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).

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...

How To Be Interesting So That Other Can Envy and Notice You

My whole 32 years of existence, ok, minus the toddler years where I don’t really care; I want to be wanted, desirable, likable and according to Google, to achieve this you must be interesting and as part of my research that’s why  I came across this book. I hunted for this book in the hope that I can get tips so I can be interesting. In the cover it says:   Rule # 1. One must be attractive .  – If you are such a good friend or sister you will tell your mates that its personality that wins. I agree, but for the others to notice you, you must be attractive or else they will not make that second look or  make an effort to get to know you thus you are not given the chance to showcase your great personality. So, yes, a nod to this rule #1. Rule #2. One must be friends with other attractive people – Ever heard of the saying “Tell me who your friends are and I tell you who you are”? Now that you’re attractive do not stop there and make friends ...

Rediscovering what sparks joy

Hi, if there's really anyone reading this blog. I kept this blog open more of a open diary and realized that writing is form of therapy for me. For all those bottled up feeling that I couldn't express. The last blog post I did was 2019 that I started a vlog in YouTube, sadly that vlog is no longer existing. I could make up excuses as to why but its really one complicated reason, which could be for another blog post. I was going to write that its been a year since I last posted but and then realized that its 2022 now, well it could be a year if we don't really count 2020.  Since moving to the States five years ago (2020 counted here), I was busy trying to make my family and I's life better, financially more or less, ok more so I was really busy with work and making more money. Unconsciously trying to fulfill the wants that I couldn't afford. In the process, I forgot what would make me happy. At the rise of tiktok I have discovered posts that intrigued my curiosity. I...
