Counting to Breaking Dawn

From my Archives

Posted by me last Aug 4, '08 7:55 AM

For People who has been talking to me these past few days, they know my object of obssession, the final book of the Twilight Saga, "Breaking Dawn" and at long last, my wait is over, from the time NIca introduced it to me, borrowed from her the second book, and finally bought the third book, not wanting to wait for others to finish the book so I can read it and then now my wait is over since I held the next book in my arms.
I was anxious for the book, getting so excited by rereading the three books, appearing them in my dreams (Sorry, Nica, may ala Bella syndrome ata sya, para mapanaginipan) and hardly going to sleep just thinking of it. Hahaha, I was so excited that I was the first in line when the bookstore opened, well, second, because the first one is a ten year old girl from St. Paul. Once I got the copy, i opened the package and scan the pages of the book, sniff the smell of the paper and run my fingers on the first page. Hahaha, I felt silly doing it, but then, I felt so attached to the book that I prepared myself well to start reading the first page.
I put the down the book for a while to blog what I feel and after this I'll be back with my reading. To the others, Happy Reading!

Holy Bummin' Week

While others are out of town relaxing in a rest house somewhere, or swimming mostly in the south, I spent my holy week mostly at work and home alone in our house. My Mom went to Bicol and spent the Holy Week there while also preparing for the 80th Birthday of my Lola on June. From Monday to Thursday here was my schedule, water the plants before I even put my bag down, feed the cat, mop the floor, wash the dishes, play with my 9 months old niece and go to sleep until 8pm. At 8pm, prepare my baon for work, browse net and check facebook, then take a bath and go to work and same thing again the next day,pretty boring huh? but Friday to Sunday was different. I avail of our VTO (Volountary Timed Out) well the whole Friday I slept like I will not sleep again, play LAN games in the computer until 4am and I was too lazy to prepare something for breakfast because by this time I was really hungry since i slept the whole day, so what else should I do but dial the ever reliable Dial 8-MCDO. ...

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...

He Can't face the Music

An English phrase was born through a Chinese story, you might be wondering how is that? So the story goes… Once there was an Emperor who loves music, he so loved it he organized a Royal Orchestra. The flutist of the Royal orchestra doesn’t really know how to play the flute, he just blows the instrument but no music was coming out of the flute, but he the benefits for being in the Royal orchestra, lodging, first class treatment and food fit for a King. One Day the King asked each musician to play for him, the Flutist said he was sick at the night of the performance, so the King send his Royal Physician to check the flutist, and the Physician reported that the Flutist was not sick. When the King ordered for the Flutist to be captured, the Physician told the Royal Guards… "The Impostor Can’t Face The Music" I chose to write about this because even the story is old, it is still applicable in the modern world. There are impostors, pretenders whatever we call them, but when confron...
