my favorite color

Hi!

proper greetings this time. 👋🏼

took me a while to start this one coz I was checking whether I have made this kind of post before or not. but couldn't find anything on it. So, here we are.

...30 years laterr...
I found the post. I mentioned my 3 favorite color in here. I'm afraid I'm gonna contradict myself about how Purple isn't Male-related LOL.

My favorite color. hmm 🤔 It goes from liking Lime Green, to Colors, to Purple, to Orange, then to Mint, then anything Pastel, then Yellow. I mean, I don't know how people can have just one favorite color.

The reason why I have so many is becoz, back in high school, I remembered feeling very envy with other friends; they be buying cute items from this Knic Knac shop with their favorite color and i couldn't buy any coz they didn't have that cute thing in my favorite color, Lime Green. Apparently, Green isn't a color for a girl?
I think from that moment on, I try looking for my next favorite color, you know, just in case the no.1 color isn't available.
WHO MADE THE RULE TO ONLY BUY SOMETHING IN YOUR FAVORITE COLOR? AND KALAU NADA YOUR FAVORITE COLOR, YOU KENOT BUY? WHO?!

but that was before. I'm all grown up now and have a shopping problem. BHAHAHAAHA

sigh

anyway, my favorite colors. Lets discuss.

Pink

90s Power Ranger. Pink Ranger. Kimberly. oh how I love pink ranger! but I have to mengalah with my cousin, and ended up liking Yellow Ranger. coz she the other female ranger.
Then fast forward to high school. oh how I hate pink. coz a classmate was sooo minat Pink that everything she owned was pink. argh. but I guess I was just jealous LOL coz I wasn't 'supported' to buy whatever I want.
That was then. Now I like pink. in pastel. coz its prettier. rose gold is another shade of pink and is prettier.

Light / Lime Green

ok. this one is funny. I only like it coz I was following my sister. this is also during my highshool period. I remember she had all her stationery and books' wrap in that Lime Green color. and I was following everything she did. coz I always want to be my sister. *cue Ashlee Simpson - Shadow. LOL I think I was in that Lime Green phase during Form 5, Lower and Upper Six.
I stopped liking it tho.
but now I'm accepting it again.
coz

NCT!

Purple

This was when I began understanding that favorite color is supposed to be your own. and I remember thinking, what can I buy that represent Harry Potter? This was before the existent of Pottermore and its House Sorting. At that time I, as everybody else's too I'm sure, a Gryffindor, which is red but I don't want that to be my favorite color, so I rack my brain and came up with purple coz in book 1, Dumbledore was wearing a Purple robe.
LOL
still one of my favorite color now but the only reason i avoided it, if I can help it is becoz I don't like seeing one color in my wardrobe.

Orange

Onew. I wasn't able to buy official merchandise and I was looking for things that I can relate to Onew. and he was one of the MC on a show and his 'jacket' was orange color (other MCs were wearing diffent color from each other too). so orange.
I seldom choose this color nowadays.

Mint

SHINee World. Official merchandises are expensive as fuck. Suho mentioned recently, "capitalism". dam right it is. anyway, Instead of crying over that official SHINee phone case I can't afford, I ended up buying one that is just SHINee color.
still my favorite now. Its funny, coz this color is associated with 'aesthetic' stationery color for some reason. hence, easier to get my hands on. 👍🏼

Yellow

Now, this is from Pottermore. I was sorted once before (not Pottermore) into Ravenclaw but that was before I started picking colors that have some relation to my favorite things. Ravenclaw is blue by the way. So, Pottermore sorted me into Hufflepuff. My initial feeling was 'so I'm not a Gryffindor worthy' but soon after I'm like HASHTAG HOUSEPRIDE BITCHESSS! lol again, official merchandises are expensive as fucckkk and instead of stressing over that, I bought color that associates with my house color. Yellow.
THANK GOD for primark and online seller! #youthemvp
come to think of it, I once choose yellow coz Onew wore yellow jacket twice. Yes, i'm that crazy. hahaha

Peach 🍑

this is definitely becoz of that Ice Peach tea drink. I don't know what Peach the fruit real color is. I don't think it as pink as the emoji indicates. but I like that color. I think this is the pink that makes me like pink again. Then, I bought the Too Faced Sweet Peach Pallette. then that Nivea Delicious Drop Peach&Vanilla flavor lipbalm. then Jaehyun.

BONUS:

Red

*cue Taylor Swift - Red
LOL this one is the most random. I only ever pick this color when I'm buying gadget or its accessories. I know it started with that Sony Ericson w760 Walkman I once had. It wasn't entirely red but it accent was. I bought my sony viao, back then, in red coz it matched with my phone. I wanted to buy a red car just so it matched my phone and laptop. I didn't get to tho.
Now, I owned red laptop and a red car. but really, not becoz its my favorite. I can't put this color in my favorite list actually. Red color is more sentimental to me. My dad used to have a red car. Hmm.. I think that is why. That second last sentence, honestly, just pop up to the top of my head. huh



There ya go. What's behind the color that I pick.
but if you see me picking up color that is not in this list, its becoz its the only nice color that I can pick. Why my color not being there stop me from picking it up/ buying the thing, right? If you needed it, you just gonna deal with the color choices the kadai provides. 😜

What's your color story?

Harry Potter 2.17 version

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone turned 20 this year.

and JK Rowling released a limited edition Hogwarts House cover for the first book.

*bite nails*

I. LOVE. IT!

but that doesn't mean that I'm gonna buy it. House Pride or not.

I mean, If I were to succumb to this madness, my collection would look like this

LOOK. AT. IT.

but I'm not gonna.

It's pretty and I LOVE the scarf colored paper edges! argh! but

(there are going to be a lot of butt in this post)

let's be rational here.

If I were to have all four houses color, have them in paper back AND hard cover, it's just going to be like having 8 (NINE! if we include the copy I already have) copies of the same book!

its riddikulus!

wait. actually, I would've have 10. coz I have that big book with pictures version of the Philosopher's Stone book. :p

The point is, I think I have enough Harry Potter collection;
the complete series 

I read book 1-4 from my High School library. I only bought my copies when I started working.
I got book 5 as a bday gift from my sister.
and book 6-7 I bought on the released date. by this point, I was an addict. Harry Potter fanatic. 


and the on going illustration version of this series, by Jim Kay which I think come out once a year? 

I think getting my hands on Jim Kay version would be ok. although same story but at least this version is full of colors and illustration. ;)


and speaking of 'Have enough Harry Potter collection', don't get me started on the amount of Merchandises I have on this franchise.
Keychains,
Mugs,
Journals,
Phonecase,
DVDs,


and also, to those who keep suggesting I buy the Hogwarts Library collection

No, thank you.
it's pretty but really, no.

it's because I already have mine from 8/10 years ago.

and let's not get me started on how Harry Potter isn't my only obsessions!

I have Stationery, Kpop, Tupperware, BOOKS in general, Journals! obsessions to name a few.

I don't have money growing of trees, dammit!

I need to find a new hobby and obsession that don't involve spending money :P

anyway,
there goes my little rant.
but I'm pretty sure, if I had the money, I would've spent them on the-old-book-with-a-new-cover books in a heartbeat.

*shrug*

OH!
was browsing bookdepository.com for that House covered version and found below

I mean, how many version can you make?

P/S: Ms. Rowling, that is not a challenge, please don't answer by making any new ones. I am not a rich person nor do I have a rich parent to support me with my Harry Potter addiction. thank you.

House Cup falls on 22nd May

and Hufflepuff is at second place at the moment behind Slytherin.

this website couldn't more far fetch from the books; Gryffindor isn't always the top house.

or maybe because the Golden (Harry, Hermione and Ron) and Silver (Ginny, Neville and Luna) Trios are no longer the student there?

hmmm

. . .

House Pride

I am sooooo hyped up with this.

Duelling Club is getting so much fun these days and my fellow Hufflepuff is making awesome progress into winning that House Cup this year.

So, to comrade this hyped up feelings, I play with my nail polish again.

hehe

the yellow nail polish is pretty eff up and I don't know how to perfect it so it came out like that.

Hufflepuff for the win!!

a/n: I cleaned my nails off like couple of minutes later. I just not digging my ugly painted nails. at least I managed to take a picture ;D
