THE DUFF BOOK REVIEW

THE DUFF: THE DESIGNATED UGLY FAT FRIEND by KODY KEPLINGER

The moment I laid eyes on the first chapter, I knew I would LOVE this book! This one sounded very much like Sarra Manning's Adorkable and God knows how much I love that book. 

Okay, let me tell you what the book is about, Bianca feels normal the minute before Wesley Rush talked to her, but when he opened his big mouth and told her that she was the Duff of her little group of friends, Bianca's life changed,

“Like my mother said, you can't go back to holding hands” - Katherine, Forever

My thought on Judy Blume's Forever.

I've done some research on this book (THANKS WIKIPEDIA) after I've read some of the reviews on goodreads. The novel was written 37 years ago (written 1975), and during that time, it was in the middle of controversy

THE TRUTH ABOUT FAKING BOOK REVIEW

The Truth About Faking is Leigh Talbert Moore's first book to ever write, and my first book of hers to read.

Looking at the cover, very cheesy, the title, the title did not really attract me to read it. 

Before I've read this book,

EASY BOOK REVIEW


It's been 2 days after I've read Tammara Webber's Easy, and I'm on the verge of forgetting what I've read. Well, that's saying something. 


Okay the plot, the very common, girl was brokenhearted, her name is Jacqueline aka Jackie (no more), dumped by her long time boyfriend, then she meets this mysterious guy from Econ class Lucas. Falls for him, while Lucas keeps on resisting her because she's not good for her/not good for him (I know, sounds like The Twilight saga). 

The story was okay, plain, the characters are also okay, the problem is that the book is too long for the story, the story is predictable,

UNSTICKY BOOK REVIEW

Unsticky is written by now one of my official favorite author, Sarra Manning

Grace Reeves' world revolves around money. She loves money and everything she could buy with it. But the only problem is, she hasn't got ENOUGH for her wants. 

Vaughn is this very rich, older man, who Grace thought could solve her problems. Maybe he is the answer to solve her problems, her financial problems. 


My first thought about this book is that, Confessions of a Shopaholic meets Fifty Shades of Grey (not the gross part of fifty shades). But this book is 100 percent better that the said books,

REASON TO BREATHE BOOK REVIEW

Reason to Breathe is my first novel of Rebecca Donovan. At first, I was a hesitant to read this book because I've seen the plot on goodreads, and I have already guessed there's violence involved and this is my first time reading such book.


Emma keeps everything to herself, even her best friend doesn't really know what going on inside Emma's house. Then she met Evan, he seemed very much interested in

IF YOUR HEART'S NOT IN IT

Song Title: IF YOUR HEART'S NOT IN IT* 
Artist: WESTLIFE* 

I have been a fan of westlife since I was about 10 years old. Their Irish charm and soothing voices make me squirm every time I hear one of their songs, and this song is not an exception. I know it's a sad song, (based on the title), but from the moment you hear the first piano note, you'll just fall in love with their voices. and FYI, I still like Mark Feehily even though he's gay. I know I have hots for gay men. (In almost all the boybands, I drool to their gay member, how weird it THAT!)

Perks of Being a PUPIAN

Let's do this list Cammie Morgan Style.


First things first, I'm an alumna of the Polytechnic University of the Philippines aka PUP aka Pinakamurang Unibersidad Puriber (I totally made that up). I think spending 5 years of my life in that University qualifies me in doing this list based on my first hand experience.


PRO: THE OBVIOUS: 12php per unit. 

I've heard (seen in the web) that it has been 12 pesos per unit since the 70s. And whenever there is a threat or even a rumor that there will be a tuition fee increase, expect a riot in a form of a rally from the students and some of the faculty members.During my stay, there has been 2 attempts of increase in tuition fee, but to the government's dismay, the students will just say, NO WAY JOSE!


CON: CULTURE SHOCK: rallies

Going back to my freshman year, I remember the shock in each and every one of my classmates' face witnessing the famous PUP Rally, then I looked at our professor, she seemed irritated because the class was being disturbed by the yells of the
