Save Me (Trilogy of Lines and Salvation)

Here's the first installment of my "Save Me" trilogy of poems. I decided to divide it into three to make the most out of the story I have in my mind. So, I posted the first one. Hope you enjoyed it, or else, it gave you that odd feeling. It's been flowing inside my brains for, like what? A month. And it's almost October. I just have this feeling that I need to explain myself with all of these. 

What is my inspiration in writing the poem?

Nothing. Seriously, nothing. My human emotions took over me for awhile and words came bugging me, I couldn't sleep. I needed to write. That's it. :) Oh geez, The River of Styx in the Underworld. I've been dreaming about Hades a lot lately. Perhaps, that's the reason why I wanted to do this. Hades, really? I want to be the Queen of that Realm. It doesn't seem so bad under at all. I am a fan of Myth, not just a fan. I often daydream of going there and meet Hades personally. Maybe, I should request Morpheus to escort me there sometimes. :)

Why did I even call this collection of poems, SAVE ME?

Those two words have an impact on me, I can't explain how. When they popped into my little brain, I have this strange sensation we only get when we're in emotions overload. Would you believe me if I say that I even want to compose a song out of those words? Damn, what's wrong with me?

What inspires me to create such lunacy?

I don't know, man! I just got smashed by words and ideas, I needed release. I can't help it!

When will I post the second part?

Probably tomorrow night or the next day. I still have something to do. Hmm, I need to freshen up and gear up for my certification at KBP. I passed my thesis defense alright. But that doesnt mean I should go out and start partying! OH, well. I just did. :)))

Do I plan on publishing my works?

Well, why not? Every writer wants that. So, enjoy my works while they are free. :)))

After interrogating myself, I want you all to wait until I make a file out of my so-so works. I promise I'll share it with you. They are for the broken hearted, for the unrequited love, puppy love, mediocre and whatever you call them. Just wait. Perhaps before the month ends. Comment your email below so I can deliver it via web. :)

Thank you,

A.

When Storm Taps You on Your Broken Window

I am having the same nightmare for a week. I constantly wake up in the middle of the night, at three in the morning to be exact, with my heart simply pounding against my chest. I have this strange feeling that it wants to come out and do a flip. But that won't happen. Even if I am alone. (Lightbulb!)

While creating this post in a lifetime (what?) Something's come up! I've searched for the definition of ALONE. Here's what I got.

a·lone
adjective (used predicatively)

1.separate, apart, or isolated from others: I want to be alone.

2.to the exclusion of all others or all else: One cannot live bybread alone.

3.unique; unequaled; unexcelled: He is alone among his peers indevotion to duty.

-----

The big question here is; Why am I even feeling this way?
In the particular matter, I am never alone. When I say "Never" , I mean never, as long as I feel like it. :) NEVER. that's it. :D



ENOUGH WITH THE FACT THAT I AM ALONE. SHOOT, I SAID NEVER.
Okay, gone are the days when night time is my peace. I must start my third draft. Then, talk to my agent. Hmm.. I'm warming up. Goodbye for now.

A Review on Halo by Alexandra Adornetto

To make this review a formal one, I should give the plot/summary of the book first. Though I don't do conventional reviews. I love things my way.

Three angels – Gabriel, the warrior; Ivy, the healer; and Bethany, the youngest and most human – are sent by Heaven to bring good to a world falling under the influence of darkness. They work hard to conceal their luminous glow, superhuman powers, and, most dangerous of all, their wings, all the while avoiding all human attachments.

Then Bethany meets Xavier Woods, and neither of them is able to resist the attraction between them. Gabriel and Ivy do everything in their power to intervene, but the bond between Xavier and Bethany seems too strong.

The angel’s mission is urgent, and dark forces are threatening. Will love ruin Bethany or save her?

--------------

I was reluctant in reading this book. Actually, I was kinda choosy picking this for my library. The verdict? Damn, I couldn't put it down. I love how Alexandra started the book. Okay, this contains spoilers so don't keep your hopes up! Hahaha.

It was August 21st when I decided to read this book. It was a national holiday here in the Philippines. I had nothing to do but linger, waiting for something worthwhile to come my way. Then, I was too bored I needed some gas. And I found "Halo" in my shelves. I had this thing on Angel novels, to be exact, paranormal urban fantasies. But when "The Immortal Series" by Alyson Noel came along, I dropped all my suspicions and reluctance toward the matter.

The Book and I

The book talked about religion and stuff. We all do believe in something, even the worst. Alexandra has a way in giving the readers goosies. Yeah, right. I liked how the first page of the book was written; I was undeniably caught up into a situation of reading and not doing my thesis. What did I do? Oh well, I read and read until the book left me craving for the sequel.

So the story began with the three angels-in-mission descended to Earth. Bethany (she prefers Beth) is the youngest angel of the three who's almost human. I love her character though she's even too girly for me to like. I don't understand why I feel so much for her. She's naive and innocent. I love the fact that she's an angel, a guardian angel I mean. Then came Xavier Woods. They say books are juvenile. They are excuse for  the dreams we never had. I guess Xavier Woods proved that theory. He's adorable, loving and "fictitious". Damn, why all the good ones have to be on the book? Xavier would be one of the long list of my fictional boyfriends.

Going back to the story, I love how the author mixed religion and values with romance and action. I was jumpy while reading the book. I couldn't keep my hands from turning pages. Duh, the chemistry between Xavier and Bethany is overflowing. That is understatement. Their chemistry? Oh gosh. I want my relationship to be that way. Not that I want to be an angel, I am a sinner. I don't qualify as a good person anyway. 

“That was one of the saddest things about people--their most important thoughts and feelings often went unspoken and barely understood.” 

Rainy days and Mondays....

ALWAYS GET ME DOWN.

Our thesis group has been dissolved. YEP, heard it right. But I am still graduating... hopefully. Do't get your hopes up dude!

And I drop by to tell you all that I feel nothing. Yeah, like nothing. To set my mood, I'm thinking of a not-so-lonesome song. But I end up searching for books. Found this. http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13253276-through-the-ever-night?a=5&origin=related_works It's the sequel to "Under the Never Sky" by Veronica Rossi. Actually, haven't read the book yet. So, think I'm gonna do it right now!

To The One Who Loved Me

APOLOGIES

You have loved me truly for so long

   and give me all the comfort that I thought I needed

You even tried to sing for me a song

   But I didn't know how much you cried and bled.

You were my confidant when I was in pain

   and always cared when I was too far away

You were with me under the rain

   though, I refused when you said, "Please stay".

Thousands of tears I shed because of my mediocre feeling

   I didn't realize that you were so bothered

You gave me the courage to face the world boldly again

   I never noticed; my burdens to you were pinpricks showered.

You begged me to give you opportunity

  But I didn't give you even a little chance

I told you, "NO" 'cause my heart still IS not ready

   but you still waited for me in glee.

Now I look back to how it all started

   To be someone special, something different, was what you wanted

I was so stupid, I really am, when it's reluctance that I chose

   I didn't realize that I have a dear friend to lose.

You showed me the world, things that I've been searching for

   I have loved you but not enough, nothing more

I didn't quite know if that was infatuation

   I'm so sorry, please forgive me, I have been a frustration.

Sunday Night and Lovin' It

I've been listening to this song while reading "What You Don't Know". It doesn't have any relation to the story but I love the rhythm and the vibe of this song. Not because it is Sarah's. Yeah, she's one of my favorite local artists. But hell, the song's good. Hope you enjoy this! :)))



You can sing along and be captivated!

 LOVE CAN'T LIE LYRICS

still recall the warmth of the night

try to ease the pain in my heart

and now that your out of my sight

tears fall from these eyes

echoes of my voice slowly die fears in every corner of my mind

and even if it's over 

still can't bear with time

how could you go?

how could you say goodbye?

it hurts inside cause by now

still can't find the reason why love can't lie

knowing that my life is so unkind

so leave my thoughts and mem'ries behind

but angels brought me to the past

i'm with you at last 

*in you i have found my life

you brought me to paradise

happiness that i can't hide

i feel inside 

still can't find the reason why it's hard to try with cryin' all the time

my fate is you

and somehow keep myself from lovin' you

love can't lie

HELLO SEPTEMBER!

And BER months are here. This is my first post for this month and I'm not really sure what to say. So, I've been shopping online with my amazon account when I saw something interesting. I should be doing my thesis at this very moment. But darn all this blog and stuff. I can't concentrate.

Here's the catch. I am supposed to be revising my work when books came flooding my library. Hm.. But one of them caught my attention (although all of them did, and do.) It is called "What You Don't Know", fanfic I found while browsing the net like a zombie. 

This is the link of the fanfic.  http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6540988/1/What-You-Dont-Know

When I read the plot, I was like, "What the hell?!" And I immediately downloaded the book to my list. At first, I was hesitant. I thought this would make me bore to my death. But so far, it doesn't. I am forty-eight percent reading the book and I a definitely enjoying it (especially the s*x part) HAHAHA. I am definitely rolling on the floor of my room laughing until there's no more breath left for me. Rapunzel's naivete puzzles me. No, scratch that. She and Eugene entertains me that I don't want to put down the book even if I have to.    I can't post a review right now since I haven't finished it yet.

I AM NOT RECOMMENDING IT TO CHILDREN OR O ANYONE WHO THINKS LIKE ONE. IT IS NOT A FAIRY TALE. 

The book contains themes and scenes not suitable for very young readers. Reading the material is highly prohibited. :) It reminds me of the Disney animated film "Tangled", which my friends had watched just a week ago. But I? Damn it, I've seen it like eons ago. I liked the film but this fanfic is really, i mean really really good. I swear. I'm not just a perv, dear me. Let's not go to that.

Ugh, i think it's time for me to make my thesis. I should be revising right now. What the hell am I doing?

 Just contact me if you like the to have a copy. :))))
