THE CHOSEN ONES (VOL. 1)

Here's a rundown on anything and everything blood-rushing, spine-tingling, and effortlessly exciting that might bring you the equal ounce of happiness too, as told by the editors!

ALIEN STICKERS FROM @_PROJECT_AA_

JELOU SAYS: I love aliens as much as I love stickers, so just imagine my extraterrestrial heart jumping upon receiving this quirky mail! I know that there's already such a gigantic wave of online shops willing to fulfill every teenage crave now, but if there's something I'd gladly recommend at any day, let it be Project AA (@_project_aa_ on Instagram)! Browse through their collection and you'll see their long line of designs ranging from old cartoons to emojis (plus, they have pins as well). The stickers are definitely the perfect match for the notebooks I'll be using this brand new school year starting in August! Well, what more can I say-- good quality, reasonable price, and smooth service all in one!

FLEECE BLANKET

DIANNE SAYS: Since rainy days and sweater weather have already been here, I was super excited that another cuddly was added to my collection of fleece blankets to keep me warm during the season! This one's extra special because it has these cute owls, which, by the way, is also one of the many things I am in love with. Don't blame me if I wouldn't get up during a rainy morning; blame these fluffy blankets!

HOLD ON 'Till MAY (ACOUSTIC VERSION) BY PIERCE THE VEIL

TONI SAYS: Acoustic songs give me so much more emotions than their original versions, most especially this particular song, which tells about neglect and the downfall of love. Although this song isn't one the happiest out there, I love the way each lyric and each guitar strum pulses me with the band's own feelings. Do give it a listen.

WILLIAM AND PRINCESS’ ADORABLE NAP TIME

ERRIS SAYS: Cats can be confusing when it comes to their affections, but nap time really proves how much they care. William and Princess always opt to sleep beside my legs. I don't know if it's because I'm hot (physically), but I appreciate the moment all the same. Having cats is a wonderful thing.

BARD THE UKELELE

AUDREY SAYS: First of all, I don't know how to play any instrument. Second, this guy is actually not mine; it's my brother's. Lastly, it's pretty silly, I have been choosing between my art stuff and my other non-related stuff since the first day of the week, but I chose this one to post out of nowhere (maybe I panicked and chose the closest thing to me and took a photo of it. . . Who knows?). Actually, I chose this little guy over my art materials because whenever I feel the need to comfort myself or I feel the need to boost my creativity, it's this thing I always want to play.

GREY’S ANATOMY (TV SERIES)

TIN SAYS: I've started watching this show because of my friend and since then I've been really hooked to it. This show follows the lives of surgical interns and residents (wait 'til you get to know McDreamy) at the fictional Grey-Sloan Memorial Hospital (formerly Seattle Grace Hospital). This show really makes me happy despite the fact that it's a drama series because I learn a lot from each episode: I get lessons about life, love, and friendship, plus the humor is always there. So, yeah! I just don't like the part where Shonda Rhimes, the creator and producer, kills my favorite characters (oops! Spoiler alert).

SHORT POEMS FROM POEMS PORN

RIZIA SAYS: I've always been a big fan of literary works, especially if it is obviously made with deep meaning because of the depth of heart and passion. Poems Porn is one of my favorite reads because although it is most of the time short, its soul-thrusting words enter and gush deep within my feels. It is a compilation of poems from different people around the world, yet when I read it, it feels like it connects and bind races. It is quite odd that you would be overwhelmed by how strangers can also feel the same way you do and express it into words that only your heart can describe. As a famous saying goes, “Turn your wounds into wisdom”. Instead of wallowing about things you can’t change, you can always do something to turn things up and make it more beautiful. Who knows? Your words today may be the hope for someone on the other side of the globe.

If you feel something extraordinary for something, then that source of great feels deserves to be posted on The Chosen Ones! Got anything to share? E-mail us at charliencharlotte97@gmail.com with the subject "The Chosen Ones" with a short description + photo of it and you might just see your favorite-anything here in the next volume!
