Why am I absent?

Hey, guys!

I just want to make this quick little post to let you guys know that i haven't given up on my youtube channel or anything, it brings me so much joy to make videos and chat with you guys! But honestly, i have some health issues and they have gotten really worse in the past few weeks, and i have no strength to film and edit and stuff. It's not life-threatening or anything but it really scares me and it stops me from doing things I love, such as studying, seeing my friends, etc. I just want to say that I hope I get better so I can fill your feed with my ugly face hehe But anyways, i'll try to film on my better days but i hope you understand. (if you dont really care, that's okay too, but anyways)
So that's it, you'll see me when i feel a bit better :)
love you <3

Charmed: First Impressions

Ok, I know I'm super mega late to the party, but today I just started to watch the show Charmed. Yes, the 3 sister-witches (which includes Aria's mom, from PLL, which i'm very excited about because I love her) and crazy special effects.
I just wanted to get my impressions written to see how it'd go as the show goes on. So, let's jump right in.

 At first, I was scared to watch this show because i do not do well with horror, suspense, and all things that could scare me. I mean, I always have the fear that something will jump at my face in the screen, but i'm also afraid that i'll start not being able to sleep because spirits scare the crap out of me. But oh, the 90's tv shows... they are amazing. You can be the biggest chicken in the world, but you'll never have long lasting fear of the creatures and "scary" things that they present us. It's like the early seasons of NewWho and basically most of ClassicWho. The special effects are terrible, but the plot is amazing.
 Basically, 3 sisters, Prue, Phoebe and Piper, after the death of their grandma, go live together in her house, that was to be sold after she died. But, as they all grew up there and it was the family's house, they wanted to keep it. As the 3 arrive, in a stormy night, the 2 younger sisters are playing with a Ouija Board (this kind of thing scares the crap out of me, i never will use it or any kind of spirit thing, never, never, ugh) and it actually starts working. It spells the word "Attic" and Phoebe goes check the attic of the house and finds a book called the Book of Shadows. (in this part I was like WHY CANT IT BE THE BOOK OF LIGHT OMG I'LL NEVER SLEEP AGAIN, but after the special effects were played, i was ok). Then, she reads aloud the first page, which turns out to be the key to "unlock" the sisters' powers.
 It also says that 3 Charmed Sisters would fight evil in various forms, and protect the innocent. But also, evil witches (or warlocks) would try to get to them, because once a warlock kills you, they get your power. (I was thinking a lot about Sydney Sage then). So basically, after they got their powers, it's like a magnet attracts all sorts of evil towards them. It begins the Hunger Games, and the prize is their power.
 The characters start to use their power without knowing it, resulting in weird and convenient things, that are not explainable. For example, time control, telekinesis and being able to see things before they happen. Phoebe and Piper accept it quickly, because they know what they saw, but Prue struggles the most to accept her power. She knows that weird things are happening but she just doesn't want to believe it, she wants a normal life and not being the target of evil. You know, the usual. But after a while, she just accepts it and wants to take care of her sisters (being the oldest).
 So we have these 3 powerful and strong characters that are going to kick ass and have super amazing powers. I'm so going to marathon this show. Other characters to mention: a cute cat and the very handsome Inspector Andy. What I like about him, is that he accepts people's beliefs and respects them, not mocking or anything, just accepting that there are other cultures out there, that may seem crazy to us, but if it's doing no harm, then let them be.
  I think this show is my kind of show because it seems to have witty characters, heartbreak and a strong plot. And I mean... girl power. If you see my favorite books and TV shows, you'll know that i'm all about that (Buffy, Vampire Academy, The Hunger Games, Gilmore Girls, etc, etc)
 So those are my first impressions, and maybe I'll give you an update whenever I'm finished or at least have a better notion of the show. I hope it continues to be awesome!

Thanks for reading,
