Wearing high-cut chuck's is major hassle :((

As of now, the stuff above are what's on my list. Not really expensive :)

I skipped classes again today. I'm in no mood for a recitation at my Law 2 class so I decided to drop by at the internet lab here at school since it's raining cats and dogs outside.

Normally I would rather spend my time reading at the Library but got lazy just thinking about the distance I would walk to get there (the college library is located at the last building, all the way back).



Uh-oh, I think the bell just rang. Gotta go :))

"Twilight" Pinoy Remake?

Ok so I was supposed to post this entry several days ago but due to some inconvenience I wasn't able to go online and bla bla bla.

Anyway, I learned about this news several hours before Christmas eve at the official blog of Twilight Coven Philippines.

According to them,it was stated on an ABS-CBN site that:

Filipino fans of Stephenie Meyer's "Twilight" series will soon have another reason to celebrate after broadcasting giant ABS-CBN bagged the exclusive rights to make a local television series based on the vampire novels. Initial reports said ABS-CBN paid $1 million with co-producer Ignite Media for the rights to the Twilight series. The new series, tentatively titled "Takipsilim", will reunite the onscreen tandem of Rayver Cruz and Shaina Magdayao. Taping for the series will start February of next year. Some parts of the series will be shot abroad and the other locations include Tagaytay, Bukidnon and Baguio. The series will be directed by Cathy Garcia-Molina.

Rayver as Edward? Gimme a break.

Sample nga ng Takipsilim:

YIKES!

PS: Happy news: There are speculations too that the remake is only a hoax:

"Twilight" Pinoy Remake is a Hoax?

But we can't rejoice yet as to the network hasn't released yet their official statement. What a very nice Christmas gift guys, way to go.

I feel inspired :]]

Paolo Coelho’s books really have a huge impact on me. They made me think more, explore more and made me realize how import and beautiful life is. I really admire his open-mindess about certain topics that are usually taboos to other people.

As of now, I’ve only read 3 of his best-selling novels and I can’t wait to read the rest.

The Alchemist. A personal favorite of mine. I’ve been hearing positive remarks about this book and I was dying to get a copy of it. Unfortunately I only got my personal copy several days ago thanks to my sister who provided me two PC novels (The Alchemist and 11 Minutes).

The book tells about the story of Santiago, a shepherd boy from Andalusia who had a dream about treasures and the Great Pyramids of Egypt. He went to follow his dream and met several people including a king, a gypsy, a merchant, an alchemist and the girl who stole his heart-Fatima.

This book is really inspiring especially to those who still have doubts about following and discovering their dreams and realizing that what they’re looking for are the ones standing at their doorsteps.

The Zahir. The first ever PC book that I’ve read. I borrowed a copy from Quennie and returned it after several months (I didn’t know why It took me so long to finish this amazing book). The description of this book is that it’s a novel of obsession.

The story revolves around the narrator, a bestselling novelist's search for his missing wife, Esther. He enjoys all the privileges that money and celebrity bring. He is suspected of foul play by the authorities and the press of having a role to play in the inexplicable disappearance of his wife from their Paris home.

Thereby, the protagonist is forced to re-examine his own life and marriage as well. The narrator is unable to figure out what led to Esther's disappearance. Was she abducted or had she abandoned their marriage? He comes across Mikhail, one of Esther's friends. The narrator with his help realizes that to find Esther, he must find his own self. Mikhail introduces him to a tribe who has unconventional ways of living. Through the narrator's journey from Paris to Kazakhstan, Coelho explores various meanings of love and life.

Another must-read. :]]

11 Minutes. I just finished reading this one a couple of hours ago, and yes, 'tis another good one. It tells about the story of Maria, a Brazilian girl, who was forced to sell herself in order to survive in a foreign country. She was a bit skeptical about love and doubt if she'll ever fall in love. Later, she met a painter who showed her what Love really is and accepted her for what she really is.

Another musttt-read :]]

So I suggest If you wanna feel inspired, you better read inspirational books like these or you can check PC sites:
