I'll pick adventure over love anyday.

Well, lately I've been reading a lot of children fantasy books. Yeah I know right? Ain't that just dandy? It is! It all started with my fascination with Harry Pot-er and Hogwarts (da best school yo). And I rarely even read chic-lit, I don't even know why. Probably because, in my opinion, they're all the same. There's a confused chick, guys and love. So that's why I read very little chic-lit, heck I've only read two or three. And I must confess A Walk to Remember is <3>


(Wooh I have this cover which is the First US Edition D: )

Ok back to the main topic, Children Fantasy Books :B They're awesome. I've read this Trilogy called Dark Reflection (The Water Mirror, The Stone Light, The Glass Word). The ending was extremely sad, I wished the author re-write the ending but like the book said, this is not a fairytale and even in fairytales it isn't real. Yeah sighh... but it's really unique, original and one of the most imaginative book I've read. And the best part it is set in Venice, and all over the world, but it started in Venice! I really want to go there.


Then there's Darren Shan the half-vampire. He was a normal boy, but one grave mistake made him a half-vamp. And so he goes through many adventures being all vampire, and kind of animal-like. You can finish a book in a day. It's a nice light reading material and very addictive. Well I'm addicted. I just love the first book! A very nice way to start a story, very unexpected and the plotline was great! Gosh I'm sounding geek-ish but I don't give a hoo-haa.


Adding to the list is, Percy Jackson! Thanks to my friend she bought the second and third book (first book, sold out) and instantly I got hook! Percy and Tyson is really funny. And I love Nico di Angelo heehheeee. I don't know why, he is an interesting character and he changes throughout the series. And thanks to the series, I'm googling ancient monsters, greek mythology and the olympians. I have literally become a Percy Jackson fan. Even when I have midterms, I kept reading The Last Olympian and I bet my marks would suffer. But the book was just calling me and saying "Read me, read me!!" How can I resist? I'm not that strong!

I hate it when series end. I cried when Pot-er ended. I know LAME but how would you feel when the book you grew up with finished and every year you patiently wait for the next book to come out and now you have nothing to wait for :( I wish they could magically just continue but I know that would just make it a disaster.

100th Post wohoo!

wow it's been how long since I've started blogging? Ok not that long. But wow 100. 100 useless stuff posted.

And I love muse. I've just listened to the new track United States of Eurasia, ok so here's my opinion. I like the instrumental part very morrocon-ish and after the Queen-esque part. I'm getting use to it. It gives a slight taste to the new album and I just can't wait for it! September 14th, care to buy as a birthday gift for moi?

I just found out the I share the same birthdate as Josh Farro of Paramore, Adriy Shevchenko of Chelsea FC, and Pompey the Great. It's cool to know who you share birthdate with, just for laugh. There are more of course, one was even a British serial killer. And you know what, I actually like my birthdate and I don't know why. Speaking of Pompey reminded me I have to do History notes. Sigh.

Oh I love the six installment of Harry Potter. The graphics were amazing and it was just awesome! I love it. I love it. If you're potter fan then should definitely go!! It is soooo depressing that Harry Potter is going to end :( And it's my first "real" book that I've finished. And I re-read philasopher stone and I think it's so good. My favourite books in the series are hmm Chamber of Secrets (It really gave a glimpse on how evil is Lord Mouldy wart) , Goblet of Fire ( because of the triwizard cup) and Half Blood Prince ( because its TDF)

People say HP is for nerds and it's starting to get lame. Well, I don't freaking care because HP is special to me. I've been following it since I was 9. Because of HP I love to read. And it definitely gave me some warm up for thick books. And people around me always diss on HP but is it so wrong to like HP? And many said the 5th (movie) was a bore. Yes I do admitt it wasn't as good as other but I still watch it again if I was invited too. You know why? Because Harry Potter is just too dear to hate. And it will always be some kind of reminder of why I have a passion of reading books.

And I'm pissed at VMA saying "twilight fans rejoice, stephenie meyer's favourite band is performing". I mean ughh. For those who like MUSE just because of Twilight is seriously just frustrating. And why did Muse said yes? They always say that they don't want to be a supporting act to break in the US but now they are Stephenie Meyer's favourite band. Agh. But I am gonna watch New Moon and VMA. New Moon looks better that Twilight and VMA is their first major US performance. SO DUH.

I love Hey Jude :) my cat and the song
