ETCETERA

Hello you guise! Here's a not-so-quick update.

I finished reading Hunger Games(which I borrowed from the school library mainly for my sister to read, but eventually I read it too. Actually, I was shocked when I first saw the book there, I mean I was like, "WHAT THEY HAVE YA HERE?!") a few days ago and and at the last pages(when they were gonna be crowned victors--KatnissxPeeta, my eyes rolled, my eyes narrowed, my brows furrowed, and I threw the book(I was in the bed reading, so it wasn't damaged, and btw that was the first time I ever did that). Well, mixed emotions, I guess. I mean, I get it. Katniss needed to act all sweet but I thought it was over-the-top sweet. All that's missing are ants. Too sweet, in fact, I cringed, honestly. And Gale! Oh, how my heart breaks for him. It's depressing, he was, like, only in the first part of the book, excluding Katniss's memories of and with him. But I also felt somehow sorry for Peeta, I mean... unrequited love. And Peeta's dad(he wanted to marry Katniss's mom)! Oh well. And as for Rues, how sad! And Glimmer too. I felt sad for her death. Maybe because her beauty was wasted, etc. Hahaha. Shallow, I know. Hmm. Thresh's death was sad too. As for Cato, if Katniss will just shoot him at the end, why did she not do it before the muttations tortured Cato more? That's why I rated it 4 stars on Goodreads, because I sort of became angry at the last part.

I need to borrow Catching Fire! I knew HG ever since late 2009, but I didn't really pay much attention to it because I judge a book by its cover and when I saw Hush, Hush and HG at a bookstore back then, I liked Hush, Hush more. No regrets, though. But now it feels I'm the last one to jump in the bandwagon. When people started to read HG in school, I was like, "oh I know that book but I don't want to read it because I already know Mockingjay's ending/epilogue". It was true, I read a blog post from Alexandra Bracken's website. She's the author of Brightly Woven(side comment: first book I bought online, Amazon, to be exact. BW will always hold a special place in my heart. The book was amazing, btw, so no regrets.. oh wait there was a tiny bit when I clicked the 4-day shipping. I didn't click the 'Place Order' or something like that but 4 days later the book arrived and I was like "WTFHOWDIDTHISHAPPENIDIDNOTCLICKTHATBUTTON!!!" and I needed to wait a few days after to read it because at first I told my mom to just return it to the post office blah blah and just buy again but not the 4-day shipping anymore since it cost $40+ which sucked big time and suddenly returning it felt too complicated so we sticked with it).

Btw, I was made temporary treasurer for 2 weeks in class. I need to ask money from each student in my class for our mission month(to be donated to unfortunate people, I think). Oh life. My teachers replaced our current class officers for new ones and when she said names to who will replace whom, the chosen ones(lol sounds like HP) were like "WHAT?!" plus an :O expression. When I was called I became shocked and laughed. Not a fake one. Being a treasurer is srs bsns, thus the tag :)

Plus points for the red hair. I wish I had red hair. Oh well. 1:25 was cool.. the flowers moving in a wave effect. I had this song since 9/21, modesty aside. Hohoho. I think the video's amazing. It's a breath of fresh air from her usual videos(surprisingly there were no guy/s included in the video, probably because she's the "only girl in the world".. pun included? yes?).

I LOVE Y U NO GUY

Haha. So I submitted a Y U NO GUY meme, and at the moment I was really racking my brain to think of a good one. So I came up with an idea that I concluded would be the one I'm gonna make, then I submitted it.

When I went on Tumblr(it's on Awesome Sites Village, jsyk) I got about 10 new followers, and I was like baby, baby, oh! LOL WAIT WHAT? Because yesterday I got 4 new followers.

It's somehowa big between-big-and-not-a-big-deal for me because--why it's a big deal--I got less than a hundred followers to think I've been on Tumblr since December 2008(though in my defense I was kind of not active for a loong time because I didn't find it interesting that time and I wasn't able to discover great blogs back then)... and,why it's not--I didn't make a Tumblr to gain followers(that didn't sound right hahaha get it?) but on the other hand I didn't know there was that followers thingy back then. Hehe.

But still, you know.. I mean, it's nice to know people actually like what you post/reblog to follow you and if you have more followers, you can ask questions(text post) and people will actually answer you.

This is, btw, the only time my submission was EVER accepted(in all the times I submitted to 2 fuckyeah blogs, namely fuckyeahladyaga and fuckyeahmgmt, and one for quote-book). Also, it was my first time to submit in fuckyeah-y-u-no-guy-.tumblr.com. Oh, before I forget, the post is in here. I had to Google in the keyword 'the only exception' and I had to copy the exact colors of Hayley's hair and jacket. And make-up was easy. Obviously I exerted effort but it was really fun--and gratifying, especially it has over 800 notes. And to think my first submission that was ever(for emphasis, dears) accepted got many notes(first time to use an understatement ever in a blog post. Ever). I was about to type "This is my second post to receive more notes than the norm" but I thought that it technically isn't because, well, it's a submission. I'm not the one who posted it, but I made it, so does that count? No? Yes? Hmmmm I think no. Whatever. Click this to see my only post that has receive many notes(than the usual of course).

Oh and then let's continue my story. So because I'm a freakin' Sherlock Holmes(not really) I traced its footsteps and stumbled upon the root of all... evil?..no..those new followers? Yes, yes. It was worth it. You know, my Photoshop skills are like an instrument you stopped playing . You do not always use it, but you know it's there, and you still know how to use it. OMG am I a philosopher now? Am I? Am I? Haha.

Okay. Sorry if I irritated you.

OKAY GUYS LETS PRETEND I AM A CASTING DIRECTOR(IS THAT WHAT IT'S CALLED?)

Haha. What a coincidence! Well, actually no, erase that--I decided recently I don't believe in coincidences(hey, come to think of it.. everything happens for a reason). I'll tel you why: I asked the author of Infinite Days, Ms. Rebecca Maizel, what the colors of Lenah and Justin's hair were(via Twitter) and that was Sept. 6... or 7, not sure. Then I just found out recently she's having a contest--you just have to cast Infinite Days! Huh, how awesome is that? I mean, look/search/read this post. It's about the books I wanna be turned into movies(yes, Infinite Days included!) and the people whom I wanna be the main character/s.

Seriously. Things do happen for a reason; I asked the author that question, the color of Lenah and Justin's hair, because I was mentally casting actors! *giggles* But, in the mentioned post I haven't thought of anyone for Infinite Days. So now here's what I think...

For Rhode:

unknown age, could be 17, could be 25. Brunette almost black hair, the bluest eyes you've ever seen. Six foot or taller. At one time a knight with the Order of the Garter. Excellent swordsman, willing to die for Lenah.

Chris Pine

Oh yeah. Blue eyes and brunette hair are there. Actually what I had in mind was a breathtaking sapphire color sort of eyes, but I've yet to see a person with those color of eyes(actually, my birthstone is sapphire).

He's cute, right? Haha. I loved him in the Princess Diaries 2! (Though no one could beat Mia+that guy she kissed in the ending in Princess Diaries).

For Vicken:

Scottish bad boy. 19 was once a soldier, brown eyes incredible fighter, better with knives than swords. Leader of Lenah's coven. Strong jaw and lean. Not bulky.

Wait! I have two choices!

Josh Hartnett

I also have Justin Gaston in mind

(he's the guy in Taylor Swift's Love Story music video). Btw, it's hard to Google a decent picture of him a.) without Miley Cyrus beside him b.)not posing for an underwear ad, lol--oh wait I just found out he's an underwear model... hmm, that explains why.

My most hated character in the book is(yeah, up to now) Vicken. I didn't see what Lenah saw in him. Is it just me? haha.

For Justin:

Blonde, tall, adrenaline junkie. Strong features, slim nose, athlete body. Can be reckless and have trouble with authority. A go getter with a danger streak. He's handsome but that's obvious, he's also caring and passionate.

Lucas Till

He may not have exactly a slim nose, but I really like him for the part of Justin.

For Lenah:

16, brunette long hair that falls well past her chest. Blue eyes but nowhere as blue as Rhode's. 5'7 thin but not too waifish - meat on the bones. When she was a vampire she would easily have killed you. Excellent sword fighter. Afterall she learned from Rhode and Vicken. She is British and her vampire aura makes her mysterious.

I have also two choices here

the first one is Kaya Scodelario:

and the other one is Lily Collins(she could use blue contact lenses!!!!)

I think both of them are seriously pretty. And, Lily is a British/American actress, which is perfect because Lenah is British! To be fair, Kaya's dad is English, so it's all good :)

CAN WE PRETEND I AM A DIRECTOR?

It would be super awesome if someone(of course not just only one) would make movies based from these books:

Heh. I loved these books, as in.

Actually, I've mentally cast the following:

For Perfect Chemistry:

Jemma McKenzie-Brown as Brittany Ellis.

Alexander Rodriguez as Alejandro Fuentes(his nickname is Alex, see, they even have the same name--it's a perfect match!). He's the guy on the left.

For 13 to Life/Infinite Days:

Marcelle Baer and Bridgit Mendler could either be Jessie Gillmansen of 13 to Life or Lenah Beaudonte from Infinite Days. Uh, I originally thought Marcelle Baer as Jessie and Bridgit for... I actually forgot, hahaha. I think since Lenah's a vampire, and she lived years ago, Marcelle Baer would fit her, I think her face suits that character more. But, but, but... I think she also suits Jessie! Oh man. Well, Bridgit Mendler also suits Jessie. I want Marcelle Baer as Jessie since in 13 to Life there's only one guy linked with her but in Infinite Days, there were 2 guys whom Lena had loved and one whom she currently(in the present day)loves. If Marcelle Baer would be Lenah, I don't like the idea of herwith different guys because I'd like to see her only with Justin. Or Rhode.

...Ooookay so I guess it's Marcelle Baer as Jessie Gillmansen and I'll think of which character I'd cough*mentally*cough cast Bridgit Mendler.

I'll update this post as soon as I've found gorgeous people through the randomness of the Internet. ♥
