Sad Story....

Why is it that people always die when the love story is all about two people in love and the other one is a soldier or works for the military?
how come the soldier always has to go away?
Away as in dead or away as in just gone.
It's always a sad story. and stories like this one makes me want to cry.
c'mon! the girl who get's left behind is so lonely or crushed or torn or whatever!
why do people or these guys promise girls that they will come back even if they are not really sure if they will come back??
they don't even know if they can survive the war or something.
and then again of course these girls will wait or write letters hoping someday their loved one will come knocking on their doorstep.
the sad part is.....sometimes it's not their loved one who will come and knock. it will be the messenger or the captain or the co-soldier giving them the news that that person died in the war and he wants to give you this or that(it can either be a letter or something sentimental)
waaaaaaaaaah!
what a sad sad story.....
i hate stories like this! although i want to watch or read something like this one because it makes me feel so emotional. hahaha!
ok, so maybe i really don't hate it that much.
haha!

Review: If You Could See Me Now

If You Could See Me Now by Cecelia Ahern
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Last September 7, 2008, 3:30pm...i came to my room and wept.(JOKE!) haha!
I got the book from my bookshelf and started reading the book...(duh!)

before anything else i would just like to say this, a quote from the book that was mentioned by one of the characters, and that is, GNIROB!(smiles)

You know the movie P.S. I Love You? yep. Cecelia Ahern is also the author of that book. This book "If You Could See Me Now" will also be made into a film. waaah! OK, i know i'm obsessing....but this book made me cry!

I know, OK, here I go again with my babbling to all of you guys.
You see, i just read a book called "If You Could See Me Now" i was really deeply involved in the story that i couldn't stop grasping the story in my mind and just held it there. it's like i don't want it to end or it's like I'm wanting the story to go on and lead to that HAPPY ENDING that i want! I really wanted the story to have a happy ending. although i know it did by making me see that the characters were all happy and contented by just feeling a small part of their lives that they met someone that made them fall in love and then just move on.( i don't think i made that one clear enough) but still, you know me, i always keep on babbling here that i couldn't stop myself from saying the things that i want for myself or for whatever story it is that my mind couldn't stop forgetting and just move on....grrrrrr.. i can't help feeling but sad, lonely... it's like i want to cry as in really cry but i couldn't seem to do it. well actually i did cry back in my room when i finished reading the book. yep, as in with tears! hahaha! anyway, it's not funny, i really feel like crying right now, but i just can't, although i feel like I'm crying from the inside. i know i may sound really crazy but i don't know, i just feel like this.

First of all, how come some people just end up their stories with somewhat happy YET REALLY REALLY depressing for other readers. Well, readers like me. i just don't get it! they LOVE each other!!! for crying out loud! THEY LOVE EACH OTHER! and that seems to be not enough for them to love happily ever after. OK, given the point that Ivan is immortal or doesn't really exist or imaginary! Even so, how come he has the capabilty to fall in love for someone. Huh? what's the sense of that capability if he couldn't even really hold on to it in the end!!!! i hate the feeling if i was him, i know he hated or well, he got really really sad that he can't love her normally. that was a really sad THING! so sad that i even cried for it! haha! NOT FUNNY!
so anyway, given that how come there's nothing that they can do about it? like wish for him to be a normal person or something to make Others see him. how come Opal can't do anything about it? look at her love life, she kept loving the old man until he arrived on his deathbed. really really sad! how come the Jinky joes didn't help at all? the falling star?? waaaaaaaaaaah!
i'm really disappointed because just look at that really DEPRESSING idea. (it makes me want to cry all over again)
and here's another one, the fact that Elizabeth has been abandoned, lonely and afraid of facing what she has or what life she has!!! now, that she found someone that really understands her and love her, that guy isn't even meant to be with her FOREVER??!!! that is so cruel!!!!!!!!!!
how come life for her is like that? didn't she suffered enough for her to face another lost? and this time the lost of the love of her life!??!!

i don't like it!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i want to cry!!!!!!!!!!!
ok, i really like the book and the story. but COME ON!!! i want a happy ending!!!!!!!!! i want Ivan to be a normal person or for him to EXIST in the world of humans so that they could all be happy and just enjoy each other's company! for crying out loud Luke is also his FRIEND!!! they make a great FAMILY!!!
waaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
okok....i have to
stop.

I have to let it out of my sytem!!!!

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!
OK. i guess you're wondering why i just typed the long word up there...it's just i feel like shouting! like EVERYDAY! i don't know. i just want to shout! i want to go somewhere far so that i can unwind myself. i feel lonely that's all. it's like i have this REALLY BORING LIFE. not that i'm doing anything to stop that boring things that are happening. it's also the way i want it anyway...so i don't really want to change ALL of it. it's just that i feel lonely because i think somethings missing. i have friends but then i just feel that it's or rather they are not enough. it's not that i don't like them anymore i just want to get to know a lot more people, problem is i'm holding back from doing it. and i don't know why i'm so scared!!! Damn it! i hate myself for being such a loser right now. i know right, actually i'm fine sometimes. but then sometimes i just get really lonely and i feel that everything going to vanish once i stop breathing or something. another thing is i hate myself for being envious to those couples that i see almost like everywhere and everyday of my life. i don't know how i started to have this feeling of emptiness but i just found out that i want a boyfriemd too. haha! funny because i don't really want one i think i just think that it will make me happy or something or maybe because i don't know... maybe i just want to experience that kind of feeling...but then again AS IF! i'm so boring. yah i know as in BORING! so right now i don't know what to do! i want to cry. actually i just feel miserable and emo with all the things that i'm THINKING! aaaaaaaaaaah!
what i don't get is why i always have a crush everyday.. grrr!! i don't even know THEM i just see them ehen i leave and go for school. grrrr! ok i'm so PATHETIC!!!

out of the blue

i dont know what to say. ok, that's a first.
i know i have a lot of things going on inside my mind right now, but i can't seem to find the right words and explain myself in a right way of explaining. bummer!
for the past few days well actually last week is the appropriate term for that, i was locked inside a cage with sparrows roaming outside my window and smoke with blue flame flowing across the road. lol! just joking...
in other literal way, i was just inside the house reading dancing singing and other nonsense that can be done....i don;t have enough choice because...first of all i money is a reason, 2nd is because i'm too far away from the civilized place(lol, just kidding) 3rd would be because there was a storm last week, 4th would be because the distance on my way out of this subdivision is too far! garr.
so, i'm stuck here all alone in the wilderness. hahaha! just kidding...
it's not that it's not fun and all, it's just that GOSH! all i do is read read read AND READ! if you can see my planner it's full of BOOK TITLES! like HELLO? all i do around here is read. not that i don;t clean the house or anything, i manage to be the dishwasher everynight and i always sweep the 2nd floor for the sake of cleaning....and i also take a bath..not that it's not of the usual things i do. lol. i just want to mention that one. oh well, i guess THIS is MY SUMMER....BORING...but i don't know i enjoy reading.....it's just....oh i don't know. grrr.
another point that i want to share with you my dear is that CLASSES start netx MONDAY for a Lasallian like ME! grr! it's not that i don't want to go to school, part of me wants to go to...my ONLY problem is the "TRAVEL" part. to be honest i'm SCARED! i don't know....maybe because knowing the HOURS that would take me there to school and again to go back home is like....YEARS of traveling...lol...you get the picture. IT's TOO FAR!!!!!!!! *sighs* i'm also scared because i don't know if i can manage to study or do my schoolworks once i got home, i imagine myself fall to my bed and just sleep...i'm scared of that! you know i have a weakness when it comes to SLEEP! waaah!!! really scary....anyway....i just hope i can manage. and obviously i'm really going to curse someone once it rains or anything!!!! I HATE STORMS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!and FLOODS!!!!!!!!!!! really ANNOYING and EPAL!
i don't what to say anymore....all i know is that 6 days from now i'm sitting in a class room, trying not to be nervous and all....waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

Last Book of Dream Trilogy

oh yeah! c'mon! hahah!
i'm done reading the last book yeah!
the book is "Finding the Dream" by Nora Roberts.
it talks about the story of Laura Templeton, finding and feeling the real and true LOVE of her life.
she was able to experience the feel of someone wanting her and loving her more than anyone or anything.
i feel so glad and i envy her!! i wish i have someone like the bad and dangerous michael fury. errr...
ok here i go again. hahahah!
i hope to feel that kind of wanting to.
i know it's not yet time for me or so i think it's not.. but i don't know...
no one will know except me i guess....
it's not that bad but..ok i don't know what to say.
i pity Laura at first because she's so ALONE!
i mean...alone in a sense that she doesn't have someone with her like at night...someone to hold her..someone to guide her...someoneshe can depend on... you know.. a LIFETIME partner..
then someone came sneaking behind her back and saw her scrubbing a bath tub. hahahha! i know form the moment they were just teens...LAura had an eye for Michael.. like Michael had an eye for her. ir eally wished they were the one who well....or rather Michael was the guy who Laura fell in love at first...so that she can just have that LOVE the magic or the desire that she has with her...errr..
ok...that's all. hahahahah!

Eclipse by Stephenie Meyer

gah! so, when i was reading NEW MOON in MEgamall, that was also the same day that i bought ECLIPSE! wah!
i can't believe it either! i have the 3 books of Twilight Series! gah!

i started reading Eclipse MArch 13, 2008. gah! i love it because Edward will NEVER ever leave BELLA! EVER! hahah! he was also very protective and not allowing BElla to come see the -according to Edward- mongrel.. haha! jacob, i mean. so i liked that part. i also like the part when Bella asked edward to do the the most passionate and intimate thing that couples do, but obviously., edward refused because he thinks that he might kill BELLA.... sighs... but that doesn't mean there were no intimate parts in the book. wah! hahah! thinking about it makes me feel the kilig factor. hahah!

Thursday, i quoted, "Gah! I'm still obsessed with TWILIGHT SERIES! I can't control myself! I think I'm losing it. But then again I'm happy.....maybe because i haven't read series for like, what? DECADES? haha! oa..."

hahah! so, there, i read and read and read,,,and when Saturday came..i READ! as in READ! never leaving my place!

i hate the fact that BELLA realized the he's in love with JACOB BLACK. gah....when i was reading that part, i wondered what Edward is thinking. although he's not mad at her for loving Jacob, I'm still curious if GREAT PAIN came over Edward. because, i don't believe he's not HURT! gah! oh well, Edward is like they say in the book, unselfish...but i still don't think he's not HURT! that can't be! gah! i hate Jacob for kissing BELLA! and Bella actually respond to that kiss! gah!! i hate hate hate that PART! i know that BELLA loves EDWARD MORE THAN JACOB...but i still hate that PART! gah!!! EPAL! rar! hay... I'm happy BELLA accepted Edward's marriage proposal! that part was REALLY SWEET!!! traditional but gah so romantic!!! shit.
I'm kinda sad for Jacob and anxious what might happen to him in Breaking Dawn....what happened after Jacob feels the way he felt in the epilogue part of Eclipse
wah!! i want to see and read an excerpt of Breaking Dawn...anytime i might be found dead here with my laptop. ahhah! oa again...gah!!

I LOVE TWILIGHT SERIES!

i know this entries sound really weird to you guys...but i can't help it! it's what i'm feeling as of the moment! gah!!

According to Stephenie Meyer,,
TWILIGHT is about FINDING TRUE LOVE...
NEW MOON is about LOSING TRU LOVE...
and
ECLIPSE is about CHOOSING TRUE LOVE!....
gah!! she chose EDWARD! and she will forever chose him!
because like she said SHE can NEVER LIVE without EDWARD CULLEN!
that WILL NEVER EVER CHANGE! gah!
i'm positive about it! hahah!

BREAKING DAWN!! august2!!! gah!!
I also like to read MIDNIGHT SUN so BAD! gah!

New Moon by Stephenie Meyer Part2

<--THE CULLENS! Wah! today is the day! hahah! I'm reading NEW MOON! hahah! yeah! but...before the reading part, i have to go through school! gah! I'm very eager to get over school and just continue reading NEW MOON, so there, gah school!

Funny thing today is that i can still feel that EDWARD left me too. hahah! yeah! how insane of me. i can feel all the pain inside my chest. i was about to cry, but i know that won't be necessary. hahah! gah! i feel so depressed and lonely! haha! i know I'm not supposed to feel what BELLA is feeling but i can't seem to understand myself either. gah again! i felt my cheeks were really hot. hahah! there's a hole in my chest just like BELLA, and my knees are trembling! shet! i think i have a disorder of some sort. haha! but then i can still feel that I'm normal. hahah! gah.

About the book i hate the fact the Edward left Bella! gah! and i was irritated that JAcob has to fall in love for BElla! gah!

i hate the part that' i had been patient reading the chapters that Edward isn't involve. wah! maybe because i have a better control on myself and i don;t like to spoil Edward's return. IF HE DOES RETURN....
well, to my surprise he did! and almost lost his life! gah! thanks to BELLA>...gah!
I'm so angry at Edward because he left, and the words that he left Bella which is, "It's as if I've never existed" gah! i hate you EDWARD!!! i hate you!!!gah!!! i hate because Jacob has to replace him! gah!! well, not actually replace because Edward is STILL the TRUE LOVE of BELLA...gah!
i can't explain my anger...but...i don't know...i can't.. hahah! all i know is that every chapter that Edward is away, i keep on screaming in my room like an insane person, saying, "gah!! EDWARD COME BACK ALREADY!!! GAH!! i hate you for leaving!! why?Why?!" haha! sounds pretty silly huh? hahah! yah i know that about myself and it's pretty funny! HAHAH!

i remember, one morning when i was on the way to school, I'm listening to the songs in my cellphone and every song i listened to was, WELL i think IS CONNECTED to NEW MOON and TWILIGHT> hahah! i kept on closing my eyes, and remembering all the scenes and chapters in my head. gah! hahah!

Okay, i you are to chose, vampires? or werewolves? hmmm...
i pick vampires! because 2 WORDs damnit! EDWARD CULLEN!
gah!

New Moon by Stephenie Meyer Part1

NewMOON! wah! remember my previous entry? well, i said I'm OBSESSED right? well here i am, and i just bought NEW MOON! i didn't care if it will make me hungry and poor because of using my school money., ahhaha! gah! sorry i really am addicted with this! haha!
so there, March 10, 2008, i bought NEW MOON! gah! i started reading it when i went home.
This book is when Edward will leave BELLA! making Bella suffer and all that craziness-depression-ish. wah! I'm really drawn with this book, it's as if i can feel the suffering of BELLA! the numbness the hole in her chest. EVERYTHING that makes her upset! it's like EDWARD left me too! (hahah! ang feeling! ahhah!) well, anyway, it's what i felt, when i was reading it. rar! I'm stuck with the phrase that Bella quoted when she was in the depression stage, "Past fading, Future impending"...wah! it's time for me to sleep! and I'm still not in the part na Edward came back! IF he does and WILL come back! gah! i hate the thought that he won't be coming back! it's like killing and pulling all out all the insides in your system and mind. the only hard part is that those insides fight to be taken away from their place! shit....wonder when i can be deep as Shakespeare...or whoever classic author was there...maybe i could make all of you cry! haha!

anyway...i must sleep! school tomorrow. shit. and there's a transport strike, meaning NO JEEP! shit. so there, later.!

Twilight by Stephenie Meyer

Okay, i might be a little malabo and weird and obsessed AND CRAZY, but well, you know well enough blogger, so don't complain why i speak or talk like this in here! haha!

So here goes, last week, uhmm March 5, 2008, to be exact, i accidentally and unintentionally bought a book, that i didn't even know that I WILL LOVE! SHET! so anyway, the book's name is TWILIGHT by Stephenie Meyer. At first i thought i won't be reading any book as of now. and to even prove to you why i was going that path was because i packed ALL my UNREAD and READ books, put them all in a huge box and sent them away to our new house, which is in CAinta. haha! funny thing is, i let my new bought-book stay under my sister's bed(my pretend book case). i didn't actually knew what the reason was, but i guess i don't want to send all my books away so i kept one, in case i changed my mind in READING again. actually, i don't have any reason for me to read again, i guess I'm just tired, preoccupied and maybe a bit lazy to read as well. but then BOOM! hahah! after i send all my "babies", i went inside my sister's room and well, i searched the internet and typed TWILIGHT in the search engine. so there, when i saw WHAT WAS INSIDE THAT BOOK, i was sooooo...well i can't explain and i can't think of any adjective to describe that feeling, but i think i felt my myself a bit crazy. maybe it's also because the pictures of the Characters are really beautiful! the characters!!! wah!!! i think that's the first thing that struck me and influenced me to read the book. but then, at that time, it wasn't enough, because i'm still LAZY, and seeing the SIZE and the PAGES of that THICK book! gah! i'm like, I DON'T THINK SO, JOAN!"....so there, when i was holding the book and unconsciously STARING at it, i was like, what the hell, it can't hurt. (oh!! i guess i have another "theory" why i don't like to read books at the moment, especially series; well because i know that once i started reading, i know that i won't be able to control myself and I'm going to be obsessed like what i am right now. gah!)
SO there, I'm reading the book! and i can't help but read it and read it and read it, until i realized that i was REALLY enjoying that book! guess i haven't read any book like that before, or it's just because i haven't read any books like THAT for a long time. the book was a PAGE TURNER! hahaha! i love it. but then time has to break all the excitement I'm feeling at that moment, because i have to live the house to watch a play. gah. but then, you know what, i didn't care, because i brought the book along with me, i even decided to buy the 2 books. so i decided to go out the house and went to National Bookstore, Cubao! hahaha! yah i know, crazy me! hahah! there, i was expecting to see PAPERBACK copies of NEW MOON and ECLIPSE, but then i only saw a HARDBOUND copy of Eclipse, so i said, maybe some other time. because GAH! books are really expensive, even if it's sale! GAH! they are HARD BOUND books! i can't afford at that time, so there, i said i just have to wait. GAH! so what i did was, i just bought another series, which is the VAMPIRE DIARIES series. yeah! hahaha! i guess I'm totally obsessed with vampires now. hahah! then after that i went to DLSU, well, first i ate lunch at Jollibee, waiting for my friend to came while i was READING TWILIGHT! haha! (how obsessed, right?!) hahaha!
so yeah, i kept on reading and reading and reading..i got home from school and read again. next day nstp, i brought the book with me! hahah! although i didn't read it in the site, so when i got home, i slept and did all my HWs,...after ALL that, i began reading again...then at about...2-3am I'm done reading the book! gah!! so beautiful.
I'm in love with EDWARD! i even wished I'm BELLA! gah!! EDWARD CULLEN iS THE PERFECT GUY! shit! i can't believe and accept that he's just a fictional character. hay...
but then again, TWILIGHT is GREAT! all of you should read it! the love story was so captivating and GAH! hahaha! i like the part when BELLA is irritated because she doesn't know why Edward "hates" her and why HE doesn't want to be friends with her. although Edward is acting the i-should-stay-away-from-Bella act, he still can't keep himself away from her! wah!! it makes my spine tingle when i'm thinking about this! wah!!! it's a really wonderful book! and i can't wait to see the movie! i also like the playlist that Stephenie made in her site. gah! I'm so obsessed! shit.
obsessed..hahah! the next day, i read the first chapter of Midnight SUn, it's a book, well it's the story of Twilight, only it's from edward's point of view. wah! amazing author you are MEYER! gah!

Scrambled Eggs at Midnight by Brad Barkley

Scrambled Eggs at Midnight (Hardcover)
by Brad Barkley
"My mother is a wench. It says so right on her W-2." Fifteen-year-old Calliope (Cal) is tired of sleeping in tents and following her free-spirited mother, who works at Renaissance fairs, selling handmade jewelry and serving drinks. She yearns for four walls, her father back in Texas, and a deeper sense of place, connection, and love. Then, while spending the summer in Asheville, North Carolina, Cal meets Elliot, also 15, whose father runs a Christian camp for overweight kids. Like David Levithan and Rachel Cohn's Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist (2006), this coauthored love story unfolds in alternating chapters narrated in Cal and Elliot's hilarious, heart-tugging voices. Although the adult characters veer toward caricature, and the story's closing events feel a bit hasty and undeveloped, the authors raise a potentially routine summer romance into a refreshing, poetic, memorable story filled with the precise small details that nudge people toward love--from the sound of a necklace to the taste of homemade barbeque sauce.

Cindy Ella by Robin Palmer

Cindy Ella
by Robin Palmer
Prom fever has infected LA—especially Cindy’s two annoying stepsisters, and her overly Botoxed stepmother. Cindy seems to be the only one immune to it all. But her anti-prom letter in the school newspaper does more to turn Cindy into Queen of the Freaks than close the gap between the popular kids and the rest of the students. Everyone thinks she’s committed social suicide, except for her two best friends, the yoga goddess India and John Hughes–worshipping Malcolm, and shockingly, the most popular senior at Castle Heights High and Cindy’s crush, Adam Silver. Suddenly Cindy starts to think that maybe her social life could have a happily ever after. But there’s still the rest of the school to deal with. With a little bit of help from an unexpected source and a fabulous pair of heels, Cindy realizes that she still has a chance at a happily ever after.

Sweet 16 by Kate Brian and

Sweet 16
Kate Brian
Teagan Phillips is obnoxiously rich, obnoxiously fashionable, and, this year, she's obnoxiously turning sixteen. No one's sweet sixteen party will be as glitzy, glamorous, decadent, and, well, obnoxious as Teagan's sweet sixteen party. She might single-handedly take the sweet out of sweet sixteen.

In typical fashion, nothing is quite right for Teagan on the night of her sweet sixteen party. When a slew of unfortunate events unfold at what was supposed to be the sweet sixteen event of the century, she hits rock bottom, literally, by falling down the stairs into the wine cellar. When she comes to, a strange woman is standing over her. What happens next will bring Teagan back in time to when she was a sweet little girl with two parents, before her mother died and her father t hrew himself into his work.

She'll be forced to face the choices she made that led her to be the person she is on her sixteenth birthday. And with the help of her fairy godmother (or whoever the heck the creepy woman in white is), this will be the sweetest of all sixteens.

=========

The Possibility of Fireflies
by Dominique Paul
Ellie, almost 15, and her older sister, Gwen, were always close--until their parents separated and their depressed mother became brutal, detached, and unpredictable. Ellie hides her problems at home from her friends, always trying to steer clear of controversy. Her sister, however, rebels, challenging their mother at every turn--partying, vandalizing, doing drugs--and sometimes taking Ellie along. But Ellie knows Gwen's solution is not for her, and in her strong, distinctive voice--smart and sweet--she agonizes as she struggles to find a way to connect loving memories of her mother with the reality of the volatile parent she knows now. It's a familiar enabling scenario (complete with a "counselor" in the form of a kindly, if sketchily drawn, 20-year-old neighbor), but Paul makes the story her own by investing Ellie with an appealing stubbornness and optimism that allow her to work her way slowly but surely through difficulties to find a safe, right path. Nancy Werlin offers a slightly different take on the difficult subject of abusive mothers in The Rules of Survival (2006).

Right now i feel like the grade 5 that i was before. that grade 5 is so obsessed with 'n sync and as in super that girl(me) always listen to that band's album "No Strings Attached". Wah! is there a cure to this? because right now, i'm thinking whether 'n sync will reunite someday...but them i realize that that thought is SO impossible. well, because, HELLO? Lance is gay, Justine is SUPER popular, JC parted with his recording management chorva, and the other 2 members, well i have no info about them. WAH! i miss 'n sync SOOOO bad! i want to see them! i remember before that I've been crushing BIG time with JC! hahah! well, only because that frontman is so cute, has great voice and a REALLY great dancer. Bu then, i also remember when i was in high school, that i saw his music video in mtv, the song I dream about sex; and i was like WHAT THE HELL is this song? JC WHAT HAPPENED?? wah..yah...what a reaction right? hahah! i was so disappointed and irritated..because he really has a great voice! problem is he's not singing the RIGHT songs!! hay.....now he's old... hahaha! but everytime i see and try to imagine the way he looked before it makes me want to go back when i was still grade 4 or 5. hahahah! anyway,,,, HAY>>>>'N SYNC!!! i miss u!!! i miss all of you SOOOOOOO BAD!!!
