Sometimes, I do feel like I've got the wrong way. There are some nights that  I wonder  if this was the correct career decision after all. After passing the dreaded board exams I feel like becoming a CPA wasn't really meant for me. I don't like being the office doing debits and credits or worse auditing. Academically, I am good but when it comes to technical application, I know for sure I will suck.   If I could only change the past. But I have faith in the Supreme Being.  Sooner or later, I'll end up exactly where I'm supposed to be, doing something I absolutely, positively love. It could be something not related to accounting. InshaAllah! 

To cast my fears and regrets aside, I have been keeping myself busy reading books these past few weeks. They are my source of relief, the only ones I turn to when I'm depressed and alone!  Books will teach you a great deal about life ( of course it will depend on the kind of books you're into). Above all, books in some ways help solve the mystery of life , so they act as your guide,  true friend and companion. 
Books penned by Stephen King, Terry Brooks, James Patterson

Personally, I really enjoyed the Hunger Games trilogy by Suzanne Collins. It's just spectacular and I can't believe the obsession I had with the series. I can't wait to see the movie next year to see if that lives up to the book. The movie is set to come out on March 23,2012.

For those who haven't read the book, the story centers on Katniss Everdeen from District 12 who must survive a horrible televised fight to the death game. Each year the evil Government of Panem ( post-apocalyptic North America) hosts an event called the Hunger Games  where two tributes - a boy and a girl from each of the twelve districts are forced  to fight in an arena of death. The hunger games are held to remind and ensure that no district makes an attempt at a rebellion.  But Katniss ends up as a symbol of defiance.

Back to the movie, I've gotta say the perfect people were chosen for the movie , to start with we have Jeniffer Lawrence as Katniss Everdeen.

MAY THE ODDS BE EVER IN YOUR FAVOR



Hunger Games : Jeniffer  Lawrence as Katniss Everdeen

The Last Clues in The 39 Clues

After the series introduction of the protagonist way back in 2009, I quitted reading the series for one reason : the middle books slowed down as a lot of time was spent on exploring the world of the Cahills, the secret family that has ruled the word for centuries. Haha. I know that must have been a shallow answer. The true reason behind it is I don't have the leisure time to read books anymore in college except my accounting books. I couldn't even remember where I had left off in the 39 clues. But now that I am finally graduating, I found the urge for me to read books again. That's why I am planning to buy a kindle. Back to the story, a friend of mine told me that nothing in the past eight books can match the surprises in the penultimate volume " The 39 Clues Book 9 : Storm Warning " . The books answers many of the series biggest questions as well as it chronicles its biggest tragedies.  I guess the book is worth the wait. Oh my. I can't wait to read the series I had missed. :)

New Travel Books to Read! Jetting Off to Paris!

I have always loved shopping, not for fancy clothes but for books! I would almost spend all my allowance for books. After my boring history class, I headed to the mall for a new book. I purchased a travel book, The Unofficial Guide to Paris; it's a great travel book for the first time travelers of Paris. If you really want an exceptional Parisian Vacation then this book is the best book for you. It comes handy and light. You'll know about Paris attractions,hotels, cafes and you'd get to know the best deals for your vacation too. The book has already sold 4 million copies. If you are as obsessed as me for a Parisian experience,this book is up for grabs!

The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner- An Eclipse Novella

I’m quite sure that most of you, like me, have never missed a Twilight Series book, or the movies atleast. If you have enjoyed reading or watching the Twilight series on the big screen like I do then The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner is a companion novella you shouldn’t miss. Authored by Stephanie Meyer, the book revolves on Bree Tanner, who is featured in the third book of the series, Eclipse. It was actually written from the viewpoint of Bree Tanner, a 15year-old human-turned-vampire. The story was supposed to be a complement to Eclipse (for it reveals the things Bella never knew about) but because the story was too long to be included in the upcoming The Twilight Saga: The Official Guide, the author decided to make it a separate book on its own. The book was released in stores last June 5, 2010. Wee! it's time for me to grab my copy.
