The aftermath...

Rain. Rain. And still rain.

Four days, three nights.



Its been known that our country was ravaged by a semi-storm, a low pressure area of cold and warm air. Great floods submerged residences as deep as 8 feet, maybe more. Many died in them, many were lost from their loved ones, alone in the chilling cold of the murky, dirty water. Cries of despair stained the air, for finding the bodies lifeless and cold destroyed what little hope they have left. But not all despaired for some were found, alive and yet not well, but alive nonetheless.

I write these words in the aftermath of "Habagat" as we like to call the horrible storm that put most of our major cities in a state of calamity.

My prayers go to those who are really affected by this disaster. To those families evacuated or forced to leave their homes. They had no food or water, actually there's a scarce supply of them, so I'm really thankful for the celebrities, volunteers and others who had the heart and resources to go there, be with them and give them what they desperately needed in the past few days. And for those who prayed and prayed and prayed... many thanks.

The first ray of the sun gives on new hope for new beginnings. With each day, each everyone would rise and start anew again.

From the ashes, a new beginning arises. Well, in this case from the mud.

Never say Filipinos don't know how to get up when things are down. :P

new cover, new cover, NEW COVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AAAiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

OMG!!!!.. THE COVER'S HERE!!!! is that Jason & Percy FIGHTING?!?!?!?!? that sure as hell look a wicked looking owl right there. Hey!!! That's Jack and...who's was that horse again?? And I have to wait for  3 MONTHS for this?!?!?! The waiting sure does kill me as well as royally pissing me off!!! And since its a long wait, here are come things I highly expect(which may or may not come true, but sure as hell going to keep expecting):

1. PercyxAnnabeth reunion. I'm gonna smack Percy right upside the head if I can if he screws his first time with her after so many months of her worrying and doubting about him. So you better make this work.

2. JasonxPiperxReyna(possible) triangle. I honestly think that Reyna and Jason got something going on before he disappeared from Camp Jupiter. I mean in the previous book it doesn't seem that way but I think Reyna's feelings are one-sided otherwise Jason wouldn't hook-up with Piper if he was taken. To me, he's just not that type of guy and he's too nice.

3. TysonxElla. I know it's kinda gross to some of you but...the big guy kinda grew on me and Ella's sweet in a...crazy, Harpy kind of way.

4. Leox...? It would be nice if Leo, Camp Half-Blood's Romeo could get a decent girlfriend or girl who would like him. Its kind of sad for his friends to have someone and he doesn't. :(

5. FrankxHazel. Glad their together, although from what I've read in the previous book, Leo's probably going to be involved in a triangle whether he wants to or not. Gotta blame the genes. *Sigh*

6. OCTAVIAN  MUST DIE!!!!!!! That little piece of schist should just shut up when he's not needed. He's nothing without his precious Sybelline scrolls anyway. If you ask me, Rachel's more reliable with the Oracle itself hijacking her than some kid ripping innocent stuffed animals and reading their fluffy entrails.  *hmph*

Hmm.. Well that's all I can think of now. Can't wait for Mark of Athena. 3 months sucks. :(

OMG!!!! i love it!!

OMG!!! this new book of Julie Kagawa is sure to be a masterpiece just like the rest of her previous works. I just finished reading the excerpt of this from The Immortal Rules and it got me crazy just waiting for October.

And the COVER.. oh my man.. its so drool-swoon-and-faint worthy!!!..I mean, I wonder how many years had passed and what had happened to Meghan and Ash during this time. There's so many things to think about the next upcoming books from the Iron Fey: Call of the Forgotten trilogy.. Wonder if Meghan and his royal iciness has a cute heir by then.. hmm ^o^

And in the excerpt that Ethan has a new leading lady but forget about her(I didn't mean that XD). The cover..man oh man..Ethan just grew up...never even expected he'd grow into a yummy hunk. But if placed side by side, Ash wins hands done for me--i think he's hotter than Ethan(Oh I don't know, I think they're both hot!!!) So hoping that his sister and princy has a cute baby, because I think their story, happy though as it ended, is just not complete with a result of their undying and unbreakable love for each other. :)

To all those who have read the Iron Fey series by Julie Kagawa, and to those who haven't, her works are memorable. All her books should be made into movie.. Oh and this next story's  going to be so friggin' awesome!!!! October should come sooner!!! :P

Its Summer!!!

The beach. The sun. And entire days of fun.

After months of being trapped in school and buried in homework and pop quizzes, finally the time has come to let loose and relax. With nothing to do for a few weeks, we make every minute count and spend it by having tons of fun.

But for some of us, who're currently in college and on tri-sem schedule, it'll be only a few days to spend summer. And with the last few days of school work, your professors would cram the last activities on the remaining days before summer break. Damn those moments when you got your presentation ready and all organized when the stupid ancient and effin computer would ruin all your hard work and carefully laid plans.

That would make what started to be a great day into a somewhat sucky one. The weather today matched my mood; gloomy, rainy and freaking miserable. Rage and having the feeling of the unfairness of the situation bubble up inside me. I would've usually spent it eating my rage and resentment away, but the day turned out for the better.

And for that, I thank you, my friends(you know who you are :P ) with my deepest gratitude. Without your guys' presence and good humor, I would've been still stewing in my emotions. I hate you guys for having an early summer than I am and had rubbed it in my face. You guys are forgiven. To an extent.

To sum up my day, like I said before, it started okay, proceeded with increasingly depressing moments and then there was the climax(which was the ultimate dismal instant) and concluding with smiles, laughs and the fading memory of the previous bitterness.

Some guys have the luck..

When faced with women's needs and necessary habits, some guys go green. I don't know if they're uncomfortable with the subject or just disgusted. Anyway, when I say that some guys have all the luck, I meant in a general way.

Guys who're comfortable with themselves, confident and sure of himself, nothing fazes them. Nothing gets in the way of what they want when they have their target in their sights. And there are guys who think of sex, sex and nothing BUT sex. Like this guy I know. His mind is so DURTY:), I bet he surfs the porn sites every day and all night. Some women are that way too, don't get me wrong but its not bad for a woman to be that way. Maybe their sex drives are rusty or they haven't been getting any or some action in a while.

Hey its your own sexuality. Anyway, guys are lucky coz in terms of birth control, they just use condoms while women use a bucket full of contraceptives like pills, diaphragm, and injections. And when the woman gets pregnant, who gets the fallout?

I just think its unfair, that's all.

Hard times in life

Its kind of hard to say things that you know you shouldn't say. If its for the sake of others, you'd try to keep your shut. That deep, nasty secret your keeping, it will eat you up inside, nag at you and be always there to remind you at the most unexpected times.

But then, that's what friend's are for, right?

Take for example of a situation where your bestfriend was cheating on your other bf's boyfriend and you found out, would you keep it from the other bf and act like you never saw or know anything about it? Or would you confront that bestfriend, risk your friendship, because you know its wrong and you know your bestfriend better than that. But what if you never really knew her? What if after a small period of separation between the two of you would suddenly make you realize that she isn't the same person you knew before?

I know that some people are braver, more outspoken and have more guts to do the right thing and confront that friend. Lucky are those who are and have already done those deeds. But what about the weak? Those people who don't have it in the, and naive and selfless that they would turn the other way to keep things between them the same as always.

Life sucks sometimes. There are the easy parts where it makes life a paradise; and there are the hard parts that make it bearable but sometimes hard to take in. Should you be given a choice, would you choose an easy life, where everything is predictable, safe and black & white or would you rather choose life with easy and hard parts that sometimes makes it unbearable but also worth living in? You choose, becasue I'm having a hrad time making up my mind. :)

Hunger games rock!!!

Today was the grand premiere of the "Hunger Games" movie here. So excited I was. My friends and I went to MOA to watch it. One of my friends were so excited, she said her mind wasn't on the quiz that morning because she so really wanted to watch the movie and anticipated badly for days.

Before watching the movie, I never had the chance to read the book. Now that I did, I suddenly became eager to read the whole series. Katniss was an awesome character. She's got a facet of personalities. One moment, you see she's tough, arrogant and the next she's compassionate and innocent. She has honor and really deserved to win.

The only downside to the movie was the guy she ended up with. Peter doesn't look half much as hot as Gale. Gale is so much deserving of Katniss since they'd been both long time friends and they suit each other really well. And Gale is ten, no a hundred, no a million times hotter than Peter who by the way was the guy from the movie Zathura.

My friends said that Katniss and Gale eventually end up together at the final book. Can't wait to start on the series. :)


By the way, the way people dress in the Capitol is way weird. Especially this woman. :P
