Craving is
not only limited to food only; it can be something material or persons. Be it
cigar, coconut shake, stilettos, dresses or etc. etc. As for me there are a few
things that I crave for and like some penniless people, I can only crave (for
something that needs money spending) and sometimes risking a few things to
fulfill my own crave.
Books
Call me a
nerd or geek all you want but there’s nothing can change my love for books. It’s
my guilty pleasure. I love books and I love buying them and keep them as my
collections. Books are the only things I never put any thought when I have
plenty money in hand. Even when I have a small amount of money, I never failed
to buy a book whenever I stepped out from a bookstore. And when I go shopping,
the glitters and shimmers I sees first are of that books that neatly resting on
the bookstores shelves. Anyone can set my heart into flutters if I’m given
books as presents.
There’s
one time a friend asked my other friend why I’m acting like a maniac when I saw
bookstores. She replied, “Did you ever see girls went crazy over shoes and
pretty dresses? She’s like that when she sees books.” My friend nodded in
understanding and every time we went to mall, he’ll jokingly herd us to the
opposite of the bookstores.
My books
collections are not that many. It’s just because of a simple cause, money.
Books I want and wanted are always cost up to 50 bucks and sometimes 100 bucks.
Yep, books here cost like bombs. The place where it was published might cost a
single digit or not more than 20 bucks which make me jealous of what?
I don’t
know since when I love books. Even textbooks for school looks beautiful and
tempting to me – ah, don’t be mistaken, I’m not that crazy to collect textbooks
too. I think my obsession is that can be considered as obsession? for
books started when I first buy Harry Potter. Yep, I’m a Harry Potter geek. It’s
addictive to me to read the story more and more. When I realized it, I already
have the full collection of Harry Potter (plus ‘the Tales of Beadle the Bard’
and ‘Fantastic Beast and Where to Find them’. As for ‘Quidditch trough the
Ages’, I gave it to a friend as a birthday gift. I have a little regret on it
but people said the best gift for someone special is something you love the
most). Then, I have Twilight for my birthday present. Unfortunately, there are
three other books as the continuation for Twilight and of course, I also have
the complete set of Twilight Saga. Twilight was an ok love story, at least not
too ordinary like some typical love stories, but the Saga make my eyes reading
the words with mathematical problems being solved in my head (means that I
finished the story without really reading the story). Then, I have a collection
of Blood+, the novel, almost completing the collection of the Fallen series
(saw the last book for the series but my curiosity for Hunger Games was
intriguing), is collecting the series of Hunger Games (waiting for my expenses
next two month for the last book), Ramlee Awang Murshid’s novels, especially
Tombiruo’s series and Laksamana Sunan’s series, Chicken Soups for The Soul
books, the prequel novel of Deathnote, a few motivation books, religious books,
comic books, artbooks and many more. I always wanted a bibliography book but
well, the one I want at the moment cost up to 100 bucks…
So, my
goal for books I want next time are the bibliography book, Chicken Soup’s book
(the one with a rabbit on the cover and many more), Rapture, Mockingjay,
Beastly (if I can find it), Angela and Diabola (I want to own that book. The
one I read was a library book), Roald Dahl’s Charlie’s and Chocolate Factory
and Glass Elevator (and etc. etc.), Alice in Wonderland and Trough the Looking
Glass (I know, these books are so old but I wanted to read the original story)
by Lewis Carrol,
and all novels written by my favorite thriller novelist, Ramlee Awang Murshid.
Chocolate
Cream Chip
I started
to become addicted with this drink when a friend whom addicted to coffee made
frequent visits to Starbucks. I don’t drink coffee (I can’t drink coffee
because I’m afraid of caffeine poisoning) and my friend suggest Choc Cream Chip
which I fell in love with it the moment I took a sip of it. She teased me for
having addiction for chocolate instead of coffee like other people who went in
and out of Starbucks.
Fortunately,
this one, I have control on it (blehhh, it’s not like you really addicted of
it~ shut up). It’s not like books which I can’t live without. The prices
for a cup of Choc Cream Chip also very costly that can only make me stare
longingly at the shop when my pockets are empty. It’s been three month since
the last time I had a cup (thrashing crazily)
If I tell this to my mother,
she’ll replies, “Find yourself a rich boyfriend.” *close ears boyfriend
still not something necessary, at the moment at least* but your heart
need cure
Vitagen
It’s a
cultured drink. Every time I went to supermarket, I’ll buy Vitagen. It’s not
necessary for my need but if I see one, I’ll buy it. Luckily, this one is
really cheap (on certain supermarket). I’ll buy one pack which consists of five
small bottles per pack. And I’ll drink the whole pack alone, no sharing, thank
you. It’s not that I’m stingy (yeah, you are shut up). It’s just the
bottle is too small that one don’t enough for me.
My family
knows enough that I’ll always sneak one pack to my room and drink all of it
alone. Then, one day, my younger brother (who likes Vitagen also; not as much
as me) thought of a solution; buy many packs of Vitagen but each pack only has
one flavor. Good plan, but still won’t stop me sneaked a pack of orange
flavored Vitagen to my room. Hey, I’m
kind enough, though, to sneak the least favorite of Vitagen; everyone in my
house doesn’t like orange flavored Vitagen.
I have a
strange peculiarity with Vitagen. I rather buy another pack for my brother than
sharing the same pack. It’ll cost money (which I treasure so much after books)
but as long as I have my one pack of Vitagen, I don’t mind. It’s such a bliss
sipping all of five bottles of Vitagen. And I somehow can be easily convinced
by a pack of Vitagen whenever my brother wanted something from me (only my
brother).
“Vitagen Bribe~~~”
Anime
What can I
say about this one? For past few years I was downloading anime like crazy. And
I’m still downloading. Only my university’s wireless and internet didn’t allow
me to download movies; mkv files or mediafire files (they block it), THANK YOU
SO MUCH. I have more than one hundred of anime in my hardisk and my computer.
One Piece? Bleach? Naruto? I have all of them. Complete series, except for One
Piece because it’s still ongoing asdjhuebiuhcwuhf the New World
sdkfiwnfoirwjih. Naruto Shippuden? Coming Soon~
My
favorite anime are of course, Bleach (love Ulqiorra Schiffer the most), Durarara
(Heiwajima Shizuo is always the strongest man that hate ‘violence’ *cough*),
Kuroko no Basket (not as epic as Slam Dunk, but still Kuroko’s Basket is
something worth watching; Kiyoshi Teppei, ichiban!), D.Gray-Man (confusing
story but still good anime; can’t love Allen Walker but can’t hate him also),
Soul Eater (interesting fighting style with scythe and great soundtracks and
weird teacher, Franken Stein) and Ghibli Studio’s anime (Howl’s Moving Castle
is one of my favorites). I haven’t watched One Piece, yet. There are more than
500 episodes of it! I can’t find time to watch them I want to watch them
straight without delays without being disturbed.
That’s
just a bit of anime that I already watch. There are more of them waiting for
me. I made a list so I can watch them periodically like watching anime on TV
with time set for it. But, I’m too preoccupied with many other things to
do; my study, my assignments (which starts to pile), my drawings now, I’m
thinking of taking commissions on Deviantart but I’m still far from good,
my house chores I’m living alone and have a huge house to take care of,
cooking, laundry, cleaning, and etc. Well, I think I’m going to finish the
dramas and proceed to Belzeebub first head on.
Games
Febret aku, King of Fighters
I have
temporary crave for this one. I could go crazy with games but once I completed
the games, I’ll get to my life again. I don’t play strategy games like Dota or
War Craft I, II, III etc., I like fighting games like Street Fighter, King of
Fighter or Guilty Gear. I also like games that challenging my brain capacity which
is not big enough like puzzle games, for instance, Return to Ravenhearst
that provide quite brain racking puzzles (it’s not that hard if you think
everything in numbers).
Once
addicted to The Sims 3. Yep, the one with building houses and form families. My
laptop needs better processor to run the game without it shutting down itself
after 5 minutes playing the game. Then, other normal and simple games like
Feeding Frenzy, Farm frenzy, Burger Shop, Dynomite, Tumblebugs, Plant vs
Zombies etc. Oh, right, I’m the best when playing Burger Shop. Even my brother
whom rally good with games can’t defeat my high scores in Burger Shop.
I’m not
sure if all of those things can be classified as cravings. But in short, those are the things I spent my money and times the most (which both of them are the
things I have less). I’m happy with it and whenever they are fulfilled, I’m
really at ease.
P/S:
Serius, Hunger Games best. Movie dia best tapi buku dia lagi best. Ada
sesetengah orang tak puas hati dengan cerita dia sebab ada orang cakap macam
cerita Battle Royale. Tapi, aku rasa tak sama langsung. Buku pertama dia je
yang guna idea berbunuhan sesama sendiri. Tapi sebab diorang berbunuhan sesama
sendiri tak sama dengan Battle Royale. Kalau ikutkan SAW pun guna basic idea
yang sama. Tapi, tak ada orang nak kutuk pun~~~ *kalau da suka orang nak kata
gajah rimau pun peduli apa, kan?*hmph
