Escape from reality

Sometimes I wonder if I'm well read...

My Name is Memory

by : Ann Brashares

Daniel : I have lived more than a thousand years. I have died countless of times.

no. i didnt pick the book coz of the character.

It was the writer first. the title second. and the character - well.. that just made my decision easier.

if u are into soulmates - and somehow, at the back of your mind believe that people never really that far from their soul-groups.. well.. this might just be the book for you to feed on your belief.

it doesnt have to be true.
or real.

u believe what you have to - a survival instinct.

anyway, the story is about daniel. he's an old soul. when i say old soul - he really is an old soul. the thing that separate him from the rest of us is that he can remember.

he remembers each and every life.

its a story of his original sin. and for every lifetime, he search for her - for redemption i guess. for for thousands of years - he could never right the wrong he had done. it was always over before it even began.

of course, the story is about his present life. after centuries of searching and wanting her - he'll finally have that chance. and he'll bring you back to all those years from the very beginning.

the book ends with me 'almost' crying my heart out...
im not sure why coz its not really an ending. but it sure feels like one. and im not too sure if its a happy ending. coz it doesnt seem like it is.

or maybe, im just missing the character.
more than life itself.

Daniel : I have fallen in love, and she is the one who endures. I killed her once and died for her many times over and I still have nothing to show for it. I always search for her; i always remember her. I carry the hope that someday she will remember me.

The Last Vampire Series

by: Christopher Pike

u know people said, never judge a book by its cover.

well, with books.. the covers are everything.

this is one of them books that pulled me towards it.

i flipped through the first page. Read the first line. and that's it.

the rest as they said, is history.

apparently, the book is a compilation of few stories written back in the early 90s. thanks to twilight - books that were overlook before now are coming out - becoming bestseller - getting the credits it rightfully deserved.

a decade too late. but better late than never.

Thirst : No. 1

The story is about Sita.. well, she goes by many names.. yes. she's a vampire. and she has been for the past 5000 years.

she's strong. she's fast. she can walk under the sun. she's a millionaire - and times that by the millions. like duh.. after 5000 years? of course la.

somehow, her maker returns and hunting her down. and her quest in finding that out lead her to Ray. whom she eventually fell in love with.

ok.. u'd think its like another twilight hah.. well.. the writer is a guy. so.. believe me when i say, the romance part and all those chick part were kept to a minimum. in fact, its more like action - fightings - blood - hmmm...

but, somehow, im hooked.

Thirst : No. 2

well.. sita finally get to be a human here.

and not only that - she gets to be a mother. and baby kalika is craving for blood.

and more blood.

and more blood.

and did i say, blood??? Sita had to literally kidnap an unwilling blood donor and locked him up in a room for supplies.

and sita met a woman whom is also on the verge of giving birth to the 'could-he-be' the 2nd coming. and evil is hunting them.

sita must save the world.

u might not like the ending.

im almost disappointed.

i did say almost.
it is supposed to be the final chapter.

Thirst : No. 3

one fine day.. i was browsing through looking for new books to read. imagine my surprise seeing the familiar cover.

still remembering what happened in the last book, i flipped through the first page.

owh yes!

the ending that made me disappointed was somehow reverse.

mr pike made her come back. somehow it made sense.

here, sita traced down her descendants. she found teri. a human version of her. a new kind of old enemy resurface.

again.. alot of fighting.

new character is being introduced.
and im loving him already.

Thirst : No. 4

errrr.. not so sure what's happening here.

coming out August 2011.
lama-nyer lagi...

by the way..
here's the good news.

FilmNation Entertainment recently acquired the rights to the series of novels, seven total, and plans to adapt the story into a film, or series of films. FilmNation's president of production, Aaron Ryder, states the company's excitement and anticipation in "the opportunity to bring to life one of the best characters of young adult fiction."

seee...

isn't that just great?

well.. let the casting begin.

christmas billboards everywhere...

now.. wouldn't it be nice if we have it here.. everywhere..

Even as an adult I find it difficult to sleep on Christmas Eve. Yuletide excitement is a potent caffeine, no matter your age.

Love is what's in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents and listen.

Christmas is a time when you get homesick - even when you're home.

The best of all gifts around any Christmas tree: the presence of a happy family all wrapped up in each other.

lessed is the season which engages the whole world in a conspiracy of love!

Christmas is a time when kids tell Santa what they want and adults pay for it.

At Christmas, all roads lead home.

There has been only one Christmas - the rest are anniversaries.

He who has not Christmas in his heart will never find it under a tree.

Christmas waves a magic wand over this world, and behold, everything is softer and more beautiful.

Isn't it funny that at Christmas something in you gets so lonely for - I don't know what exactly, but it's something that you don't mind so much not having at other times.

I wish we could put up some of the Christmas spirit in jars and open a jar of it every month.

Christmas is a necessity. There has to be at least one day of the year to remind us that we're here for something else besides ourselves.

May Peace be your gift at Christmas and your blessing all year through!

christmas tree - checked.

this is a collective effort and years of collecting those ornaments.. lightings ... and what not.

and after all these years.. let me just say this.. its still not enough. we still gonna have to buy some more for next year.

the task for each of us has always been the same throughout the years..

CK took out all the stuff out of the store room - way before my 2nd birthday... put up the xmas tree.. get ready all those ornaments.. and then bugged everybody on a nightly basis.. 'pasangla cepat....'

VSK then put up the lights.. eventuallly.. after giving respect to my 2nd birthday.. coz i insisted it every year! every branches yo!

SK - me.. i did the decorating part. big ones way way inside.. small ones spread out all over the tree.. shiny ones must be placed somewhere near the lights to have that glowing effect..

MK... she's jack of all trade... tunggu arahan ja.. heeeeee....

in the past, we used to have theme for our christmas tree.. white christmas.. gold christmas.. blue christmas.. this year.. its all the colours of christmas.

there's pink - blue - gold - white - red - errrr... thats about it.

i super- heart that small pink present box ornaments coz it literally glows whether the lights are on or not... and ms pinky are all over the lower part of the tree..

and me thinks it looks very very lovely. im loving it!
though i wish there's more GOLD ornaments.

*mental note - 2011*

well.. good luck CK in taking it down next year. not an easy job i tell u.

over and out.

Few weeks before xmas..

Supposed to be shopping for xmas presies...

End up with a dilemma..

Buy black or white ??
(for me-self!!)
