Recession hit us in one way or another. For me I have to give up some of the things I used to always do One, is the Starbucks coffee, we all can agree that their coffee are warm and the aroma is inviting but they are so expensive too. So I have to look for alternative to suffice my morning energy boost, enter 7-11 coffee. Two, my daily solo cab going to work, well thanks to a neighbor which I just need to ask for a change shift so we can share the fare. And three, My monthly splurge on books. It has been years since I bought a book and I miss the smell of paper, the physical feeling of turning a page but I can not just give up on my love for fiction and love stories and the rill of mysteries, so I decided to surrender to e-books which I have vowed that I am not going to use, in support of my favorite authors.  There are several books I have read using Bluefire Apps. This is the first application I learned to use. I found a seller of e-books for 5php (ebookstories in instagram) s...

I checked on my blog today and can't believe that it has been nine months long since my last blog entry.  I don't know what happened but it seems that I might have been busy for the past few months.  I'm glad  I found time today to write on this entry (Thank you US Labor Day) I will have to draft my first official entry after nine months its about my recent discovery ebooks.. Until Then

New Year, new hope. I know a lot of you will agree. There will be resolutions waiting to be fulfilled and hopes that are being prayed upon. This entry is not going to be related with any book at all, I just want to blurt out what I'm feeling and I feel that this is the safest place I can write.  Surely there are people who would think I am lucky, don't get me wrong I know I am but that doesn't mean I am happy. I am not happy not because I am not contented but because I feel empty. Everyday I go to work, worked on the loads of task on my desk, mingle with my colleagues, tidy my desk and go home. Check my FB, play a little with my game console, surf the net, read a little (sometimes a lot) then sleep and tomorrow will be another day.  I do this to be numb and just go on with my life and let the waves take me wherever with no goals or destination. Whatever happened to me, I don't know. I envy people who have set goals or who had planned a year or a day, because I can...

I'm starting this blog entry with this letter. "Dear Stephanie Perkins,           I became your fan when Anna met St. Clair (view Anna and the French Kiss here ). And will be reading your next books and looking forward of another intersting characters you are creating.                                                                                                                                                                                                       ...

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...

My friends and I have been waiting for this book to come out. It's funny because you wait for a year and finish the book in a day. What can I say, it was indeed The Rise of Nine (spoiler) he was really bad ass with a big head. I think he and John could really be good friends plus a maybe a love story with Six. But of course just like other fanatics we want John to end up with Six and ditch Sarah, right?  Just like the other books this is action-packed and more gadgets discovered. Plus of course the little reunion in the end is wanting you more for the next book. Which brings me to my next question. Mr. Pittacus Lore, how many books are you trying to publish for this series? Since almost everyone is in the book now, I like how they were described and have that individualism but compensates for each other. I wish Five is male just to have a little balance.  The ending of the book does not leave you hanging but will crave for more although the waiting will be bearable this t...

No, I'm not talking about X-files people, if kids today even know about it. I have been hooked with "I am Number Four" ever since I watched  Alex Pettyfer  the movie. So far the series brings me at the edge of my seat, anticipating what would be the next move. Knowing there will be more action pack scene/sequence. I like it that this series is written by males a breather from the contemporary romance I read and gives me new look inside my paperback novels.   The Lost Files gives you idea about in between action, more glimpse to Six and Nine lives as well as (spoiler alert) a friendly young Mogs who may be or may not be an Ally. This new character will be a colorful addition to our heroes lives.  On August 21 the 3rd book will be out and I just can't wait to purchase it and devour it. I'm just wondering how many books will it be, hopefully not as many as Harry Potter, really, that's expensive.
