a quick update! I'm on my second week of internship at PAL now. Got a little more than 3 weeks left. I'm missing my summer! This is the worst vacay ever! I'd never expect to be doing some odd job during summer. Sure being a barista is a dream summer job for me but this? And I'm not even receiving allowances for the internship thing too! I feel that I'm getting lazier and lazier every day. LMAO.
But!
I've bought a new book today! XD Yey! Another David Levithan book! Wide Awake, it's called. :D I already have Boy Meets Boy, which btw, took me loooong to find on bookstores. And I've read Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist. Mind you, the book is much better than the movie, but then again, isn't it always?
I also bought a comic book called Zha Zha Zathurna. It's a philippine publication which is awesome! It's about a gay hairdresser who discovers a stone that, when he swallows he become a super hero. It's a parody of Darna, another philippine publication which is very popular - it's somewhat like Wonderwoman but she ain't no amazon woman.
As all would know, I'm a sucker for gay romance. So yeah. I'm really really excited aboout reading Wide Awake!!! :D
See you later, yeah? I'm being lazy on updating my blog! T.T
ETA: omg!! Percy Jackson and the Olympians' last book will be out in two hours!!! LOVES!!
The damn thing went haywire and my post suddenly disappeared.
I'm too lazy to even attempt to rewrite those things I wrote. Suffice to say, I'm trying to download some audio books hoping that I would finish listening to it.
I also found myself a copy, AT LAST, of David Levithan's Boy Meets Boy. I have yet to finish it, but I'll surely write a review once I have.
Lauren Weisberger had another novel coming after her spectacularly loved The Devil Wears Prada that became a movie sensation.
Well, at first I thought who was Harry Winston? And then when I read the back cover about the book, I was like 'So, is Harry Winston the guy who'll change the three BFFs forever?' In my mind I was imagining scenarios like cat fights and evil doing and backstabbing. So okay, I bought the book out of curiosity.
Remind me again to check the net about the reviews before I hit the shelves.
According to this review in EW.com the book is a bit disappointing.
So tell me why is it sold out in two of my local bookstores and I just grabbed the last copy of it from my friendly neighboring National Bookstore.
It really intrigued me.
Hopefully, that review wouldn't unmotivate me into finishing this book. Not that I need anymore unfinished books in my shelf. I have a pile of list, seen my reading list for this month?
So I'm back from my vacay! :) FunFunFun! Anyway, that's for another post! LMAO
I found this fanfiction downloader software while I was browsing thru one of the Harry Potter comms over at LJ and it was just PERFECT for my one week vacation! I was able to download like 5 stories in my PSP! So cool!
Check it out! :)
Because I procrastinate like it's a drug. [I should be studying now, considering that I have an exam tomorrow]
Summary: [by firefly]
Kaye Fierch has been playing with faeries that no one
else could see since she was young, but she hadn’t seen any since she
moved to Philadelphia with her mom when she was twelve. Now they’re
back staying with her grandmother, and back too are the fairies: not
only her childhood playmates, but also a dangerously beautiful faerie
knight named Roiben, who Kaye saves from an arrow during a rainy night.
And the faeries have a task for Kaye, who is not, as she’s always
thought, the weird human high-school drop-out, but is rather a
changeling, a pixie, living under a glamor for most of her life. For
the time has come for the sept-annual Tithe: the sacrifice of a single
human to bind the solitary Faerie Folk to the Unseelie Court, a kingdom
of dark power and darker amusements… and her childhood friends want
Kaye to be that sacrifice.
Review and to this and the other two books will follow

Okay, need I say more? anyway, I just got this book - which btw, I've been hunting down since last year but every freaking bookstore in town was out of stock of it. I'll say, i'm just in chapter two and I can't seem to stop myself from grinning and gushing over it. Lol! Okay, one check from my wish list, now i just have to hunt down the next two, hopefully with less effort. T.T
YaY!!

Summary: from AllReaders.com
Shopaholic Londoner Becky Bloomwood has moved to Manhattan where she is happily sharing a West Village apartment with her businessman boyfriend Luke. She also loves her new job as personal shopper at Barney's. Together with Luke, she returns to UK to attend her best friend Suzie's wedding but keeps quiet about her own dreams of one day getting married. In a surprise move, Luke proposes to her in front of all the wedding guests which number Becky's parents among them.
Overjoyed at this unexpected development, Becky's mother speedily begins planning a backyard wedding accompanied by all the overblown finery her middle-class tastes can dream up of. Always a connoisseur of fine stuff and with her tastes particularly sharpened by time spent in New York city, Becky inwardly shudders at this but keeps silent so as not to hurt her mother's feelings.
They return to New York where Luke's Manhattan socialite mother offers them an all-paid, much-in-demand glamorous wedding at the Plaza hotel. This is the sort of Cinderella-wedding that Becky had always hoped to have. So, despite her dislike of Luke's mom, Becky weakly accepts her offer. Now, unable to refuse either woman, Becky finds herself facing the prospect of having two weddings, on the same date, on different continents.
