I will friend back anyone, really, provided that you comment here and tell me why you want to. I can never describe what it is I usually post because well, inefficiency is my bestie. However, I am known to ramble about anything and everything -- sometimes incoherently, because I'm Asian and English hates me. You can find my interests here.

Oh, and just for your information, I don't like people who bash other people's work (particularly fanfics & fanarts) to the point that it aches to read, and hate people who make sure to spend some time to share it with others in communities (such as badfic_quotes/bad_fanfiction). It's okay if you talk about it on your own journal, in a f-locked post. The idea just doesn't sit well with me. Concrits are a-okay, though! :D

Also, I like gay-love. A lot. If you're against it, then we probably wouldn't be able to mingle well.

After stalling for so long, and getting distracted splendidly by Tumblr, I finally took the time to read this book last night. Due to The Avengers and Loki, I was craving for a comic-ish book. Not in a sense how it is structured and laid out (because I still don't know how to read comics), but rather in terms of the themes. I was bored so I Googled a list of best gay books, and Hero by Perry Moore is listed in AfterElton's readers choice. It is #5 on the list or something, and I basically squealed when I found this book. It's perfect for my current mood, but I was still worried because I am hardly interested in Adventure or Fantasy book, because I love books that remain grounded on reality, and to be truly honest, I want to read two men doing the dirty. If I were asked the percentage of sexiness this book has, I would probably answer 5%, because really, what is kissing and some petting compared to some gay books nowadays?

However, I was surprised to find that I thoroughly enjoyed this book. No, enjoyed would be too weak a word to describe my feelings for this book -- but fact is, I don't know how to describe my overall feelings for this book. I just can't. Whatever the elusive word is, one thing for sure is that it is positive. I love this book. As I was walking towards the ending, which was packed with so much (can even be too much) emotions and actions, I was already in a turmoil of emotions. I was laughing, and then I was crying, and then I felt relief, and when it finally ended, all I felt was happiness and I was so fucking content. Content that Thom finally found his happy ending, content that the book is a perfect blend of everything. Not too heavy on the angst, not too heavy on the fluff -- just a perfect balance.

The selling point of this book, for me, has got to be how Thom descended into acceptance of his sexuality. It was hard for him, I could tell, and I love the fact that the author managed to convey his struggle without being too dramatic. Yes, it was painful, but Thom, though having a hard time with it, strive to just bear it. He is a boy of 18, so young for all the bullshit that was happening to him. I don't want to spoil too much, but when he tried to run away the second time, when he knocked on his father's door with a heavy heart hoping to see him for the last time, I sobbed like a baby.

I'm sad to admit that I didn't purchase this book. I got it for free from a website. I would've bought the eBook if iTunes had it, but only the audiobook was available and for a first timer in reading this genre, I thought it was best for me to set the tone of this book on my own. I am purchasing the paperback version, though. I love this book so much for me not to.

Livejournal you literally could offer me nothing lately, but still I have to update because I don't want my request for membership in communities to be rejected so I gotta be active and stuff. Never say Marlina never whore herself for free eBooks.

Why are you making me ditch my other fandoms? Why are you perfect? Why are you so adorable? Oh my god. I should have never watched The Avengers. You're ruining my life.

I don't use my livejournal for blogging anymore, but I don't know how to reach poppyonmars other than here, cos girl, you deleted your twitter. Why? *cries* I received your package today and lemme just say this THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SENDING IT OMG I FUCKING LOVE THE LIP GLOSS. I MEAN I JUST MENTIONED THE LIP GLOSS TO YOU AND YOU SENT IT? I FUCKING LOVE YOU WOMAN. FOREVER AND EVER. Omfg two days of vacation and a load of shopping, followed by this? *sobs* I AM IN HEAVEN.

Real life and exams are in the near future, but I don't give a damn right now. THANKS TANYA!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. ♥

One of those commercials that make me cry.

Wow, livejournal has never looked like a delectable virgin in my eyes. It's been such a long time!

Oh what to talk about? Oh, I cancelled my application to UK. I don't know, it's just too hard to get the application done. I do not know why, it's just hard. There's the school, there's the whole credit card problem and also, the school. I generally do not wanna go there, because heck, it's too far, and too big for someone like me. I love my mom, I wanna be near her.

Speaking of credit cards, ugh, I don't have one. I was going to use my brother's debit card, but since I cancelled my plan, I don't know what to do with the (equivalent to) 22 pounds I gave him in cash. I was gonna buy books online, but guess what? They don't recognize his card. I don't know if it's because it's a debit card or if he needs a paypal account set up, or the bank we're using is just too secluded for them, but hey, it doesn't work. I totally got my hopes up and ended up reading an excerpt of a book, and got so wound up and stoked -- only to find out that I can't friggin finish it. *sobs* I am so gonna apply for a debit card soon in the future.

Oh, oh, oh! The good thing is, after listening to me rambling about our local Uni and how if you do well enough in the first two years, you'll surely be sent abroad, my mom's expectation of me getting a scholarship has reasonably lowered. Thank you so much for listening to my prayers God!

I miss everyone so much! And sorry yellow_tshiirt for going MIA on you. But hey miss pretty, I see that you're getting active on tumblr and have started posting pics from the direct source! *winks*

My exams are coming up soon. Wish me luck. xoxo
