It's a start

Hey, Jess here!

Well. Today marks te start of something new. I have thought about starting a blog for a while now and today it is finally happening. Of course I don't expect it to become anything big. I mean, who does when they start something similar to this, right?

To be honest, I am quite scared. Why? Well, I would like it if I can entertain people with what I have to say (because I love entertaining people in real life too), but I'm not exactly the most outgoing person out there. In fact, I'm quite shy. It has gotten a lot better as I got older, but it's in my character and that makes it hard to chance. Fortunately not everyone sees it as a flaw. Another reason why it is a little scary, is because English isn't my first language. Even though I like it more than my own language, I know I do make mistakes every now and then. I just hope people will bare with me. Or even point out the mistakes so I can learn from them =)

But enough about being scared. I'd like to use this moment to introduce myself a little bit (which will be continued later of course).

Now, I would love to share my interests with people here and these interests do sometimes really differ from each other. My greatest passion is art. I'm not that good, and there are many people out there who are much better than me, but I just love drawing and painting and doing all other kinds of crafting. It makes me feel good even on bad days. So be sure to expect that. But beside that, I love gaming. These are mostly games with a story in it, but not always. Another thing is reading. To be honest, I have more books than I can probably ever read. Why? Because I buy 3 of them before I can finish 1... Maybe that's a little exaggerated, but I made my point, haha. This reading leads to more of my interest: I love things like history and mythology. If I had more books about this, it would be so awesome. And finally I have always loved animals. For as long as I remember I have loved them and treassured them and I would love to have as many as possible in my house whenever that's possible!
As I said, this will be continued, because I will just keep on going like this. I do hope there's someone out there who's willing to get to know me. And I would love it even more to bring a smile on someone's face (someday).

To be continued...

"Assassin's Creed; The Secret Crusade" Book review

Hey, Jess here! Me, a huge fan of the Assassins Creed game series, is also a hug fan of the Assassins Creed book series. What a coincidence! No, not really, haha. I can't remember when I discovered the books, but I'm definitely sure that I did. Though there is a little catch. Not all the books have been written according to the chronological order from the games. This won't be a problem at all, I'll just follow the games' order and I'll mention in what year the books have been written. Easy peasy lemon squeezy (or something like that)! Assassin's Creed; The Secret Crusade This book was written in 2011 by Oliver Bowden. This is not the first book he's written, but the story is about Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad who is the first Assassin from the first game. Right of the bat I want to talk about the thing I find the most awesome about the books Bowden has written about Assassins Creed. His books don't just follow the stories of the games. It...

God research: 2. Hou Yi

Hey, Jess here! So I kind of let the game decide for me which god I was going to discuss next. In Smite there is a game mode that's called Assault. In this game mode you het a random god picked out for and you have to do it with that one. Though you do have the option to switch with one of your teammates, but only if they want that too. Because of this, I said to myself "whichever one you get to play with, that will be the one you'll discuss next". And so it happened... Hou Yi in the right upper corner, next to the World Tree, taking aim at the suns.   Hou Yi is from the Chinese mythology and he was a famous archer. He is mostly known from the myth of the Ten Suns. This story is one of the most famous Chinese myths and takes place in prehistoric times. Back then a week consisted of 10 days instead of 7. For every day there was a sun and a sun bearer, also called a Jun-raven, that would take place in the sky for that day. These sun bearers were the sons of...

God Research: 7. Chang'e

Hey, Jess here! Quite a while ago already, I wrote about Hou Yi. In this story I mentioned the name Chang'e a few times, because she is Hou Yi's wife. Then it so happened that I were to play Chang'e in a match of Assault in Smite, so now it's time to talk about her. Just like her husband, Chang'e is from the Chinese mythology. She is a beautiful woman who now lives on the moon.  This makes her the moon goddess. But she wasn't always that. There are at least two versions of her story and some details have even more variations. Version 1 Source: https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chang%27e#/ media/File:Chang%27e_flies_to_the_moon_-_Project_ Gutenberg_eText_15250.jpg When Chang'e still was a young, but already beautiful girl, she actually carried the name Heng'e. At that time she worked in the Jade Emperor's palace which was in heaven. In this palace resided the immortals, good people and also fairies. But one day, Heng'e broke a very ...
