The Curse of The Absentee

Hey guys, this is totally random, but everytime my parents - especially my mom - went abroad or is "ABSENT" and I have to take care of the stores, there seems to be a stream of curses heading my way.

It started since 2008, when they left for a vacation, my brother and I were in charge of the stores. So, that was the first time ever I - well, partly - was given the responsibility to run the stores temporarily and I was about ten years old then. So, things went smoothly enough... until night descended on us..... and... BAM!! BLACKOUT!!

Well, since we didn't have a generator, we just assumed that it was a mere inconvenience. But, you know luck is a capricious bitch (as said by Gin)... and she decided to show us some of her most charming side. Her educating side... Blechh..

So, what started as a puny disturbance turned into a full blown freak out when - to our surprise... haha..  seriously - the electricity didn't came while others were blessed by its ubiquitous presence. The bottom line was there was something wrong with the wires - I forgot whether there was a short circuit or something. So we could not access electricity. Haha... That was so funny, luck, cause we need to cook, shower, drink, and do everything using electricity. Ahh!! Seriously!! As I was in the state of semi-consciousness (it was midnight), my brain didn't truly registered that we were in a f*cked-up situation. It might seem so irrevocably simple the solution was for some of you... but hey!! We were young. So, the situation was handled somehow by my brother and my cousin. I was just there, although I didn't actually have to be the one who did the decision-making, but mind you I feel the pressure.

Okay, so that was the first time.. Awesome, right? There were probably a few times the curse struck after that but, I didn't recall it. Meh!! Maybe it was not that significant, I guess, or maybe I wasn't the one who was in charge. There was one when my brother was the temporary boss, he managed to lose a sum of money which disappeared, maybe?? Haha.. I don't know. There was another that happened this year on my watch. I haven't even kicked start the day, when our car crashed onto a marine(?) officer's motorcycle on our way to drop my mother off to the airport. I mean that was one heck of an opening show!!

So last week I got another shift at being a boss. The curse showed up uninvited again. This time it was all messed up in the ingredients part. But at least it was not a big catastrophic problem. Phewww!!

That's why I posted this today, to not jinx The Curse of The Absentee!! Haha..  Okay that's it.. Wow! This is the first time I wrote such a long post.. Awesome! Bye, guys! :)

Waiting on Wednesday (1)

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Jill at Breaking The Spine. It spotlights the eagerly-awaited upcoming releases. This week's book is Allegiant by Veronica Roth. It will be released on October 22nd 2013 by Katherine Tegen Books.


Goodreads Synopsis :

One choice will define you.

What if your whole world was a lie?
What if a single revelation—like a single choice—changed everything?
What if love and loyalty made you do things you never expected?


The faction-based society that Tris Prior once believed in is shattered—fractured by violence and power struggles and scarred by loss and betrayal. So when offered a chance to explore the world past the limits she’s known, Tris is ready. Perhaps beyond the fence, she and Tobias will find a simple new life together, free from complicated lies, tangled loyalties, and painful memories.

But Tris’s new reality is even more alarming than the one she left behind. Old discoveries are quickly rendered meaningless. Explosive new truths change the hearts of those she loves. And once again, Tris must battle to comprehend the complexities of human nature—and of herself—while facing impossible choices about courage, allegiance, sacrifice, and love.

Told from a riveting dual perspective, Allegiant, by #1 New York Times best-selling author Veronica Roth, brings the Divergent series to a powerful conclusion while revealing the secrets of the dystopian world that has captivated millions of readers in Divergent and Insurgent.

Midnight Frost by Jennifer Estep

Hey guys! I know it has been a while, but I have come back with a vengeance! Haha.. just kidding. I've been busy writing a narrativeand definitely procrastinating for a deadline last week. I have finally finished it. Yes!! Victory is sweet. A gruelling 13-page story hand written by me. I know it couldn't be compared with authors producing hundreds and hundreds of pages. But, I'm just that lame.. So, whatever...


Goodreads Synopsis :

Here we go again …

Just when it seems life at Mythos Academy can’t get any more dangerous, the Reapers of Chaos manage to prove me wrong. It was just a typical night at the Library of Antiquities — until a Reaper tried to poison me. The good news is I’m still alive and kicking. The bad news is the Reaper poisoned someone else instead.

As Nike’s Champion, everyone expects me to lead the charge against the Reapers, even though I’m still hurting over what happened with Spartan warrior Logan Quinn. I’ve got to get my hands on the antidote fast — otherwise, an innocent person will die. But the only known cure is hidden in some creepy ruins — and the Reapers are sure to be waiting for me there …


Here's what I think :

Crimson Frost left me hanging there just heartbroken for Gwen. Because how could Logan did what he did. I know the whole "I'm afraid I'm gonna hurt Gwen again" thing is supposed to be sweet and all. But, seriously just seriously...

Okay, so basically I was dying to know whether Gwen and Logan were going to reconcile. So, I'm just gonna leave it hanging there. I'm not gonna be a spoiler. But I guess it was... predictable. I know, I'm kind of disappointed to say that this time the story was predictable. Really predictable. So, I was just so... so... I'm sorry to say this — bored. It was like there was no surprises that left my heart beat a little faster and my mind spun a little wilder. I didn't make me say OMG and all that. (sigh)

I don't know if it's just me, but I think that Mythos suddenly became so PG-13. I mean there was no gory real details about the murder and killings. It just seemed super innocent. I don't know maybe Gin's growing on me with all her frankness in killings and badassness.

I guess if you've already read the series before, you should definitely continue. But, it has been disappointingly predictable.

Bye guys! :)
