Ciao

Our encounter was brief,noteworthy
your impeccable character astonished me
even after all these years..the thought of you never left me.

We try to communicate
Casually catch up once in a while
Miss each other in so many ways...

There are times I'd like to give you a shot as it crossed my mind.
Try to reconsider things despite our differences
But you won't even compromise let alone persevere!
Step out of your comfort zone!
I hope you put some more effort my dear.

You & I thought we're meant to be or was it just me?
The word itself is quite overrated
Some things ain't right
This might/might not be the best course.

One day we'll meet again
Not sure when my dear old friend
We'll drink,talk and laugh all about it
In a not so distant future past.

This one's hella cute and scary transformation!

I never thought of that haha I'd like to remake this lacey vibe one day.

simple and sexy! I love it!

They make it look so easy haha but whenever I try it it always seems like the reality vs. expectations posts from tumblr D: #epicfail 

Haha! I'll try and try and do my best in every attempt I'll be able to create some of my own techniques that's for sure! + experience points :)))

What about you? are you going to dress up this hallows eve? what/who would you be?Tell me in the comments below ^_~

Keeper

Knowing you is like spring time in the snow
Always merry and full of hope
You never fail to amuse me
Makes me laugh with your crazy antics

Whenever we get together
It's like we never actually parted,seems like yesterday
And it feels like we've known each other forever!

Time lapse smoothly
Everything moves effortlessly
Our worries slowly fades away
Just like any other day.

Jubilation

Starting all over again easier said than done
I'll take my chances better off than none.
A leap of faith
Rule out the improbable
Coz with you by my side everything's possible!

I hope & pray everyday
The turn out's gonna be just fine
Although I know you already took care of it
always ahead of time better than expected!
definitely worth the wait!

I can't thank you enough for what you just did.
You save(d) me multiple times
The Absolute most high!
I trust,believe and give you endless praise.
Your love for me can't compare and I love you to bits!

Unexpected

You made a mark inside my heart
I can't forget no matter how many times it tends to restart
Although there's no imminent danger yet but sooner or later I might lose it.

The moment I met you it hit home
One of the utmost vulnerable yet glorious time ever known
then the world seems to tremble
An impact so strong none could comprehend.

We're an unlikely pair that made the pact
Joined by fate
Off to an adventure of a lifetime
In order to help and kickstart.

We'll do our best to make it work
Let's see how it goes and what will take place thereafter.

First

Out of the blue we met
Your mere presence makes me smile
I don't want to forget

I'd like to get to know you
Even if that means going astray
As I'd like to give it a shot
So I won't regret it someday

Initially I really thought it was you
Even after all this time
I can't help but intermittently romanticize this strange case of us.Until...

A lot of things happened
Inevitable changes
A difference so evident
It's quite disappointing

Anyway, all for the best!
many thanks!
You'll always be an epic love
Keep that in mind

Now let's become the best version of ourselves as we get over such a phase and mayhaps one day our path will cross yet again.
All in good time til then keep safe!

Inevitable Hero's Journey

I met a couple of lovely people along the way...
A few note worthy while some are just completely despicable!
Devil in disguise!made quite a tempting offer
classic act of deception
I almost got consumed!
Good thing I said I'd pass and carry on with my mission.

Yes,I checked..my soul's still intact
As I move on,back on track,off the detour
I contemplated on weird turn of events
In which case I'm really glad & grateful that I met the likes of them..loads of lessons learned!No regrets!

When curiosity killed the cat
I thought of you my beloved
That always seems to work
It pulled me straight back.

Dodged death multiple times
I hope & pray I won't ran out of life lines (they sure are valuable!)
Anyway,I know I need to make up for lost time..
Wait for me.I'll be back soon..as promised.

All is well..fully awake and fortunately still alive!
In due course everything will unfold
And it will be one of those epic stories ever told!

One of those days

I left you a note

I'm not sure whether or not you've seen nor read it

but I'm hoping this one will reach you

just like many others.




I'd like to tell you that...

it could be quite scary sometimes

how much my love for you

consumes me

as it linger and never waver




You came back

and told all sorts of stories

uncertain which one to believe

is this your true form?

or an act of deceit?

It saddens me...




I looked at you

and somewhat saw

the person I once knew

the person who chose the most improbable route




in retrospect

I realized

how I barely know you

how many things I tend to hold back

due to instinct that never seem to fail me




You came for a reason

I thanked you for dropping by for the season

now we could all move on

as you once again

fade into oblivion.

Seasons

Goodbye my love
It's time to part
Cheer up!
Move on as we restart

You'll always have a room
Inside my heart
but it won't be the same ever again

Thanks for the memories
Promises kept
For all the times we spent

I wish you all the best
May our dreams come true
I'll try to be there for you
although I can't promise anything yet...

We lost track of time
As we had a lot of fun
Through ups and downs
Thanks for everything!
I owe you one.

Indefinite

There are times in your life
you simply need to walk away
chill & step out
breathe in some fresh air.

Get a Grip!
don't get too wrapped up
for you might choke & lose the essence.

You did your best
or so you hope
it takes time to cope
A slice of life.

Hiatus

One of many things I always thought about...but you know what? it comes and goes, bound to happen (eventually) I mean life is full of uncertainties that's so interesting in so many ways.I salute and praise definitely handsdown to all the folks who could make it seem so easy,with great time management,execute task efficiently with so much precision,flawlessly update and can do almost everything just w:Ow!all I can say is that I'll do my best!haha!

Stay tuned for more! ^_~

My Review: 5 out of 5 stars
I like Jonathan's voice his pronunciation definitely brought the characters to life!

:OMG THIS BOOK! so many unexpected twists and turns! I got quite confused at first because I never thought there would be so many characters and chain of events/involvements put together that even happened way back in the day of the story we're all witnessing it's so good! W:OW! I'm amazed how well put together this novel was and the characters wh:oa! some of them they got me going there they made me think maybe this guy is the culprit or maybe that guy over there but it's all under my nose this entire time and Oh dear Fermin you funny guy!(especially at Chapter 16)I like how he compare guys as light bulbs and girls as iron when they heat up. I somewhat like the ending such a rush it all went by so fast! to think how much time lapse.

here's some of my favorite quotes:

"There's no such thing as dead languages only dormant minds"

"To truly hate is an art one learned with time"-Daniel

"We exist as long as somebody remembers us"~Jullian Carax

"only 3 or 4 things are worth living for the rest is manure!"-Fermin

"saint holy shit and holy cow"-Fermin(chap25)

My Review: 3 out of 5 stars

"You can't give up on your famiy no matter how tempting they make it" -Hermes


The story got a very interesting take though there are lots of things that still doesn't make sense like the prophecy and about the camp. It's so weird that that place is dying and yet why won't they do something about it til the sudden hero journey quest request.(hero conquest)

Ugh Clarisse is so annoying! Luke's quite easily manipulated (sort of I think) like a lap dog.

Oh Percy you are indeed a quite a lucky fellow!

and that ending what the?! :O

About the book:(from Goodreads)
It seems too good to be true. After centuries of bitter strife and fatal treachery, the seven powers dividing the land have decimated one another into an uneasy truce. Or so it appears. . . . With the death of the monstrous King Joffrey, Cersei is ruling as regent in King’s Landing. Robb Stark’s demise has broken the back of the Northern rebels, and his siblings are scattered throughout the kingdom like seeds on barren soil. Few legitimate claims to the once desperately sought Iron Throne still exist—or they are held in hands too weak or too distant to wield them effectively. The war, which raged out of control for so long, has burned itself out.(more)


My Review: 4 out of 5 stars

"He's so Tyrell he pisses rose water" ~Cersei

I love John Lee's voice! so nice & beautiful such great variety!BRILLIANT!

Wh:oa the changed of POVs is a total game changer! and more new characters.Some back stories and flash backs also love stories.Some parts that's quite boring but everything's pretty much interesting!

Podrick's so funny & very much confused whether to call Brienne My Lady or Sir.Oh boy! :))))

Still lots of deaths and unexpected scenes.Revenge better served cold pwahaha!

I wished there's more arya scenes >.< I'm always looking forward to that :Oh my!.And Sansa I hope she could count herself lucky she's somewhat way better off.

Cersei definitely thinks she's like her father perhaps even better without a cock haha!

When Sir Jamie & Cersei's scenes clash it's so funny going through Jamie as Tyrions words seems to echo inside his head for screwing. Although he still thinks of such unlikelyhood.

OMG! I'm so freakin excited for book 5 what's happening on the otherside?! XD

Videos

Hey hey hey!

I think I still got a lot of travel vlogs and all sorts of things in my memory card stashed somewhere that I haven't compiled yet like my trip to San Francisco zoo aww..well I'll try to get into it during my freetime as I'm almost done clearing unwanted/unnecessary clips that I got into my phone and camera's life/POV oh dear so that's what its like being an inanimate object haha! Anyway,I just thought I'd post an update.How you doin? :D

About the book:(from Goodreads)Of the five contenders for power, one is dead, another in disfavor, and still the wars rage as alliances are made and broken. Joffrey sits on the Iron Throne, the uneasy ruler of of the Seven Kingdoms. His most bitter rival, Lord Stannis, stands defeated and disgraced, victim of the sorceress who holds him in her thrall. Young Robb still rules the North from the fortress of Riverrun. Meanwhile, making her way across a blood-drenched continent is the exiled queen, Daenerys, mistress of the only three dragons still left in the world. And as opposing forces maneuver for the final showdown, an army of barbaric wildlings arrives from the outermost limits of civilization, accompanied by a horde of mythical Others—a supernatural army of the living dead whose animated corpses are unstoppable. As the future of the land hangs in the balance, no one will rest until the Seven Kingdoms have exploded in a veritable storm of swords...(more)


My Review: 4 out of 5 stars

I really like roy avers voice also the shift of characters POVs I'm really surprised :0

In half a heart beat a lot of people died.SEVEN BLOODY HELLS!

Valar morghulis!

That moment when I realized Daenerys is one of the most kickass female fictional character. I wanna learn & speak valyrian! Dracarys!

Everything sounds so convincing I don't know which one/who to believe anymore.There's no safe place or when you think you are..it ends there.

Well at least Sansa got a bit of character development and Arya seems to be everywhere.Jon Snow don't know anything you bastard! Yngritte gets on my nerves saying the same old lines over and over why can't she just say it instead of saying "you don't know anything Jon Snow" ugh
Jaimie looks like a changed man I mean like holy sheeeet I can't believe they actually did that to him.I'd like to ship Brienne of Tarth & him (Jaimie) so weird I know but it might actually work. XD

Sam the slayer Gods be good!

There are a lot of things going on and moving about in this book it's absolutely wonderful! George RR Martin made killing off characters looked flawless!

Book 1's in 12 series

A pile of books I never thought I could have but did accumulate over time so crazy I know!

The Maze Runner by James Dashner

The Hundred thousand kingdoms by N.K Jemisin

this looks quite magical & action pack!

Evermore by Alyson Noel

oh this looks really good or so at least that's what I got from the synopsis (I got a box set for a bargain!) can't pass that XD

                                           Here, There Be Dragons by James A. Owen

there's this time I got so obsess into dragons that I just bought them haha! I'm missing book 2 & the last from this series.The cover of each book looks divine!

Eragon by Christopher Paolini

I saw the movie it was ok though some say it's inaccurate so I'm definitely checking the book out I'm not sure if they're making any  movie part 2

Foundling by D.M Cornish

this looks somewhat prodigy-ish & quite academic sort of feel good times haha!

Luxe by Anna Godbersen

The Mysterious Benedict Society by Trenton Lee Stewart

I started this book way back and I'm liking it so far book 1's really good full of mystery I like that! although I don't know why I got book 3 along with it instead of 2 I'm completely unaware of such sequence ugh!

I need to make some time for them lot..have you read any of them?

Series of Questions

Here are some of the things I often asked myself Why am I here?What am I doing here?What’s this I’m in to?Should I really go for it? Yes that’s some of it and the answers to all that are really simple which is family,fate,destiny,friends,something new,a taste of adventure because of all that I’ve met people that became part of me intentionally or not I believed a part them exists within me and I in them things and experiences in life that can’t be bought  yes they’re all PRICELESS.I posted this because I know I’m not the only one feeling the same way as I always thought I did..We’re not alone,speak now!stand up! Write or type anything,jot down those flights of ideas,nonchalant gibberish thoughts, I would like to always remember this part of my life wherein I would just indulge and see where I go as I wake up to nightmares,daydreams,reality, what I’ve been through, done that, a box full of sunshine,darkness and inspiration  I could open up and recall Oh so that’s what it’s like way back hmm..I never thought of it that way especially some crisis that existed to other s that are non-existent to some part of my life hmmm those type of things. As I journeyed and come forth along the way there’s lots more battle waiting to be fought and won ,vast wilderness to be explore up ahead I dunno how long my life adventures would last but I’ll make it to a point I would cherish every moment,have fun and hopefully won’t forget as much about it hahaha!

About the book:(from Goodreads)
Time is out of joint. The summer of peace and plenty, ten years long, is drawing to a close, and the harsh, chill winter approaches like an angry beast. Two great leaders—Lord Eddard Stark and Robert Baratheon—who held sway over and age of enforced peace are dead...victims of royal treachery. Now, from the ancient citadel of Dragonstone to the forbidding shores of Winterfell, chaos reigns, as pretenders to the Iron Throne of the Seven Kingdoms prepare to stake their claims through tempest, turmoil, and war.(more)

My Review: 3 out of 5 stars

I tuned in all the way to the audiobook read by Roy Dotrice it was a bit weird & I still got confused with his voice the way he delivered his lines since I got used to GOT read by Roy Avers but it was ok and tolerable.

There's lots of planning,death,backstabbing,blackmagic,tricks,bits of action here & there.Darkness & well I didn't expect Freedom but it was really nice also the great escape was a great treat.

I'm so proud of myself *pats back* I never thought I could get into this book/series and a lot characters POVs. I'm completely at awe due to a lot of additional and awesome appearances of other characters in the story they definitely add a lot of flavor,characteristic,resistance and more epic details. Some of my favorite new characters in this book The Reed siblings they're so nice & embraced their God given gift & talent WOW!

and oh Renly I knew it! Rainbow knights eh? ;) I just hope he stick to the rule in ascension.

The Hound surprised me :O

So proud of the Stark house.STAY STRONG!

New Characters I love to hate Melisandre I don't know whether she's up to good or bad or completely manipulative.I just hope Stanis stands up for himself.

About the HBO TV SERIES, well there's quite a lot of variation in season 2 & 3 mix in this but it's all good although I thought that season 3 will be about book 5 but it's still early for that.I'm looking forward to all of these things.

About the book:(from Goodreads)

Summers span decades. Winter can last a lifetime. And the struggle for the Iron Throne has begun.As Warden of the north, Lord Eddard Stark counts it a curse when King Robert bestows on him the office of the Hand. His honour weighs him down at court where a true man does what he will, not what he must … and a dead enemy is a thing of beauty.The old gods have no power in the south, Stark’s family is split and there is treachery at court.(more)

My Review: 4.5 out of 5 stars

It took me awhile to finish this..I dropped and picked it up multiple times for there are some things that just bore me and can't visualize at times.I watched the HBO tv series that's now been going for their 3rd season which is fantastic!hooray! this truly helped me a lot they're quite faithful to the book. That's why I decided to listen to this again to clear my confusion.At first like I said I found it boring but then as I tune in for more ,listened to it patiently whenever I got freetime or if I'd like to go handsfree from reading (multi tasking) I appreciated the very essence of audiobook read by Roy Avers it was really nice...I like his voice.

I found myself rooting for some characters like Arya,Jon,Daenerys & Tyrion.This is also the first time the word Bastard enlightened me in a whole new different level (well I never thought of it that way but when I thought about it some more I guess Mr. Martin was right afterall haha I'll never think of that word the same way ever again!)

My favorite character by far is Arya I like her a lot I definitely saw some of myself in her growing up.The gender bender aspect caught me by surprise..sad & nice at the same time.My least favorite is Sansa typical princess and love blind to Joffrey I don't think it's even love in the first place since they're so young perhaps a puppy love ( or like a wolf to a lion love haha)she's nice & courteous though I sense there's something brewing inside of her like the Lannisters.I despise Joffrey the first time I encountered his character he's such a spoiled brat rotten to the core!.Cersei,is also one of the characters I love to hate with a passion and don't let me start about little finger ugh such guy.

The dire wolves OMG! I love them so so much.Very Adorable & fearsome!

The house banners & sayings/quote/oath some are creatively made that sometimes completely sum up or at least you'll get the idea how the rest of the houses are.

I never thought and I feared for Eddard's life also for his beloved family they're so nice.I understand why he has done it although I prefer otherwise & as the story progress it shocked me for such revelations,lies & deceit.OMG! The Game of thrones is definitely the perfect title for this book.

Connection

We haven't talked for ages
although we're both a phone call or message away
one day for sure we'll manage to catch up

Let's try to sync our schedule perhaps?
have coffee,eat out,laugh,chat til dawn
like the good old days

Reminiscing,
playing video games,
and music is what we do best.
just to name a few loads of things we both like and love.

It's always a pleasure to see you
Whenever chance we got
At least we're not at all completely blank
not an inch bit  of awkward but more of childish and foolish mayhaps

Tea

(Original draft date: 05.28.12 3:15 PM)

In which I'll tell you about that time I got so obsess with tea. As I was roaming around I dunno which one to buy and what I also didn't know is that there would be so many different kinds available so I bought them all to try after reading all these wonderful labels and I've always wanted to drink earl grey or green tea but I prefer the Jasmine or any type berry tea turned out I love everything about it! 

Yes! TJMAXX I can't believe it myself :O
these teas got amazing benefits and it's so good!

I knew there would come a time I'd appreciate tea just like strawberry dunno why for some reason I didn't like them before haha perhaps I'm getting old as it's often associated with that haha but I like such change as it's geared towards the healthy side.What about you? are there certain things you didn't like before that you like/love now? tell me in the comments below ^_^

My Review and Rating:

OMG! I love this movie so much and I'm so glad I watched it after I finished the book.So many wonderful moments that made me laugh,cry,tears of joy T_T I appreciated it more because I've read the book mayhaps.

One of my favorite characters in this film is Captain Shakespeare,Robert De Niro did a phenomenal job he made me laugh so hard!

and  he's so nice,very nurturing in a fatherly way.

I also love Ian McKellen's voice over as the narrator.The Guard at the wall was so kick ass even though he's  old I thought he would be out smarted the second time around  he did such a great job that scene was so cool! The wicked witches sisters they're quite scary but they definitely got me going with the story as well as the stormborn brothers their legacy and quest they're brilliant!Yvaine and Tristan they're so perfect actually their character grew in to me over time along with the story.Although there's quite a bit of variations from the book I think it's still so awesome! especially about the babylon candle wh:OA! and the ending :D

Overall I gave it all the stars in the world! heck the entire universe! XD

(Tristran & Little Hairy Man talking about Victoria and his quest to find the falling star so this would the little man would do)"I'd tell her to go shove her face in the pig pen and go out and find another one or kiss you without asking for the earth" ~Little Hairy Man

"Love I hope you choke on it!" -Star

I love it when Neil Gaiman read his own work!with a bonus interview content wow!

Tristran's so nice and lucky!the story's quite confusing at first for there's a lot of characters and different storylines anyway,it all merged perfectly well I like the concept,lots of funny,unexpected and magical moments plus such a fine ending.

Sidenote: it's quite funny how I rated it as 4 out of 5 considering a star had fallen (no pun intended) but such rating was because I really liked it.And I'll try to check out the movie asap once I found a copy.^^,

My Review: 3 out of 5 stars

I received an ARC from Penguin Group (7/22/2013) even though it was published June 2013 I like it (less pressure I guess haha!)

I haven't read black city and yet I read this book on a whim it was alright. The flashbacks on this one was pretty good I don't feel left out although I must admit I think I'm missing some happenings on the first one I must get on with it one of these days along with the last one..soon mayhaps...

I love the burning feather cover of this sequel. The character names and places are mediocre it feels like a rip off from other novels,quite ironic and funny as I try to compare them.It has that holocaust element into it as well.The map is like the U.S with variations. I saw a few typos I hope they're able to spot and correct it before publishing.

and WHAT THE FRAGG?!everything happened so fast!a bit predictable..still pretty much interesting the guessing game kept me going and I managed to guess right who will rat who (sometimes) and yet I'm greatly amused more of surprised really in the end.

Love,Mystery,Rebellion,Chaos,Death,More Questions,answers, stories/confessions told and began unfold! I saw the pattern. (it still makes me think is this really truly young adult?)

About the book: (from Goodreads)

On the night Malcolm and Maud Angel are murdered, Tandy Angel knows just three things: 1) She was the last person to see herparents alive. 2) The police have no suspects besides Tandy and her three siblings. 3) She can't trust anyone-maybe not even herself.(more)

My Review: 4 out of 5 stars

"How true Daddy's words were when he said: all children must look after their own upbringing. Parents can only give good advice or put them on the right paths, but the final forming of a person's character lies in their own hands. "~Anne Frank

Emma Galvin's voice perfect for this book! calm and suiting.This is my first exposure to James Patterson & Maxine Paetro's work(s).

I liked how the story draws you in and will make you think that the entire thing is so complicated but truth to be told plain simple in the end.It has that Romeo and Juliet vibe into it yet full of mysteries to be unfold/discovered.Being inside Tandy's head and confided by her confessions,stories,emotions and truths/lies (even she's not sure about),the unknowns I truly felt that I'm there with her,I made a new dear friend.Although the police are portrayed mediocre I was hoping there would be more action to think the Angel Family is like one of the top out there.I'm quite proud to the Angel's family progress as to being humans I sympathize to what happened to them,empathize and try to seek some justice or even a sense of redemption to all of them.To wake up in a drone life,being conscious and free..I wish them all the best and would like to offer them my prayers and sincere condolence.

I'm looking forward to the sequel so many things yet to be told!so many holes to patch,people to search and talk to.

Nameday

My gap year is almost over NOOOoooooo YEessss ugh D:

To be honest I really don't know what to do during my nameday haha!

Plan A: was the mix...
Plan B: Since I used my cupcake mix for my dad's nameday for thy marvelous marble cake and cool whip plus that red frosting that just didn't hold much due to the cool whip mania.Still on the go for my mom's hot & spicy (she went for regular) spaghetti and pic. with her.She made some local filipino delicacies such as egg pie,pichi-pichi,kutchinta.My dad grilled ribs and I bought snickers ice cream cake which is just like a massive snicker ice cream bar!the played an old chinese game with a beloved guest that ate most of our time besides eating in between breaks haha! all went well.It was fun!

 anyway,here's a video from Emilie of New Gloom I like her concept which made me think of some of my accomplishments in life if there's any haha!.Early 20's is awesome! I'll always looking forward every single day enjoying each moment...make it count!

Thanks Google!

Enough said! haha! XD

I still love Taylor Swift no matter what other people say although her defense mechanism song writing skills seems on repeat it works haha! Yey for creativity!

I love love love her fearless and Speak now album and bits of her new Red album.

She's nice,such a sweet heart,lovely lady,no reports of mischiefs,I think she's a great role model unlike other female child actors/singers whose career downfall consumed them anyway Change for the better I always say :D
