'Ghost in the Shell'
Ghost in the Shell is a cyber punk classic released in 1995. The original anime classic was based on the manga by Shirow Masamune and since its release, it has become one of the most popular anime films of all time. This year, it has had a live action remake starring Scarlett Johansson. Live action remakes have had a very bad name in the past but the Disney action remakes like the global smash hit Beauty & The Beast starring Emma Watson has started giving them a good name again.

Luck Be A Lady - Seal
Seal has always been one of my favourite male vocalists. I had the pleasure of seeing him live at The Symphony Hall in Birmingham last year, and I thought he was fantastic. His voice sounded a lot better live than it did in the recording studio and he was full of charisma. I loved how he was talking to the audience and telling them to get involved. It was a wonderful experience and I was truly sad that we had to leave and go back to the hotel after the concert was over. He was a true gentleman and I hope to see him live again soon!

Top 10 Epic Albums
Albums are very important. They are more than just a collection of songs, they can tell a story through one way or another. It might not be a formulaic story, but it contains teamwork of individuals and are stories of their life as well as a musical journey.

Holiday Highlights 2017
In terms of travelling, 2017 has been an okay year for me. My main big holiday this year was the four day trip around Europe in July. I stayed at the Ibis hotel near Amsterdam Central Station and travelled around using the trains and buses and also by foot.

Starbucks Cold BrewTop Story - September 2017
Starbucks is bringing out so many visually pleasing drinks lately. It makes me want to go out and try them all. The pecan latte sounds really cool. And I've heard about the US bringing out the Unicorn Frappuccino and it looks so gorgeous. I just wish the UK would bring it over here, to see if really lives up to the hype.

Starbucks' Cappuccino Freddo
Starbucks is one of the biggest coffee chains in the world. I've always been very fond of the brand as it's one I have found in almost every country that I've been to. I love how different the menus are and I like how you can try different kinds of teas and coffees around the world. And now Starbucks has once again expanded its menu. And Pumpkin Spice latte is back on the menu! (Rejoice!)

An Afternoon at Alcon's Cosplay Café
Alcon 2017 was my first Alcon. It wasn't the best convention that I've been to, but I can still say that I enjoyed myself. I heard that a lot of people enjoyed the previous versions of Alcon more. Some have vowed never to return. But I will try my best to avoid discussing the AL drama here for the time being.

Starbucks' Vanilla Sweet Cream Cold Brew
I called in at my local Starbucks. I am pleased to know that the Pumpkin Spice Latte is back for the autumn season. And with all the new drinks coming out, it looks as if Starbucks has been experimenting with and trying to reimagine tea and coffee again. Tea and coffee are already magical drinks as themselves. Both drinks in their pure forms offer a wide range of health benefits and with all the fancy stuff thrown in, those health benefits may be lost, but their magic can sometimes be retained. When Starbucks do it right, they really do it right, but when they do it wrong, they fall flat on their face (at least in my opinion).

The Day I Discovered I Was a Slytherin
I've been a big fan of the Harry Potter series for as long as I can remember. I have read all the books and seen all the films. I've also read and written Harry Potter fan fiction. But I never really considered what my Hogwarts House would be until this year. Well, I wouldn't have a house, I'm a muggle after all. If I did have to be put in one house, then I would say it would be Hufflepuff as people all consider me to be friendly and loyal. I heard about Pottermore and saw people sharing what houses they were put into. I then decided to sign up to Pottermore and try the test.

The Car Park King
The Tudors have always been a part of British history that I've been fond of. I enjoy the stories of the kings and queens and found the tales of love, betrayal, and scandal very interesting. The Tudors brought the birth of the new Church of England and the golden age. But none of that would have been possible if it wasn't for the War of the Roses and the defeat of Richard III.
