Every 31st of October, we get to celebrate and have a scary-fic time of our lives here in QQEnglish. Lets not forget, this year also happens to be (other than the occasional costume party) the time of the year in which we get to be someone we're not all because it's H.A.L.L.O.W.E.E.N. Oh yeah!

The Hunger Games

Hello... hello... hello... how are you?

I haven't been blogging for quite sometime now for a very good reason. I have been pretty busy lately with a capital B. Also to be perfectly honest, I haven't done anything new so that case is close. I'm much too preoccupied these days to even think of something--well, new ;). B-b-but, there's one thing that I am most certainly giddy about and cannot wait for it to be shown on the cinemas this coming November. That's none other than: Tan-da-da-dan...drum rolls please...


The first part of Mockingjay! 

Hooray!!! hooray!!! * behaves oneself Anyways, while waiting, I reread the trilogy again to refresh and relive the moments *sighs. I've been hooked about it ever since I saw the first movie back 2012 and me, well--being me, cannot wait for the second movie to be aired the next year as a result, and I meant it in a very good way, the bookworm in me decided to buy the whole set. :D Yep, me and my babies. Oh, yeah!

That is why I'm enjoying every page as I reread it again.

For those who haven't seen, lest read about it, here is a little bit of the synopsis. I hope you'll find it interesting and enjoyable as much as I did. (^_^)

"May the odds be ever in your favor"

......


......

In the post apocalyptic nation of Panem in North America. The Capitol, the country's highly advanced city took control over the rest of the nation. Every year, the capitol will hold an event in which one boy and one girl will be chosen in each twelve districts as a representative known as "tributes". The Hunger Games is a punishment for the past rebellion against the capitol in which the 13th District has been destroyed. They will fight each other into the death until one winner remains which they call "Victor."

Katniss Everdeen, the protagonist in the story lives in District 12, where the story begins, a coal rich region. During an annual reaping, an event in which the tributes are chosen, Katniss sister, Primrose, just reached the age of twelve, was chosen as tribute. Fearing for her sisters life, Katniss volunteered instead, making her the first volunteer in her district. Her male counter part tribute was Peeta Meelark, a baker and her former schoolmate. 

They were both taken to the capitol together with the previous drunken victor of District 12, Haymitch Abernathy. For days, they were trained, judged, interviewed and living like a celebrity for a short while. But that doesn't stop the lingering truth that they will all end up killing each other in the arena.

The clock is ticking for Katniss. 

How will she survive in the game?

Can a betrayal hurt her spirit?

Will a spark of love ignites in this deadly arena?

and 

Will the odds be in her favor?

......

In this exciting, thrilling action pack book by Suzanne Collins you will surely don't want to put the back down. Now, that the first part of "The Hunger Games" was already released maybe this is also the time for you to reconsider and watch it. To find out whether the movie or book is in your favor or not. ;)

"Happy Hunger Games!"

Agua Villa Resort

Welcome...Welcome to...

AGUA VILLA!!!

......


Agua Villa Resort is located in Panalipan, Catmon, Cebu. An hour drive from the city (if there is no traffic). It's easy to spot on since it's just beside the road. The house was fully furnished and tidied up, not to mention you have it all to yourselves and can use all the amenities minus the television of course. Hah!

This is the place were my team mates and I decided to spend our much first team up for team building.
Rein your horses for a second, I am not going to talk about *that in here. This post is solely for the place, no other. Just be patient and we'll get there in no time. ;) 

For the meantime, let us all focus all our attention in here. My apologies beforehand for I only manage to get a little bit of pictures for the whole place. 

Anywho, let's start our tour shall we?...

HARDCORE team 
welcomes you to Agua Villa! :D

7 Lovely Logics to Live By

We had our group team building last 24th and 25th of October at Agua Villa, Catmon. The place was good for team outing or gathering. It has a nice view too. But, I won't be talking about that. That topic would be for an entirely different post. 

This time I am going to talk or rather share some of the quotes that I had found in the villa that we lived in. Since the house has plenty of them, this one (and their are others too) caught my attention. As, a good blogger who haven't had any posts lately (sorry bout that), thought this is actually a good comeback of the sort. 

Anyways,  here are the seven simple logic that is true in its simplest ways:

When I read this, I was smiling to myself and wondered how true it was. 

Question is...

Do you agree?

Daddy's Little Girl

Hey there! 

It's been so long since I blogged about books. I know, I know, you sort of missed me. Just so you know I haven't had any interesting books to read for the past few weeks (or was it months?). What can I do? Anywho, I have managed to bid my time into rereading one of the works of my favorite writer--- a thrilling suspense novel. Yeah, I just don't read pure romance and the like you know, I dig this kind of genre too. ;)

Without further ado, here it is.
......

Gabrielle "Ellie" Cavanough was seven years old when her fifteen year old sister Andrea, was murdered. It was Ellie who found Andrea's body and led her parents on their secret hideout , the place where Andrea and her friends secretly meet.

It was Ellie who was blamed by her parents for her sister's death for not telling them the secret hideout the night her sister Andrea was missing and it was also Ellie's testimony that convicted the wealthy Rob Westerfield to prison for twenty-two years.

Twenty- two years had passed, Ellie was all grown up and  now works as an investigative reporter for a newspaper in Atlanta.She has done everything to stop the convicted Rob Westerfield's approval for parole. Determined, she went back to her old hometown to dig some uncovered stories about the man who claims to be innocent.

What will happen when she uncovers another horrifying fact?
And with each discovery she made, she became closer to desperate killer who wants the past buried.

......

With this thrilling work of Mary Higgins Clark you will left this book unputtable in every page.

Nerd


I entitled this post NERD for two reasons: One, the word nerd means a person who studies hard and Two, I happen to like the word.

CROP it up


Dark skies and lightning flashes into the sky, as I ventured myself into some expected and unexpected kind of scenario. In an event that is all-in-one, I might have considered that night as one my busiest day. One, I have to be a gracious hostess for my cute little nephew's second birthday and two, I have to do what a girl's got to do. ;) (you know what I mean)
