Diary of An Immortal by KiusLady: The Review

Spoilers ahead if you don't read all thirty-seven chapters of the original fic! Read @ your own risk and for enjoyment, using kiuslady.deviantart.com.

First of all, it was good, but then, it feels like I've been connected to The Glass Castle like New York in the '80s, and then time flew by ridiculously fast and it's not what I'd expected it to be. It's not a fantasy-action/adventure type, but rather it should be an eFic classic where reality and fantasy combine. I believe my eFic is better when it comes to fantasy and it should be an action/adventure in the first for the 70s, but went potentially serious in Generation 2 for the 80s and finally, it came crashing down to reality in the 90s and 2000s. I don't believe the time in my fic is more further down in the past than hers, but this time, it reaches the ending point of January 22, 2010 (the day where the last chapter was posted), compared to June 12, 2009 of the timing of my fic. The start date is in late spring 1979, compared to Miyako's birthday - April 21, 1943. Mine lasted 66 years while hers is thirty years and eight months. That takes almost half of the overall time in both eFics - one is a fanfic and the other is of the original work, which lasted the whole entire generation or so - 30 years in a row. Did you get it?!

Anyways, this is very realistic, compared to Enchanted (2007) in which I pretty much love it. But the rejuvenation every 30 or so years, it was like the rehash of the flower healing sequence from Tangled in my mental picture, except a bit more brighter. I think the main character in the story who was still physically in the early twenties, but chronologically supposed to be into her sixties by now after one time from magical fountain of youth kinda reminds me of Mia from the film adaptation of If I Stay from last year. Her older brother Gavin reminds me of D. Stecks, but his wife Diana and children Lucy and Emily, I somewhat connected the difference to the main character's son and fiancé from Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet, in which things went intolerated at first, but it changed overtime. About Torahalar, he used to be her lover, but now he's treated like son, like mother in the end cliché (as in a somewhat ripoff of Miyako and Haruki at the end of Tales of the Fame of Yesterday). I don't know how old were the parents, but believe me, in the year where the 9/11 attacks happened, the father had a heart attack, two years later, my grandmother died, another two years later, he died, the next two years went, his wife passed on. Another two years later, all of my three grandfathers died and the very next year, my stepuncle died over a month after the story ends.

So... this story is good. It wasn't great as I thought it is by the hype, it wasn't bad thus remembering too much of the trope I made up called "Things Have Changed Too Quickly" on about the other half when reality faces the protagonist, compared to Prep in the end, right after Prize Day '93. I should use the "Things Have Changed Too Quickly" trope for the beginning of Generation 3 of my legacy challenge fanfic once we go back to Earth after 19 years of being in a fantasy land. I would highly recommend Imaginary-Alchemist watchers for deviantART based on certain tastes, but including Imaginary-Alchemist (the one I subscribe for MIL webcomic) and Sanna2011. Thank you for reading January's eFic of the Month review, I will be doing February's The Silence Before by Ray Underscore Thompson of The Retributionists.

Looks Like We Have More Time to Do Review Things

One thing that happened in the Star Wars franchise is Episode 8 has been postponed to December 15, 2017 and that there's nothing to do with the original cast or something, but we'll never know for sure as well as anything goes.

By spring, Apple is announcing the iPhone7 to the public along with its wireless headphones and it looks like we're bored of playing church while turning reality into theology. See, that's how we ran out of new ideas! But the good news is we might be open-minded to other cultures and gain new ideas to increase our productivity level. First come, first served, fingers crossed, if you would like to see more book reviews, movie reviews, TV Show reviews and screenplay/traditional play reviews! Don't forget eFic reviews! It happens once per month starting in January 2016 with Diary of An Immortal by KiusLady. Keep an eye out for my works, and I wish you the best of luck for patience, okay!

Independence is Kickin' In!

One of the things my independence starts kicking in is to learn how to be organized and do chores on a regular basis, which is too lazy and unhealthy for my personal productivity to handle, but I'll do the best I can, for as long as my first real paycheck has to wait and I'm getting bored of the lack of money in my household, thankfully, we already cut the cord last year, so we can save a little bit extra money to have my sister check her smartphone from Consumer Cellular, (as in reducing the cost of phone lines per month from $200 to $50 when my mom and sister got out of the Verizon credit phone store hypothesis,) and now, things went a bit more worse when something next is about to happen and I hope it's not any kind of cable, nor satellite. I need real stuff like TV Freeway, Clear-TV antenna and Free Digital TV antenna, so I can do whatever I want without worrying about ridiculous price hiking bills forever and it will change the way my children, grandchildren and descendants in the future can watch television, and so could you and your fate on newer generations to come. Yes, I'm already jealous of Xfinity and the next upcoming generation after us, millennials... let's say I'd rather teach them once they go to college by 2019, and I'm pretty much more than happy to enjoy the fun and excitement for the sake of what will become of a new early adulthood group full of lifelong learners. I'm not sure which subject major I'm teaching, but still, I was more interested in Arts and Humanities as a major, however, on the other hand, I have music, English and communications as a big part of life.

My favorite part of being independent is to visit the public library more often, so I could at least check out more books, study, pay fines (that's a huge big NO-NO on me, due to my very own business of being a Bellevue College student and I have not yet been fully paid until all the books are turned in late) and watch movies from the computer. I enjoyed the research, but the recent one I had is Groton. Did you know Groton is the IRL version of Ault, except the grades are one more than the one I read in Prep? That was eighth grade, perfect for running start in selected students. Ninth grade means more students are coming to meet up with a bit experienced ones. Tenth grade is the fourth form. Eleventh is the fifth form. Senior year means sixth form. Prize Day is graduation. Yeah, you know what I mean... the reunion happens one week before prize day. Each five years, the class visits for the reunion form until the 75th. I hope more people will be more than welcome to become verified supercentarainians and to break the record one day after Jeanne Calment because it's been almost eighteen and a half years, so why wait for the secrets of longevity.

So, I need to look for the job over the summer, but for now, I'm a full-time student. I will come back to the DVR in two years and three months to see how I've changed. Hopefully, I will be able to clean up every single day and I might get used to the childhood feeling of chores (as in boring), which I was used to being overweight before I have to be in good shape, just so to reduce the risk of anything that could cause certain death for some reason.

Thank you for reading and have a great MLK weekend! See you Tuesday.

How to Be in the Real World for Millenials

Have you attended IEP Senior English before? Did you know you have attended all of that technical stuff going on in your life waiting for creativity to happen in the end to come up with resolutions for next year? It would be a little ol' me, dealing with all of the growing up practice after I turn 18 and had the guardianship program taken care of by my parents. First things first - after you had all of your requirements for graduation taken care of, say you just have to start with the Job Skills Communications. That's a good thing for you to look up at the seven worst mistakes while on the job interview. Here they are*:

• bad posture
• bad handshake
• sweaty palms
• lack of eye contact
• fidgeting
• appear distracted or uninterested
• failing to smile

*Taken from 7 Worst Mistakes Job Seekers Make @ Business Insider on Yahoo!

You should be able to read this article to have a job in perfection. Also while in interview, you should:

• be able to have eye contact with a person
• think, do and act professional
• sit up straight
• feet flat
• have a nice, clean, neat, tidy resume in
• wear conversatively
• not have headphones
• think straight and ignore what you want on your company's building

For more information about everything wrong with the mistakes on the first half of the video and how you should do this on the other half of the video, go to The Enthusiasm Attitude under soft skills at www.dol.gov.

Keep in mind that you should be able to know that you're lazy, technologically competent, and need to face the real world. Think working hard as if you want food to survive and money to manage for personal finances. Be realistic!

See the Wait But Why post for more information of how your generation is like IRL.

The Coming of Age Had Passed and the General Age Decade Had Just Arrived

"Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined."

-Henry David Thoreau

Time went way faster than I thought it would, so this is the umpteenth post, but actually it is the 301st to be published. Happy belated milestone of 300 posts!

Did you know September 16 is the overused birth date, as well as January 1 is the overused death date? On the trend, either October 5 and 6 could be the next official birthday to be perfectly honest. My 20th birthday is coming up in one week and a half, so that means it's time to throw in the vacation spots during the decade of what could be the fate for the rest of my life.

Corpse Bride Movie Review

Speaking of gothic these days, when I was nine, the movie came out. My family was kinda picky about witchcraft and stuff back then, because they're Evangelicals. When I was a little girl, I was going to watch Halloweentown, and I always wanted to see it ever since, but my parents cut me off for the first few seconds in and I was turned-off. I grew up, knowing there's no such thing as magic. I think today, the Halloweentown saga was unwatchable once you graduated from high school. How unfortunate! I already read Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone once when I was in sixth grade. I never got to read the rest of the series, nor did I reread one again, but thankfully, in super senior year, I had decided to get what I exactly want, which is why I had come to read the whole entire story about My Immortal by Tara Gilesbie. I flippin' loved it too much to death I want Shadow and Ebony to get together like Link's Queen did it with Link and Jenna. Ebony is soo awesome, I wanted her to become the bride of the world's ULF and one day, I would look forward to see them have kids in my Generations LP to add to my AU story. Besides the couple I made up, I finally get to watch and review The Corpse Bride, thanks to Tara's favorite movies according to her fanfiction.net profile, using xxxbloodyrists666xxx. Here's the list:

corpse bride, mean gurlz, van helsing, any odder horror movie, nightmare b4 christmas, da ring, da ring 2, da grudg 2, saw2 and saw 3, da omen, scary movie 4, cursed, TWILITE, NEW MOON

At least she forgot Eclipse and the Breaking Dawn 2-Parter, the last update she had is on December 21, 2009. It was way back in eighth grade when she was last seen, before coming to deviantART for Mordred's Lullaby and more, all on her DeviantArt portfolio, using xxx666bloodyristsxxx. Tara is still there, she is alive and well, but man, she is so depressed for the love of Scheherazade! I'm not sure how she's going to make the next chapter of her current work in progress called Mordred's Lullaby, but still. Today, she took long breaks from each chapter because... procrastination and... CRAWLING IN MY SKIN!!!

You know why I was grunge back in junior high? Because I was attempted for heavy metal, but the results failed when it comes to classical rock of the '80s. That's why I'm such a poser I was. I became punk, and later on, I went from shy to bookworm to whatever I had right now - the nostalgia critic of the Northwest, the Link's Queen of the 2010s, a part of the Marrujo bunch, the blogger of the diary of life and death since 2013, blah, blah, blah, blah. TIME FOR THE CORPSE BRIDE!

So, in the beginning, Victor was about to marry his sweet Victoria when suddenly, during the rehearsal, he forgot the vows. He's awkward! He was kicked outside and went lost into the woods, while trying to remember the vows. At the ring part, he brought Emily back to life. Together, they went on the adventure, and things went spooky and creepier minute-by-minute, but I realized it's the love triangle I spotted on. Meanwhile, Victoria rather elopes Lord Barkus by force, but I remember it turns out to be rather an amazing adventurous masterpiece by Tim Burton when things turn out to where it was before, except for a few changes.

That sums up the plot line! Definitely a win-win! 5 out of 5 stars, and suitable for ages 9 and up.

#happy2016

There are so many things I need to complete by this new year, but the stress from my mind keeps waking me up on the inside and I'm sick of doing repetition throughout the good ol' days where I have to reminesence from my childhood and soon the hormonal days of teen life. I still had the teenaged angst on that gothic inner crush of the decade by far, so I really am nostalgic for aliens, guns and all the cool stuff he had ever since. I am the New Year's kid, but I'm a belated Xmas present. Did you know East Wildcat preps are soo cheesy, I really can't stand it?! The Ault preps are waaay past cool and a ZILLION times better, you can only find it in Prep by Curtis Sittenfeld.

On the good note, my school is having the 50th anniversary celebration this term, so I painted my nails gold and silver for the NYE celebration. To add the spirit, I did my designs all cobalt blue, so anyone will know I'm into the new beginnings when it comes to reading. Not only did I ditch the 21-day fast too early for just a few hours from the start, but also I just really want to get into the 8% who succeeded the New Year's Resolutions every single year. Anything besides my 100 Banned Books Challenge will do:

1. continue the fanfics I've started reading from the previous year
2. catch-up and deal with SKY REGAN already!
3. remember the rules and schedule plus assignments
4. finish writing Grey Petals, Freya and Where It All Began
5. know how to keep things up with a new me (the only change to have by the end of 2016 is my weight)
6. remember to read the Disney Legacy Challenges
7. get the latest updates from the Ink legacy (probably not happening because the writer's busy with medics or loss of interest? I dunno.)
8. finish the other half of MIL dramatic reading by shadhardblogger
9. Have fun reviewing the HSM movies and remember: be the "goffik" critic!

Be sure to not forget the lookout for new posts on the way in the new year! Have a great day.
