Facebook is Open! (Stuff to Fill in the Blanks)

        Hey, I got my facebook page taken care of. I opened my account, so I love this type of social networking. I wished I could send a tweet to Twitter and post early reviews on the goodreads reviews of books I just read (classics for Dalmatian Press/Illustrated Classics do not count unless it's real and unabridged). I would like to rate books I just read in my life, and movies and shows I just watched when I was little, a kid and a teenager. I did a little bit for last night because I had never read some classics before and love to do so.
         I had read Goodnight Moon and some of the books illustrated by Eric Carle when I was little, it's for preschool for heaven's sake! Then came Madeliene, Berestein Bears, Curious George, Clifford, Junie B. Jones, Magic Treehouse, Babar, Apple Books, Boxcar Children, Courdroy, Cinnamon Bear, Dr. Seuss with The Cat in the Hat and One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish, and Maurice Sendak with Where the Wild Things Are, Rhymes of Counting and Months of the Year, and In the Night Kitchen (that's all because of elementary). My mom read Nancy Drew when she was a girl and my dad read Treasure Island, The Hobbit and more when he was a boy.
        As I grew in age (a tween), I enjoyed Sarah, Plain and Tall, The Time Machine, Charlotte's Web, Stuart Little, A Wrinkle in Time, Bridge to Terabithia, Twelve by Lauren Myracle and 2001: A Space Odyssey. As a teenager, I start to think "Hey! Writing is much important to my life." That happened when I was in ninth grade at Kamiakin Jr. High. One year later, when I started reading "Facing the Lions" I came up with the summary of per chapter. It's like a news report being written live from one perspective and I was like "What? Is that Reading Improv? Is this for real?" Literature is important that it's like the journey to what could lie ahead of all of those dreams, goals, resolutions and purposes. I read Eragon, Finding Miracles, Tale of Despereaux, Ellen Foster, The Jungle Book, King Arthur, Robin Hood, Oliver Twist, the Sterling edition of Grimm's Fairy Tales, quick version of Sherlock Holmes, A Lesson Before Dying, The Help, Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Ella Enchanted, and then... Dalmatian Press editions of classics came out to my mind. It's like 180 pages per book. It was like a quick read from the Dollar Tree and it cost that it does not count unless it was supposed to be real and unabridged. I had read Anne of Green Gables, Oliver Twist, Alice in Wonderland, Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm, Wizard of Oz and The Adventures of Tom Sawyer in this edition before. Junior year: I read If I Stay, Mad Science Institute, Monster by Walter Myers Dean, The Phantom of the Opera, Peter Pan, Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet, My Friend Natalie, A Christmas Carol, The Nutcracker, Little Women, School!, Stargirl, The Fault in Our Stars, The Outsiders, Merlin Part 1, The Chronicles of Narnia #1-2 and of course Maximum Ride #1-2. Over last summer, I read The Horse and His Boy, Uglies, The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants and Life of Pi. Then it took me three and a half months from mid-August to end of November to read Moby Dick. December came as I had read Treasure Island (a pass on from Dad). Christmas break hit as I have read I So Don't Do Mysteries (a combo of Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, Sherlock Holmes and a bit updated into Spring 2008) and the quick version of the mentioned recent Dalmatian Press edition of Tom Sawyer in 180 pages. First semester wraps up with The Princess and the Goblin (a pass on from Mom) and it was really good, though it takes way much time that I should've done it much, much earlier when I come back from church every single Sunday when I'm done with homework every Friday night. Last month: I read Maximum Ride #3 and now comes Where She Went followed by The Blind Side.
        In movies, I watched so much of Disney that I still believe in the original version of fairy tales (even though Frozen made me want to just think about the similarity of sisterhood and changes to my fanfic coming soon (it's about Elissa's family), it's loosely based on the fairy tale The Snow Queen). I watched Tarzan once when I was a little girl and I don't understand what exactly happened to the movie but to see all of the enthusia and magic of Disney. When I watched the opening to the movie on YouTube, I now understand clearly from what I've seen as a kid. Now, I need to read the original book (Tarzan of the Apes by Edgar Burrough) first from the local library along with Pinocchio by Carlo Collodi. I've already seen the 1951 version of Alice in Wonderland since I was little and it's been like a million times of all of that traumatizing childhood memories. The 1999 Hallmark version reminded me of two Alice books by Lewis Carroll. The 2010 Tim Burton version stick close to the original version of the two Alice books except the plot line is far more by family-friendliness for kids 10 and up and the dark tone is from the Victorian/Industrial Revolution era. I've seen The Chronicles of Narnia before I read them from the dark blue Barnes and Noble Edition. It was what I think of as a kid. I think that Undercover by Beth Kemphart is much better than Disney's Ice Princess (perhaps a million times the most by the best powered to the awesomeness of YA real-life being) and that Grease and its sequel is way past better than stinkin' High School Musical, but the Senior Year of HSM... no, just no (stick to my blog and the If I Stay 2-Parter). I love Kim Possible, just remember I really do love Sonic Underground (in the future, I'm planning on the crossover reboot for SU and Maximum Ride). I've seen PPG Movie, Shrek, blah blah blah... yeah, my dad had watched too much TV and he'd seen Percy Jackson and the Lightning Theif movie in which I hate with Simone and Lauren. I'm not joking you either - he loves Defiance in which I don't like (Get it on with Maximum Ride already! It's really 9,000 times the best.). Not only did technology affects my life, but it can be a bit annoying (get AdBlock now if you had a SmartTV, laptop, desktop computer, tablet and smartphone) when it comes to commercials.
        In shows, my first ever one was Blue's Clues. It's an interactive children's show that in case Blue stamps the blue "ALIVE" paw on three different objects, Steve did the task to find a clue and came up with the concept of all of the nauseatic basic, simple ideas you had recognized as a little kid. In 2002, when Steve left, Joe came along and did the same task up until the show's abrupt end. I've seen the show for ten years and yet it's been the first memory of my life for pop culture. As a kid, I've seen Powerpuff Girls, Rugrats, SpongeBob, Kim Possible and Dexter's Laboratory. Now, I've seen SpongeBob and he's one of my "imaginary" friends since 1999. I was addicted to good sense of humor.
        Now comes the long road ahead with my Facebook page to take it with me for my whole entire life. Thank you and good day. ;)

I'm a Quarter of the Way There Through the Show!

Dear Diary,
        I left off from when I was 12 or 13 for some point of the Price of Freedom, for I already read Moby Dick over last fall of 2013 while Banned Books Week took place from September 22-28. Moby Dick was banned by a Texas school district from the AP English literature class requirement list because it "conflicted with community values" in 1996 (same year I was born if you had not read my blog before). It's like a huge encyclopedia of whales with plenty of whaling classes and opportunities for you to look for. More description, less plot; but overall a good story because I watched The Deepest Fear this morning and it really was a short 20-min parody of the 583-paged book. Moby Deep was sometimes a sea monter and a "talking whale"?! No. He was supposed to be a White Whale named Moby Dick whose color was grey and had a thousand scars and about the sponge? He's weird-looking that I could tell that he was supposed to look a lot more like SpongeBob in my opinion. A song for this episode?! Looks like it came from the Jazz Age of the roaring 20s I think. I hear the dislikes of the first two of the hedgehog triplets, and I recommend them for a shower in a can for the Blue Blur and room service/massage/spa combo for the magenta one with pink hair. The several repeats of the quote lines came out of nowhere in Who Do You Think You Are, which is somewhat creepy for my mind to pop out some ideas. Say Middle East, I already know what's happening to this place in some formats from the Saudi Arabia fact book to the Tales from Arabian Nights with Scheherazade narrating throughout by Sir Richard Francis Burton. I mean come on, the "lost-and-found" medallion... so predictable to handle with that it takes like "15 minutes could save you 15% or more on... well you know" to beat the bad guys and "save the world". The Arab dance is somewhat funny and cute but may seem similar whereas to "The Twelfth Night" by William Shakespeare (I never read this play before). I wonder what the hedgehog trio were up to next in the next quarter and the other half before Maximum Ride Episode IV: The Final Warning. Thanks for some ideas I could've watched and seen as a tween.
 
Kudos! From:
Nat
 
P.S. I'll get my Culminating Project taken care of within finishing most of the Hour Log.
P.P.S. Note to self: Keep reading "Where She Went" by Gayle Forman, following by "The Blind Side" by Michael Lewis.

Results for the First Week of the Cartoon Show

Dear Diary,
        It's been a week since the beginning of the show. I am so familiar with these places, but believe me; I think it was a children's picture book. I'm going beyond of what could lie ahead of when I was like 12 or 13. I tried so many, many times because I already got the beginning memorized by mind. Why did the queen had no other family members beside her children? Because she loved them so much that she didn't want them to get separated from them, for the Oracle revealed the deadly fate (although she was forced to give up her children in three different classes). I guess she had a sister Elissa whose own parents are both dead in the invasion by the evil tyrant and that she had a nephew: the Black Blazer I'm not spoiling it by name until the very end of Star Wars 3 in novel format. Years later, the children grew to be fifteen-year old lads and the Oracle revealed to the Blue Blur that he's a prince and that he had a brother and a sister that they are close to have a song that's in his heart. I already got this song coming up in the pep band arrangement for school, but it's a little more extended than it was originally written on the show. I know it's the late 90s for the show, but not anymore; for I got upgrades for today's era of "smartphones, social networking, gadget apps and what not" taken care of for reception. The queen's family needs a little extension, the Oracle was supposed to be a miniature flying fairy dog, the plot needs some more detail and less suitable for kids (not much as bad as Julayla's account) but because it needs some YA elements from Maximum Ride along with its characters from Maximum Ride (so it's a crossover), the people of Mobotropolis was supposed to be humans like us along with some originality of species from the show, but not including some that look like vampires (vampires are evil and they're from Twilight), the costuming needs a little fixture so it should be as modest as... yeah, and the songs were a bit attractive and catchy that it'll stuck inside your head for the next few hours. Other than that, great story so far. I wonder what they're up to next after Mobodoon.

Kudos! From:
Nat
 
P. S. Let your imagination run wild!

For XP Users of Chrome, Sophos and Firefox w/ SNI

If you've been in Google Chrome and/or Firefox with SNI to call me again up until next year, you're okay until April 8, 2015. If you had Sophos on your XP, you're safe and may only use your XP machines for the lathes until July 14, 2015.

LipDub Day

        Today, I woke up in the morning and got ready for the day; but no, for I wear black and white instead of red, white and blue. Some of us showed the Rebel pride while others - not so much. When the time came for the music video to record, we got separated in three places me, my sister and about the third of us went in the front courtyard of our school, we followed the white truck while it's recording and meh... it's so crazy that the truck hit the tree, but I don't see it, for we went to the gym. After the last shot of the music video being recorded, we went back to class and I headed to the auditorium after packing things up and ready to get going. We see CP Final Presentation Directions and I already got the paperwork taken. I believe we're at the very tight schedule - just less than 40 days left until the XP end of life.I'll get in the full swing of my CP - Behind the Scenes @ JHS and get things working on full schedule until the night of graduation.

The Countdown to Windows XP Extended Support Ending Special

        Since Windows XP is coming to an end in less than 40 days after almost my "regular school life (K-12)", I already finished Maximum Ride #3: Saving the World and Other Extreme Sports just in time for the full run of Sonic Underground - one episode per day, leading up to the deadline: April 8, 2014 (which is my dad's 59th birthday). The show is very awesome and funny, I loved it even though that I was just thinking of the extreme makeover from a children's picture book in format of a cartoon TV show to a YA novel in format of a fanfic coming soon (Did you know Julayla's version is more intense and mature than I have?). After the deadline, I'll try to warm-up in preparation for the Protectors pentalogy from Maximum Ride (I know some of the people dislike the pentalogy). If there's much time, I believe I'll do something like... reading thus starting with Where She Went by Gayle Forman which kicks off the Love Story Double Feature, following by the Bind Side by Michael Lewis (a blind date special for our school library) and so forth that by or before St. Patrick's Day, I'll make sure to go back to the medieval world starting with perhaps Avalon High by Meg Cabot, continuation of the Merlin trilogy by James Mallory (with The King's Wizard and End of Magic if my order 'uncancels' from Amazon.com), or maybe Girl in a Cage by Jane Yolen and Princess Academy by Shannon Hale (if we can get a bookshelf). Since XP was coming to an end 12 days prior to Easter, things might want to get so brightened up I won't want to miss out on all of the fun with some fairy tale funsies if time. From the multicultural show and all the way up to the end of the school year which is graduation, I'll at least can look forward to the season finale with at least a few parters from Prep by Curtis Sittenfeld and all the way until the end...
        At least I forgot to add Zoey onto the population before Max #3, I got a hint first and then... voila! There you have it! 467 people in this place of imagination. I hope everybody else will stare at me, but nobody in this world will know how. But the next thing I ought to know is that there's going to be a hint for the upcoming book review: 67 days on a tour around a globe from August 13, 2010 until November? What the heck is Adam Wilde from the If I Stay 2-Parter up to next?! I thought it was Tuesday, October 19 of 2010. Sure thing that everything turned out to be just fine, but with the perspectives on the other hand - it's switiching places between what's really happening now in the main journey of pure imagination and what's going to begin a love triangle in a while starting with the prologue of the second installment where the opposing team begins and how does it all start. Don't worry, the first installment is over with and things will not going to be pretty by the time the Flock comes back for more action after Sonic Underground so they can start new adventures in a new volume of adventure starting with The Final Warning. It'll affect until the day before the deadline where everything is back to normal and now the real fun begins BIG time, but with this length around, there's still be hedgehog triplets and the Flock plus Black Blazer, me and Emma (that makes twelve from ages 6-18 plus Total) versus Grozen?! What?
        There shall be more special times, more imagination running wild than ever, more awesomeness, more craziness about the road ahead and more of the sprinting for the Broke and the Bookish ahead. But whatever you do, update your computer from XP to make a big switch to a newer one. Right now, hurry, XP won't last long, just hurry to a supermarket before the viruses attack!

If I Stay Book Review

WARNING: The book you’re about to read contains reenactments by real events by a fictious person’s point of view and the over 24 hours on a February day. Some names and identities may have been changed to those purposes.

        Before I move on to the sequel Where She Went, let's take a look back at Fall 2012's outside reading project that will make you cry.

In Gayle Forman’s “If I Stay”, seventeen-year old Mia, a senior at the high school, is faced with some hard ones. Staying with the music meaning that leaving her friends and family behind is so evenly.
Then one February morning, when Mia’s on the drive, everything changes: the rest of her family all died in a car crash, the seep, the “getting to the hospital” and really you know, the surgery and survivals, it deals with Mia’s will to live and this book can spark discussions about the range of topics, and it’s likely an “spent-the-cozy-evening-by-the-warm-fire” page turner on a February.

I like this book. It’s really good but what about you? If you watch “House”, “I Didn’t Know I Was Pregnant” and other medic shows, you are more likely to read this book if you’re a music lover. If you have read “Finding Miracles” before, you’ll read how Mia informs about the past. One Amazon critic was like "It was Mia’s will to survive the hospital experience you won’t want to miss. What would you do in her place? It’s really about the power of love… of family, friends, music… and therefore it ultimately affirms life."The another one said: "All of the characters are appealing, and there are flashbacks and thoughts Mia have for you to reveal."

In my opinion, I like it at first read but then when the sequel was available now, I was blowing away into the "I literally LOVE IT" rating! I mean about Adam going to New York to find Mia, I was about to go with it, so if you want to read "If I Stay", great, let me know whether you're ready to subscribe. Two thumbs up!

Is Maximum Ride the new Sonic the Hedgehog? A Maximum Ride Complete Saga Review Part 1

        Well, that's really a good question. But unfortunately, Sonic the Hedgehog (2006) goes down from bad to worst, due to the fact that it got glitches and "slugbugs" in it. The players read the summary before the day it's released into stores, but they wished they hadn't played it. If you dare play the game and it all ends when the princess and the hedgehog will never be spoken of again, you better go read the Maximum Ride saga here or at the library to check out. So let's go with the story. And be sure to stay tuned after this important question/complete series review combo post for the alternate ending of the finale. This is Part 1, in which will be the Fugitives trilogy. The second part deals with the Protectors pentalogy which is coming soon for more answers on the way if you already read all 8 books in the Maximum Ride series as a Sonic fan. Haha, I sure do fall in love with the world's Ultimate Life Form since 2005. You freaking know my version of Twilight in the future. Now, let's begin!

SPOILERS AHEAD! DUH!

The Fugitives Trilogy (1-3); Original Tertralogy (1-4)

Episode I: The Angel Experiment

        Fifteen years after the mysterious consuming of events, an unexpected group of kids get ready for the day. The story all starts on a fine May day, and everything is fine until Angel was kidnapped by the Erasers which are half-human half-wolf according to genetics. So the Flock starts on the journey in search for Angel. Do they have to save the world? That's pretty much of a big picture question throughout the whole series, but there are hints ahead of you to go do so.
        The Flock chased against the Erasers for the first time ever and they did the most challenging way to rescue Angel and the flock really did saved her from the School. The flock plus Angel go on to NYC where they prep up for heroism and had to find their real identities; though my first name only appeared in this book, you can see how awesome she and her brother played on the outdoor spring concert. Although the Flock head to the subway train station, the Voice first appreared in Max's mind. Angel got her teddy bear named Celeste (the bear was named after my aunt and one of the good imaginary friends of mine from Llandros' Hybrids, and UPDATE: the brunette from The Selection). After the documents are printed out, the Erasers fight against the Flock and eventually the Flock won over the Erasers. And looks like Angel had a dog named Total.

Episode II: School's Out Forever

        The Flock already headed over to Washington, DC, from where the previous installment left off they once again faced off with the Erasers with... wings. Oh, geesh, that will be more worse than Twilight werewolves and werehog fairies combined. Fang gets hurt and the ambulance take him to the hospital. After the rest, they found Anne Walker. They went to Anne's house (the house is American Victorian style). The Flock got enrolled for private school and they had a very bad, and strict principal like my experience at the first year of middle school with a strict, and forcing behavior. Fortunately, they meet new friends. Fang kissed Lissa while Max looks jealous that she took Sam to the movies on a date. Later, Sam and Max kiss. But about two in a half months later, they rebelled against the private school, so they got expulsed and realized that Anne Walker was the boss after Thanksgiving. They headed off to Florida where Ari steals a GameBoy from a supermarket. The Flock and Erasers headed down to Walt Disney World where they had at least two rides and a signature from "Wolverine" to a kid - I just can't get enough because it's just too cute. The Flock headed over to the lab in Florida (Itex) where Max faces off with anti-Max (Max II) and literally Max defeated Max II, nearly killing her. The Flock happily stayed at the Everglades.

Episode III: Saving the World and Other Extreme Sports

        A skeleton recovery from Itex has revealed. The Director knew that the DNA-experiments that they made by both the School and Itex were going expired and that they will kill them all by seven in the morning the next day. Fang's blog had some views increasing from twenty to a thousand. Max and the rest of the Flock headed west to Texas where they visited JFK's gravesite and they headed down to the football stadium. It's the Dallas Cowboys vs. the Chicago Bears (both of the teams belong to the National Football Conference Side, so it's the playoffs season especially), but before the game starts, it quickly became recognizable that they were like, "Nah! It was so bad that God forbid us to go there. Let's find someplace else."
        They get out of the stadium, move on with their lives and make plans on how to be hidden cavemen on permanent ground for the rest of their lives, but no - for Fang and Max had their first kiss. The last kiss before the very first official one they had was when Max kissed Fang who was nearly bled-out for a second at the beach. (Remember from The Angel Experiment?) The Flyboys (Metal Erasers) made their first appearance - they had to face-off with Nudge, Gazzy, Angel and Total. Max returned to Dr. Martinez's house, but this time with Fang. They had chocolate chip cookies and examined what was wrong with the chip. The chip was in Max's arm - it was used to be attached on the wing near the beginning of the complete saga. They had the chip out, but the Voice was stuck in Max's head for what can be prevailed throughout the rest of the series or something (Hint: It has to be someone or either somebody).
        Later, the School kidnapped the Flock and then the Flock was placed in hospital beds. Looks like the Flock, Ari and several others survived the termination throughout the first quarter already and stilll counting. Literally, the little old lady comes up and had the vanilla aroma of some fresh-baked cookies. This made the Flock and Ari wonder what to escape... but luckily, Max got the Velcro straps out with superhuman strength like some hybrid bird-man from X-Men. Ari showed up, still lying in bed, saying that the others got killed and that, he and the Flock were the only ones survived through the termination. He revealed that he was Jeb's son. Mad scientists from the School split the world's population in half, but in the 2007 edition of this installment it has six billion people cut into three billion people and it could cut into a billion; well, in my opinion, I believe that there are seven billion people who were going to cut into three in a half billion people and later into still one billion people because this installment takes place fifteen years after 2006 (even though it's now 2022). The Flock failed all of the tests according to ter Borcht; for ter Borcht kidnapped the flock and then he put them to execution. The Flock was in a cage... again on a cloudy night this time. Ari comes to the rescue and saves the Flock. The hybrid DNA-recombinant people begin to separate. There are multiple explosions someplace outside the School, for; they had to go to the snowy mountains and had some food. Fang's blog was viewed by over 28 million people. Max and Fang had to break up and split the group in about a half - Iggy and Gazzy with Fang, and Ari, Nudge, Angel and Total with Max. On Max's side, they had to go to Europe. But Max said England was far away so they had to go to Washington, DC. Fang, Iggy and Gazzy went to Los Angeles on the West Coast. There they find some hot girls in bikinis, it was a bit romantic but cute and that much friendly like. The Flyboys come along; Fang's blog had nearly a billion views and 108 comments. Woah! No way, this blog is crazy and very popular that I wished my blog could have lots of views like Fang. The post before comments tells us that Fang, Iggy and Gazzy face off with the Flyboys and they beat all 200 of them.
        Meanwhile, Max, Nudge, Angel, Total and Ari visited England; then, they flew to France for 30 minutes where they visit Paris and Versailles, and then they go to the castle and see Max II for the next time. Max II?! Oh my gosh, no way. She was resurrected from the presumed dead like Ari from The Angel Experiment (resurrected in School's Out - Forever), Superman from Superman by J. J. Abrams and Black Blazer from SA2 (resurrected in Heroes). Is it that crazy for me to see the first ever female character - Max's "old clone double" revived? It's like the dragon escaping from the mountain in the end of the Desolation of Smaug. Back in LA, Fang, Iggy and Gazzy went to the hotel where they faced off with Flyboys for yet a third time in a row. In the end, they head down south. Back in France, Nudge II showed up for the first time. The Itex plans on trying to make the world a better place by the "By-Half Plan" or the "Re-Evolution Plan" - no more hunger, no more weakness and no more getting sick. They are trying to not make any more worldly problems anymore. The Flyboys take Max, Nudge, Angel, Total and Ari a long interior way to the "secret door". The Flyboys left the five behind, but eventually after all of these fourteen years, Max finally discovered a mom who was turned out to be the director of Itex. Her name was Marian Janssen. A little later, the Voice turned out to be Jeb. Fang's blog had "tons" of views. That was very popular. The email reveals that Max and the half-flock plus Total and Ari were now in Germany (although it was written by Nudge). Fang and his half-flock went on their way to Germany. Did you know that the homeless computer nerd first appeared in The Angel Experiment? His name is Mike.
        Ari writes down the name for the first time from dirt. Max II appears again. Then, ter Borcht showed up again with other people in white labcoats and Marian came along; together they inspect the flock. Marian was going to be the Emperor of the New World Without the Problems and was trying to take over the world. Jeb was revealed to Max that he was her father and that Dr. Martinez was her mother. It was also revealed that Ari's real mom (Jeb's wife) died giving birth to him - so he was revealed that he was Max's half-brother. Last but not least, it was also revealed that Ella Martinez was Max's half-sister. Mara made her first appearance. Max declared that the Flock and the Erasers were the strongest hybrids by far, but Omega eventually showed up when the Director introduced him to Nudge, Angel, Total, Ari and Max. What?! Did you know that Omega was named after E-123 from Sonic Heroes and onward in the mid-2000s. In this version of Omega, he was the same age as Max, has pale brown hair, silvery blue eyes, couple inches shorter than Max and weighs 140 pounds. He and Max face-off in the stage and they fight each other.
        Meanwhile, the blog went still broken due to the overcrowding of lots of people. Fang, Iggy and Gazzy went to Lendeheim, Germany on a cargo plane, even though it was not sunrise yet. The Flyboys found the half-flock so they can fight with them. The sun rises as Max and Omega compete in speed without ever flying, strength (with weights?!), and intelligence, but things went wrong when the real fight-to-the-death begins. And then it was going on the epic turn of the battle of good vs. evil. Ari dies in Max's arms, knowing his life was "expired". This is the second time for Ari being presumed dead or yet the final time being presumed dead. The last time is near the end of the Angel Experiment, but he got resurrected at the beginning of School's Out - Forever. Someone put the fire on the Flyboys from the flaming arrow and then they look useless until they see the flaming statue, and then they were frozen - like "not working joints". The Flyboys went extinct by shortage and electrocution from the net above them. Several rocks flew to several countries - England, Netherlands and Austrailia. The Itex was destroyed and the Director finds out that she was a turtle hybrid and that she was 107 years old (though she looks much immortal - very much similar to a sparkling vampire from Twilight). The Director got arrested by the German police. Next, Fang, Iggy and Gazzy reunite together with Max, Nudge, Angel and Total. They went to the coffee shop in France and together they went back to the beach next. Fang and Max brought back together again for the first time, but Iggy made Max to pull away from Fang. The Flock went to Arizona for an overnight stay with Dr. Martinez and Ella. Jeb showed up during the stay and looks like Magnolia debuted somewhat. After the overnight stay, the Flock came out refreshed and flew into the sunset. A perfect ending indeed, but I overthought that the Flock will be back hopefully and that things won't need to be pretty.

Stay tuned for Part 2! To be continued...

Chapter 6: A Field Trip

        Friday night on February 7, I was so glad that the Drama Regionals got postponed for the next two weeks - much time to memorize the monologues. We worked on the monologues over the weekend, but I chilled out all weekend until very little time to finish my homework. I did two pieces just in time for turning-it in. I slept, got up, had my chocolate milk, took a shower, got dressed and finished getting ready for the day. I had breakfast at school and decided to read. We went to UW for a Band Festival on February 11. We go to the Meany Hall, watched groups, performed on stage and took our group pictures - one is serious and the other looks funny. After that, we waited a half hour, attended the master class, and had lunch. My mom and I went to the library with the cafe on the right when you enter inside. There you get to buy all of the goodness and I ended up drinking the best juice from Nantucket. We went back to school and chilled out in the band room until 2:20pm at which point, where I go home on the bus. Man, these two weeks of discovering new places is very good but on a Saturday night, which is February 15, I ordered the books from Amazon. I'm not spoiling the titles yet until I post them as reviews on the blog. Last Saturday, I woke up at 5:35am to get ready for Regionals. We went on the bus at 6:50am and we left at 7 in the morning. It took like about two hours to go the Capital High. Have you ever attended there? If not, this is the school that is home to the same mascot I had at Kamiakin Junior High (if you haven't read the beginning of my true blog story of life as a YA, this is home to the Cougars). I was J122, believe me; I did the monologues on Round 2 in one of the A-Pod rooms. I had a great time for the rest of the day, even though the Regionals took place on my sister's 14th birthday. At the end of the weekend, did you know what is Canada? Canada is right above our state of Washington, not just here but the whole USA. Thanks and hope you enjoyed the Sochi Olympics.

Additional Advice for Windows XP Ending Extended Support

Don't worry, Windows XP Embedded Edition of Extended Support will end on January 12, 2016. Downgrade support ends by the end of the Windows 7 lifecycle. Windows Server 2003 ends July 14, 2015.

Windows XP is Ending Extended Support on My Dad's 59th Birthday (April 8, 2014)

ATTENTION XP USERS! If you use my blog on your XP, well, it's time to make the switch to Windows 7 like my mom's laptop - it's the #1 popular tech product of computers in the world. Windows 8 and 8.1 (Surface) is still on sale and it needs good popularity for you to try out. Or better yet, make a computer switch to Mac or the Google chromebook (home of blogs powered by Google like mine). If you still use XP after my dad's 59th birthday, you could be at costly risk - there will be open doors to hackers, increasing risks of viruses and malaware, cybercriminals to steal your hardware and you will be on your own. See, is that simple. What are you waiting for! Make a huge switch from XP and all the way to newer platforms from this day forward. Here is the XP logo BTW:


Made August 24, 2001... born October 25, 2001... will CEASE TO EXIST APRIL 8, 2014!

Here's the gravestone:


Here's the desktop in which you will get used to it:


A cartoon version of the desktop:


Perfect for the ducks from Duck Life 1 and Duck Life 2 to come run around this place. :)

And a perfect wallpaper set for those of you who hate the brightness, the hills, and nature goodness:


It was taken from the XP startup dubstep video with all of the flashes through.

We really hope you can make the switch. You don't have to wait until April 8.

What are my plans for this week? (as of Feb. 18)

After school/drama:
- do my homework
- practice lines
- finish homework if not spare time for chill-outs
- read if time avails

Superman by J. J. Abrams - The Movie Screenplay Review

        This script is very awesome, but I know; it's so PG-13 rated that it looks like ideas went into my mind and I was like "Woah! I want to do this and that by paper and pencil to write/jot and draw it down." It's like off of the reader's block just in time to revive my fanfic reading and do it all over again. I mean seriously, the prophecy in the end reacts in the way that some hero can overthrow the main villain in the reboot so he can save the home planet and keeps his promise to his love. It looks much similar to my video game in Pure Hero Ending that I selected as Best Case Scenario to add up to my essay. I had written endless love songs of my nerdy imaginary friend that I go "I'm so tired of the same topic. Let's try something else." How about ice cream? Valentine's poem with that useless same topic coming up? Or better yet - try for Broke and the Bookish?
        At the beginning of the script, when Kal-Zor takes over Krypton, it's like Sonic Underground meets The Angel Experiment. I mean, what the heck about communism over that fictional planet. Literally, Jor-El and his wife had to give up Kal-El, just so to send him off to our world where Max and the Flock lives (that's Earth). Kal-El was renamed Clark by the Kent couple because of the dimples and he was raised at Smallville. No wonder why that ordinary kid gets transformed into a superhero for what reason at one winter when he was fourteen (he grew up with powers since he was a baby). That was much of an infamous moment of "Some heroes were born, others are made.". Also, as the story progresses, Clark meets up with Lois at the college dorm where there's some partying going on until some interuption where most drunken people leave for a late night fun. Clark was undeclared and Lois went major in journalism. Things get driven on a business turn such as the Daily Planet interviews and such newspaper company whatnots. From almost halfway through the script and up to near the end (pgs.), this captures "the stranger" from zero to hero and it's like a brief phenomenon of what it looks like to be famous (you get it - the extended edition of 15 minutes of being famous). When the extended time of being famous comes to an end, everything changed. Of the ancient prophecy, I believe I'm not going to spoil the ending: seriously it's so predictable and so similar to the prophecy made by the Oracle from SU, the show I'm going to watch really badly (just one episode per day before the XP lifecyle ending - Goal: Finish it off by April 8, 2014 (my dad's 59th birthday is on the XP deadline)). I believe I recommend it to newbies of "the Nerd social group" and upward in level of Nerds.

I like to say I'm so impressed
Thinking of ideas, thinking of my storyline

I So Don't Do Mysteries

Lovin and lovin and yeah
Lovin and lovin and yeah
Fun, fun, fun, fun
Looking forward to our lovely night
I finally kissed my imaginary friend
After all of those eight years
I should've bought him flowers and chocolate
It's already past my coming-of-age milestone
Our team had won
43-8 Seattle
Football season's coming, going and already gone
What do you think, shall we dance
Changing blue and green, yeah
Into red, white, purple
And guess what it is yet also pretty pink
It's Valentine's, Valentine's
Got to get down on Valentine's
Everybody's looking forward to our lovely night

So last week is the wrap-up of Seahawks
We, we, we're so excited
We're so excited
[quick instrumental]
We're gonna have a date today
Next week is President's
And next Saturday is Simone's birthday
I don't want this moment to end
...
When I was a little boy
I had my first true love
She was the same age as me back then
I could marry her one day
A decade later, she lived long enough
A dog's life, she broke up my heart
I was so lonely 'cause

The Lone Ranger 2013 Movie Review

This movie is about a young boy who hears a story told by an Indian. From an Indian's perspective is about how he and his friend The Lone Ranger wrecked the train and how they go on numberous adventures which made me so confusing (somewhat), that I was like "What?! What was wrong with this piece of wandering stuff?" I already saw the first half of the movie but we never got to finish the other half due to the fact that we go home. This movie really was supposed to be based on a true story, but then it was adapted from a popular TV show. This is really depressing and much of a disappointment that I could forget the whole entire thing, hopefully I'll see it again at one time someday. 3/5 stars should be okay, but it's alright. Seen on January 15, 2014.

I'm On a Break for Now (Banned Books Period is Coming Soon)

        Hey guys, sorry about the busy road ahead of today, I had to take a break so I can get the monologues memorized and get ready for Drama Regionals. But first, let's just say that Banned Books Month is coming soon in May. Hopefully after The Book Theif, let's go with the reread of Bridge to Terabithia and A Wrinkle in Time because the people need to celebrate the freedom to read. I've been waiting for the Banned Books Week of 2014 for too long that I wanted to celebrate and support really badly. The upcoming week will be by Sept. 21-27, 2014 and that in hopes that it ruined my childhood memories recently a bit for me, I already discovered what's missing. Last year, we saw the video clip at church, it was the extended version of voting no on the R-74 advertisement. Two children's books that can demoralize us, true Christians in America. They were: Who's In the House? - bad as meh because it contains homosexuality in it. King and King - when I hear and saw the bit of a book, in the end, I saw two princes kissing and I was like "Ewww!". It contains gay-marriage in it because of instead of prince and princess, kids really don't care about the marriage which is really crazy due to the Miley effect. We voted "No", but it failed. I hate it when it happens... our nation is going crazier. To be perfectly honest with you, let's just say that the prince and princess will get married and nothing else will ever happen to these changes. Man + Woman = Marriage and Kids. See, is that simple?
        This year, my life is about to go crazy all over this place this upcoming May. I need to reread two books I already read as a middle school student in order for some early reviews for one of the upcoming special weeks, since I totally forgot about the plotline of these two after the last time I read it. ASL Weekend of 2014 is by May 2-4, 2014. Can't wait to sign and fingerspell all weekend long. Oh, and BTW, I'll be back once when the Drama Regionals were all 100% done. Be back in just a while.

I (Finally) Kissed an Imaginary Friend!

As I come of age
for the first time in forevermore
things have changed
for good
 
My behavior is mature enough
Semester One is done
The narrator's favorite main character passed on
Thus having him to switch perspectives
To independent mode - me and everyone else
In my world
 
The sun arises!
So the landscape brightens!
Into the new and glorious morn
I (finally) kissed an imaginary friend
So last week...
 
Not only do his lips touch mine
But it can also break away the five-day separation
Yeah, yeah I celebrate imagination
After all of these years of the making
Eight years in the making
 
Looking back
My life is the same without him
I need to know why
Why did I keep his promise he was supposed to give to his true girlfriend?
I've done wrong for too long, I must've done something good
 
My traits were:
Good - Santa's giving me good stuff every Christmas
Artistic - My sister Lauren's going great with her drawing skills, I was cartoony
Good sense of humor - I was funny with my style of writing
Party animal - I'm no sex toy, I'm not a peer pressure target with everything wrong (for I am a censored kind - I go to important good parties)
Bookworm - Being literary for life is so good since Facing the Lions in 2011
 
My lifetime wish:
I'll have a pure imaginative journey and join in the fun with the Broke and the Bookish
 
I'm so sick and tired of those world problems
I need more of you God
I can't go on without you God
I just can't get enough of Your Faithfulness
 
Last Sunday
We won the Super Bowl finally
After eight years of redemption
We're #12
We could be the MVP
I watched the whole entire game
And before you know it
We'll watch the parade tomorrow
 
. . .
 
 This is my life for now
Things are a hustling and a bustling
As I try to make things straight and ready to get going
What else can I come up within
 
If I were to open up and explore new worlds
My life won't be mainly complete
Without my bookshelf
So much to do
So much fun to come
 
I adopted Emma yesterday
That counts as my adopted daughter for my world
I'm a single mother for now
Until then... I will marry my "nerdy" imaginary friend
 
When my time has come for me to read
"The Hunger Games" finally
I may wonder what else could our little child can handle with
If it's a boy - his name is Kyuseishu
If it's a girl - her name is Antigone
I hope it's a girl, and so do my nerdy imaginary friend
On his 22nd birthday
 
But when its time has come to compete
Our people will come to watch the skies as many starships begin to shoot
Millions of soldiers from distant worlds were beig retreated
As our people were shooting at the strangers and the ships
While the 23 other kids will be sacrificed for life
 
No words can describe the queen mother's tears
No words can hear my broken heart
I have to leave my baby on the doorstep,
so no one could ever take him/her away
To the annual games
 
My dreams keep haunting and haunting
In the end, my literary life will be over completely killed
In "Mockingjay"
I need to revive in "Divergent" and beyond
After such a long, long break
 
It's not over
My literary life is my journey
My choice is to make the bookish dreams happen
I make a family of two
Me, 18 and Emma, 8
Ten years apart from each other
Her birthday was yesterday
My birthday is just two weeks ago
I became romantic interests with my nerdy imaginary friend
Whose number of hints was the four
All I need to do is to come back with more later in the future
 
These first two weeks as a YA
Were the very best
What now?

Arsenic and Old Laces The Play Review

        It's like the murder mystery of the early 1940s, even though The Phantom of the Opera has got an update to the time when we the US and Allies had to defeat the Enemy lands in an important statehood of an army (WWII). It's not opera singing, neither the Angel of Music (Eric) and other ghosts exist, nor the fanciness of the Victorian style happen - for it's extremely rare; there's Abby and Martha that kept this type of style in tradition. There's Mortimer who wrote most terrible reviews at the theater, for he's a critic. He got engaged to Elaine. Jonathan is the main villain of the story, with H. Einstein as the sidekick - much of the French-Italian like accent to me. What about Teddy?! He was a Roosevelt-wannabe and said "CHARGE!" when he goes upstairs every single time that it was like a definite slogan of what would be like in the Spanish-American War. There are 11... no, 12... no, 13 people dead in this play! The dead people were located in the cellar and they were all Yellow Fever victims. No wonder why did they all die beforehand?

        I know I've seen three popular live Broadway musicals already in my life: the Cinderella production by Rodgers and Hammsterstein (when I was 11 in 2007 at the JHS Auditorium), Aladdin (it's very near to premeire at Broadway on February 26 that I already saw it at the 5th Avenue theater when I was 15), and Anything Goes (the Disney version of James Cameron's Titanic; it took place in the 1930s, much G-rated like (suitable for 8 and up), has a happy ending (the boat has a reversable travel from America to England and successfully landed there), 11 jazzy songs throughout the whole play (the original version of the movie hit had no songs whatsoever for it's a contemporary serious star-crossed lover's tragedy - Celiene Dion had an original popular blockbuster song (My Heart Will Go On) sang in the end credits), and the last time it played at the JHS Auditorium it was after I already saw Shen Yun - much edible from what the script was originally written). I thought it was a musical of the Ragtimes, but no; for I already read over half a script while in groups but shortly after 4 in the afternoon last Friday, my mom picked me up, and dang, I never got to finish the whole entire thing around but to pick up to where I am at. What a shame that my life would be like if there are full of ups-and-downs in this way. And I never got to finish less the other half once when I watched the whole entire game of when the Seahawks defeat the Broncos - 43-8 Seattle, by the way. I read part of it just so to get my nails decorated by Simone - just in time for the game. Thanks for the time being put off by all of the chill-outs and what-nots, I can read the other half all Monday long...

        I came back with almost done with the whole thing when Monday ends. I think that it was such a very good, but the edible play with the striping edits. I think why did this play became so popular in high schools, community colleges and rarely professional theatres especially when it comes to murder mystery. I finished the script finally this morning... thank goodness. Now comes very important events to come up with: Video Game Night on a Friday and Regionals on a Saturday. It's like vacation weekend the first half. It took five days to progress it through, but man, believe me, I think I had to research the early 1940s.

The Princess and the Goblin Book Review

The Princess and the Goblin by George MacDonald
What It's Like: Disney's Tangled Meets Tolkien's The Hobbit in the Barbie as Princess and the Pauper twist

        For three whole weeks, I have read this book before. You heard of it before. This story is about a blonde girl with blue eyes who was eight years old. Her name was Irene. She was raised at the nurse's home in the peaceful nursery, until she accidently went up the stairs to meet her great-great-grandmother whose name was the same as herself (her name was also Irene). Eight-year old Irene was more likely to believe that her grandmother was upstairs, but the nurse Lootie didn't believed it. Outside home, Irene meets up with the goblins and Curdie a twelve-year old miner who was the son of Peter Peterson. Together, that seems that it turns out to be a very good story but however, "Princess Irene is in danger from the mountain goblins. Will young Curdie be able to help her in time?"

        Already perfect enough for the next Disney animated film to be adapted from a book - but it should have Irene the Princess to be added into the Princess collection. I wonder why if Elsa and/or Anna from Frozen might be added to the Princess collection in the near future hopefully (if it is a prediction in my opinion). This is the next child heroine read to be perfectly honest with you, but the previous times I read is of Ellen from Ellen Foster, Leslie from Bridge to Terabithia, Susan and Lucy from The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe by C. S. Lewis, Polly from The Magician's Nephew by C. S. Lewis also, Anne from Anne of Green Gables, Rebecca from Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm, Alice from Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll, Wendy from Peter Pan by J.M. Barrie, Dorothy from Wizard of Oz by Frank Braum, and Marie (Clara in the ballet version) from The Nutcracker and the Mouse King by E. T. A. Hoffmann. I mean what can I do to read in my prediction? Is it gonna be the main character of Princess Academy by Shannon Hale or was it going to be child dasmels in distress I'm going to read is Primrose from Hunger Games, Moonchild from Neverending Story or...? Um... I might lean toward Penelope by Marilyn Kaye or Girl in a Cage by Jane Yolen. Not sure why I had to decide after this book.
        It's like a mutiple choice pathway like my game I'm not spoiling it until the very point of climax. The secrets are out and I just had enough but... oh another hint for my imaginary friend: last time his favorite color was light brown because I just got my nerdy pillow for Christmas of 2013. The second hint: He's got his own game and it has a multiple choice pathway some of the people think "Oh well, it was very endless and useless that I'm so confused of which pathway to take." I mean seriously, I choose the Pure Hero Side because he can save the kingdom, redeem his own father and keep his promises to his girl of the dreams. It's very a good thing that he was the son of the samurai warrior and the teen novice princess. What?! I revealed two more hints of my imaginary friend. Now that makes four hints: meaning - I had to read two more books of the main storyline.
        What was it going to be? Since the Seahawks won the NFC Championship, I'll go on with the continuation of Maximum Ride, thus having to read the next two installments. Last time I read Maximum Ride was School's Out Forever. It was the sequel to The Angel Experiment and really the first two I read was very awesome that I can eager onto the next book: Saving the World and Other Extreme Sports. I already read the sneak preview on the Nook Tablet after Life of Pi by Yaan Martel. Just can't wait to look forward to the next huge thing of my life. If the Seahawks win the Super Bowl, I'll read Ender's Game and Where She Went. If the Broncos win, just go to Where She Went already... Here is my list after Princess and the Goblin. It's official:
  1. Maximum Ride Episode III: Saving the World and Other Extreme Sports by James Patterson
  2. Maximum Ride Episode IV: The Final Warning by James Patterson
  3. Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card (it's already made into film November 2013 that I'll read so badly it's like a priority to The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins (my time is coming soon...))
  4. Where She Went by Gayle Forman (I love If I Stay from last year - it's coming soon to theatres since I checked on behind the scenes on the web. It's coming soon this year to cinemas! So excited! xD I'm looking forward to the sequel since I finished the first installment of the two-parter and I've been dreading on this for too long.)
  5. Sequels to Uglies and Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants (Pretties, Specials and Extras were on the way, and Second Summer of Sisterhood, Girls in Pants: Third Summer of the Sisterhood, Forever in Blue: Fourth Summer of the Sisterhood and Sisterhood Everlasting (coming up prior to Enchanted and Nevermore)) (Pretties and Second Summer of Sisterhood is up next halfway through Maximum Ride, Specials and Girls in Pants is after 3/4 of the way there through Maximum Ride, Extras and Forever in Blue is after Angel but Sisterhood Everlasting is after all of the fairy tales and Narnia and prior to Enchanted and Nevermore)
  6. Girl in Cage, Princess Academy, Dragons in Our Midst, rest of Merlin trilogy by James Mallory, Love Stargirl (EST. 2000), The Book Thief, Penelope, Undercover and Stardust (not sure where to put in a timeline of the main plot of pure imagination)
        Thank goodness I am not sure why I did it is because of in no particular order whatsoever. Believe me? No, seriously, what is Broke and the Bookish? It's a meme that has those Top Ten Tuesdays posted one top ten every Tuesday for bookish ideas like Top Ten Best/Worst Movie Adaptations (e.g. I love the Chronicles of Narnia films for the important part of making me want to read this complete 7-part book series in chronological order after a few years of not worthing it and trying to make my way but with Percy Jackson the movie (The Lightning Theif)... no just no. I loved the book version over a thousand times nine x (over 9000 times) better. It was a really good book series, but with Heroes of Olympus wrapping up progress eight months away from the end, I can still find out that whatever or not, the sequels to the Percy Jackson movie are getting a bit better to be perfectly honest with you), or how about Top Ten Resolution Genres I'm Looking Forward to in 2014 (How about the movie script genre. I already got started on Superman by J.J. Abrams, but last year I read Monster by Walter Dean Myers for school. For fanfics, I am getting to the SU Remake by Julayla but the reader's block stopped me from ever reading it.) I am getting interested in joining in but in order to read lots, you have to read whatever you want in just so to sign-in. I am a great reader, believe me, I just wished I could read the sequels to 2001: A Space Odyssey but nothing worked out for time flew by really fast I could just forget the Contact novel and get into the movie adaptation. The movie is yet worth my time since I was twelve when I got interested in stars and scifi. Nowadays, as it came to a sudden wrap-up, I was like "What the heck is wrong with me?!" for crying out loud that I totally forgot about the tween chic-fic genre. The last time I read before "I So Don't Do Mysteries" was the sequel to "Eleven": "Twelve". I already read it when I was twelve-in-a-half, now I have to read "Eleven" first, reread "Twelve" and then get into the sequels "Thirteen" and "Thirteen Plus One" (that's fourteen).
        I was supposed to read Girl in a Cage, Dragons in Our Midst and Princess Academy and other stuff, not forcing myself to just cheat on the main storyline just so to read Catching Fire (that's what Simone's so freaking annoying me into forcing me to). I literally hated cheating because cheaters never win in the end BTW. I just can't, my time has not come yet. I have to wait until after the end of the Revenge of the Sith to get into the Hunger Games. So what's the point? Are you with me? Agree?
        I watched the A&E version of Pride and Prejudice over the first half of the weekend in between semesters. It was very interesting and seriously way better than the sappy 2005 version from Focus Features. I had never read this book before, but trust me, I will get it read on the Nook Tablet. It's been "sitting on the shelf" for over a year. I watched the movie together with my family for 2 days straight - 3 episodes on a Friday night, 2 episodes on a Saturday afternoon and a finale for a Saturday night (this is my POV). After all of the mini-series, I was like "Oh, thank goodness it's finally over that I was going to finish 'The Princess and the Goblin' by now!" but I just can't for it's too late for the day.
        I had a list of book trailers I already watched before the finale was shown:
  1. Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 (Sisterhood #2-4)*
  2. Penelope
  3. Stardust
  4. The Book Thief
  5. Ender's Game
  6. Maximum Ride Episode III: Saving the World and Other Extreme Sports
  7. Where She Went (If I Stay #2)
*Sisterhood Everlasting is not adapted into film yet. It can wait until 2019.

        Oh my gosh, there's no way to find out how, but who cares about what comes next after this book I'm reviewing? It was definitely not Hunger Games but I'll just let me have a hint: Since the Seahawks were going to the Big Apple, I may wonder if I go try for Ender's Game. It seems to me that it's like an aftermath to 2001: A Space Odyssey and Starship Troopers, for it's a priority to the Hunger Games... oooh, that's nice! Oh I see, now I get it. Thanks for the hint to the Hunger Games aka Ender's Game. It's just a priority believe me. Looks like it's official of what's next after the book I'm reviewing now.

        Okay, back to the review, I finally finished the book today. (SPOILER ALERT: The people went up the mountain due to the waters rising; and that, the goblins became friendly and more good. The last sentence made me want to cringe for a sequel to this book especially.) I didn't know it was the first installment to the Princess Irene and Curdie series, but I already read about the author prior to the story and guess what - The Princess and Curdie was split into four installments. I mean George MacDonald wrote some other stuff like two fantasy books that is just for grownups. I mean who cares about these two books to read. No idea why, but lucky me I heard that trusted grownups had read a book before - it depends on how much they had read it before from a long time ago up until last year. My mom read it before but she didn't know the plot, for she loved it lots and it was recommended for young women. For me, it was very cute that it should be adapted into the next Disney animated film - that would be awesome enough for Mom to go see it. I really do care about Irene and Curdie, but overall, I believe it should be recommended to both boys and girls who had/hadn't read Narnia before - for ages eight and up the back cover says. (I read 3/7 of the way there through Narnia, but it should count as a spinoff to Narnia so 1/2 is alright I think in my opinion.) In conclusion, let's say it's been perfect prior to Prince Caspian I will read. I know the finals are over and I was very relieved that I am done with the tests and everything in it. Thank you and have a nice day! Happy Sunday and hopefully you get your fingers crossed for next week's big event. Go Hawks!

Top Ten Books I'm So Looking Forward to For Bookish What-Nots

This Top 10 Tuesday is brought to you live on the Broke and the Bookish. Sorry about the day's delay folks. Here are the ten things I never read it before in my life but to appeal into it:

1. Movie screenplays. I already started on J.J. Abram's Superman and guess what? I'm on page 6 on the Nook Tablet. Last year, I read Monster written by Walter Dean Myers for school. It was really a good read to be adapted into an MTV original movie.
2. Fanfics. I was trying to get into the Sonic Underground Remake by Julayla, but the reader's block quickly messed me up which it caused me to stop it from happening. Did you know that 10% of all fanfics were worth an excellent job?
3. Nonfiction. I researched for the US Social Studies Semester One Final: a movie poster to put up with, but luckily I found more info about Elizabeth Cady Stanton. Also, I got an over 100-paged quick versions of biographies with illustrations of Rosa Park and Abe Lincoln for "Who Was..." series. My dad "forced" me to read this genre, but nothing occurred, for I have to pay close attention to what I would rather do.
4. Finish the series. I had lots of series to just finish it up. 6th grade: When I read Harry Potter #1 in the entire thing through, I got bored into the Magician's Nephew but I had to stop in order to do some English reading for school. When I did the task, I was starting to feel complete with Harry Potter and move on to the movie adaptations. Up until recently, on the Cinco de Mayo of last year, I learned that this series was like Wizards of Waverly Place meets The Hunger Games British style. I believe we're not going to do that, but then the slide just switched to the Twilight. Come on, seriously? The preacher was like sarcastic with Jacob Black. I was so glad I hadn't read the Twilight series, but I had to revise the whole thing around just so to make everyone else feel happy when they read all about my true story of imagination and my love for a friend. I never read paranormal stuff in print, but I would rather read my favorite story blogs: Dawn and Cadence. Series I need to finish up were If I Stay, Stargirl, Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, Inheritance Cycle, Uglies, Merlin by James Mallory, Maximum Ride, fairy tales, and The Chronicles of Narnia. Series I just finished finally: Percy Jackson and the Olympians (finished summer of 2012).
5. Comic Books. I already read the Star Wars Long Time Ago Volumes 1 & 2 and the Shadow of the Empire. I read the bit of manga when I was a kid. Now I need to do something about comics, speaking of this, I will decide to eventually.
6. More classics. Oh, what the day to go have more vocabulary in my mind.
7. More YA. This is going to have more fun out there.
8. Plays. I already read four plays before: Sleeping Walter, The Mouse That Roared, Anything Goes and 4AM (Is anybody out there?). Now comes Shakespeare in most well-known plays I will read.
9. Technical stuff. I already read some of this in Senior English, but lucky me, I got ehow and wikihow on my stuff to do with instructions in my head. I got DragoArt taken care of for my drawings, but now comes the road after HS graduation.
10. News. I read some, watched some and write some into the journals rarely. I'll keep it up with myself ever since junior year.

Thanks and Happy Wednesday!

Top Ten Books That Will Make You Cry

This top ten list is dedicated to Brook and the Bookish. Enjoy:

1. The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood by Howard Pyle (I literally cried when the merry men die in the end, you will too)
2. King Arthur and His Knights by Henry Firth (This is much of an alternate timeline to my world, but to me it's like an adventure. If you read this, you might want to go read the James Mallory version of the Merlin trilogy and Merlin's Mistake after your book is finished)
3. Finding Miracles (if you read this book, watch October Baby)
4. Ellen Foster (Colored = black/African)
5. A Lesson Before Dying (much of a sad wrap-up to sophomore year before the True Ending of First Season takes place)
6. The Fault in Our Stars by John Green (very true to my side of my reading log over last spring, but so sad that I just want to read "Looking for Alaska" and/or "Abundance of Katherines")
7. If I Stay by Gayle Forman (That was very touching and sad that will make you want to cry about whether or not Mia will survive through the situation of out-of-body experience. Can't wait for "Where She Went" since near the beginning of so-last year... must read the sequel after the first installment of Protectors Pentalogy (and the last of the Original Tetralogy) from Maximum Ride. xD)
8. Peter Pan in the Kensington Garden by J.M. Barrie (a better prequel to Peter Pan than Peter and the Starcatchers. So sad in the end...)
9. Tie: The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald and The Outsiders by S.E. Hilton (these are both great classics to make you tear out your hair)
10. Moby Dick by Herman Melville (I know this is long but sad...)

Books I'll Read So Bad That Will Make You Cry:

1. The Last Five Installments of Maximum Ride by James Patterson (I know the ending but I'm not spoiling it until the very end of the saga to read is because the people surrounded me spoiled it. I apologized Simone for this and she forgave me back. If I read this, I'll might want to cry at the end knowing how to end Melody's, Leah's, and Jenna's story very well to read. Before the final announcements and honor of their blogs, I will read the last book.)
2. Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare (This is so sad that you will cry at the end to see Romeo and Juliet die together.)
3. Star Wars Ep III by Matthew Stover (It's like Breaking Dawn Part 1 meets Deathly Hallows Part 2 with a Star Trek-like twist that some of you will cry when Padme dies in childbirth.)
4. The Hunger Games Trilogy by Suzanne Collins (It's like Breaking Dawn Part 2 meets Percy Jackson and Les Miz combined in a dystopian twist. This is like a phenomenon from sophmore year and onward when the first movie is heating up for the release. My time is not yet come, for I hear of Katniss, Peeta, Gale and what-not reactions for so many peers everywhere that I was like "What? What the heck is wrong with you?" This will make you cry when every installment of the book series reaches its end.)
5. My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Piccoult (I know this book is so tragic, that New Line Cinema completely changed the ending and every little bit of the pieces (some) in the film.)
6. Hunchback of Notre Dame and Les Miz by Victor Hugo (these are both tragic stories written by one author that will make you cry)
7. Gone With The Wind by Margaret Mitchell (I know this is so tragic that I already watched the film last year and I already heard of the sequels written by two different authors were published, but none prevailed; for this real one was a stand-alone. I know some wanted a sequel...)
8. Titanic Movie Novelization (I already seen the ship going to sink in like so many times in my life that it felt like a climax to me that I just want to see the movie trailer first before I have to read this book. You will cry by the time the ship sinks.)
9. 13 Reasons Why (I know the movie's going to heat up - Selena Gomez is starring in this film adaptation. This really is about committing suicide. Family Experience Alert: My mom almost committed suicide when she was a teenager.)
10. The Book Thief by Markus Zusak (This is such a good story of a boy in the book (a girl in a film) named Death who was a Book Thief.)
11. Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank (I had read the excerpt while at Sylvan, this means that I had to read this book.)
12. Animal Farm and 1984 by George Orwell (I know both books are terrible from my peers surrounding me. It was so horrific that I will be "forced" to do this piece of a scum bucket task.)
13. Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card (This is really disappointing that it's like Star Wars Episode IV meets Starship Troopers and Sonic Colors combined in such an political way of being the next 2001: A Space Odyssey. You will cry at the end of this book, whether or not to can't wait for the sequel to rent at the library.)

Thanks for reading this list and the Broke and the Bookish will bring to you live next week for Books That Will Make You Swoon. Also on my 18th birthday, I will get one suprising review for you to read. I will see you next time. Bye guys!

Just a Little Update of Book Reviews #1

Breaking News: Lauren wanted to read Moby Dick, but I uncovered the top and she pulled it out of the box. It was such an okay thing for me to do, but we wished we want the library of our own for free. In Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, I learned that knowledge is power and that I am so glad this increased the chance of scholarships more than what I did in Girl Rising. The men opened up a technical library for workers to come in and check-out-and-in with the books they want to rent in the end of the Season Six ender. If I were to buy a children's bookshelf, that would be a lot easier for Daniel and Joseph to look at.

Free Update: Changes are ahead and you just got to be there.

Frozen Movie Review

        This movie is really an moral story for kids who still believe in fairy tales, but anyways this is how Disney made the film. They skim-read "The Snow Queen" by Hans Christain Andersen and just basically discarded to make Jennifer Lee to write the script, so they adopted from story-to-film just so to make it 100% cute for my mom to love it. I know this film is loosely based on the fairy tale, is because I already read a story last year and it came from the big purple book with over 969 pages of Andersen's Complete Fairy Tales. The songs burst into my mind like an never-ending Broadway musical kiddie-style, but the song "Let It Go" is very popular although it also played at the end credits.
        This literally gave me ideas about what to do with my story taking place and what ifs. For example: "What if the young woman had a girl with powers inherited from her 'boy of the dreams'?" The answer: Same story, more YA and darkness, less ice but the ending was supposed to change completely once when I write the end of Part 1 Act 2 of Imaginary Friend Revealed. The girl never saves the kingdom because she had died, not knowing what to make control of this. And plus, why did the tragedy transformed into a complete "happily ever after" cliche? At first, my peers said "That was very sad." but then, when I saw the movie, the plot changes paces and the events go around from one shot to another, it never predicts to me it was like a book unread and it was very suprising that it didn't turn out to be sad, but instead Elsa cried to warm her kingdom and melt all of the snow away. And the cheesy snowman was named after the count from "A Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket".
        I like the film, even though it was made for kids, I still remember how to compare and contrast between a literary piece and film. For example: I love The Lightning Thief book version better than a boring cheesy family-friendly film, I like the movie Contact better than a novel, I had never read Pride and Prejudice but I already saw the sappy 2005 film in like so many times that it made me a bit irritating, or I already read 2001: A Space Odyssey before like when I was in seventh grade, but I never got to watch the movie. For more information of Comparing-and-Contrasting between a literary piece and a movie, this is what reactants surrounding me saw: In The Great Gatsby, in the book, Gatsby was very darkening that the girls from English class sophomore year were like "Ugh, I want a handsome version of it." In the film (the 1974 version), Gatsby had changed his character to very handsome-like just so that they were like "Yeah, I like it!" I believe the mansion is very dark in the book, but in the film, it was very brightened. In The Lightning Thief, the people did the same reaction as I did. Simone said that it was the worst film ever and Lauren was like "No! It never happened, for the sequels are going to be for the better or for the worse." I guess the sequels are going to be better, but in The Sea of Monsters, Annabeth's hair was now blonde and it was starting to pick up to where the book series was at. According to YA Book Queen, she watched the movie version first before she read a book version. When she read a book version of the Lightning Thief, her perspective completely changed. Also, I watched Ella Enchanted the movie first in the late 2000s like when I was turning 14 in 2010 before I read a book version of it in the summer of 2012. I loved the movie back then. The book version of Ella Enchanted completely changed my perspective that I was like "Hmmm, it was compared to the movie. That was different from what I expected it to be." If I dare watch the movie version again, I will be like "Nah, that was way too cheesy for me to watch. It's just for little girls who loves Disney princesses so much." Miramax skim-read it, discarded it and made it into yet another boring cheesy family-friendly film as much as the whole entire High School Musical series. They murdered it for heaven's sake, shame, shame, shame on Miramax, Miramax, Miramax.
        There are some complete changes of some literary pieces. In Disney's The Hunchback of Notre Dame, the Disney company skim-read a book by Victor Hugo and discarded it to make a movie suitable for kids and as a result: they completely changed the ending. Disney made the Little Mermaid to do the same thing to create. I hate happily-ever-afters, even with Twilight. Twilight was all about Bella falling in love with a sparkling, wet, hairy vampire named Edward; in the end, they got married, had Renesmee, had Bella turn into a vampire and save the state of Washington in a lame and most annoying pretendable way. My mom told me not to read any paranormal stuff, but I am so glad I never read it is because Twilight Saga by Stephanie Meyer was a bad reputation of Washington state, what do you expect? Nobody in the saga died. Sorry Twihards, you better read Maximum Ride instead and just get it over with. You will change your perspective completely, like YA Book Queen did when she read the Percy Jackson series. I already read The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants by Anne Brashares and it was like a better story than Twilight. I just can't wait for the sequel to rent from the library, though I never saw the movie before but I had seen the movie trailer just so to promote me to get into this book over last summer. My sisters hated it, but I love it. It's really a fun read to enjoy.
        Back to the movie review, in conclusion, what I enjoyed the most about Frozen is very catchy and so classy enough to have autistic people, trusted grown-ups and young kids to go sit down, relax and watch the show to enjoy. 4/5 stars. Seen on January 10, 2014.

113 Days Left Until The Ultimate Warning of Them All - Spring Tour

The new year kicked off with printing out stuff to turn it in. I was very glad I sped up time until like more than a half hour to try for reading the story of "The Princess and the Goblin". When I reached to where I left off, I think I should predict what happens next? Is the eight-year old Irene going to prick the finger from the spindle like Briar Rose from Sleeping Beauty coming up for later use? Or is this really what is going to happen next? I mean come on... what's up with the work for the next two weeks. Oh well, here come the Finals.

Top Ten Goals/Resolutions For 2014

Top Ten Tuesdays was dedicated to the Broke and the Bookish.

This year, I got a plan for my world of imagination and books besides the bonuses and what-nots.

1. Do the prequels to Maximum Ride: The Complete Saga sometime around 2014. It has to be two.
2. Where She Went by Gayle Forman. Yup, definitely a sequel from so-last year's read of If I Stay.
3. The Heroes of Olympus. Really, is this exactly what my sister Simone "forced" me to read?! Hah! The last installment is coming soon in nine months or less.
4. The rest of the fairy tales, Narnia and Arabian Nights. Are you kidding me? Why is this taking so long to finish it up just in time for Enchanted and beyond?
5. Dragons in Our Midst, Penelope, Undercover and Stardust. I had never seen the films of Penelope and Stardust before, but I had to read the books first.
6. Girl in a Cage and Princess Academy. I barely read Girl in a Cage, but I heard one part of Princess Academy. It really was a past, but to sum things up, I had to read them.
7. The rest of the Merlin trilogy by James Mallory. I had to read the last two; but oh well, I read Merlin's Mistake before.
8. The Hobbit. I had seen the films, but the lyrics to the song in the beginning of the book was different.
9. The rest of Maximum Ride. I had to go and stop at #7 to hold onto the last book until Enchanted is 100% completely done.
10. The rest of the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants series and the rest of the Uglies tetralogy.
11. Shakespeare stuff. I was part of the Thespian world since last year, but lucky me I must be new with minimal knowledge. Use sparknotes.com!
12. Enchanted and beyond... it needs to be unlocked after all of the adventures were complete in the main storyline to move on to its ultimate and ongoing phrase yet.

And finally, happy reading and may the odds be ever in your favor!

EXTRA: The Adventures of Tom Sawyer Dalmatian Press Edition Book Review

        What a good classic, but it was an easy and a quick read you will own at the Dollar Store. If you recognized Tom Sawyer when you're a kid, you may carry on with the story to your kids with this classic. It's been cherished and very well-done written for older elementary students, but younger elementary students may find the book interesting if they're at the second grade reading level or more. Even though it was a quick bonus received from Dad, I think I perhaps may be ready for every single detail later in the future to find the true meaning of a book. I guess the adaptation for the Dalmatian Press seems fine and it's a quick read for over two hours. Previous classics from Dalmatian I read last year were Anne of Green Gables (I also read the Illustrated Junior Library Masterpiece Collection uncut with some illustrations), Oliver Twist (I also read the Sterling uncut edition of the book), Alice in Wonderland (one of my favorite childhood books and several adaptations I enjoyed), Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm and The Wizard of Oz. And that was the first ever intermission break double feature, thanks for reading and I'll see you next time. Kudos! xD

Chapter 5: A December to Remember Part 4: Christmas Time to Accept Gifts from Each Other

        Monday, I woke up and enjoyed myself watching Isle of the Midnight Sun, but I got ready for the day and headed out to wrap-up the presents I bought. I wrapped up my presents while I listened to the music but once when it stopped, I grabbed the Nook tablet and it said that it needs connection so I turned it off and just keep wrapping without the music - yes, it's just silence. When afternoon came, we shopped at the 99 cent store and Hancock Fabrics. There we bought some goodies and three fabrics. When we go to Rite Aid, I see Simone checking to see if she's a normal person. She's still normal. I bring 3 satin tapesters for Mom to buy. Mom got the rest taken care of as I go out. We all go out and we went home so Lauren had to wrap up her presents she bought while I chilled out. While I chilled out, I then hear the footsteps. I think the person put the box down on the doorstep. When the truck leaves, I grabbed a box on the doorstep and put the box down on the living room table. I wonder why I'm looking forward to fairies, curses, dragons galore and ghost love letters of what-nots.
        I continued to just chill out, but I hear Dad going home. I spent time with my family the whole evening until 11pm where Dad and Simone started to wrap up surprises and I headed down to Simone's room where I can wait for the presents to be delivered but it takes too long; for Simone handed me a book to read. I call it a bonus: I So Don't Do Mysteries by Summy. Bonus books for goodreads reviews do not count, but instead it can be exclusive from my blog. I stayed up until 12:11 in the morning.
        Tuesday is Christmas Eve, as I woke up when the birds chirp very nicely and smoothly. As I warm-up for the wrap-up of Treasure Island with the last 11 pages, last Advent candle and post-adventure discussion from my blog and goodreads, I had to use the bathroom and just so to finish something up. When I finished the reviews, I got ready for the day and yes, there's some wrapping-up big surprises and what-nots to do so.
        Later, in the day, my whole family came to church for the Candlelight service which is very nice. After the hour of having the misconceptions go away, we began to go home. We passed the Snowflake Lane because the finale of flying colors is already over for a year. We missed out because we think we might have a prank on what the heck is going on in there but to be perfectly honest with you, I shouted to people saying, in like "Merry Chritmas! Happy 2014! God bless you!" I'm in like, "Yeah, maybe." We sorta missed out on all the fun we enjoyed on non-stop X-Mas music on Spirit 105.3 because we skipped ahead and we listened to a bit on our way home from the passing of Snowflake Lane. I was a little depressed that the Music Choice on non-stop X-Mas music made me want to feel hapless all Christmas Day long. I was disappointed by "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus" song and "Santa Baby" song which makes me feel irritating and so annoying that I want to list this one onto my top 10 most hated/annoying songs of all time above "Just Be Friends" from J-Pop and behind HSM's "All for One" and YouTube's "PBJ Time". #3 is times a charm so it's a tie. Finally, I got a composition book for Christmas.
         Christmas morning, we unwrapped all of the gifts, but my favorite gift was my nerdy pillow with my imaginary friend in which I'm not daring to spoil it until it is revealed on one of the climax posts of all time in my blog. Hint: his favorite color was light brown. That's the first hint I unlocked after Treasure Island but we'll get into more hints later in my blog. Hey, I got an idea for hints. My first hint was a favorite color. Check! Other than a pillow, I got Undercover and The Book Theif for Christmas, but my dad gave me some extra bonus: The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (Dalmatian Press Edition). I guess it was exactly a good idea that I might be getting into a book, but I called it a bonus. Bonuses do not count on the goodreads reviews according to the main storyline rules of pure imagination and my list of goals I'm trying to accomplish on. My sister Lauren had a book I just read in one week and a half. It was dedicated to YA Literacy Week of 2013 (April 14-20) in my opinion. You heard me right: "The Fault in Our Stars" by John Green. My dad recommemded this book for high school girls, but Lauren thinks the comprehension was too easy so she can try for it I guess. The rest of my book gifts were delayed for the next day which is December 26, the day after Christmas. Me and my dad ordered them on Super Saturday December 21 - the winter solistice day.
        A few days later, New Year's Eve came. We had the last hours of 2013 writing resolutions, waiting, did the countdown, made some noise, watched the Seattle Needle fireworks, and stayed up until 1:15pm. The next morning deals with Rose Parade and the granddaddy of all football bowls (The Rose Bowl). Today, we placed the Christmas decorations away because the holidays are 100% over. We decided to make room for a new bookshelf which is mammoth-taking. Although we wrapped up the holidays, I don't think whether or not a van or a Explorer may want to clean out. Happy Holidays, merry Christmas, happy 2014 and sorry I'm late about this folks.

Song: Need a Little Love by Hanah Montana

EXTRA: I So Don't Do Mysteries Bonus Book Review

This is my first ever bonus that's straight for the blog. Hope you enjoy.

I So Don't Do Mysteries by Barrie Summy

        It is spring break season. Sherry's dad got remarried to The Ruler and went on the honeymoon, but however not so long ago, earlier, Sherry's mom died because she was addicted to coffee up until now that she just ate her food in real-life; for Sherry was questioned of what caused her mom's death. She doesn't do mysteries. One day, while her dad and stepmom go on the honeymoon, Sherry goes off to San Diego to do the whole rhino experience and figure the mystery out before her mom's afterlife was gone for good, but other than that Sherry, her cousins Junie and Amber, and Kendra enjoyed fun at the Wild Animal Park. Josh didn't show up until later on in the book during the vacation. It was a good ghost story with a middle school twist.

        I really think the book was that much sappy enough to say "Eek. Ack. Ick." even though it was that related to The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants and Sherlock Holmes combined. I already read the quick version of Sherlock Holmes when I was a sophomore, even though it had three short stories in it, our whole entire class wrote the original mystery stories dedicated to Sherlock Holmes. I was one of them to figure things out, but lucky me I created Cherry the Detective for the missing picture from the art gallery in Paris, France situation.

        What about the ghost? I already saw so many ghosts in LPs from Justin the water ghost to colorful ghosts that come out of the grave in like a few real-life minutes or less. I imagine Sherry's mom as a ghost in pure clear white. I remember one of my sketches when my grandpa shaved on the mirror, it was completely the same color as Sherry's mom.

        Celine Dion. That woman who sang the main theme from Titanic (My Heart Will Go On). Come on, she showed up to Sherry and friends while at the dinner during the saving rhinos experience. Sheesh... this is so embarrasing. What the heck is wrong with me?!

        The saving rhinos and bird talk. Well, how about the crash and Western-like stuff that keeps happening like yeah? >sigh< I just learned the new kind of meat - rhino meat. The last time I just learned that new kind of meat is whale meat. It's from Moby Dick. What do you expect? Did you know how many rhinos are there as of April 2008 and now? Oh, well. There goes nothing but turquoise + sea green Keflit.

        I really sorta liked it is because that's very odd to me it was very juvenile-like back in the 2000s where iPods took place. No wonder this book was taking place in spring 2008. It could make my day back then, even though my sister Simone borrowed it for me. I really had accepted that the cover color was turquoise + sea green, the same color as the room walls of Sherry. Very excellent coloring of the cover. I believe this book is for tween girls and middle school girls who don't do mysteries. Also, it was recommended to teen girls with Resource programming including me in which I am done with the book, believe me; that's exactly the bonus. It was very logical for me to improve my thinking, critical, and problem-solving skills. On a scale of 1-10, I give it 8/10.
