. The two best dishes there in my opinion was the Tortelloni and the Banoffee Crème Brulee, they were really, really yummy, could not get enough of them, but all the food was great. The only one I might not get again is the pecan pie but it does go well with the ice-cream. The rest was astounding and so yes I would highly recommend it. It’s suitable for all sorts of occasions, dates, friends, etc. Price wise for the food you are getting you can’t really complain.

Anyways hope you enjoyed reading this and if you have any veggie friends this is definitely a place to check out.

Sometimes

Posted on by Elizabeth Han Hopkins

Sometimes.
When nothing seems to be,
Going your way,
Lost in an abyss of your own making…

You turn to run.
But it just keeps,
Following you…

What do you do…

In your mind,
Your shouting for help,
Screaming for someone,
To hear you….

But all that returns,
Is silence.
A cold reflection,
Of what faces you…

Sometimes.
You just need a little boost,
Someone to stand,
By you…

Sometimes.
It’s nice to have someone,
To turn to,
To be there for you….

Sometimes…
You don’t,
Don’t want to,
Face it alone…

Those New Year’s Resolutions

Posted on by Elizabeth Han Hopkins

Ok, so since my last post I have been busy with university reports and assignments. I also said I would come up with some New Year resolutions here they are:

  • Not to be so argumentative, this only really occurs with people closest to me and it just ends up with both or one person being upset, so I think I need to cut down >.<
  • Try and be more positive, so recently I have been having a lot of ups and downs especially with the above subject. Ideally with less of the top one I will be more positive and happier? Might be complete nonsense, but it’s worth a try…And a general positive outlook on situations. 😉
  • Save up money…This one generally speaks for itself

Well those are my 3 resolutions, they’re not amazing but they should be achievable I hope haha

Finally, it’s my adorable little sister’s 9th birthday tomorrow! I still remember when she was really small. Now she’s growing up, and finding out what she likes and what she doesn’t like (I mean food, TV programs and toys not anything else >.<) =)

So Happy Birthday to her! Love her lots!

Thanks for reading and remember to Smile!

Diversity’s Limitless-Reboot Tour at O2 Arena

Posted on by Elizabeth Han Hopkins

I am aware I have not written on this for some time, which is largely due to being busy but also to being slightly lazy >.<

ticket

But I figured I would write about last night since it was pretty darn amazing.

So last night I went to see Diversity’s Limitless-Reboot Tour in the London O2 Arena (which was sold out!), with Alan Man and it was probably one of the best live performances I have ever been to as well as being a night to remember! If you have never been to see them, I highly recommend it.

The storyline made it seem like we were watching a 5D film! I loved the whole concept of the Diversity members (Ashley, Perri, Warren, Jordan, Terry, Ike, Sam and Mitchell)  becoming protectors of the earth, in order to stop ‘the destroyer.’ I thought it was a great touch, especially with all the superhero films and TV shows coming out lately.

Super

Diversity kept me captivated the whole way through, as not only were their dances full of energy, with a variety of styles included, making you want to dance along with them but there were also some interesting and nice surprises as well. Such as them walking through the audience hi-fiving people (I got to Hi-Five Ashley =D), taking selfies with fans, and at one point Ashley was hanging in the air doing a death defying stunt.

Diversity 1Then along with all this, there were the special guests (such as: Acropolis Live, Boadicea Crew, etc.)   who were equally as captivating, from their stunning acrobatics and flexibility to their dances. And to much of the audience’s delight Theo McKenzie-Hayton also makes an appearance.

All in all it was an unforgettable night, and one I will always remember.

merchandise

Oh yeah also brought a Diversity Jumper, which was soft and warm, and a Diversity T-shirt saying protector, causally gonna feel like a superhero haha

Never Want to Let You Go

Posted on by Elizabeth Han Hopkins

Ok so I have not written anything in a while, been a bit busy I guess studying for my master degree.(Sounds good right hahaha) It actually is a pretty good course and I am enjoying it a lot! Anyways this is a little something I wrote as I listened to this beat: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rkoEWm4Bovs Not entirely sure how I came up with this song, I guess I picked a theme and wrote about it. But I do not always write in this way sometimes I brainstorm a bunch of stuff. To be honest it just depends what mood I am in. Anyway I hope you like it…=)

Hey this is for you.

Running through the streets,
After you…
Never wanting to let you go….

Always wanting to stand by you,
Your my love, your my boo…
You know me inside and out,
Seen all the good and the bad…

Yet you’ve stood by me,
For better or for worse,
Regardless of everything I’ve done…

I never want to let you go….
Always want to stand by you,
Your my everything…
Your my love, your my boo…

Time feels frozen as I am,
Dancing in your arms tonight…
Don’t know what I would do,
Without you standing by my side…

I never want to let you go….
Always want to stand by you,
Your my everything…
Your my love, your my boo…

Crazy as times have been,
You’ve always stood by me…
It’s been two and half years now,
I wuv you…
And thank you for everything…

A Snowy Prince View

Posted on by Elizabeth Han Hopkins

Recently I’ve seen a lot of funny videos about the Fairytale Princes (Especially the Disney ones), and what they would be like if they were real people in this day and age. From the videos and the stories, the princes are portrayed as shallow men who only go for the princesses looks rather than who they are. Additionally, in some of the fairytales I grew up with, the princes are unable to recognize the princesses or their true love when they are not in their beautiful ball gowns or not how they originally looked when the princes first saw them.

Also in Disney’s Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, the prince kisses Snow White and that is how she is brought back to life however in the Grimm’s version of Snow White (Snow Drop), she is brought back to life only due to the prince’s servants stumbling causing a jolt which dislodges the piece of poison apple causing it to fall out of her throat (Not entirely sure if that would work in real like but hey its a fairytale =D ).

So I decided to try and do a poem from the prince’s point of view:

Deciding to take a walk through the woods,
With my servants by my side,
Away from the vanity of this kingdom’s Queen,
Though she may be fair,
There’s something unnerving about her stares…

I stumble upon a most interesting thing,
Several Dwarfs surrounding a glass coffin,
On top of a mountain,
And in it contains a maiden much fairer,
And sweeter looking than any woman I have ever seen…

A peaceful but sad look lays upon her,
Fair face…
She does not look deceased,
but simply asleep…

Then I see it,
The golden words that are inscribed onto the coffin,
Royal Princess,
Could it be?

Could she be the one the king seeks,
His fair daughter,
Whom was said to have run away,
And never to have returned,
The one that has caused,
This Kingdom’s King’s solemn disposition…

The princess from a far kingdom,
This Kingdom,
Whom My father always told me stories of,
A princess so fair and so sweet…

That I had fallen for her so many times,
Now I actually see her in bodily form,
I’ve decided if I am unable to marry her,
I will protect and cherish her in this coffin,
As my dearest possession…
But I simply cannot live without her in my life..

The dwarfs seem to be in the same mind as I,
But taking pity on me,
As they must of her,
When she came into their lives,
They finally let me have her…

Thus I asked my servants,
To carry her coffin,
On their shoulders
Back to my palace!

Oh no! They have fallen,
Are they ok? Is she ok?

Wait, she has awakened,
As if from a deep slumber,
And of course she is as surprised and confused,
As I would be in her situation…

She askes where she is,
I say joyfully with me!
To ambitious maybe,
But I do not want to lose her,
Or for anyone to hurt her…

So I will tell her what I will give her, LOVE:
“I will love you better than anyone in the whole wide world.”
And ask her:
“Will you come with me to my father’s place and be my wife?”
For I want her to stay forever by my side!

She said YES!

I will give her everything she needs,
And wants within reason of course
First things first,
She seeks revenge on that vain queen…
And I will abide by my bride to be…

So to the wedding,
The queen from her Kingdom is invited,
Fearfully she recognizes my princess,
In hot-red iron shoes the Queen is put,
To dance away the rest of her life…
Whilst Snow Drop and I live Happily Ever After…
Telling the people of the land the strange way in which we met…
