Book: Looking for Alaska

"It always shocked me when I realized that I wasn't the only person in the world who thought and felt such strange and awful things."

The whole book is probably made of quotable quotes and when I buy my own copy, I'd basically highlight all of my fave. But the one above caught my attention and I absolutely loved this John Green masterpiece. I've read An Abundance of Katherines and The Fault in our Stars but I can say Looking for Alaska is my favorite. It was the most "real," I guess. And  the kind of books that make you feel a lot of feelings and think a million of thoughts are definitely those worth reading and gushing on. And this is definitely one of them. Totally a must-read! My second favorite book!

(Okay, I'll give you my current Top Five!)

Top Five Favorite Books (that gives you so much feels)
1. The Sky is Everywhere
2. Looking for Alaska
3. Eleanor and Park
4. The Fault in our Stars
5. The Lovely Bones

Movie: Celeste and Jesse Forever

One of the few things I absolutely adore in this world is a really good chick flick, no matter how bad it would break your heart. Like 500 Days of Summer or Something Borrowed, Celeste and Jesse Forever is another movie that would make you hate Cupid than squirm with "kilig." I won't go spoiling the movie but it just breaks my heart how perfect together and in-love the two were, but in the end, it just wasn't meant to be after all. I just hate that. I know I'm a big sucker for happy-ever-afters, but it's just so right to end like that. Not too fairytale-ish though, those are just too phony. But anyway, I can't stand miserable love stories. I already have one to mind (or rather, a lack of) and I don't need another one on screen.

Lol, anyway, this is a great movie though. It's not predictable and the most adorable guy ever, Andy Samberg, stars in it!

Lost at Sea

I’m lost at sea,
Come and find me.
I’m drifting away,
As the waves race to the shore.

I think they are lucky,
For they know where to go.
In this vast ocean,
They are not lost at all.

I want to know how,
To find myself in this chaos,
This little thing we call life,
The quintessence of the lost.

Lost things, lost memories, lost people.
Where do they all go?
Is there a black hole of emptiness,
Waiting to be filled as the lost find their way?

The lost finding their way,
The irony of such thing,
Their way to an empty hole of sorrow,
To an isolation of despair.

Are you found then,
Coming to this sanctuary for the lost,
Or are you still lost nonetheless,
In this sea of shallow emptiness?

Another ironic thing to say,
Drowning in shallow waters,
Unable to swim, unable to sway,
Unable to find your way back.

I’m still lost at sea,
Unable to find my own self.
S.O.S., I draw on the sand
I need help finding me,
Save me from this chaos,
Take me away from my own hollowness.

Hello there, Summer...class.

So, I haven't seen my blog since forever, and I'm sorry, because things have been too much lately. School is so stressful with all that was going on and then my free time away from those freaking stuff, I'm torn between spending it for my family or my Sanlahi lovies. I suck in time management, really. Anywho, I'm off to LB once again tomorrow for summer class. To think that summer has just started, school is starting again. I'm not complaining though. I actually am excited for this. You can't blame me coz next semester would start in August. Major bummer. Around three months of boredom waiting for us. Haaa.

I can't believe it has been three months already since my last post. It feels like a year! A lot had happened. Seriously, no exaggeration there. I can't even fathom all that had occurred, let alone think of where to start story-telling. Hehe. But in short, I've never been happier in my college life. But alongside that, my life has never been that interesting as well.

I promise to blog more! I need practice with my writing since my subject this semester is Eng10. Goodluck to moi!
