Big bang's teaser photos for Monster MY, which will be released on June 03, 2012

Daseung

Woah, topless again Dae?! You will be the death of me. Lmao.

Last, but definitely NOT the least.

Seungri

It would've been better if Panda was focused. I can't even see his face. Gaaah!

Taeyang

I was looking for any sign of "fire" or "sunlight" which I think is the theme of the teaser photos, then I realized, that Taeyang...literally means Sol/Solar=Sun. (Sana. nakatopless na lang din sya. Bonus)

TOP (my love)

My first reaction when I saw this: YG, you trolling me or what?! What the heck. His face isn't focused, and he isn't even facing the camera. For goodness sake. Trolol. Papa YG really knows how to tease eh?

Goth-ish and Vampire-ish for Tabi?! 

G Dragon

Can anything get any fiercer than this?! Sorry Tabi, but this IS my favorite among the five. Phew. Credits ti GD's hair. LOLs.

Romeo and Juliet - William Shakespeare (The Quote Book 5)

 After a strong urge to just dump this book and forget that I ever started reading it...I've finally finished it! I was battling with myself  because half of me wants to stop punishing myself by reading it since I don't even understand some of the words, and the other half of me which screams, "that for the LOVE of Shakespeare, please finish the book!" I guess the good angel won, so here I am...saying what I think about Romeo and Juliet, one of the greatest love stories of all time.

To be honest, I was disappointed. Scratch that. VERY disappointed. And at the same time, I was IMPRESSED. Okay, go figure that one. 

Disappointed, because of the plot. Seriously, at 14 years old (if I understood the story right, please, correct me if I'm wrong) Juliet fell madly IN LOVE with Romeo?! (PBB Teens lang ang peg). I mean, Hello?! In our generation, that is called PUPPY LOVE. And here comes Romeo, which fell in love the first time he saw Juliet...considering the fact that during that time..he was currently "in love" with Rosaline. What the heck! Love at first sight?! Even if you felt strongly attached to someone. No. Not plausible for me. Or maybe. I'm just cynical when it comes to these things. Since I have this belief, that teenagers don't fall in love just like that. For me, romantic love develops in a span of years and not in the mere three seconds that you held your eyes together for the first time. Tsk. But, enough of that. Who am I to judge Romeo and Juliet if they really fell in love that fast?! Duh! It's just a story. A fiction. (Affected ako. Bakit?LOL)

IMPRESSED. Yes! Very much. As I've told you earlier, I don't understand half of what the book is saying. It's hard to explain, but even if I don't understand it, I feel what it supposed to mean. I know. It's weird that instead of understanding it, I'm feeling it. But maybe, that made Shakespeare a great writer. 

Quotes (yeah, I found some)

"Is love a tender thing? It is too rough, Too rude, too boist'rous, and it pricks like thorn"

"True, I talk of dreams; Which are the children of an idle brain, Begot of nothing but vain fantasy; Which is as thin of substance as the air, And more inconstant than the wind, who wooes..."

"...Come, gentle night; come, loving, black-brow'd night; Give me my Romeo; and, when he shall die, Take him and cut him out in little stars, And he will make the face of heaven so fine. That all the world will be in love with night, And pay no worship to the garish sun..."

Persuasion - Jane Austen (The Quote Book 4)

After reading Wuthering Heights and got a little bit disappointed, I decided to stick with Austen (for now) since I liked Pride and Prejudice. I chose Persuasion because I got curious after reading its plot summary on Goodreads. I wouldn't write a review for this. Just want to share some "passages" from the book.

"No, it was not regret which made Anne's heart beat in spite of herself, and brought the colour into her cheeks when she thought of Captain Wentworth unshackled and free. She had some feelings which she was ashamed to investigate. They were too much like joy, senseless joy!"

"For the first time, since their renewed acquaintance, she felt that she was betraying the least sensibility of the two. She had the advantage of him in the preparation of the last few moments. All the overpowering, blinding, bewildering, first effects of strong surprise were over with her. Still, however, she had enough to feel! It was agitation, pain, pleasure, a something between delight and misery."

"..Yes, I do. Your countenance perfectly informs me that you were in company last night with the person whom you think the most agreeable in the world, the person who interests you at this present time more than all the rest of the world put together."

"I can listen no longer on silence. I must speak to you by such means as are within my reach. You pierce my soul. I am half agony, half hope. Tell me not that I am too late, that such precious feelings are gone for ever. I offer myself to you again with a heart even more your own than when you broke it, eight years and a half ago. Dare not say that man forgets sooner than woman, than his love has an earlier death. I have loved none but you.  Unjust I may have been, weak and resentful I have been, but never inconstant.....For you alone, I think and plan. Have you not seen this? Can you fail to have understood my wishes?...."

"I was six weeks with Edward, (said he,) and saw him happy. I could have no other pleasure. I deserved none. He enquired after you very particularly; asked even if you were personally altered, little suspecting that to my eye you could never alter"

30 Days Book Challenge - Day 09

Day 09 - A book you've read more than once

A lot, but I guess the most number was:



this was the first Christie I've read...

30 Days Book Challenge - Day 8

Day 08 - Name five absolutely great film adaptations of book.

The Harry Potter Series.

That's SEVEN books and EIGHT movies (Yeah, Alam ko. SOBRA!).

I have seen all the movies except the last one, because I have this crazy notion that if I'd watch it, I'd lost Harry Potter forever. I guess, I want the feeling that there is still something out there that I haven't seen. Something to always look forward too. As to the movies, I think each and everyone of them is GREAT. Considering the fact the you have to create another realm, I think the production staff and the actors did one heck of a good job doing it. 

30 Days Book Challenge - Day 7

Day 07 - A book's that hard to read



I haven't even finished this one. HaHa. I gave up!
The characters were such drama queens and kings.
Beside, I got bored. LMAO.
