Serial (Book) Killers.

If they give me a test about the Game Of Thrones series, I would have aced it. I love the series, it consumes my mind, body and soul. I have long suffered for a series that offers quality as great as LOTR, HP, CoN that finally getting my hands on these eBooks became the core of my entire being. It's not easy to find quality books nowadays. Trust me, I've been through a lot of crap. The only good thing that came out of reading those crap books was that it sharpened my bibliophile crap-detection skills. I hate/despise/loathe/abhor shallow novels. Before, i was just a listless book addict reading everything that came my way without thought for what it was about. All i could do was read, read and read like a man lost in a desert for centuries finally quenching his thirst. Now, I look to quality assurance regarding books. Of course I still read anything i can get my hands on, but I now look to quality more than quantity. if I could make a list of all the books ive read, there would be thousand of them but only a few i could remember for quality. Those books that really touched me and made me think are few and far between. It's a shame because I live in a province where books are scarce. But now with the power of the internet in my hands, I can quench this thirst of mine with something more "edible" for bookworming. Right now, I'm taking my time with Game Of Thrones series. This book needs not fast reading (as I'm usually wont to do since I am a fast reader) but rather take things slow since this book is also a precarious read. My favorite characters could die in just an instant so I have to savor their parts in the series.
I love books.

A Life Without Passion Is No Life at All

I woke up to a cold draft from my open window. It was raining, not as hard as i wished it would be but drizzling. The moment my brain cleared from all the cobwebs of sleep, I had one conviction: I will not go to the simulation tests today. And my mind was made up and nothing can change it.
A friend once told me she has a technique every morning when she feels too lazy to get up, she stops thinking about it. Instead, she'll get up and do her early morning routine instinctively. It was a pretty good advice. It worked.
But I can't keep on doing this. I can't keep on having to push myself out of bed just to get myself to go and answer 500 test questions when I would rather be reading books or doing football stuff.
These are the moments when I feel like I'm walking endlessly into a tunnel and in the end there's a wall of loose plastic blocking my way, I keep pushing towards exit but I get suffocated with the plastic instead. It clings to my body and I couldn't get a breathe out.

Remember when you fell in love with football
