The Beginning

I am so satisfy with Legend of Korra : The Beginnings episode ! For the whole of Book 2, I have been cringing at Korra's actions. I found myself screaming at the screen because of Korra's foolishness and irrationality, so this episode really made me super happy.

After 6 episodes of not explaining why there are dark spirits roaming the human universe , we finally found out why and how the first ever Avatar came to be. This episode really help move the plot forward because honestly we seen the writers stray away from the plot in Book 1 because of the teenage dramas a.k.a those love-triangle/square, those unnecessary dramas between the characters that have not much to do with the story plot. Quite a number of the audience was not at all impressed by Book 2 and frankly, I can see why. The battle Korra had with Amon did not teach her ANYTHING about being rational.

Maybe this little spirit thing she have with Wan and knowing Wan's story can really teach her a thing or two. Throughout the Book 1 and Book 2 (it is not yet ending yet. ), I don't notice much development with Korra's character. In TLAB, you can really notice how each member of Gaang develop in each of the episode. Sadly in TOK, there isn't much development in characters.

The amnesia she had was a perfect excuse for the writers to go back from the very start and explain to us what Book 2 was really about. And it did a fantastic job !

There is still 2 more episodes in Book 2 and I am so so excited for it. Maybe the last two episodes will impress me and the viewers ! I am not saying that LOK is a bad animated TV series, it is just not what I expected especially when it is from the writers that brought TLAB alive.

The animation in that episode was stunning ! The details in most of the scenes are really good. It is obvious they did their research on Asian culture because the buildings in the episode are how it is suppose to be in the olden days. They didn't change it, in fact they show people the beauty of olden Asian arts (did I say it out correctly ? ). This is one of the moments that made me appreciate my culture even more. Studio Mir's works is honestly one of the best !

LOOK HOW NICE THE ANIMATION IS ! 

I like Wan. For me, a good character and a good storyline are the keys in capturing someone's interest. Wan is a nice balance between Korra's rashness and Aang's peacefulness. I really want to see more of Wan's adventures. Hahah. Steven Yeun did such a good job with voicing Wan. It just felt so suitable for Wan you know... 

I really do hope Zuko and his daughter appear in some part of the series. I am curious about them. I also do hope we get to see more interaction between Korra and Asami. It feels that Asami and Korra are not even friends. It would be nice to see Korra and Asami interacting instead of just Makorra, makorra. I am pretty sure people are getting sick of it already. Don't mistaken me as I do like Makorra but sometimes showing Korra interacting with another characters is good too ya'll know. 

Right now, I am so so anxious for the next episode. 

Getting off topic to talk about a little of my life here. My dad doesn't allow me to go out and work. He didn't even bother hearing what I was about to say, he just said no once he heard job come out of my mouth. And frankly I am so pissed, why can't he listen to me and see stuff in my perspective once in a while ? I need some job experience right ?! When other people are learning to be independent, I am trapped in this hellhole I call home. This is complete bullshit. HE DOESN'T EVEN WANT TO LISTEN TO WHAT I WANT TO SAY. This is the reason why I want to leave this house so badly ! I don't even get freedom ! They complain about me locking myself in the room, maybe because it is them that is why I lock myself in my room! Ughh, I am so bloody pissed. It is like they don't want me to be independent ! UASHJDHS 

Stopping here before I break the keyboard. Till next time, bye.

First day of freedom.

First day of freedom and I am already bored out of my life. So technically when I am having the major exams, I somehow manage to find a tons of stuff to do on the computer but now that I have finally finish my examination, I can't find shit to do. This is bad.

Anyway, my friend asked me whether I wanted a job at the cafe she is working in. Of course I want a job, I need the extra bucks. The problem is my dad, I have to ask him and I am about 99% percent sure he won't let me work. I need to somehow convince him to let me gain some experience. Oh please please please let me go apply for a job this holiday :/

I am seriously bored already. I am tired and having a headache. Such a nice thing to have on the first day of freedom huh ?

Anyhowwww, I literally has nothing to post right now. Sorry. :/

Wish me luck ???!?

Last paper tomorrow !

I can feel the weight of this year's studies slowly lifting up from my shoulder as tomorrow is my last paper. I don't even want to study anymore. Maybe I will just wing it tomorrow ? hahaha

I have so many storybooks to read and shows to watch. I am so so so so excited. Yet I have to study a bit during this year end holiday as next year is my major exam and I can't screw that up or I can say bye-bye to my future. I feel like I am going to end up lonely and sad this holiday but we'll see right ? We'll see. I am hoping my friends will remember my existence... D:

I am trying not to get myself too involve with Twitter. It was going well for 4 days then poof I am back again. Like nope. My hard work isn't going to flush down into the toilet again Nope. Nope. Nope.

I should probably get some good night sleep but nah, I will just watch a TV and read some history. Till next post ! Sorry for writing such a short one, I have nothing to write at all. NOTHING.

Still in exam week. Ughh.

So I am so disappointed with myself because I sneak a peek into Legend Of Korra episode when I obviously promise myself that I won't watch till after exams.

The mini sneak peak I saw was Mako and Korra breaking up and Korra lost her memories. The latter was kinda unexpected and surprisingly to me that I didn't predicted that because I always tend to predict this kind of stuff in TV shows. Maybe because so far Legend of Korra didn't disappoint me with used plotline and what so what ? It will be exciting to see how amnesia works in the Avatar universe.

When I sneak a peak and saw Korra ended up in the Fire Nation (just guessing because of the clothes the guys wore.) , I was utterly excited because Zuko and Iroh ! We didn't get to see much of Iroh in Season 1 (He appeared in season 2 for a while. I didn't watch that episode too. D: ) and I really like his character (maybe because his voice actor is the same as Zuko's. THE VOICE ) and really wants to see more of his character. If Korra is in fire nation then maybe Iroh will pop out ? Zuko, don't even get me started on Zuko. Zuko is still alive based on the first season and honestly I miss the Gaang, it will be nice to see Zuko again. Super duper excited for it, but I still haven't watch the episode, as I said, I cheated and sneak a peak into the video. :(

 I will catch with tons of shows after my exams is over so so so I am so anxious for exam to end. Examination has made me sleep-deprived and generally I am so so so exhausted. For the past two days, I have been sleeping at 3 something and waking up at 6.30 and I don't get to have nap time. Even when I do, it is usually like 45 minutes or an hour. Technically, I have been only sleeping for 7 hours in two days. We have only one paper tomorrow, so I can hopefully go to sleep earlier tonight. But then after school tomorrow, I have to study hardcore because next week is going to be super duper torturous.

Well then , I'll stop here. Night !

House of Hades ???

Finally got House of Hades but I have to wait 14 days more to read it. Ish, stupid exams. And then there is Mark of Athena which I forgot a bit so I have to reread it. What a drag :(

To be honest, I am not particularly fond of Rick's writing. Ever since my friend told me that the way he writes is kinda simple. I kinda lost interest in it a bit. The storyline is still great and I guess he does have to write simple because his books are widely known aim towards kids (I guess)

AM I THE ONLY ON WHO DOESN'T LIKE PIPER ? I don't know why but I am not fond of her. She didn't annoy me much during the first book, The Lost Hero, but when I read Mark of Athena, I found myself rolling my eyes at everything she does and just getting plain annoyed by some of her actions. Hmmm. My friend, Christopher,  likes her as her character and claims that she helps them by charm-speaking. She kinda reminds me of those overly attached girlfriends ?? When I reread Mark of Athena, I will try to say why I don't like her because frankly, I forgot most of the battles in there. The only few things I remember well is Annabeth and Percy's moments. (I WILL GO DOWN WITH THIS SHIP )

I am thinking of picking up Game of Thrones after exam and after I have enough money for cosplay but so many people says on Goodreads that is gruesome. I seen a few episode of Game of Thrones and I can admit it is gruesome. TV doesn't show everything written in the book so I assume the book is more gruesome that the TV series. The book is the type of heavy reading books. So hmmm, still deciding over it.

Anymore, I am off to study while watching some youtube videos. Wish me luck !

Tears.

I watched the Finn Tribute episode today and I cried. The tears keeps streaming down.

Let's not assume stuff. I am not a Glee diehard fan. I used to watch Glee season 1 and 2 then I stopped cause it didn't interest me much anymore. When I found out Cory died, I was shocked & sad. At first I thought it was already false rumor but when someone literally confirm his death and I saw the picture of Lea crying on his coffin, I felt my heart break a bit. To know they made a episode tribute to him, I just know I had to watch the episode.

The whole episode was just heartbreaking. I just cried throughout the whole thing. The part when Finn's mom talk about losing a child got to me so badly, I kinda just burst into tears there. And the part when Santana just lose her strong and tough cover-up and just breaks down in the choir room. The episode was just heartbreaking and Lea's cover of Make you feel my love is just full of emotions.

Some people said that it is pathetic how the fans cry over some celebrity's death when there are so many people out there dying and said that he deserve it. What they don't understand is that the fans watched the shows since season 1 and has grown to love Cory as Finn and as a person, so knowing he passed away is like knowing a good friend of you has died. I feel disgusted when I saw someone saying that he was asking for it because it is confirm that he was drug overdose. No matter what, don't you ever say that about someone who died. He was trying to overcome this addiction and sometimes addiction tends to take over.

I don't appreciate how some people are just seeing how he die instead of the good he has done. Yes, every single life is important but please do not act like some "kind" person who says a tons of bullshit about people should be crying over people who are starving to death instead of a celebrity. Respect his death or memories the same way you want people to do so when your time ends. I am not saying you shouldn't be sad over other people, I am just saying that please do not go to people's videos and just plain out saying that his death is not worth it to be sad over. That is just plain rude.

I don't know what encourage me to write this post but I just wanted to write about this.
Life is a precious thing, isn't it ?

Ughh. Exam will be the death of me.

Sorry I haven't been updating. Like I said in my previous post, my finals are here so I won't be able to go on the net for a while. But since today was a off day, I thought I should at least update a bit ? Don't really know what to say right now.

I am suppose to wake up early today but I overslept again. Ish, what is wrong with me ? I also have been having some weird dreams lately. HELP ?? I don't know what I ate or drink but so many weird things in my dream. D:

I have guitar class later, which I am kinda sick of. When I told my mom I wanna quit because I don't think I am learning much from my teacher. She says I always quit things half-way but I seriously don't think it is a good thing to let me continue. I could always try to learn myself in the future but not now, I am exhausted everyday and I feel lazy to go class everyday. Plus it will be saving money too ? I really don't know what I should do.... I am so stressed over this.

I will stop here. This post is just a short one because exams. Ughh

If I stay in a four season country, my favourite season will be Autumn.

I thought I would write a post as I am not actually attempting to study right now so why the hell not right ??

I am so so so so so so excited for House of Hades and Allegiant which is coming out this month ! The only thing that sadden me is the fact that for three books straight I bought the wrong cover for Heroes of Olympus series. I bought the lame cover by penguin because I couldn't wait for the Disney cover to release which is gorgeous by the way. That is what I regret most but then, if I waited for the Disney cover, I have to wait like 5 months at least ? So I don't know but the Disney cover is so beautiful. BOOK PORN I TELL YOU !

8tracks is seriously one of the best creation ever made. I am not one who has unlimited space in my computer or phone so I can't put much music in it but 8tracks are there to save me. There are people out there who just have the same music taste than me (even better I reckon) so finding playlist I like is easy as abc. I am actually spending my time not studying finding nice playlist for studying (what the hell is wrong with me).

Talking about studying, I am seriously so depressed over the effort I made this week. Nothing goes in my head and I am too preoccupy with the computer to even care about studying. I have very very low willpower and I hate myself so much for it :(

I should stop spending my extra time on the computer and actually go study now because I have only 3 days left. Ughh, absolutely nerve-racking. Can't wait for the finals to end because once it ends, it is time to curl myself  in the warm blanket and just watch Attack On Titans, Legend of Korra, etc and just read my books with a cup of tea. Hmm, sounds like heaven.

Anyway, I need to go study now or I will fail in my exams. Night !
