Reading Machine

I started Meg Cabot's "Avalon High" at around 8 in the evening because I could not sleep anymore and just waiting for my time to get ready for work. I told myself that I won't bring the book with me to work because well my copy is quite heavy but ofcourse after an hour I decided to bring it because I could not wait to get home and go back to reading. All my seatmate were shocked because they witnessed how I devoured the book because not even half of my shift I finished the book. I got a comment from my co-worker that when I am reading it seems I'm in a different world because I was not talking nor listening to any office talks going around. My seatmate said"Whoa, aren't you a reading machine?" he said, I laughed because then I realized I am very near the end of the book.
I just would like to say, "Ms. Cabot, I am a big fan, officially" .
I like the writing style, how it makes me picture the characters and even hearing myself saying their dialogue and how it is supposedly delivered. I can feel myself connecting with the story and again that feeling of wanting to be in the book.
The hanging moments makes you turn the pages more and would not want to put the down the book until you get to the last page. The mystery surrounding it along with hystory, romance and even English Lit, with the poems. I learned something, of course we all know the love triangle between King Arthur, Lancelot and their Lady Guinevere, but we seem to forget the other lady who loved no matter what (Elaine) or the Lady who will take us be it at our worst not just at our best (Lady of the Lake).

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...

The Reading Challenge

At the start of the year there were two reading challenges I committed myself to The Goodreads Reading Challenge where you will decide how many books you can read for the year. The other one I got from my cousin but upon searching in Google it's a Popsugar Reading Challenge.  I must have underestimated my annual calendar because I challenged my self to red 50 books in Goodreads. I thought "50 books? Oh that's nothing, I have all the time in the world." And guess what? It's mid of November and here's my reading challenge. Apparently I didn't plan on being too busy during mid year but I'm not complaining I just didn't expect it to be like that. Still, I'm happy to I have read 25 books so far. And these are mostly YA books. What's with YA anyway? Am I old to be reading it? But that's another blog entry I suppose. I am happy to discover new authors that I will sure follow (Sarah Haas, Cassandra Rose Clarke) and the likes. With these 2...

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,...
