Books, books and more books!

I'm still thinking if I want to get an iPad or some cheap ebook reader. What do you think, guys? What's the best ebook reader you recommend for me? I love reading books and I just wish I can take them all with me wherever I go. I can't keep on buying books because it's expensive, after reading the book it will only occupy space in the house, so I'm still debating on that. Now, the library is great... but The book is always checked out! Like today, I was searching for the first books of Kelley Armstrong, turns out they only have a few. I was searching for the other books like Fallen by Lauren Kate, it was checked out, too. Irritating. So I borrowed a few supernatural themed books and some chapter books for Nathan. After Twilight, I have moved on to other books and authors, still addicted to supernaturals... so this is my list:

Kelley Armstrong

1. Bitten
2. Stolen
3. Dime store magic (finished)
4. Industrial Magic (almost done)
5. haunted
6. Broken(I have it!)
7. No humans involved
8. Personal demon(I have it!)
9. living with the dead
10. frostbitten
11. Waking the witch
12. Spellbound


Lauren Kate

1. Fallen
(ebook) 2. Torment


Thomas Sniegoski

1. The fallen1
2. The fallen2


Cate Tiernan's Sweep series

Witch and Wizard

Alyson Noel's The immortals series
P.C. Cast's House of night series

I just realized that most books today are about supernaturals. And the covers. OH YES the covers! Very familiar.... They all look like Stephenie Meyer's book covers! They seem to be doing piggyback rides to twilight's success. Hmmm... I can't wait to read all of them, I wish I had a lot of time in a day. I could just read all day if I have to. I am also starting to read "Nightlight, A parody" I'm pretty sure I'll be laughing my heart out on this one. (LOL) I have finished reading Dime store magic and almost done on Industrial magic, I just fell in love with the characters of Paige Winterbourne and Lucas Cortez... aww, dear Lucas. I hope someday, they would make these books into movies. There's a rumor out saying that Angelina Jolie will be playing Elena Michaels as a werewolf. I'm not feeling her at all. She looks more like "Eve Levine", half demon. If you haven't read Kelley Armstrong's books, please do so, they're so great!

Roswell vs. Twilight

Hahaa! Please don't get mad at me for comparing the two. I started watching Roswell like 2 weeks ago and I am completely hooked. I was watching a few episodes once in awhile back in Hawaii, but I wasn't really into it. Roswell started back in 1999, I was only 16 at the time and I wasn't really into those kind of shows yet. Now, after watching the complete season 3, I started the other day with season 1 and I'm still not done. Weird, I know - why did I start from season 3? Blame it on the hubby. (LOL) Anyways, I think I had caught the Roswell bug because I am so in love with the story and the characters as well. The story is based on the books Roswell High, I saw those pocketbooks at a library Once in the young adult section. I was searching for Roswell vs. Twilight articles around the net and surprisingly, there were a lot of them. I found 2 that I liked, Check them out HERE and HERE. When I started watching Season 1 I couldn't help but notice the similarities, like the lab scene, How they seem like outcasts, quiet, handsome, beautiful, savior, etc. I'm not going to elaborate the similarities anymore, Plus they are entirely different and I love both shows. If you had watched Roswell, you'll know what I mean. If you haven't watched it please do so, It's like falling in love all over again. I'm a huge twilight fan and now I'm a huge Roswell fan, too. I can't help but fall in love with the characters Max and Liz, Jason Behr and Shiri Appleby just fit their characters so well, I am soooo loving it! I just wished there were more. So sad they had to cancel it.(sigh) Would it be great if they brought it back with the original characters? I'm pretty sure it would be a hit. Everybody loves a good love story...

seeing doubles

Me and the hubs are into watching The CW's The vampire diaries. We are lovin' it! I don't care what you say. What caught my eye is this one scene that resembles so much like Edward Cullen who was wearing a light blue shirt in the movie Twilight. really funny! I couldn't help myself to take a snapshot while I was watching one of the episodes. Please excuse me... LOL

New moon

I finally saw New moon last night, after the long anticipated wait - I finally saw it!!! what can I say? I love the movie!! and I am not going to talk about spoilers here. If you haven't watched the movie yet, please do so ASAP. The only different thing about New moon is the color of the settings, It's missing that bluish lighting back in the first movie. But just like what Ms. Stephenie Meyer said on her website, every director has their own way of showing their own version and so are people when they begin reading the books. I can't believe New moon is now showing, can you believe it?? and according to the Eclipse movie website Eclipse has wrapped up filming!!! OMG, and They'll be showing it around JUNE. how about that?(hyperventilating) relax. It's just 7 months away. breathe.

I am so impressed by Taylor Lautner's new buff bod. He did a great job to make sure that he'll be retained in the next movie. I was glad he still made the part, he's really suited for Jacob Black's character. :) patience, faith and reward like what they always say.

I can't wait for ECLIPSE!!!

geeky and cute ... JASPER HALE

WHO WOULD HAVE KNOWN?? this cute and geeky kid from DISNEY 411 will be one of the hot vampires of Twilight? I so remember these interviews back then of Jackson Rathbone, well I only knew him as Jackson of course, and I never knew it was him! he looks way mature now, that's the reason we all didn't notice that he started out as a reporter for Disney 411.

he's my fave vampire next to Edward Cullen (lol).

a scent with bite

Okay, it's been a month or so after I've read the whole Twilight saga and I am proud to say that my obsessiveness towards it had gone down (thank God), it's really funny how you can call it the twilight fever :P so anyways, I came across a twilight inspired perfume at ET online. It looks lovely :) but I wonder if it smells nice though?



anyhoo, back to the movie and the book. I was searching for blogs who hated Twilight and I came across a lot, of course. They listed a lot of flaws that was in the movie and in the book (not surprised) there will always be flaws no matter what. and there will always be haters no matter what. I wanted to get rid of my obsessiveness to the book as well as the movie (I'll still buy the dvd though) I tried finding negative comments about it and it actually worked a lil bit, When I bought the DVD of Shia Labeouf's Eagle Eye my mind completely forgot Twilight for a few days. I'm proud to say I'm done with it. although I know when the next movie comes out I'll be sure as heck to be over ga-ga with it. depends though on how they make it. I'm a kid at heart and I love cheesy romantic movies, so sue me! I just like the feeling of falling in love, you know...

before I hit the sack I'd like to extend my greetings and my heartwarming thank you's to all the friends who never gets tired of reading my posts, you may not leave a tag or comment but base on mybloglog, I will know the people who dropped by for sure. I know inspite of my lack of presence in this blog world, I know my friends are still there. I'm kinda getting tired of blogging, too. sad, I know. I am thinking of quitting... but with the little extra bread coming in, I can't really give up now.

I guess I'm just tired. exhausted. burned. I am soooo out of shape, I need exercise. I need to get away from the net as much as possible, focus on myself for once. but before I do that - I need to revamp the site first, so I promise myself on my days off I need to focus on fixing some things around the site like delete broken links, give it a facial lift, the list goes on. organize my scrap gallery as well, I want to make a photobook that contains all my scrap LO's. It's now 1:12 am here and I need to get some sleep coz I have to get up at 7:30 am for work. goodnight to all!

twilight fever

Helloooooooo!!! I'm baaaaack!! well, I actually got back online like a few days ago when I finally finished the 4th book from the Twilight Saga, Breaking dawn. damn, it was such a great story! (let me blab about it again, please...) I cried and I laughed, boy... if you haven't read it yet, I suggest you do... I promise, it's quite addicting. Once you start there's no way of stopping (look at me).

I actually took a break online, concentrated reading the whole saga. I also saw the movie, it was good.. but it wasn't that really impressive (sorry) I wanted to see so much more, but what can we do? it's only an adaptation, so all in all I still loved it. I prepared myself when I was about to see the film, no high expectations inside, I think I was only drawn to it by the characters' chemistry (lol) I just love Rob and Kristen so much as playing Edward and Bella. You fall in love with the characters so easily and in such a short time when you are done reading it, It sure was painful letting go. I think this is a record for me, reading 4 books in 2 weeks, I don't do that. when I read a book it takes me at least weeks coz I read it when I have time. but boy, for the whole saga, after doing my chores and my mommy duties I was always buried inside my book and my laptop reading in bed. hubby knows I'm addicted. It's like my own personal heroin (lol). yes. I still have the twilight fever and I hope it will pass on soon. Anyways, my hubbykins is always there to give me that crooked smile, heheee...

And I have great news, too! I finally met Winnie! she was currently waiting in line, and I was counting money at the time when all of a sudden somehow my head moved to the side to see outside the window, I couldn't believe my eyes-- is that WINNIE? I thought. I waved at her and she also waved back! I hurriedly excused myself out of the cash cage, I went to greet her, gave her a hug and said our hello's heheee. it was an awkward moment, lots of people in line, I also met her lovely and cute daughter, Winter. It was nice meeting her, it was my first time to meet a blogger in person. I just wished at that moment that we could have some time eat lunch or something, but there wasn't any time at all. bummer. That's ok, maybe next time! I am pretty sure we can still see each other again since she shop from where I work, she saw me first before I even got to see her (lol). I told her that I was really a big girl in person, and she was quite the petite size herself, ang cute nya hehee. sayang, walang picture noh, Winnie? sayang...

I hope someday I can still get to meet a lot of you. It's 3 am right now, I gotta catch some zzz, we're also preparing for my in-laws, they'll be arriving within a week and we're so excited to see them again. Will bloghop tomorrow (I know, I know, sue me) my apologies to all those who kept in touch always eventhough I wasn't active online, you know who you guys are....

Anyways, I didn't receive my twitter gift from my mommy yet! I am soooo excited! weeeee and lastly, I wanna say thank you to sis Lhyz for surprising me with a cute Hello Kitty golden round jewelry container (whatever you call it), maraming salamat sis, ang cute cute nya post ko na lang pics sa susunod... dami ko na utang sayo, nahihiya na ako sayo heheee

Ok, goodnight y'all!

crazy for twilight

The title says it all. I just bought the book Twilight around Nov. 20th before the premier of the movie and eversince I started reading it, I got so hooked my nose was completely glued to it when I had the chance. Well, last night (hahaaa) I slept almost 5 am, my husband was awake the entire time coz he couldn't sleep at all and he saw me still reading in bed, he just shook his head and kept on telling me to get some sleep. I fell so madly in love with the story, the way they pictured Edward was really something else, a dangerous yet beautiful "adonis-like" vampire with eyes that can dazzle you when he spoke. golly! When I read a book I just fall inside my own lil world and picture the actors who are gonna play the parts in the book. but since The motion picture was out anyway the selected cast was already inside my head, every scene in the chapter just made me want to see the movie so bad to see how it is. A lot of critics gave the movie a bad review, and a lot of people expected the movie to be a lot like the book, but hey-that can't ever happen, it's only based on the book. :)

so anyways, up to now I am sooooo deeply in love with the story, I heard most of my co-workers went to see it yesterday (boo me) and they told me I had to go and see it for myself since it was such a spectacular movie! I am so jealous. It's really funny how some of the fans of Rob Pattinson were angry coz they only wanted him to be Cedric Diggory and not the gorgeous vampiric Edward Cullen. I think they selected a great cast, they all look so attractive, so fit to be vampires =D especially Rob, they made a great choice by choosing him, and as for Bella, well she was great too I think the way she was portrayed in the book was kinda pale so she was right for the part. Everytime I hold the book it seems like I don't ever wanna stop, you know the feeling, right? Oh, I can't wait to finish the book before I see the movie. I am also planning to buy the whole Twilight saga, darn you Edward Cullen, you're the one keeping me busy away from the Net!

hahaa, anyways I had such a tough week, I closed all night at work, so hectic... that explains why I am not twitting constantly. my day off would be Thanksgiving day and the day after which means... I can go shopping!! weeee! and for my dear friends and visitors, I miss you all sorry I can't visit your blogs yet, a working mommy is so hard, wish I could be Wonder woman anyday. ciao peeps!
