ღSeries Specialღ

(Part 2)

❧ Evernight Series by Claudia Gray
❧ My Rating : 4.0 Hearts (on the first three), 3.0 Hearts (on the last one)
❧ Date Read : August 2012
❧ Since it has been a long time since I've read this series, I'll be reviewing it as a whole. So these books were on paranormal-romance genre. Vampires plus wraith (ghost) plus the vampire hunters. There's also a plus on mystery, betrayal, family and a lot of revelations.

So if there's something that I would never forget about this book, if would be the writings of Gray. I remembered admiring the way she was able to make me (reader) part of the story.  The narration was really good from start to finish.

The nature of the characters was epic. Bianca, as a born vampire (not full yet), Lucas, as vampire hunter, and some involvement of wraith. Bianca turned out to become a wraith on the last book. And that really sucks. Imagine having a relation with a ghost. Not so good, right?? And Lucas had been turned to a vampire then back to being human. And that's another sucker. I think these things all happen on the last installment because that's where my rating dropped.

And about the ending, it was Annoying with the capital 'A'! While Lucas was turned back to being human, Bianca was stuck in being a wraith for like forever. That totally ruined my fantasies and my heart!

So the final book sucked. Through, the first three books were really good and lovable. I don't really know what's with the author's mind when she decided to give that kind of finale. Though, I must admit that it really did shake me up. Good book, totally recommending it..

(Part 1)

❧Twilight Saga by Stephenie Meyer
❧ My Rating : 5.0 Hearts
❧ Date Read : Year 2010
❧ Since it has been a long time since I've read this series, I'll be reviewing it as a whole. Well... we all know twilight right? It's either you loved it or hated it, and obviously I loved it. These books actually initiated me on reading foreign books.
Anyway, twilight saga is about a human girl (Bella) and a 'vegetarian' vampire (Edward) falling in love with each other, plus a werewolf (Jacob) as he has fallen in love with the human too. They underwent different dilemmas involving a group of vampire, Volturi and werewolves. Continuously saving Bella until they all had their happy endings.
First of all things that I loved with these books were the characters. I don't know if anyone would agree but I loved Alice more than any of the lead characters. The lead: Bella, Edward and Jacob. They were all too good to be true but I didn't realized that until now that I'd read a hundred books, like i had said this is my first series. Edward, I'd fallen in love with him automatically. He is 'beautiful' in a supernatural way (all the vampires here got a god-like appearance), old-fashioned( not to mention that he's 107 years old), can read minds (except Bella's) and all the other things you wish your boyfriend is. And here goes Bella, the 'fragile little human'; she's clumsy, pretty, stubborn and just the type to be linked with the supernaturals. And here's Jacob, the werewolf, he was supposed to be the alpha but chose to not take the position, he's the best friend of Bella though, not so content with that status. All of them were just too lovable for me.
Second, the story line. It's amazing (at 13), this kind of love triangle was all new to me during the time I've read it. The antagonist and the way they just want to get rid of Bella and the way they were all defeated especially on the last installment. The vampire - werewolf thing was also interesting to me. And how the Cullens' were all 'vegetarian' vampires - feed on animal blood instead of humans'. Though, it's entertaining how Bella threaten that status (laughs) .
Loved it all. I also happen to watch all of the movies. I collected some souvenir items too. And come to think of it, if I hadn't been so addicted with Twilight, this blog may not be existing just yet, so thanks to Meyer and her incredible writing^^

A pastor from the church I'm attending to once said that, we can make our vocation, our vacation if we just learn to love it and dedicate it to God...

Poems [#07] : Bow and Arrow

Bow and Arrow

Pain is the arrow buried in my heart,

Pain is how it felt when I saw you coming

With a bow and steady hands

While I kneel bleeding before your eyes.

Pain is the tight grip of memories,

Pain is the reality outside those memories

That no longer held your smiles and love

But your betrayal and hate instead.

Pain is receiving it from behind,

Pain is the absence of understanding,

Oh please, tell me why

For it's the reason it hurts the most.

Through the years that passed,

The pain never left,

The question never faded,

The answer still unheard.

But now you only belong in the past,

An unassembled puzzle covered in dust,

The one I could never bury

For I hold pieces of it in my palms.

Pieces I keep as a reminder,

A reminder never to trust too much,

A reminder of its consequences,

To keep me from repeating the same mistakes.

It's a shame, my shame

That you've had gotten my past

And still hold my future,

How can I steal it back, tell me.

They say, scars never fade

But what I have is a wound so fresh,

You see, I never let go of your arrow

I keep it here where you buried it.

Now, I remembered with wide eyes

The day I gave you that weapon

To protect or kill me

But you chose the latter.

Now, how am I suppose to trust?

When I can't even open my palms,

How am I suppose to let go?

When I'm too scared to trust again.

-Samantha A.
