A Clash of Kings

Varys: I’ve always hated the bells. They ring for horror, a dead king, a city under siege. 
Tyrion: A wedding. 
Varys: Exactly.

Rings a bell? Ah-huh. To cut the story short, the Game of Thrones Season 2 ruined our lives. Boni Compound will never be the same again. I already saw episodes 1 to 7, but for the sake of my friends' sanity (and mine), i went through with them from the start. We started at noon and finished around midnight (snack and peepee breaks included). We continued on the next day for the season finale. Take that, television marathoners!

To Beejay and Sandy.. cheers on waiting for season 3 and our sanity!

If the sky falls, hold up your hands...

tells a famous Spanish saying.

 In my case, raising them with painted cuticles. :P

I really like this color. And Payne's Grey.

{The polishes i bought from Mikikay at 98B Future Market}

Speaking of 98B, before running to catch the Art Talk,

i had a chance meeting up with Ria, Inah, and Pete (not in photo).

Thanks to Theo and his very nice camera for this shot.

The Hobbit

I aim to finish reading The Hobbit before this hit the theaters.

Them singing gave me goosebumps <3

And yesss, this. I'm going back to the King in The North. The cold winds are rising.

series of books

I finished George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series: A Game of Thrones, A Clash of Kings, A Storm of Swords (made me cry), A Feast of Crows (made me so devastated, i missed Robb Stark so much), and A Dance of Dragons. I'm looking forward to The Winds of Winter (warning: chapter spoiler, click link at your own risk) which i heard will come out after two years pa. GRRM, you're such a life-ruiner hahah. Anyway, A Clash of Kings will be shown at HBO this coming April. I love the series. The feeling gives me the same chill from reading J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of The Rings Trilogy. Speaking of Tolkien, i want to read The Hobbit. 

I'm currently reading Brisingr by Christopher Paolini. I finished Eragon and Eldest two years ago but forgot some details vital in undestanding some plots in Brisingr so i flipped back those two last holiday break. I'm really intrigued on how Eragon and Saphira will end the Galbatorix rule (right now, i'm in the chapter where the prospect of defeating the Empire's mad king and Murtagh-Thorn is impossible, let's see how Paolini will surprise me). So after Brisingr, i'm off to Inheritance. 

In between reading my fave Wind, Sand and Stars by Antoine de Saint-Exupery and the series mentioned above, i'm also leisurely reading Cats' Paws and Catapults.

So far, i enjoy it despite the serious science.

*I dive into a book depends on the mood so i read a couple or three and still keep up with the other.

I know it's confusing but i like the challenge. It helps me cure memory loss

and do some brain exercise.

Question No. 4: I will write non-stop and see how it goes okay?

*Pardon if this post will ramble until the end. Let me just idle and wrestle my thoughts away from too much work. (Warning: contains little GOT spoilers)  :)

Question No. 4: How "fangirl" are you? What/Who is/are on your current desktop screensaver?

Juan doesn't have an active screensaver. Well sometimes but not really often. Juan = is my personal notebook, hahah. I know it's so weird to name a gadget but i got used calling it that already. I have friends who named theirs - Rudy (tough looking notebook), Vanilla Sky (cute pink one), PokPok (you can just easily guess the contents of this laptop by the name), Yanyan (short of Marian, yes, Rivera-crushing ), O'Connor Junior (he named his Nikon DSLR O'Connor first so that's already a descendant), Chivas (for too much drinking), and Nebula (geek stuff alert). I chose Juan because it sounded so artistic and cool. Like Juan Luna, Juan Dela Cruz Band, Juan Carlos Onetti, Juan Manuel of Villena, Juan Sebastian Elcano, and Juan of Pokemon hahah. 

Anyway, back to Juan's screen. I recently loaded him with the same display stuff of my office pc (pampantanggal-stress photo collection hahah). Except for the wallpaper. I like my office pc clean so i just dawned it with a Music Regression design poster while Juan is kept active with stuff that interests me every now and then. For this month, i am a fangirl so i got these two lurking around my personal premises. 

1. Of course, Iker. :)

2. Tadaaah. The King in the North. All of a sudden, i fell out of crush with Ben Barnes - after seeing Richard Madden in his Robb Stark's anguished weeping when Eddard was beheaded at the Sept of Baelor (yes, Boromir died again #LOTR). 

I guess I own this soft spot for tough-looking boys who could blubber like there's no tomorrow. And Ben Barnes looked a little too soft for my taste (except for the Caspian), hahah. 

Speaking of Starks, I've seen the first season. I just finished A Storm of Swords (the third book made me throw myself to bed and roll like crazy when I read the Rain of Castamere; PLEASE if you have a heart disease stay away from the third installment hahah - the story is soooo intense). I decided to take a Westerosi break before I proceed to A Feast of Crows. The chapters are too much for me to take, hahah. Sometimes I think George R.R. Martin is brilliant with all his storytelling twist, sometimes I just gush at how I hate him for tormenting my emotions. That's it for a round of guilty pleasure then. 

As for Juan's sliding visuals, Iker is still ruling the caps followed by Richard Madden. Why not? After playing Robb Stark in Game of Thrones, he is also in UK's Sirens portraying an ambulance man attracted to the same gender. 

Tell me, how can someone play homosexual and still be as desirable as any straight hottie. 
And the accent --- *FAINTS triple time* King in the North, here's my fealty. You have my banners.  

*Getting up from the deliquium* -- so as I was saying, if i can fangirl let it be for Madden. I don't know how much should I rate myself and don't give a fuss either hahah. I haven't seen any episode of Sirens yet but I think it is enough that I blushed like a schoolgirl when I saw his torso in one of the trailers. Just like a normal girl, hahah. Seriously, THANK YOU SCOTLAND for giving us the utter perfection that is James McAvoy and now this. 

Congratulations on your face. I can't even . . . HNNNNGGGG.
