Winter is coming

I was told to watch this tons of times by different people but I only had the chance to watch this last week when my bf get to download the entire season on his pc. We watched the whole 10 episodes in 2 days, and can I just say that I got soo preoccupied right after, I couldnt wait for the second season to come.

Im talkin about HBO’s tv series “Game of Thrones” .

I knew this came April of this year ( and truth be told, I never really watch TV these days, we had to resort to the endless DVD or pc download catch up) Its way too late to even try to react lols but its even harder to keep my mouth shut on a movie like this . I honestly love how the story goes and I hate that it took me months to even realize how awesome it was.

The part I love so much is the love story of Khal Drogo and Daenerys Targaryen. (  he’s a badass warlord.. and sexy too!! :p *heart heart* and she’s a Princess .. yea) I love the evolution of their story from fierce  to tender . She wasnt initially attracted to him ( well I wasnt , he looked like he could eat you alive  ) but as the series progress , the turn of events got really exciting  , Dany fell in love with her warrior husband and they had a baby .. ( that died in the end, crap -_- ). Ohh well,  tv series tend to have a lot  twist around em( too many twist that the last person you thought would NEVER get killed, which is ofcourse the major character,  Ned Stark, still died!  But  I gotta admit its one movie i got totally hooked with. (barbs and I talk about it 24 hours since last week, no kiddinn.. )

We just bought the book a week ago and we found out the second book’s already sold out. *wow* I juuuust cant wait for the second season!!

Not one of those books with a “killer” story , but Im reading it. Only becoz.. the book is not too thick that I can finish it in a day.

I bought this during a book sale ( coz Im a fan of Bargain haha).

My Book review :

The story’s about Henry Chester. A wealthy guy who found the 9 year old Effie and marries her eventually ..

That’s it.

Interesting huh?.. ( Nahh, too lazy to write ) but it was all good, seriously. Its a story of a young girl, who finds herself wakin up in the hypocrisy of her husband. Thinkin he was the Puritan that he claims to be. I love the goth-iiish, Victorian feel of the setting. The only thing I hate about this book was that it was totally engaging at first. The middle part was rocky and there are times when I get bored. And the end part was lame. Well not really lame. But almost-lame. Coz Im still very intrigued of what happened to the rest of the characters . So there, Joanne Harris (author of the book) gave me a little torture at that , got me wondrin’  to the very end.

Thursday is the new weekend.Ü

Mmkaaay.. Im postin this just for the heck of postin. Coz its about the end of June and I dont  have an update for my Blog. Haha ( There comes the realization that Im not very creative with topics and stuff.  Fiiiiine. There. Im openly admitting it now. Happy? lol )

Anyway, my off had been a Thursday since last week.. ( which is truly heartbreaking. *sob* for the love of god. ) Coz I dont get to enjoy weekend as much as other people do.

So my bestfriend and I watched Transformers ( 3d) in Greenbelt 3 last night and it was all superrrr! To those people who consider themselves movie junkies, tis one movie you cannot miss. :)

Optimus Prime is one hell of a robot – you know, like robot with the swagger. Ü Yeaa! ( Bumble bee is gay , but i love him too) I added the trailer in case you havent seen it.

5 stars ★★★★★!!
