My favorite things

I have been a Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart since the last 5 years. I fell in love with them after the release of new moon, in early 2010 and ever since then i have been a part of this fandom. I am proud to say that i have never once left this fandom and i don't plan to either. I don't know what the future holds but i know this for sure that i will always love these two kids forever.  

It has been such a wonderful journey and in this post i decided to back in time and post some of my all time favorite fan made videos of robert and kristen. As soon as i discovered these two wonderful actors i started watching their videos on YouTube and it played a major role in my falling in love with them and overtime i have discovered some of the greatest video makers of this fandom..sadly most of them have left the fandom and those who haven't don't post much but nevertheless i thank them for their wonderful contribution. 

and here they are in no particular order 

This one is by all time favorite video-maker Honeybuzy.  She's not active in the fandom now. Don't really know what happened i guess real life gets in the way eh?

This one is the very first video i watched and i remember i was so obsessed with it that i re-watched  it gazillion time. Everything from songs to editing etc is just perfect  and even now when i watch it brings back the old feels. Oh those good times of new moon promo



go check out HoneyBuzy's channel on YouTube guys she has only 28 videos but they are so good  

Another one by Honeybuzy. Its a 15 min long video about the their journey from the beginning. This will sure make you cry happy tears. Honeybuzy has truly captured the love r/k have for each other wonderfully 



This is the very first video of diandra's that i watched and i have watched  every video of hers since then. Seriously she is so wonderful. 




Its a short video with clips from the eclipse promo and its total 
Diandra is not active much either and i don't think she posts anymore. Here's her YouTube channel  My time all time favorite are among her 75 videos. She and I also share our mutual love for Kpop 

This is another cute video by diandra. 


If this doesn't make you smile i don't know what will.

I did had very difficult time choosing my favorite libenet video because everything she makes is extra ordinary
and did i tell you how much i adore her. She is not only an amazing video maker but she is a wonderful person as well. She is not in the fandom anymore and as much as i was sad to see her go i will not judge her on that. I am lucky to know her outside the fandom and i will forever be grateful to her for making this robsten journey 10x better for me with her out of this world videos. 
I love you Lib 



In this video lib has compared the legendary Newman/Woodward & Rob/Kristen. The similarities between both these couple is uncanny, funny how i never noticed before. I love how lib came up with this unique concept . This is far by my most favorite video.


This video was in response to the 12 Kristen hate messages that she received. Lib has wonderfully told everyone through this video how Kristen is misunderstood and hated without any reason. I totally love this video its a wonderful message for the haters out there. 

Libenet has 70 videos on her YouTube channel . They are all wonderful. 

Among the ones who are still active in this fandom i really really love Robstenville. Her mirrors video is so so beautiful 


Check out her channel on YouTube she has really great videos. 

Fiorels is an absolutely amazing video maker..her editing is perfect and the songs are awesome.
I really love all her videos but this one stands out the most 


her channel on youtube.

and now last but the not the least Melg i love how much she has faith in rob and kristen and how much she believes in both of them. Her videos truly capture the love robsten have for each other 


for more amazing videos check out her channel

 I am sure there are lots of other great video makers out there these were just some of my favorites. 
That's it for now. Byeee guys 

spend your time loving what you love instead of bashing what you hate 
Have a great Sunday.


“We gave you a perfectly good language and you f***ed up.” - Stephen Fry

English is the most widely spoken language around the world. With 360 million native speakers as of 2010 and official language in 54 countries it is considered a universal language. Its spoken with different accents throughout the world and also understood by almost everyone. With having such a large number of audience it is bound to go through changes and modifications.
Don't worry, here i am not going to discuss the evolution of English language and no i don't consider myself a grammar Nazi actually so you won't see me here whining about how the modern technology has butchered the English language. However i am going to discuss some of my pet peeves regarding the few liberties we take with English. 

With texting and instant messaging shortening the words like "you" into "u", "okay"  "k", “2” for “to etc has become a trend these days and with social websites like twitter where you have to write in 140 characters you have do it even if you don't want to. But guys shortening to some extent is fine (not a grammar Nazi, Remember?) but this "My smmr hols wr CWOT. B4, we used 2 go 2 NY 2C my bro, his GF & thr 3 :-@ kds FTF. ILNY, its gr8." is NOT fine at all. 


shortened words, improper capitalization and punctuation, and characters like &, $, and @ are really really bothersome. It does not make you cool so please guys just stop it! 


Like i said above that i am no grammar Nazi actually i really hate it when people point out grammatical mistakes of other people, No please English is not her native language and nobody asked your opinion but some things just can not be ignored. I really really hate it when people do this like for example how can people not know the difference between  Awe, aww and ewe "Awe" is: I was awed by his dazzling green eyes." "Ewe" is "a female sheep." and its pronounced  as "you" not "e you" and awwww is "isn't that cute?" it's awwwwwww. Not only this, there is more i have seen lots of people saying "For God sakes" its WRONG 
 its "For God's sake" and oh "Definitely" is spelled with an "I" not an "E" and its definitely not "Defiantly" that's a completely different word. Go Google it.
One thing that i hate is when people use the word "cum" when they actually mean "come" oh mother of all things "cum" and "come" are two different words. Come means "to move or travel" where as this cum is used in two sense 1) to combine with like a study-cum-bedroom and 2)  is a vulgar slang word for the liquid that comes out of the penis during ejaculation. 
so imagine my horror when i see my aunt write on Facebook "cum on skype"  
  



Its not even funny guys please be careful while using the words which have double meaning if you are not sure what it means Google can be your best friend at such times.
And now lets discuss some basic things that are obviously taught to us in kindergarten but of course who will remember kindergarten stuff because its not important right? WRONG. Some common mistakes i see most people make the use of Their/they're and there. Guys these are different words with completely different meanings. Their is possessive. Their house. Their car. They're on the other hand is "THEY ARE" and There  is "there you go". I don't understand how can people go wrong with such basic things. 
 Lose and Loose. There's a difference. Lose signifies a loss. You lose the bet. Loose is the opposite of tight. A loose fit. Break and brake Really? There are people don't know the difference between breaking something or taking a break and slamming on the brakes?


Waist and waste If you're putting your arm around somebody's waste, I don't wanna know about it. Your and You're.There's a difference. You're is ALWAYS YOU ARE. "Your" denotes possession. Your house. Your car. Who's and Whose "Who's' is ALWAYS "who is." "Who's the most likely to win the game?" "Whose" is like "whose bag is this?" Conscious/Conscience The first is like when you wake up "she was fully conscious". The second is that thing that nags at you "a guilty conscience". Principal and principle Oh come on guys really? Principle "Rule, belief or idea" Principal "your college or school principal". AND ONE MORE IMPORTANT THING "ANYWAYS" IS NOT A WORD. THERE IS NO SUCH WORD AS ANYWAYS.  I want to break my head every time i see people say "Anyways"
 Now back to some more common mistakes Compliment and Complement There's a difference. I paid her a compliment and said she looked nice. Complement means something completes or makes it perfect - Wine is a nice complement to a good meal. We looked good together. We complemented each other nicely.


Then and Than If people learned to read and write better THAN the average kindergartner, THEN I wouldn't have to point out the difference. Affect/Effect AFFECT is to have an impact on someone. 
EFFECT is a result. Heir and Hear Heir to inherit something and its pronounced as "Air" and hear to"listen" and There is NO SUCH WORD as IRREGARDLESS 
 and other very important thing"can't not do" COMPLETELY WRONG. Double negative. Remove the"not"can't is enough.
 Okay few more before i end Accept/Except I'd like to ACCEPT that people who have graduated high school do not know the difference between these words, EXCEPT I really really can't. Bear and Bare:If you say "I couldn't bare it" it means you didn't want to take off your clothes. If you say "bare with me" it means you wanna get naked together. 
Shudder/Shutter - She shuddered because she was cold. Please close the shutters.
Sight/Site- SIGHT: perception of objects by use of the eyes; vision. Also, "we went to London and took in the sights." SITE: the position or location of a town, building, etc. Also? WebSITE.

I can go on and on and on but i think i should probably end it here before it turns into a grammar lesson but can you blame me guys. Seriously.
These are just few of many mistakes that i see people do and its really really irritating so do yourself favor guys go read this wonderful book 
 and if you are not into books there is always

That beauty is a trade and everyone is paid

Every year people here in karachi wait anxiously for spring to arrive not because they love flowers blooming, trees going green, weather turning pleasent and birds chriping, Nope. The people eagerly wait for spring because spring means "lawn season". All people including women, children and adults and even men go completely crazy when popular designer (shall i say designer? .. i don't know) like gul ahmed, khaadi, nishat etc issue their catalouges.
First they dissect each and every page of the magazine and when its officially launched they leave everything right then and there and with magazines in their hands they run for the shops to buy their favorite piece before that piece is sold, Yes that actually happens the lawn is so much in demand that if you don't go quick you may not be able to buy your favorite piece.



And every year i dread this lawn season because lawn season means endless tiring hours in shopping centers trying to find that perfect dress, that hidden gem. I could write few blog post during that time, watch a movie or tv show or read a  book. Seriously, why does it matter when all you are going to do is wear it for is 2.5 months of summer season. I don't understand. Don't get me wrong i love looking pretty, buying pretty dresses and getting dressed up but i am definitely not one of those who would egerly wait for the lawn season to arrive, going to shopping for lawn is not in my top priorities. I would go at my own convenience or wait! who am i kidding, if i had my way i would not go at all i would just ask my mum to buy it from me.




But my mum takes me with her as her shopping partner and i feel really sorry for her because i am the last person you would want to go to (lawn) shopping with.


Yestarday i went with my mum to get a look at this years collection and maybe buy something as well and as soon as i reached the shop i knew i would regret it and by the look on my mum's face i knew she was not happy either. The shop was jam packed, there was not a place to stand let alone buy anything. For a few minutes we were just trying how to get through the crowd to at least take a glinpse at the collection, well my mum was doing all the hard work and i was just there trying to protect myself from getting hurt, yeah there was definitely lots of pulling and pushing. It seemed like i had been thrown into the hunger games and i had to fight for my survival.


The women and men had the magazines with them and they would just tell the shopkeeper the design and he would give them that, already packed. They would not even take a look, i guess that is benefit of return and exchange poilicy that that shop had. And like this they would buy not 1 or 2 but 4 or 5 dresses at one go and while i would just look at them with my mouth literally hanging open,
I mean each dress was either 5,000 or more. It was diffiult for me take all that in because to be quite honest spending 20,25k on just lawn is too much but i guess people have their obsessions. Like mine are books, but still i would never spend that much money on books in one sitting either. My poor mum on the other hand didn't even bring the catalogue because she thought that the shop would have it. Really mum? really?
 With so much rush the shopkeepers had hardly any time to attend all the customers and the customers there would not even share their magazine either (How rude)
So while my mum was looking at the collection on the display I was enjoying the good music that was playing there. Yes the music was the only good thing.
Many times my mum would ask my opinion on the dresses and i would just reply with "yeah that's good" and "no its okay" And really I am just as hopeless as a person who doesn’t know how to swim and is thrown in the water.
Eventually in the end my mum did end up buying 2 dresses for herself which I was really glad of because on the first day my mum only does window shopping which means more trips to the shop and honestly the sooner you get done with it the better. I tried to give my best opinions to her even though I have little knowledge on this subject and zero interest but like a good daughter I am, I not only accompanied my mum but tried to help her chose as well.

And when finally my mum was done I was all ready and happy to leave and while I was leaving and with the women still trying to get shopkeepers attention, literally fighting to get that last piece. I remembered those times when I was young and  everyone used to go to uzma display centre and gulf for lawn shopping not to ideas and khaadi’s and each suite didn’t use to cost 5,000 either and moreover lawn shopping didn’t use to be so tiresome *sigh* those were the days
