Yes, I am a Doll

I was awarded/ tagged by pretty Amynaree a couple of weeks ago. Sorry it took me this long to post this! It's just that I wanted my post to be well-thought of :)

Here it is!

You're a Doll award

The rules are:

1. Remember to link back to the person who awarded you!

2. Select 5 more bloggers that you think are dolls and link them at the bottom.

3. Tell about a character from a book/ movie/ drama that you like most.

4. Post the picture and title on your blog  permanently if you like.

I originally thought of choosing one of my fictional heroines, Rebecca Bloomwood from Sophie Kinsella's Shopaholic series. Like her, I also cannot control myself all the most of the time when I am out shopping (or even when I am in the convenience of my own home, doing online shopping). I find her really funny (the books have lots of LOL moments), and think it's awesome that (like all romantic comedies) everything turns  out all right for her in the end. And of course, she always has her boyfriend-turned-husband - the gorgeous Luke Brandon - by her side. It was turned into a movie last year (which in my opinion should have been given a different title seeing as how it completely deviated from the events in the book. Isla Fischer did a great job portraying the role though.) and Ms. Bloomwood's name (and reputation) became even more famous.

"That moment. That instant when your fingers curl round the handles of a shiny, uncreased bag - and all the gorgeous new things inside it become yours. What's it like? It's like going hungry for days, then cramming your mouth full of warm buttered toast. It's like waking up and realizing it's the weekend. It's like the better moments of sex. Everything else is blocked out of your mind. It's pure, selfish pleasure."

"When I shop, the world IS better. And then it's  not. So I do it again."

- Rebecca  Bloomwood

Confessions of a Shopaholic (movie)

I wanted to choose her at first. But then again I thought, "Hey, I may shop a LOT, but I am still conscientious. Besides, I do not shop beyond  my means. I do not have a credit card, I pay for everything in cash, and I make sure I do not spend money that I do not have." So yeah, that's one thing we don't have in common. But then again, for all her flaws, I still have to say that she is a very lovable and adorable character. There's a Ms. Bloomwood in all of us. :)

So after that long introduction, I now say that I chose Jasmine.

Okay, this is further proof that I may be 19 23 but I act (and feel) younger than my age (sometimes I want to attend a crash course on maturity XD). Jasmine may not have her own movie (she is Aladdin's  leading lady in the Disney movie Aladdin) unlike the other Disney Princesses like Snow White, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty and Ariel (Belle shares billing with the Beast) but I still like her best. I even wanted to dress like her on a Halloween party we had in Elementary so imagine how upset I was when I learned costumes were only for Kindergartens.

So why do I like her?

Simple! It's because she has a pet tiger! (I have been wanting to have a tiger for a pet for the longest time!)

who wouldn't want to pet Rajah?

I'm kidding of course, that's not the only reason. I like Jasmine because aside from the fact that she's beautiful and sexy, she is also brave, spunky, and knows how to use her sexuality to her advantage. She did not want to be bound by the rules of Agrabah and marry someone she does not love so her family's lineage can carry on having the throne, so she escapes to the marketplace where she meets our dashing Aladdin. And remember how she managed to get the truth from "Prince Ali Ababwa" that he and Aladdin are the same person? And how she flirted with Jafar so he won't see that Aladdin and his friends has come? Oh I can go on and on! And of course, one of my favorite movie scenes ever is in this film - their magic carpet ride while singing A Whole New World is one of the most romantic and sweetest scenes ever. ♥♥

And because my Mother is awesome and  she feeds the child in me, she bought me this book:

Princess Treasury

the book is so thick and heavy! like an old-fashioned story book :)

Table of Contents

The book contains stories of the six Disney Princesses, with illustrations lifted from their animated movies

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs

Sleeping Beauty

Cinderella

The Little Mermaid

Aladdin

(how cool is it that Jasmine is the one in the cover even though it is Aladdin's story? :D)

there's Jasmine looking grumpy because he thinks "Prince Ali Ababwa" is such a stuck-up :D

"Prince Ali Ababwa" visiting her for a late-night rendezvous awwww

Have I ever told you I have like 80 necklaces? These are two of them:

I ♥ Princess Jasmine necklaces

I actually have another one (originally from Disneyland. Pendant is in gold setting) but I wasn't able to include it in the photo x_x

I have two of the necklace in the right (I bought the other one and then Ana gave me that as a gift.)

And here I attempt to channel the Princess Jasmine in me:

except that the only likenesses I can see are our jet-black hair and the color of our tops :D

That was quite long! Now I am tagging and awarding these ladies who I think are real-life dolls!
