Why I Love Ash From The Iron Fey Series

Note*** spoilers for Iron Fey series

Ash is any girl's perfect prince. With his stunning icy looks, those silver eyes will blow you away. His tousled jet-black hair contrasts flawlessly with his pale skin. Tall, lean and muscular, *drools* his inhuman beauty sends girls falling at his feet. <-- I would be one!!!

Fearsome, cold and dangerous, this Unseelie prince is mysterious like that. Ash is deadly. With magic on hand along with his sword, he can be unstoppable. Raised to know emotion as weakness, he doesn't let anything get through his icy facade. Until he meets Meghan. Then he becomes a whole other person.

“From this day forth, I vow to protect Meghan Chase, daughter of the Summer King, with my sword, my honor and my life. Should even the world stand against her, my blade will be at her side. And should it fail to protect her, let my own life be forfeit.” 
― Julie Kagawa, The Iron Knight

Gentle, protective and loving, he comes to love Meghan, after he gets past the "I'm gonna kill you" phase. He is willing to go to the end of the world for her and fight anyone harming his girl.

“Touch her, and I'll freeze your testicles off and put them in a jar. Understand?” 
― Julie Kagawa, The Iron King

(I LOVE this quote.)

He has the looks, the ability to kick butt, and truly loves Meghan. Ashallyn' darkmyr Tallyn is the perfect guy. I hope my future husband can be just like him (unfortunately without the magic) :D

Here is a random poem I wrote about Ash.

The Unseelie Court taught me not to feel.
Love, hate, it's all surreal.
But with the touch of this girl,
My heart has unfurled.
Embracing this love, 
That has come from above.

*Covers face*
That was pretty bad :P --reasons I'm not a poet.

Here is some fan art I drew.

Although Ash surely does not wear jeans :/ and is not left handed :/ Whoops. Double fail.

I love The Iron Fey series a lot and want to thank Julie for the amazingness <3

New Years Resolutions from other blog

I am deleting this other blog of mine so I am going to move some of the posts here.


So this past week I have been sick and busy with the holidays but mostly lazy so I haven't posted anything. 

Hope everyone had a great holiday. Mine was pretty boring.

New year. New goals. New people. Fresh start. All the best in 2012.

Every new year I usually make some goals and forget them within the next day. I have decided this year to make some goals and work slowly towards them (lifestyle change) instead of putting lots of pressure on myself to complete goals. Here are the goals I made this year: (<-- see goals I made, not hope to accomplish, although I am working towards them)

#1: Stick to habits (good ones, of course):

Last year I went on this workout routine thing for a few months. And then I gave up due to laziness. My workout, which I did a few times a week, consisted of running (emphasize on the running, it is not walking) up and down the stairs for 5 minutes (over this period of time I increased it to 15 minutes), some sit-ups, push-ups, stretches, that kind of thing. Nothing drastic. But it was an okay workout that got me sweating and gave me around 45 minutes of physical activity. After a few months, the motivation kinda faded and I found myself doing it less and less until I stopped.

I plan to re-start this workout thing and continue this blog, even if no one reads it, because it might improve my writing skills and possibly vocabulary. Oh. And it helps the Earth. And I hope to inspire more people.

#2: Eat healthier:

This has been on the "list" for a long time and I am working towards it. Slowly. 

• Less meat: I really like eating meat so I probably eat more servings than I should per day. I hope to cut this down. 
• Less unhealthy snacks: I hope to change the bad habits of eating snacks that are unhealthy and instead eat snacks that are healthy instead. I get hungry a lot, but I can't eat a lot at a time. This leads to a lot of snacks. Most of which are unhealthy.
• More fruits: I am not a big fan of vegetables so I hope to increase fruit intake to make up for it.

#3: Enjoy life more:

I consider myself a pretty uptight person. I get nervous all the time about small things like homework and tests. Need to let go and live a little.
