From The Inside: What a bookworm-frenzy week!

This had been an interesting book-reading-crazy-week.

I discovered the wonders of Greek Myths... y'know.. about Zeus, Aphrodite, Athena, Hercules. bla bla..
yeah. Greek Myths.

My my.. it sure was an eye opener reading about them , and of course an excuse to blame on whatever phenomenon that happens.
haha.. like if there were tsunami i'd blame Poseidon, the Sea God.
not the point anyways. :)
people! you guys should check out the greek myths. how many gods they have and all.
it's interesting how gods can go around simply "making children" because they had nothing better to do then to fall in love.

i never knew how creative Greeks were. haha..

Oh yeah, and all the "google-ing" and "wikipedia-ing" about greek myths and a recommendation by a mutual friend brought me to these wonderful books of Percy Jackson by Rick Rioder.

it has greek myths embedded in the plot.
beautifully written i'd say.
and mind you, children's book can be nice to read too.
they don't have bombastic words which i find irritating because i have to flip through the dictionary everytime i don't understand a word.

There you go. caught me red handed. i know i have poor vocabulary.
and yet i despise people who write in bad english.
haha. guess i'm a person who thinks i'm perfect and somehow always picks on someone else's flaw, for the sake of self satisfaction.
whaddya call that? narcissism ?
lol. i need help psychologically!
i know. but i don't really care.
cause you'd be a fool to actually care about what i said to you.

Speaking of books
i just finished a book entitled The Five People You Meet In Heaven by Mitch Albom.

very very insightful. insightfully inspiring i'd say.
Sounds like a fairy tale yet it feels like it was a real story.
like it really happened but it didn't because we will never know how heaven will be like.
OR will there ever be a heaven..
but it sure is influential... well to me it is.
suddenly i feel the optimist in me coming out and thoughts of what happened at the daily basis each has a story behind them.
Like why the lady who was across the street stared at me as though she saw a sense of familiarity in me.
Like why that little girl i looked at cried the moment i smiled at her.
Like why my family were around me and i never took time to appreciate them enough.
It made me wonder
how small the world could be,
how people interlinked with one another by an invisible line.
i suggest anyone who's under the emotional phase or might i say the i-hate-my-life phase to read this insightful book.
because it sure helped me look forward to the next day and appreciate the day i have today more than ever.
and being thankful that i had a chance to think of what happened yesterday.

More books coming up! :)

And today,
i went to a workshop about song writing.
A certain someone managed to talk me into waking up early in the morning to listen to people talking.
and i was thankful i went.
and i saw so many talented people.
Mia Palencia and Reza Salleh.

they were and still are two absolutely talented singers and songwriters.
and of course the others who attended the workshop excluding me of course.
i never got the talent in writing a song what more finding the right melody to my "song". lol
Probably i'm destined to do something else. haha..

I feel as though i've been cooped up at home for so long
and cooped up in myself with self pity
telling myself how depressed i feel,
i never noticed the people around me and how talented they can be.
Local singers can be good singers too.
who says you have to have a different skin colour to be able to sing well.
check them out people.
Mia Palencia and Reza Salleh.
i hope i got their names right.

And i've made a decision to cut down the swearing.
haha..
i don't want to end up being tortured in the Field of Punishment by the Lord of The Underworld, Hades.
sorry. too much greek myths. haha.. going a little cuckoo.
