See No Sunlight book

I saw the book as part of a bookstore billboard in a mall near my office and it says Team Vampire (then the cover of New Moon) vs Team Angel ( and the breathtaking cover of Hush, Hush). Aren't we all intrigued by this book's cover. Clearly the saying "Don't judge this book by its cover" does not apply to this one because when you see its cover it will make you grab the copy and buy the book.
I bought the book at around 8pm of Saturday night and devoured the book until 4 in the morning of Sunday, it wasn't my intention not to let him see sunrise, I just could not put it down. Amidst all the vampire craze (not that I'm not a fan) I was secretly looking for something new but have similar concept, young adult's novel, mythical character, mysterious kind of guy, which I gladly found in the book.
It was nice to know a little something about angels, their rank and their somewhat political views as well. I like the twist of the story and how they are connected. I pictured Patch as Devil Jin in Tekken and found him attractive and sexy in a goth kind of way.
I feel somehow that development of romance between Patch and Nora weren't fully developed and could have added more contact or mysteries involving the two of them.
A lot might have compared this book to the Twilight Saga, which they have several things in common, (Spoiler Alert!) the Biology partners, mind reading thing, mysterious guy involved because of being a not supposed to be an existing character. But overall it was a good read, a very nice breather from the Vampire clan, maybe Patch can start his legion. Let us wait for Crescendo then.
But for now this one is Shelved.

Home is where the Heart is

You can take the Pinoy out of the Philippines but, you can't take the Philippines out of the Pinoy. In the case, food... - Nicanor David Jr. from "Kwentong Tambay", 2006 Ah this one is true, I've heard of it. I came from a family who works abroad, halos lahat sila, actually konti na nga lang kami dito sa Pilipinas e. Anyway, back sa topic. My sister lives in UK been there for quite some time and she went here in the Philippines after 5 years and the first thing she asked me to do is Dial 8-7000 (singing: Jollibee Delivery). My Dad is in USA for, well, a very long time now and once in a awhile if there is a family friend visiting Philippines we will ask them to bring my dad several frozen tapa from the famous Maty's in Prañaque which is in a microwavable container. Filipinos can endure the work and long hours abroad but they can't really resist not to look for Filipino food. I remembered my cousin who's in Singapore she was telling us how she craved for ric...

Weird of the weird

As you know, reading is the thing I love most and I can say things I know, like bits of trivia that I suddenly blurt out comes from the things I read, so there's a big chance that I dreamed of them as well. You know I'd like to dream about the handsome leading man in my Chic-lit books, or be the witty heroine from the magical world I once in a while read. But what are the odds of dreaming about a vampire. Nope. Not Edward Cullen but, traditional vampire, the blood sucking cruel creature we know. From my dream, he chased me, someone I know became a vampire and I really look succulent in his eyes so he attacked me and pin me down to suck the blood out of me,but not in the neck and looks sexy just like in the movies, no, he sucked my blood through my stomach, and I wonder if Vampire ever get High blood pressure, there were lots of fats from my belly. If you think that's th e weirdest of things, the next day I dreamt of a chimaera, a mythical creature who has a lion's head,...

For October

from Rick Riordan's site The Mark of Athena October 2, 2012 Annabeth is terrified. Just when she’s about to be reunited with Percy—after six months of being apart, thanks to Hera—it looks like Camp Jupiter is preparing for war. As Annabeth and her friends Jason, Piper, and Leo fly in on the Argo II , she can’t blame the Roman demigods for thinking the ship is a Greek weapon. With its steaming bronze dragon masthead, Leo’s fantastical creation doesn’t appear friendly. Annabeth hopes that the sight of their praetor Jason on deck will reassure the Romans that the visitors from Camp Half-Blood are coming in peace. And that’s only one of her worries. In her pocket Annabeth carries a gift from her mother that came with an unnerving demand: Follow the Mark of Athena. Avenge me. Annabeth already feels weighed down by the prophecy that will send seven demigods on a quest to find—and close— the Doors of Death. What more does Athena want from her? Annabeth’s biggest fear...
