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.

How Shopping helped me...
Well it started with an impulse to buy clothes. I've been wanting to do this since i got the "moolah" from my wonderful aunts but it took a back seat due to PRC stuff. And now I finally did it! I missed spending money! i missed trying out clothes! I missed the mall! I feel like a recharged battery! --the comparison sucks but wth, feel really good. xoxx

The last days of Disco
I think I might have graduated. I do have photos as proof. But that feeling of having triumphantly finished 4 of grueling college years seems like a lost memory now.
-end-
Just recently I watched a CNN interview that talked about coin flipping phenomenon. You flip a coin when in doubt over two decisions, but it matters not what the result ends up with because when the coin is up in mid-air, you get to know how you really feel because at that moment, you wish for what you really feel to happen.

I don't give a fuck about British Royalty and their Royal Wedding but the way the Philippine media has been slobbering all over it sickens me. Media needs to take a step back and look at the way they are now. Celebrities lives do not make substantial news stories. You have so much influence over the public that you might want to use that to smarten us up, not further dumb us down.
-end-
I have no idea what the hell i'm going to do with my life.
-end-
if i could just spend the rest of my days reading, watching football and tv series and movies, and eating and basically just doing nothing...

If the world were really to end, then why are wasting so much of our time over things we do not care about?

Dear glaciers, we'd really appreciate it if you don't melt.

Boxed up.
Sheldon | Portrayed by Andrew Garfield in the short-movie “I’m here”
When your friends ask you to put a box on your head for a photo opportunity. HAHA.
GOOD OMENS
This bears blogging as I cannot express my delight in 140 characters in Twitter (plus i get fail whaled). My two favorite fantasy writers (who are still alive and well) agreed to make Good Omens into a 4 part miniseries (This is the part where I try so hard not to type everything in caps lock). This is so fucking awesome!!! My God, that book was one of the best I've read!!!
