Book Review: "The Best of Me"

The Best of Me by Nicholas Sparks
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Another heart-filling but also heart-breaking story. Another wonderful work of Nicholas Sparks.

I liked the twists and turns of the plot. It was thrilling and as well as romantic in it's own wonderful way. More wise words about life from a wise man. Sometimes, loving means giving the best of you.

A day after valentines and my heart was broken

The Fault in Our Stars by John Green

Before reading ( when i got the book) : I was waiting my whole life for this book you see. So when I got it I was like “YES!!muahahaha!!Finally! after a long and painful waiting, you are here! In my hands, my shelf, my life!” All my friends who have read this book already warned me not to read it around people. But I’m a rebel so I did.

While I was reading: I started reading it last night. I slept late (past midnight) because I could not stop myself: my hands from turning the pages and my eyes from reading and my brain from processing. But then sleepiness poked me and so I slept. When I woke, I was tempted to open the book but I resisted. Today was the first day of our school fair so we don’t have classes but. instead,  manage our booth and all. My duty hours was from 1 pm to 3 so I had 8 am to 1 pm free. So I continued reading the book. The warning echoed in my mind but I wholeheartedly refused to acknowledge it. And then it came to the point where I went inside our booth because the bureau of eye emergency detector was warning me that there may be a big flash flood of tears coming and will be rushing through the cheek city. And yeah, it wasn’t a false alarm. Chapter 21 sent me an armor-piercing projectile of words. The very first words of this chapter abominated my life. I was expecting it, of course. But the intensity of the epic tragedy was just so life-shattering. So I broke down into a fit of muffled sobs and blurryfying tears.

After reading: Is it weird if I tell you that my mind is currently paralyzed in reading other books because all I can think right now is “The Fault in Our Stars” and Augustus Waters. And every time I see the word “stars” (writing it took everything) it’s like someone shot me with an arrow.. 21 shall be my darkest number starting today.. :/And, not to forget, that I had a fit of waterworks around a bunch of classmates and, honestly, it was totally embarrassing but it was worth crying for and I can’t freaking stop my insisting tears. Confession; I’ve always had a stopping-myself-from-crying-when-people-is-in-the-vicinity problem. So yeah, I cried and earned a lot of pats and hair-shuffles and sweet words of comfort due to pity.

thanks for reading my thoughts (blabbering). Just want to remind you that I write all this stuff here in my blog to refrain from having a talking session with myself because I don’t want to sound like Gollum. Keep stargazing and stay awesome ^_~

Happy Thursday!!! ♥

Today, everybody seems to be greeting one another by saying "Happy Valentines/Hearts Day!" but I'll greet you by saying HAPPY THURSDAY!!!!!!!  Chocolates, boquete and balloons, cakes and other sweet stuff have been given. Others even did some 'big gesture' to their partners. And it's so sweet! Too sweet actually that the noble knights of the ant army are having their attack plan. Anyway, I just got a chocolate rose pop from a dear friend of mine.

my chocolate rose pop

Haven't had a bite in it but I will soon. I'm still cherishing the look of it (and the sweet chocolatey smell).

Anyway, For the past valentines days of my 15 years of existence, I only get to read and witness love letters, cards and grand gestures around me. This year...................... it's still the same. LOL haha.. never had something from a boy except that one time on my birthday when my crush(Him. the guy Autumn) gave me a cake. But it's not counted because it's my birthday, not valentines day. And also, he didn't buy the cake himself. My friends bought it and just hired him to give it to me. So basically, it's  my friend's gift for me. :p Anyway, yeah.. that's it.. Happy Valentines to you!! Spread the love! ♥

P.S

thanks for reading! ^_~

Bizarre

I had a really bizarre week. Life was crazy hectic and all. I hated it but at the same time I also had fun. We have all this project that is due tomorrow and my laptop was also taken away from me for three days so I wasn't able to update my blog. Sorry about that. I also had this random confession with a friend. LOL. It was crazy. And we did a bit of stalking which she is pretty good at. We were able to find some information like the middle name and the birth date of my crush. Crush, yes. Autumn. Him. Unfortunately, my subconscious still has a crush on him. And I told her about not even knowing his middle name and birth date so she helped me out. And yeah, Autumn is still together with his girlfriend. so what? It's a shame but I'm leaving my current school for college anyway, so might as well go with the flow. Anyway, It's all cool. It's not like I'm gonna steal him from her.

And I'm still in the process of getting over the fact that I won't be going to my dream school because it's darn far and so expensive and the place itself is not so safe. It sucks though. But i hope I get a better life with this no-choices-to-choose-from-situation. I think I'm entering the medical field instead. I hope all goes well. I hope and I wish.

so, that's pretty much what happened. Thanks for dropping by.

Paperman

Aww.. this video is so cute.


The one who designed this is the same man who did the The little Mermaid 24 years ago. He was also the man responsible for Tangled as well as a great many of the Classic Disney movies. Sadly, due to poor health, there is a very high chance that Paperman is his farewell to the medium he helped mold to what it is today.

Enjoy watching!

True. One key to keeping that from happening is to not to think about it. At least that's what I do.
