tick tock tick tock :)

YM sucks.

No, really. It's been 2 days since we (M, E and of course me. :D) had a decent conference without it ending briefly. The cause? YM sucks. One of us would start a conference but not all of us can see each other's messages.

YM sucks. Twitter's cool and Meebo's our gay (according to E) alternative!

Anyway, school is about to start in a few days time... I haven't covered my books, cleaned my bag or even set my sleeping time straight. I think I'm nocturnal, somniferous during the day. :D I don't want to go to school yet, though I don't want the classes to be moved due to the H1N1 panic. I miss my friends but I'm scared to know whether or not they'll be my classmates for the last time. M & I were supposed to go to school last Monday to check the sections. Unfortunately (or not) it's going to be posted this friday. :| Delaying the inevitable? Is that a sign?

Signs are bad. When I was buying some school supplies at National Bookstore, I came across the Book Of Answers. I was texting M at that time, and so I asked whether or not we'd be classmates. Tentenenen! The answer was...

NO.

Just plain negative. I don't know what to think of it.

Actually, no. I don't want to think of it right now! I'll just ramble about the upcoming New Moon movie. I saw the trailer this morning. And after watching it, I thought... BORING. It gives too much of the beginning away. The Twilight trailer was better, and that's saying something.



My only driving force to watch this movie on theaters is because of TAYLOR LAUTNER.
Reason? Um, hello. Just look at him at the trailer! Get it? :)) E's driving force may be him or Dakota Fanning who plays Jane.

Well, I'm trying to make the most out of this summer now that it's days away from my Senior Year. How? I splurged on ANIME (Pandora Hearts and Princess Tutu (I know, I know. But I used to like it! I still like it!)), MANGA (Hana to Akuma), MUSIC (soundtripin' the summer away) and of course various E-BOOKS and Fictionpress Romances. (too many to list) Oh, and YM of course. Even Peanutz is going all watching Gakuen Alice (courtesy of Moi), Digimon (apparently there's a cute guy much like Natsume) and Boys Over Flowers (Mom's to blame)! I haven't seen much of my other cousin though... after we hacked his site... he isn't paying his debts!

Summer's about to end...

... I still haven't decided on a college course.

Happy Moments :) -- the recent memorable ones.

Jom: [reading the DVD excerpt of Wild Child]... addicted to Jimmy Choos. Who's he?
Annick: They're shoes.

-While watching Wild Child-
~Emma Roberts falls into the water~
Therese: Wow!
That's a big swimming pool!
Jom: That's the
ocean.

Bittersweet read. ♥ Six Feet From Paradise by JD Allen ~ something worth publishing.
It seems as if I can't get the idea of a bittersweet romance (parted by death) out of my head this holiday... I'm so weird.

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.

ECC3NTRIC TAST3S

Reading novels from FictionPress has become a habit as well as an addiction. I forgot how many I've read and swooned on. They're all great! Here are just some of the stories that made my summer unforgettable. As in changing the way I think [[partly]] and urged me to try out other stuff. Or maybe just made me simply daydream more than usual.

The Obsession With Jack
[[Haha! It's so... -pause- the lyrics were great! If Egburt 2 was really a band I'm sure to be addicted with their songs. ;) Jack. I like the name.]]

Ordinary World
[[Fantasy themed. Adventure packed. Droll humor. Some cloak-and-dagger businesses. Twisted fairy tales. And a cute love triangle. I love it.]]

Through Me
[[Reminds me of Natsume and Mikan banters. I love it more than False Facades (curse those plagiarizers!). Even though it's not yet finished, I admit it's notable.]]

Off the Page
[[So true. Just read. One of my faves. (ironicallly.)]]

As most readers and reviewers say, On with the story~!

He said, She said. BUZZ!

Just reading some random stories at fictionpress...

“Shhhh, not in front of the books!”

"Frankly, I don’t see you as an Abraham. More like a…Jack. Yes, Jack sounds right."

“You… shall not… pass!” I murmured quietly to myself wishing Jessica were there if only to share in my love of movie quotes.

“What?” she asked, and stared at him beneath narrowed brows. Dorian grinned and chuckled. She had fallen for it.

Randomness? Product of Boredom. A dying patient of ennui. Poor Annick.
