Pain like the sun

“You said my sadness was like the sun, beautiful from a distance but it hurt you too much to come closer.”— Lang Leav

        This line from Lang Leav really hits me here *points to my sternum*. I can feel that my sadness hurts him. He tries to sympathize with me but he can’t find the right words to say or he doesn’t know how to comfort me when I’m sitting beside him, broken and unable to coherently explain myself. This frustrates him and sometimes results to us fighting because we can’t connect. I can’t explain to him in a way that he can understand with regards to my needs when I feel broken. During the times when I feel like letting all the negativity wash over me instead of fighting it off with a brave smile... We end up more hurt than before with no one being satisfied with the situation and aching at the same time to make it better.. Only... we don’t know how exactly to go about it. This is probably an accumulation of all the bad stuff that’s been happening and how we can’t seem to comfort each other properly. I hope this is just a phase and better days are coming...

Wish: Go to book signing events and have one (or some!) of my book/s signed by the author/s

     I’ve always loved reading books because it’s the cheapest ticket to anywhere; real places or veiled mists of fantasy! It’s also a way for me to relax and de-stress. Whenever I get really pissed, reading a book calms me down. It evokes different shades of positive and negative emotion in me which feels really good. It’s a safe place to experience the heartbreaks, breakthroughs, triumphs and bumps of people’s lives just by reading about them.

     I have great respect for authors of books that tell stories in a way that takes you to a faraway place or actually makes you feel like you’re the heroine of the story. You’re the one battling those insanely evil and powerful enemies. When I read the Throne of Glass series, I actually felt like the Fire-breathing Bitch Queen who threatened and cornered the Fae Queen Maeve. I felt as awesome as Aelin while reading her encounters and character development in the story. Makes me wish I also have my very own Rowan! *Cough *cough

     So as a bookworm, having my books signed by the author I so respected and admired is a dream come true! I can finally say that, “You’re real! Someone as amazing as you is real! And I have proof of your existence! You’ve been here!” or similar fan girl thoughts. I really sound geeky right now but I can’t help it. I consider books as treasure. So anybody out there who doesn’t know what to give me, just get me a book. It’s a sure-win gift that would greatly please me. ;)

P.S. I highly recommend the Throne of Glass series especially those who like fantasy novels such as Eragon.

New Year 2016, new adventures!

Happy New Year from us! :*

Grumpy companion. Humf! >.<

     You’re improving in your gift-giving skills! You know what I want and delivered! Yey! Thank you for the cutie patootie hello kitty tag-along and the blue customized bookmark! “I know you love to read so here,” you said as you handed me the bookmark shyly. I will forever keep this bookmark and always think of you when I read! :3 :*

      I’m encouraged to buy more books! Soon! When I have the budget for it, I will buy paperbacks.

      Nothing beats the feel of the pages, the spine and the smell of books! The caress of turning pages cannot compare to ebooks although I admit ebooks are very handy especially if I have to wait for the traffic to ease. But when I’m leisurely reading at home then I really want the real thing.

Been really busy lately with work and events and practices and deadlines! We barely had time for each other. :( I do hope we'll have another adventure soon. I miss being carefree.
