Hello guys, its weekend Alhamdulillah. May all of you have a very great weekend. The weekdays was hectic right? Yeah I feel you, but that doesnt meant we dont deserve a great weekend right? ^^ #TGIW then.

1. I've been lately thinking who am I gonna be if I'm not a graphic designer, just imagine what would I be if there is another dimension of me? (Firebird's influence).

You know, at primary school we all have that What You Gonna Be When You Grow Up Sessions with our teacher, and because this may be the only occupation that I know ever exist, then I choose to be a teacher. My parents also both are teachers.

The thing is I'm not so good in handling little creatures, im an introvert and the only child of the family, so having siblings was actually peculiar to me. Haha, tho I always wanted a little sisters or brothers before but hey that what Allah's planned to me. Me and other children - was beyond imagination. I always make other child cries. I dont know why.

2. As I'm mentioned here, I'm currently having a book diet, therefore I'm gonna just buy around 3 books for this months. As I'm actually saving myself some yen to go to Guangzhou, Yeah!

4. Since I have bought Caraval, the second and third book that Im planning to pre ordering ACOWAR and Harry Potter Limited Edition from BookaliciousMY. It will arrive on May btw. 

5. I've rearranged my March's TBR books which gonna includes:

6. I'm planning to do a series about My Photography Routine, cause I have lots to says and it was full of facts, I hope my reader does not get dizzy with it cause Im such a noob when it comes to delivering facts. 😅

Read : 7 Essential Tips From Professional Photographer That I Applied on My Photography

7. I also planning to move Hundred Pages into Wordpress. Me and my partner in crime currently working on it by testing it locally first, if things are okay and good to go then we will be moving into Wordpress sooner, This weekend I spending a lil bit time to survey any drolling templates available on the internet.

8. I've been contacting my bbffs to do a collaboration review with me, just to spark our review routine once in a while and stay tunes tho! :D 

9. I've been trying using Grammarly recommended by Afifah, and it works like a magic.

Yeah I know that every blogger love to have that bombastic post where can drive so much engagement. It was not a crime for doing so in fact it was a habit of any wise blogger to deliver the best to their reader. Just sometimes, thinking too much into delivering a bombastic update can lead you (even me) to procrastination  in updating our blog. Do you reckon this imaginative words 'I dont have any useful or amazing stuff to deliver to my reader, why on earth I shud update my blog with some pieces of trash?'

Personally, I do have the same problem and I began to dig why do us, as a dedicated blogger sometimes feeling so down when we does not perform well in our blogging life. Etc, no idea what to post about. They were so many reasons why we dont wanna update our blog but lets not forget there are also very strong reason to keep our blog updates (yeah even when you worn out of idea):

1. Your Essence

We are leaving in a sea of too many knowledge to bear. Social medias seems to be more updated than the times itself, and we felt left behind for all the outsource information. Somehow it distract our focus so much and we feel like just screw the world and walk away.

But know this, every person got their own essence, which no want can take that from you. You are unique in your own way. You may be that bookworm who love to be at home reading, that gamer who have their own epic battle, that armature cooker who love to do their own experiment finding the world greatest taste that tickling your buds. We all have our unique story to told. And never will it be another person story.

2. Focus On Simplicity

One thing that I love when I read other people blog is the simplicity of their writing, even me too trying my best to implement it. Writing should be simple cause let face it people, we are not doing any fictional stories here, we are actually telling the truth, the kind of thing we tell our friends or parents or siblings about, that contemporary life we living with.

The best thing about simplicity is when you implement them in writing, you'll know that you have written more than the words itself, you are giving others the chance to know you and embrace you for who you are. 

Just be the simple version of yourself, you'll know you are at your best!

3. Step Back and Check Your Draft

This was the biggest cheat of all blogger routine Drafts! Admit it every blogger have tons of drafts or that supposed to be next blog post you're working with. Like I said before, sharpen your draft and focus only the simple things. People yet a simple human being do enjoy to read something informative, easy to do thingy, cause we are just simple as that. #senangterhibur

4. Never Underestimated Your Reader and Blogger Circle.

Readers are delicate little creatures that need to be coddle most of the time ~ like forever.

Which blogger doesnt love their reader? Lols. In fact, reader were the very reason a blogger do exist. We want someone to be force to read our pieces , and of course as a wise blogger we are dedicated to give them what best for them from our very own experience or research. 

But a reader also can be a blogger, obviously right? I do personally blog walk a lot when I worn out of idea, and actually there were so much inspiration out there. Some blogger spirit that been passed in the form of writing will do the trick. Read and read more.

Tips! When some blogger doing facts, tags, haul etc, I tot that hey I can do that too, I'll just simply apply the same concept but come out with my version of writing presentation. And it was actually pretty fun. :D Just dont forget to credits them for the original idea. 

Your readers and your blogger friend were your source of ideas. Engagement is crucial, remember that quotes on what you give you get back? And when you give more you'll gain even more. 

May you have a wonderful week. Me? As hectic like what Allah want it to be, but no worry, I still can work on it. So I stumbled into Erin blog about 15 blogging facts and I feel I wanna do the same fact-tag-along too. Just for fun since my current idea were still under maintenance.

1. My first blog was named notadaripadahatiku.blogspot.com (I delete it because it was too childish).

2. I didnt have any niche but since Jun 2016 I thought I wanna write about business thingy but now im slowly turning myself into a book blogger. 

3. I found out that book blogger was not actually doing book reviews or so but have a more noble goal especially when it comes to influence other people how to alter perspective towards a book. Sometimes a book itself can be so scary and wicked as it will turn one personal life upside down *okay it was a lil bit too much. 

4. I upload my photography for blogging from my smartphone, because am too lazy to transfer it into computer. (dslr>phone>blogger platform)

5. I have met several blogger in real life which are both awesome virtually and physically. Some says that a blogger have low self esteem but turn out that all the blogger I met have their own way to life their life to the fullest. 

6. Im suck when it comes to html coding, therefore my blog actually have another writer which working on the backbone of this blog. I present to you my partner in crime Hamzah Jamad the geek boy. 

7. One of my most long blogger friend now is my partner in business at Borneo T-Shirt. 😂

8. I personally check every footprints left on my chatbox and do my best to read their post as they read mine. ^^

9. I want a domain for myself but I feel that my blog was too far to eligible for its own domain. 

10. I usually work on my post at early in the morning and after work night. Its not easy to keep your idea spicing up when you in work, hence I jotted down my ideas briefly on notes apps in my phone. 

11. I met my soulmate from blogger life. Teehee. 

12. My blog walk priority was from my blog list on the right bar. 

13. I dont have blogging planner in hand but I do have tons of draft. Most of my blogging idea were stored in my mind till I've got the chance to write it all down.

14. I reviewed and checked how my actual post gonna be 3-4 times before publishing it. 

15. I set all my paragraph into justified mode in every post. :D 

Now, lets talk about your blogging facts shall we? 

Just this morning, I headed myself to Robert Galbraith websites to check if there is another upcoming cormoran strike adventures only to found the books will be adapted into a life series! I am totally excited and spending 30 minutes alternately explained to my mom about RG and digging behind the scene news on twitter.

They were just like the duo that I imagined them to be. Oh guys this gonna be huge and awesome! I keep blabbering about cormoran strikes series and I'm totally miss to read them. Head [here] if you havent got a clue on what am I talking about. To be short, Cormoran Strike series is about solving high profile mystery and Robert Galbraith were actually J.K Rowling pseudonym. How cool is that? My heart beating excitedly fast just by writing this. 

Slowly, brick by brick. Patients is everything. As I'm getting my niche into a book blogger life, so I began to compile about bookish stuff on Pinterest. Feel free to save or pinned whatever cool kids say nowadays about the board. 

I just love the idea to read more. My insurance agent once tell me, that they were a major different between a person with knowledge and a person without knowledge. I strive myself to be better on my writing tho and hence delivering more informative benefits towards my reader. :)

Getting healthy and fit - My dad just bought a treadmill for himself and along with the purchase he got a tricyle machine which he put on our living room. That's gonna be my cue. XD

Book Reading Challenge - I'm struggling to finish a non fiction book today because its just have less than 100 pages. Not to mentioned I have one book behind schedule. :D Its okay, slowly and gradually I'll catch my momentum. Sometimes I just need to thank myself for being so positive. 😉

Collaboration - I'm thinking of doing collaboration with fellow blogger, some had publicly offering guest post on their blog so I wont missed that chance. So this week I may work with some ideas I have in mind to create a simple but informative post for the collaboration. (I'm just getting used with this)

Beauty - Hmm this wasnt actually pinned on my resolution but I have my own way in maintaining that girl side of me. And maybe I'll share a bit on my blog later, its gonna be awkward because I'm not fond into beauty thingy before, but now I love it as much I love to be healthier. Is it me or anyone ever think that beauty = healthy? :3

Who fond to have a collaboration with me? Hehe. 

To be frank, I have hosted a giveaway of my own, and the winner to that giveaway was Liyana Jasmi, and regardless her busy SPM year she's making an effort to post an unboxing version of my giveway. Thank you so much well. ^^

If you missed it. My giveaway is about unboxing things, that kind of mystery box you eager to know what inside it, I just love to make people smile. And I'm glad she loved it. 

This were her embedded post, headed here for the original post. 😍 Thanks Liyana, u deserved it. And I'll actually joined and try my best if you gonna host the same giveaway concept. Hehe.

Waking up today and placing myself in front of my desk and suddenly I became blackout from my surrounding. Just once, the reality snapped your face

1. I just received my Bookish Bundle Subscription Books last wednesday. The theme was Eternal Bond. Its not what I expected but Im still happy tho. Its my first subscription box and I'm enjoying it. My office mate know how eager I am while poslaju bro handing me the box. The joy of getting a present for your own self  was all that I felt, I scream (or maybe glow) for it by the way. :D

2. I've been in a bookstore and found myself reaching for Zodiac series, Im actually skimming that novel and accidentally read that part of how Rho choosing someone "dead" over Hysan so I dont wanna read that series ever again. If only I can get Hysan for myself, I'll take care of his feeling more than you Rho. Pfft. Okay its just a fiction, just a fiction Eyqa, it doesnt have to do with your life.

3. Im changing my blog theme color over again and get a new template because I'm thinking a new kind possible way presenting my blog.

I love on how the sky looks at night and I tot maybe Im gonna go with black, blue, yellow and white color pallette. Cause I'm actually missing Night Court so much and Feyre paintings, and Rhysand flirting.

The new cover released for ACOWAR was really beautiful. Me and Fatina actively messaging each other on our social media claiming for Rhysand exciting ourselves for the upcoming ACOWAR, only four months left! Haha. I wish Claudy can join the excitement but she was a Crows Club. XP 

4. I decide to consider myself a malay novel, since the last experience was not really reassurance. The problem I usually face for any malay novel that I bought the storyline just too cliche, some characters was too much kind, like when people crying you'll usap-usap kepala mereka, dan bila jahat it'll turn out they will be so baddd (sampai tak tercapai akalmu jahatnya) and in the end they'll just dead or enter prison or mental hospital. But that does not meant there were no good and incredible author out there and of course I'll hunt and read their book. A malay novel, sound nice if I can write one, well of course in paranormal genre. :3

5. I need to study more on how to reviewing books the proper way cause I feel bored reading my own reviewing style. Haha. Keep improving right?

How you spend your weekend? Any box need unboxing? :D

Yesterday I have spend my quality time with my gal, the very reason why I ask her to drive me to IMAGO was because I have a need to be full filled on Kaison. So far that I know, Imago's Kaison was the biggest outlet in Sabah, and Imma just a girl who have few things to buy. 

Its weird that actually I have decide to buy lavendar colour of flower but end up with yellow + orange. It was just so warm and indeed it is wonderful. Kind of rustic feel like that and I like it. 

I'm not really an expert in flower therefore I dont know what will it called, is it wild flower of grass flower? But sure it is beautiful. 

⫸ Potpourri

⫸ Wool Pillow's cover

I can resist on how much soft were this things, I'll make sure the give it a good used.

⫸  Dry flower

Some of dry flower again, obviously I love dead and living things. Dry was between it, so yeah. 

⫸ Star Light String

I just love this stuff so I bought it.

Would you guys guess what am I about to do with all of these stuff? 😁

I've changed DEWI into Hundred Pages. 

Im tired of showing my feminine sites (tho it does not really shows significant different 😂) so I changed my blog name to words that for me resembles me the most, it took me awhile to realize my passion towards reading and also writings.



Hundred Pages was derived from my actual habit as a book lover, I fond to target in a day to read at least hundred pages so I would not be haunted by not completing my 2017 reading challenge. Teehee. Because of that I'm slowly becoming a bookaholic. Not to mention my tons of TBR que. 😁 I have no choice for being a kind of bibliophile myself.

Since I want to get serious in booklogging therefore I started a bookstagram of my own. I love to take book photos and instead of uploading them on my personal IG account I decide to niche my passion and Pufff! My bookstagram just comes alive. Plus bookstagram community was awesome and I'd love to be part of it. I have so much to learn tho.

Just so you wonder my IG name is @hundpaj lols, it was the only available name after trying a few words, but I guess it will work just fine as the pronunciation was almost the same.

Thank you for my biggest inspiration and bookish girlfriend who already start their bookish thingy, you know who you are and please know that I love you gals so much 😙 And thank you for being my reader God know who you are, please blessed them and let them be my strength in this long journey.

Alhamdulillah cause I've been living in earth for 24yrs, I have face a lot of challenge but there is one thing that I not entirely understand - myself. 

Through this 24 years of living there is so much habits that make me feel that I have split personalities cause I dont understand why am I doing that things or the other things, it was just so weird and peculiar. I should live with Ms Peregrine's on the time lapse. Ok joking, but behold then, my biggest confession on my peculiar habit:

Lol, because this book was so addicting and even seducting me to read. Grrr. So then there was the story where I complete my #2 reading of the year. Haha. 

4. I just cant wait to read A Court of Thorns and Roses. But it need to stay on the que. This month I have 2 book series need to be completed. Like the picture above. Last night I have this feeling on just wondering around Popular, just to see if they were selling books that I have in mind? I was searching for The Program by Suzanna Young because I was so fascinated reading Hotel For The Lost and wanna give a try on her other books, but yet dissapointed because her other books does not available on the outlet. 

5. Im tired of reading paranormal and mystery and thrilling books so I bought Zodiac by Romina Russell for a changing of genre a bit. The cover was soo beautiful. Its time for Sci Fi! 

6. Sorry for the long post but here's a potato. :3 

7. What are your planning for the first 2017 weekend? Where would you go? 😎

I hereby, wish to all my reader

🎆Happy New Year🎆

May you have a great day! I was still on my day off before returning to work tomorrow so here's are my planning for the whole 2017. And please pray for me you beautiful creatures of my readers. I love you all. :D

1. Getting married. 

This is the year alhamdulillah. But I need to sort of many of things. So earlier this year I'm planning to drown myself with a lot of Islamic teaching about marriage, how to brighten up baitul muslim with Sakinnah, Mawaddah wa rahmah. Islamic teaching for children - that kind of things. I know it will be a long learning process but I need to get ready right? 

I feel that this year my blog gonna contains a lot of romantic stuff. Pfft I hope not cause it was not really my forte, maybe a bit or two will do. Haha. 

Soon in the middle of 2017 then we will start planning the big day. 6 months preparation for a simple walimah that what it takes right? 

2. Getting healthier and fitter.

Eating those chocolates and high calories food just bring me the most guilty pleasure ever. So this year I just wanna do it correctly. Its hard for me to stay on track but I must try. Those who give up before trying is already a failure right? I dont wanna be that person. 

So what am I gonna do basically 

🍲 Drink a lot of water at least 3 L per day

🍲 Minimize processed food

🍲 Take a lot of vege (I'm not a vege person and I still learning to eat it, no wonder right?)

🍲 Having fruits in between

🍲 Avoid fast food

🍲 Having only a handful serving of rice on each meals

🍲 Exercise at least 3 times a week. 

3. Planning for my company KPI each month

Basically, its just about financial planning, develop management system into the next level and provide my company with the correct tools to smooth daily challenges. 

4. 100 books reading challenges

Since I've been challenging myself for 100 books this year. A week according to my calculation I'll be reading 7-8 books. Teehee. I usually spending 300$-500$ in books per month, On 2017 im gonna change all those $$$ involved into knowledge. Yeehaa.

5. Updating blogging into the next level.

I love writing. It was like you having these two different career in life. Lols. So my planning for this year on blogging areas gonna be:

🖎 Having a domain + hosting

🖎 Getting strict in updating weekly

🖎 Release three to four bombastic post. Lols

So thats what on my mind and what Imma gonna do for the next couples of months. So what are your resolution and what sort of plan you gonna do?

How do you think of Dewi new look? I hope you like it as much that I do. I realize that as the day passed it will be challenge enough to struggle in this life, therefore I change Dewi, to uplift just a lil bit of spirit for the upcoming obstacles. Both for readers and me. 

There's so much happening actually in my life, but there is several things I want to feature here, to make it fun, lets play random facts game + 2016 round up. Let see how well you know Dewi, or even me? Haha.
