by the way...

I finally read Revelations, the 3rd Blue Bloods book by Melissa de la Cruz. It's either that I'm lazy to do a review or it just didn't have that big impact on me. Anyway, here's a brief, bulleted review.
  • The ending sucks. It's not an epilogue, it's a crapilogue.
  • There's a hidden chapter. I'm annoyed that it's not published because I love that chapter more than the other published chapters.
  • It's truly "Revelations"
  • Monday: My Ate Carllyn told me it's so great. I was so enthusiastic. I told my friends, specifically Mariel and Hazel "Wag nyo ko pipigilan!"Little did I know they'd take it too seriously... // Friday: I bought it. Spent 599 Pesos for it.
  • I can't wait for the other books.
  • I will never doubt Ms. Melissa de la Cruz ever again. I thought Blue Bloods would be a bit shallow considering the fashion statements and luxuries implied throughout the books. I know, shame on me.

Okay. Time to study for my Computer exam.

Pointless

It's NaNoWriMo! :)

But I'm not joining. It'll be hard to balance my schoolwork... especially now that I'm a Junior AND I'm trying to make-up for the last quarter. *Sigh* I wish I joined last year. Problem is, I was having a Writer's block [[aww. I'm a writer! =))]] Writers from FictionPress are hooked on NaNoWriMo, even published authors like Meg Cabot! Wow! Maybe next year I can...

Well, I anyway, I want to ramble and roar about some stuff today. Now that I think about it, the topic is probably my pet peeve: story endings. You see, I was browsing through the National Bookstore Website searching if Revelations by Melissa dela Cruz is already available. That was when I stumbled upon another book, Inkdeath by Cornelia Funke. I love the Inkheart series! The genre is fantasy, another favorite aside from romance. Anyway, the mentioned is actually the final book of the Trilogy. I was so excited! I've read the 2 books last year, borrowed from the library. I was actually planning on buying all 3 books. But after reading the reviews of those who have finished reading it (finding some spoilers as well), I don't think I'll buy it, let alone read it anymore. Here's the thing: Farid and Meggie won't get together. But I love that pairing! A girl from the real world and a boy from a different world, from inside a book! Aside from the obvious, how can it not work out?!?! Although the reviews say it has a great ending, I still couldn't force myself to read it. And here's the thing: I don't force myself to read! Except textbooks of course.

I read because I want to travel, explore new things, play with emotions. I read becuase I want to escape. Blame it on Disney, but I'm a sucker for happy endings. I read a story from Fictionpress entitled, Jonnie the Girl, I loved it! That is until the unexpected and tragic twist... then realizing that it was a true to life story! I got so depressed, I cried that night and was all gloomy the next day. See this is what I hate. I'm not naive to not realize that life can be a bitch, so this is where books come in, where there are happy endings, goodness and love conquers all, blah blah blah. It may seem like a childish fantasy, but it's like my drug you see.

So why bother with tragic endings? Fiction is supposed to be my escape. It's pointless to read drama if it goes on until the end. I admit, I like heartaching stories, thinking that the ending will be sweeter through it all. But if the story is left as is... NO!

And speaking of Revelations, I read a review that it's ending is... disappointing. Well, that's okay. Because I know there is still 6 more books out of 9 to make it all better.

So there. RAWR.

My Fairytale. Something sickeningly sweet... or not.

Once upon a time there has a young NECROMANCER named JACK FORCE. He was ADDICTIVELY NOTHING in the ECCENTRIC forest when he met WIDE JESSE DE SILVA, a run-away VAMPIRATE from the SHINY Queen SCHUYLER VAN ALLEN.


JACK FORCE could see that WIDE JESSE DE SILVA was hungry so he reached into his ZIPLOCK and give him his STUPID CHOCOLATE. WIDE JESSE DE SILVA was thankful for JACK FORCE's CHOCOLATE, so he told JACK FORCE a very GOLDEN story about Queen SCHUYLER VAN ALLEN's daughter SUSSANAH SIMON. How her mother, the SHINY Queen SCHUYLER VAN ALLEN, kept her locked away in a CASTLE protected by a gigantic PANDA, because SUSSANAH SIMON was so FUNNY.


JACK FORCE SQUEALED. He vowed to WIDE JESSE DE SILVA the VAMPIRATE that he would save the FUNNY SUSSANAH SIMON. He would SING the PANDA, and take SUSSANAH SIMON far away from her evil mother, the SHINY Queen SCHUYLER VAN ALLEN, and IMAGINE her.


Then, all of the sudden, there was a SARCASTIC BLINK and WIDE JESSE DE SILVA the VAMPIRATE began to laugh. With a puff of smoke he turned into the gigantic PANDA from his story. SHINY Queen SCHUYLER VAN ALLEN FAINTED out from behind a WHITE ROSE and struck JACK FORCE dead. In the far off CASTLE you could hear a KYA~!.


THE END.

p a n n i c k [and depression.]

Let me quote my my shout out in friendster.
PA·NNICK

I have been making A LOT of mistakes [mostly wrong decisions] this past week. I don't even want to write ANY of it here... to embarrassing.
Well, maybe I'll tell you about my LATEST mistake.
Today I went to the mall, hoping to buy Masquerade by Melissa da la Cruz, the sequel to her Blue Bloods novel. And just my luck, [or lack of it.] I checked FOUR bookstores and it's all SOLD OUT. -sigh- And to think now is the time that I HAVE MONEY and the books are ON SALE. How pathetic. I really didn't want to go to the mall... I'm not much of a shopper anyway. But wishful thinking... nevermind.
-groans- I have TONS to do for Monday... and I could've accomplished HALF of it if I haven't been so... STUPID. [Infinity times.]
I know. So negative. Not the usual me. But I just feel so MISERABLE.
Bite me.

Oh. And check out this pic. It's so sadistic that I love it.

Pure Coincidences

Vampires.
I started to become... well, addicted or fascinated about them eversince I started reading Twilight by Stephenie Meyer.
So now, I'm reading Vampire Knight- a manga by Matsuri Hino, and I've just finished reading Blue Bloods by Melissa De La Cruz.
There's a coincidence... an incest. Well, not exactly an incest, but the brother-to-sister pairing...
In Blue Bloods, there are the twins Jack and Mimi [who I really hate] Force bound by blood since birth. And then there's the revelation in Vampire Knight that Yuuki Cross, is actually the younger sister of Kaname Kuran and her betrothed.
Coincidence? All the vampire novels I've read [which is actually very very few] have many differences in their 'legends' or origins. But it's a cool coincidence isn't it?
Well anyway, now that I've finished reading Blue Bloods, here's my opinion on it:
There's not much romance in Blue Bloods as there is in Twilight, but the former book is still a page-turner for me. I may be a romance reader [at times. more of a fantast reader actually...] but I was drawn to the mystery behind Blue Bloods. The legend stuff on the Blue Bloods- or vampires, is so... interesting, not cliche' at all. That's why... that's why... I WANT TO BUY MASQUERADE NOW NOW NOW!
Okay, I'm acting very spoiled. Bad.
But it's true. Man, I'm spending a lot on books nowadays. I'm not even watching anime anymore! Getting too addicted to books! But that doesn't mean I don't like anime anymore... I just don't have time. Oh well, summer's drawing near. That means I have to start SAVING for anime DVDs and books.
Speaking of books, the one I bought on a booksale, Caribbean Cruisin', has been circulating for a while now... hmm...
