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.

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...

The Year that was

By Now I think everyone had enough of the New Year, New Me post don't worry I will try my hardest not to do that here. Instead I would like to recap a little on the year that was.  2016, whew, insert hand swiping my forehead here. Let's see, how many time did you sing Closer by Chainsmokers? What was your favorite movie? I like Civil War but Suicide Squad gave me a fun memory. What was your biggest project completed? First and foremost my theme song for 2016 is "Thank you for the broken heart" by J. Rice. If you're reading my previous posts, well, thank you, but it doesn't take a genius to know that I had a heartbreak but I have to thank it because it opened a lot of doors for me. It wasn't a bitter break-up but just as others, it was sad. It happened at the start of the year which I think was good because it gave me a chance to revisit my goal for the year and what I really wanted.  So drum roll please... On door no. 1, I had a chance to reconnect...

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.

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...
