Book Series

Harry Potter started all these fuzz...
These days I check out books by making sure they are not part of a 5-7 book series, because once you start you can't stop. Sometimes I feel like buying the book not because I like it but because I have to, because it makes the other part, lonely and I myself feels incomplete. I'm sure the marketer, publisher will be very happy to know this because their tactics worked on me.

As word of mouth travels faster than a fax machine, I started reading "Twilight" as the first book of the series and later on found myself waiting for the bookstore to open and buy the fourth and final installment "Breaking Dawn". As the Vampire fever pitched I saw the cover of "Fallen" as a billboard near my office then jumped in excitement as I learned "Crescendo is out already.
I watched "Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief" first and thought it would be nice to read it, thus, completing the five books for the "Percy Jackson" series.

Now, I have "The Lost Hero" waiting on my bedside table for me to pick it up and read it, because honestly I do not know if I want to read it, since I know I'll be gaga waiting for the next book.
These series is all because the success of all seven books of "Harry Potter" and what do you know it works, because reading this series is like eating Pringles.

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...
