A Minute Of Reading: Bitter End and Stay

Bitter End

By: Jennifer Brown

When Alex falls for the charming new boy at school, Cole -- a handsome, funny, sports star who adores her -- she can't believe she's finally found her soul mate . . . someone who truly loves and understands her.

At first, Alex is blissfully happy. Sure, Cole seems a little jealous of her relationship with her close friend Zack, but what guy would want his girlfriend spending all her time with another boy? As the months pass, though, Alex can no longer ignore Cole's small put-downs, pinches, or increasingly violent threats.

As Alex struggles to come to terms with the sweet boyfriend she fell in love with and the boyfriend whose "love" she no longer recognizes, she is forced to choose -- between her "true love" and herself

Stay

By: Deb Caletti

Clara's relationship with Christian is intense from the start, and like nothing she’s ever experienced before. But what starts as devotion quickly becomes obsession, and it's almost too late before Clara realizes how far gone Christian is and what he's willing to do to make her stay.

Now Clara has left the city and Christian behind. No one back home has any idea where she is, but she still struggles to shake off her fear. She knows Christian won't let her go that easily, and that no matter how far she runs, it may not be far enough...

My Review

      Bitter End was the first one I read and i got to say that it really made a great impact on me, I'm used to reading High School Romances and stuff but I had never read something so intense in a high school relationship.  When Alex first met Cole, the new student at her school, she couldn't help but like him, I mean I would have liked him too, he was perfect; Hot, Funny, Athletic and He liked her too, what else could a girl ask for? Until it happen. A new side of Cole comes out to light, one that she definitely doesn't like at all. This Cole is cold, mean, cruel,  jealous, and even violent. 

       I think we can relate about the fact that we think that an abusive relationship could never happen to us, or that if some day it does happen we would be able to handle it and deal with it in all the right ways; but truth to be told we would never know until it actually happens. I think that Mrs. Brown did a wonderful job writing about what it is like to fall in love with a abusive guy. There were many times that Alex really annoyed me, the fact that she led her best friends down so many times because of Cole or the fact that she dint leave him the first time he actually hit her, or the second, or third time for the matter. There were many times that I wanted to close the book and just trow it at the wall, since I couldn't believe how stupid she could be, but I guess I don't know what would I would have done eater if I ever found my self in that kind if situation. 

    The one character I really hated in this book (after Cole) was Alex's father. I understand that he was really depressed because of what had happened to him with his wife, but life goes on and he had to learn how to live it, not only for him but for his three daughters, that really needed him.  In fact I think that what happened to Alex had one good outcome and that is that her father finally tried to actually talk to her and tried to act like a father would. 

This was a good book but not my favorite, I give this book a 3.5 out of 5 stars.

      Let us talk about my second review; Stay. I just finish reading this book last night, and I got to say

when i first read the summary of the book I really hesitated to actually read it since i thought it was going to be a lot like Bitter End, But to my surprise behind that awesome cover i found a just as awesomely written book; Stay. I gotta say, It was one heck of a great book. I love the way Mrs. Caletti wrote it in between the chapters, how it would switch from past to present.  I really liked Clara and the way she dealt with Christian, I love how she knew that enough was enough and unlike Alex she Broke off the relationship before it went to far. But then again Christian was really similar to Cole but also Nothing alike at the same time. Christian is obsessive and just like Cole he had a cold, jealous, cruel, and really mean side but at least he never hit Clara. Unlike Alex, Clara really tried to get away from Christian but she had something that Alex dint and that is the great support from her father. which brings me to my next point; 

     Clara's father. I really loved this men, he was great, and i loved the way he supported and helped his daughter in everything he could. He sometimes felt like he was more of a friend than a father which made him totally awesome. Now talking about men i love in this book, let us review the sexy, cute, sweet, and incredibly awesome Finn. Now he was someone who made the story totally worth reading. Nothing Like Cole or Christian, he was the perfect guy we all are looking for and I'm glad Clara found him. Once again i gotta say that Mrs. Caletti did a wonderful job writing this book, In one chapter we were leaning about the Obsessive relationship Clara had with Christian, while in the next chapter we were learning about the sweet relationship she was finding in Finn. A total Bitter-Sweet effect; just perfect. 

At one point of the book i actually felt sorry for Christian, In the end whenever Clara was running away from him into the water, the way she described how he was looking at her from far and she thought that he was going to jump and killed himself, it really touched me, I imagine how he might had felt seeing the girl he loves running away from him like that (now don't get me wrong, I'm not saying she shouldn't had run) But then again all these little things is what made this book such a Master Piece.

This book gets a 5 out of 5 stars. I recommend this book to anyone, really a great awesome book.

Both books were great books in their own way. I think we can all learn a lot from this two books, Love is not abuse, jealousy can be cute but not when it gets to certain point.  All my respect to Jennifer Brown and Deb Caletti for writing such great books.

Anime Freak.!

I'm Still Alive! Yeah i know I Haven't Post Anything In a While but yeah, Turns Out I'm Not Dead.. So this Post Goes to My past Life. Since as in right now I'm Still Rehabilitating from My Anime Addiction, which is not going well since i just finish watching 'Spice and Wolf ' :''[ But anyways I will introduce My Top Six Anime To You all :) *It May Contain Spoilers! `.` He-he..

6. Soul Eater.

Great Anime in many ways, I love How there's so much Loyalty Between all of them since they all depend on each other and they all Good Friends. Super Funny Too especially Death The Kid with his OCD they can all be so Hilarious. I specially like How Maka and Soul Live Together, you see i have this thing going on in my mind that even if the anime has nothing to do with romance i still like to think that there's something going on between main characters and since Soul and Maka Live together It just makes it easier for me to fantasized about it. Lol creepy I know but Oh Well.  anyways to conclude this I will have to say that if i wasn't such a romanticist this anime would probably had been in my top 3 animes he-he but still it is a great anime and once in a while i need some action to watch, the action involve in here was great i love the fighting -which is weird coming from me- TeeHee :)

5. Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood 

I gotta say I'm like any other anime freak girl out ther, i don't usually go for shunnen i mostly watch or read shoujo since like i said before -I am a Romanticist but sometimes i just get tired out the girl running out on the guy just because he said something stupid. so that's when my inner boy comes out and i feel like watching some action, This anime is great, the story line was just amazing so touching it made me cry so many times and made me Laugh like crazy some other times. I Love everything about Ed He's so cool and he cares so much about his brother just amazing how just one anime can touch your Heart Like it touched mine, The Little Romance they add at the end just completed everything for a great anime, I love the way Ed propose to Winry ~ He's so Cute, I know I've watch a lot of animes before that i don't even remember anymore, but this one is one of those i that i wont forget about no matter what.

4. Skip Beat!

Well this is my first Shoujo in my list, I will say something about this anime, i mostly love how down to earth this anime is, a girl getting dump by this famous Jacka*s and she trying to get revenge on him is something i couldn't go on my life without watching, and i love just how close she becomes to the Ren, The person Shoo Hates the most. AMAZING artwork. she's so pretty even thought she has really low self stem and the way acting comes out so naturally for her just makes her Cooler than ever. I liked it so much that even after finishing watching it i had to Read the manga since it got me so Addicted to it. I'm still waiting for the romance, since it is taking quite long to come out but i know it will since Kyoko and Ren Seem to be so In love. Great Anime/ Manga anything any girl could ask for ! ♥ 

 

3.Ouran High School Host Club.

Well I think it was Kind of obvious that This anime would be somewhere in this list since it is a Amazing anime. The funniest anime i ever watched. While watching this sometimes i would even had a hard time breating since it made me laugh so much. I find it great how everyone - well almost everyone-  fell in love with Haruhi but they all where so oblivious that none of them realized it, at least on the anime, This is one of the anime that i had a strong desire to keep reading the manga to see how everything ended but i just couldn't bring my self to because i dint wanted to see them fighting for her. lol i know its kinda creepy how into it i got but i just couldn't help it. such a great anime. To be honest trough out the whole anime i was kinda hoping that Kyoya and Haruhi would fall in love, i mean Kyoya is just so Hot and he's always keeping his cool, and they just so perfect for each other since both of them are so smart and cool, they find logic for everything, But that's just impossible since it is kinda obvious that Tamaki is the main Guy and don't get me wrong, Tamaki is another great and Funny character and he's just so cute! but still i had always had this thing for guys that keep their cool, just like Kyoya... or Mori for the matter ~ but that's another story.. :) he-he 

2. NANA

Nana deserves my number one in my list, that is if i hadn't watch Inuyacha, but this one it is one of my most favorite animes- 

a masterpiece if you ask me, So touching, and it all begins with so many coincidences Two girls completely different meet on a train on their way to Tokyo both 21 years old, they both going to Tokyo in search of their dream and they both are name NANA, in the begging of every episode Hashi-Nana with the orange hair- stars it with a 'Hey Nana' telling a story as if they aren't together anymore, which makes us think that something may had happened to Nana, just like i was saying about Skip Beat this anime is really down to Earth which i love in animes, and it got me really hook up into it, i love the way they treat each other even thought they havent know each other for a long time they trust eachother so much. Nana worries so much about Hashi the way an older sister would worry about her little Sister, at some point you get to think that maybe Nana and Hashi are in love with each other since their friendship is so deep but everything that goes down in the anime just wont tell if they love each other in that kind of way. In few words- One of the greatest animes Ever. ♥

1. Inuyasha.

And finally my number one. Greatest Anime Ever, they don't make animes like this anymore just the right amount of Shoujo combined with just the right amount of Shunnen, anyone could love this anime since it is created for both girls and guys. i just love the way Inuyasha cares about Kagome, and how much Kagome loves Inuyasha, Its just so Cute,To tell the truth i was not satisfy with the end of the first anime, but when they got Inuyasha: The Final Act out i was so happy, it was just as funny and as great as the first anime, I think Inuyasha is the only anime that can make me cry when i character i hate Dies, since when Kykio Died I Was crying so hard, and i just love the way Kagome understands how Inuyahsa feels after Kikyos death, well she was his first love after all. The happy ending just completed my Life, i said it before and i will say it again... The Greatest Anime Ever! :)~ ♥

-Thanks for Reading, I Love Yall. ♥

When Romance Acting Becomes Reality.

   Sometimes the on-screen chemistry of two lovers becomes so real, its' not acting anymore. It may be a job at first but sometimes feelings cross over after spending days and nights with your leading man or lady. Lets review Some of those Couples from Asian Dramas.

Smile, You: Hit 2009 Korean Drama, in my opinion best drama ever, even thought the main leads end up just as friends in real life, Lee Chun Hee, who play then role of the main leads brother, meet his wife, Jun Hye Jin, in the set of smile you. they had to play as one of the supporting couples, and even though he is 9  years older than her, he said that after they had finish airing the drama he couldn't help but to keep in touch with her, and after one year of dating they decided to get married.She was 4 mounts pregnant when they got married on March 11th 2011. 

Creating Destiny:

 Eugene and Ki Tae Young, lead couple from The MBC 2009-2010 drama Creating Destiny The two began dating in. January of 2010 after the conclusion of their MBC weekend drama, ‘Creating Destiny‘. The two had actually attended the same church, and after a year and a half of dating, finally decided to get Married. The two had previously alerted fans of their marriage by sharing their love on their fancafes. Ki Tae Young had written, “ I've found someone that I’ve always dreamed of, someone who I can create a family with. A wise and realistic woman. A woman who’s wise and obedient to her husband, and a husband who’s caring and devoted to his wife. Someone I never imagined has come into my heart.”

Eugene meanwhile wrote fondly of her love for her husband-to-be, stating, “ I've met someone that I want to spend the rest of my life with. He’s someone who can fill what I lack.” So Cute. >.< what was even more awesome is that Taeyang(Wedding-Dress-Singer lol) from Big Bang sang a song that he composed at their wedding. if i was Eugene i would've left my groom and run away with Taeyang...(but that's just me)still they really cute.!


City Hunter:

 Lee Min Ho (yeah, super-hot-Korean-actor) and Park Min Young, Now this couple is not married or anything but they did started dating. The two stars were the main leads in the recently-concluded SBS drama, ‘City Hunter‘. Working long hours together on the set and acting out their characters’ love lines appears to have sparked a romance of their own.
Lee Min Ho’s agency, Starhaus Entertainment, told Dispatch, “When the two were together, their interest for one another could be felt. They are going towards the step of getting to know each other.”

 Meanwhile Park Min Young’s agency, King Kong Entertainment, stated, “When the two appeared in the drama together, they were quite in tune with one another. It seems that they’ve developed feelings for each other.” I totally support this couple. they just so cute together, and i rather see him with her than with that chick from Boys Over Flowers. Justsaying -_-''

Well i guess that's it for today. i'm so tired of typing lol. don't forget to follow me.!! lol even thought no one reads my blog (except for you cuzz.! :D )

Leap Year and Letters to Juliet

                           Leap Year and Letters to Juliet

So Yeah Today I decided to watch some movies, and I watched two, Leap Year and Letters to Juliet, now don’t get me wrong, both movies are freaking awesome in fact Letters to Juliet  is my most favorite movie ever, but I started analyzing between both movies and I realize something.

                  They are exactly the Same

In both movies it stars with you know a “happy” couple that are engage or about to be, they both travel to some other country and somehow the chick and the dude end up separated for a while, that’s when the girl meets the other guy, and of course they kinda hate each other at the beginning, the something happens that leads them to some kind of road trip and by spending so much time together, they obviously fall in love,  and yes they kiss, then the girl reaches her destiny and meets up with her boyfriend, and of course the other guys knows but doesn’t go look for her until some kind of hours passed away and when he finally sees her, what he sees is her with her boyfriend, kissing, then he leaves without letting her know he was there in the first place.

Finally something happens that makes the girl realize that she really doesn't love her boyfriend, but the other guy, so she breaks up with her boyfriend, and she travels all the way back to the place where she first met the other guy, but then the guy does something that makes her think that he doesn’t like her back, so what does she do? She runs away crying, and he runs after her, then he declares he’s undying love for her and somehow proposes to her.  She obviously says yes and they kiss. Happy ending.

 Like I said before I love both movies, but both of them are exactly the same. And somehow it bothers me… Lol but that’s just my opinion. 

Tenelovela Favorita: "La Pola"

Policarpia Salavarrieta, better known as La Pola, is a beautiful and courageous woman who lives in those years in which America gained independence from Spain.
 Between war and revolution La Pola falls hopelessly in love of Alejo Sarabaín, a polite young man of high society. But He's someone she should've never fallen in love with this is because Alejo is Spanish and she is a patriot. Only the day that New Granada gains their freedom they could be together can be together.

 
Alejo and La Pola and are always on opposite sides but this is not enough reason to stop loving each other.

La Pola is rated as one of the best Tenelovelas of the 2010. it show us a lot of the Colombian Culture and its settings are in the greatest Cities of Colombia such as Popoyan, "Villa de Honda" , and "Villa de Guaduas" were it shows that these cities still have keep their beautiful structure as how it was back then

As in for my opinion i really love this Novela, and even thought i haven't finish watching it I know that the ending will make a great impact on me. I like how their love story is not the typical love story of every drama, you know the whole boy gets the girl, boy loses the girl, they make up and get marry. i was seriously getting tired of that. But these Novela was a whole different story, something that i never saw before, and the best part is that its all based on a True Story.

Also something else i wanned to talk about is about the leads of the tenelovela; Carolina Ramirez and Emmanuel Esparza. they look soo cute together.! >.< i seriously hope they go out in real life hehe.. he's so hot and she's just so pretty. they like the perfect couple.! the best thing is that he is actually Spanish and hot, i mean i heard Spanish guys do wonders (if you know what i mean ^.^) hehe >///<

Who I Am

Who Am I? That's an easy question with a very complicated answer. i'm a pretty simple girl, i love to get to know new people, but the ones who end up betraying you aren't worth meeting. i'm a peace person, but sometimes even an "all peace person" can get pissed and star war, if anyone would come to my face only to insult or make fun of me i would probably just laugh at them, cause i really couldn't care less on what haters think of me, u know what they say 'haters gonna hate'. I love my family, that's all the people i honestly cant live without. I'm the type of girl that can be so hurt but can still look at you & smile.  I'm the type of girl who is willing to Brighten your day even if you cant brighten mine. i'm the type of girl who's 16 years old and hasn't have her first kiss yet cause she saving it for someone really special. and that girl who fantasizes about perfect love stories but knows that love is really dangerous. I live every moment,cuz I want to live, a life that is worth living for,I laugh every day,cuz I want to laugh, a laugh that can make my heart stop.  and I love beyond words, cuz I want to love, a love that is worth dying for. but that's just who i am. you can call me Alondra.
