Timeless Kiss

For the first day of August I chose to blog this book, well not really chose because it is way overdue already, finished reading it some time ago, but because of hectic schedule and sudden shift of my time, I wasn’t able to write about it.

I came across this book because of Beastly, I watched the film first because (ok fine,I’ll admit it, I’m a Hudgens fan, what? What’s wrong with that?) then a friend of mine told me to read the Beastly book, so I did, but that will be another blog entry (hopefully).

Just from the title I knew it was Sleeping Beauty’s story. “A Kiss in Time” who wouldn’t guess that? But I liked the fact that Alex Finn rewrote these classic fairy tales relived it in the modern times, how else are we going to relate to this? What I didn’t anticipate is our young heroine’s bratty character, well if you’re beautiful and a princess you couldn’t help but be that, besides nobody’s perfect.
On the other hand our young lad in the story is different from the knight in shining armour character, a problem child but has a lot of talent only not given a chance for it to be put into use. He is innovative and reasonable, street smart just like modern prince should be.

I like “A Kiss in Time” because it is funny, it is not dragging, it is modern but still have the classic feel of the original fairy tale. Kudos to Miss Finn for bringing our fairy tales and retelling it to the children of Xbox and playstation. Making it timeless.

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...
