After Dark by Haruki Murakami





For the first time I don't want to read a review of a book. Foe people who knew me, I would often ask what happen in a certain movie or book. I wanted to know the ending, I don't care being spoiled of he story. But Murakami's work made me change sides. After reading "after dark" I totally fell in love with his wordplay. I wanted to read all of his books first hand. This is so not me. I tend to read reviews, synopsis, and plots so that I'll have a gauge of the story is about, and I want to know the ending before reading a book. (really mental right?)

But I change for the better, suddenly I want that feeling of excitement, and wonder what will happen. I finished "After Dark" in one sitting  because it triggered my intellectual curiosity. It has the right blend of suspense, comedy, budding love story, family issue, and everything that me turn the page non- stop. I admire Murakami for his work and made me hate myself for reading his books only now. I don't have questions left hanging because he wrote it so marvelously that I love the flow of the story as well as the ending. Well, I love open ended endings because there is  place for your imagination to run wild.

Murakami is my new favorite next to Dan Brown, the authors who made my reading speed fast.

SG Diaries DAY 1

Day 1 Excited and all, everyone woke up early. We had our free breakfast which consisted of toast and coffee. We discovered Singapore’s Kaya here. Our original plan was to explore Little India but to our dismay the   Sri Srinivasa Perumal Temple   that we visited was under construction.  We then went on to Mustafa Centre  where we look for pasalubong and chocolates (we didn’t buy yet). We had our lunch at Food Republic in City Square Mall Singapore. We are overwhelmed with the foods in front of us and we had a hard time to decide what to eat. ( don’t misunderstand we are not picky we just want to eat everything hahaha).  We rested for a while and waited there until the Singapore Tourist Pass office at Farrer Park station opened. We purchased our 3 day pass and went to out next destination – Bugis. It was raining when we arrived at Bugis, but the One Dollar Ice cream lifted our spirit. We tasted various flavors and I could say that all were delicious. We purchased some

BTS x ARMY

Its been  months now that I came across BTS in facebook. I cant really remember exactly how, perhaps random searches and all or because I liked so many Korean related pages and somehow it popped up. But ever since then, I started to like this boys so much. I adore them instantly and I proclaimed myself a true blue ARMY (BTS's fandom name). Despite the language barrier, their music captivates me in ways I cant fathom. The melody is somehow loud for my taste (my original taste per se) and I'm not a fan of hip hop and rap before. I just realized that I wanted their music, dance moves and everything. I watched the MVs and ARMY Bombs videos endlessly I cant imagine that I'll be a fangirl of boys that I cant even call as OPPA (coz im way older LOL). But they are the one that makes me happy, relieved and relax. Learning about their hardships and all, beginning from the bottom and standing right up gives me courage and hope to do so as well. I never connect t
