I was shocked when mom shouted from the living room (I was up in my room) that I have a package downstairs. As I’ve mentioned earlier, I was not expecting it to arrive today. So, I went down, thinking it might be something else (but I suddenly remembered I didn’t purchased anything online the last week) and stared hard at the thin envelope my mom was holding. And then it hit me. My CAFEPRESS order has finally arrived! Woohoo!

It’s nothing to brag about, it’s just that, I AM A FAN! The ID itself is FREE but you have to pay for the shipping which is just $4.

Behold, my own Panem District ID. Distric 4 represent!

Oh, I love accessories! I love charm bracelets and everything about them. My mother introduced them to me years ago and I use them no matter what the occasion is. Just earlier, I decided to check out the internet for stores that offers unique styles of bracelets, and lo and behold, I’m glad I found out about www.chamilia.com.

If you ask me, I fell in love instantly with their trendy jewelries. Chamilia gives you the opportunity to be creative and make your own necklaces, bracelets, earrings just the way you like it. With their wide range of playful, artistic beads, you can design your own unique charm bracelets in just a matter of minutes. You can choose from leather bracelets to sterling silver. From there, you can now select your favourite beads. I have to warn you though, you’ll be amazed with how many beads and styles that you can choose from. I have to admit I was overwhelmed with their selection.

So far, I like the Miss Chamilia collection. It’s my favourite out of them all.

No matter what your fashion style is: chic, preppy, glam, urban, classic, festival, sporty, boho, I’m pretty sure a Chamilia accessory will just fit right in.

PLOT: Humanity is all but extinguished after a war with partials—engineered organic beings identical to humans—has decimated the world’s population. Reduced to only tens of thousands by a weaponized virus to which only a fraction of humanity is immune, the survivors in North America have huddled together on Long Island. The threat of the partials is still imminent, but, worse, no baby has been born immune to the disease in over a decade. Humanity’s time is running out.

When sixteen-year-old Kira learns of her best friend’s pregnancy, she’s determined to find a solution. Then one rash decision forces Kira to flee her community with the unlikeliest of allies. As she tries desperately to save what is left of her race, she discovers that the survival of both humans and partials rests in her attempts to answer questions of the war’s origin that she never knew to ask.

I’m glad we went there. It’s a big change. As usual, after the catching up, business proposals and everything, my Aunt would ask us to come along with her to their church and see for ourselves. We attended their church worship the next day. I was also curious, you see. By right now, you might have guessed that me and my mom belonged to a different “group”. Imagine our surprise when we saw their church. It was full! I can’t help but noticed that there are lots of people who doesn’t have chairs to sit on. I guess they need more chairs for church asap. A hundred more, I guess, or less. In the end, I enjoyed the worship.

We had a nice dinner after and went home the next day. It was a very short visit since my mom have to go to work. I hope we can visit OUR place next. I’ll make sure to take some pictures the next time. =)

My sister decided to call the small one (left photo), Alekai, from the movie Madagascar. And the big one, Fifi, from Open Season 2. I hope they survive. Alekai is so small and fragile. I can’t stand another death. =(

I have to say that the delivery was fast! I found out that I won a day ago and then the package arrived the next day. The delivery guy even jokingly remarked that the package might be food because of its bulkiness and heaviness. LOL.

I only won these two lovely Victoria’s Secret set but received a small freebie too! Thank you. =)

Side note: Now, to the other contests I’ve joined, I hope the odds will still be in my favor. =D

So I’ve already finished reading Insurgent days ago. =) Took me 15 hours to finish the book including the eating and sleeping. Well, it’s a good read! The book is full of action and a couple of kisses there and everywhere. LOL. I can’t wait for the next book. It better be good coz the ending was a massive cliffhanger!

Moving on, I’m currently reading The Serpent’s Shadow (epub) by Rick Riordan. It’s the third and final book from The Kane Chronicles. I hope to finish the book this week so that I can continue reading Angels & Demons, which I purposely put off for a week now just to re-read The Hunger Games trilogy and Insurgent. Gah. I’m such a bookworm!

PLOT: He’s b-a-a-ack! Despite their best efforts, Carter and Sade Kane can’t seem to keep Apophis, the chaos snake, down. Now Apophis is threatening to plunge the world into eternal darkness, and the Kanes are faced with the impossible task of having to destroy him once and for all. Unfortunately, the magicians of the House of Life are on the brink of civil war, the gods are divided, and the young initiates of Brooklyn House stand almost alone against the forces of chaos.

To find the answer they need, the Kanes must rely on the murderous ghost of a powerful magician who might be able to lead them to the serpent’s shadow… or might lead them to their deaths in the depths of the underworld

OMG. Here it is! Finally found a copy of one of my favorite Dystopian book series! Woohoo! I’d like to thank the person who uploaded it on a forum I frequent. Thanks to you, dear!

This series is probably my third favorite after The Hunger Games and The Maze Runner in terms of Dystopia. I’m also happy to found out that Divergent (the first book) and The Maze Runner will be made into movies, which I AM SOOOOO LOOKING FORWARD!

Check out the book trailer of Insurgent below. I recommend these three series I mentioned earlier. It’s a must read!

PLOT: One choice can transform you—or it can destroy you. But every choice has consequences, and as unrest surges in the factions all around her, Tris Prior must continue trying to save those she loves—and herself—while grappling with haunting questions of grief and forgiveness, identity and loyalty, politics and love.

Tris’s initiation day should have been marked by celebration and victory with her chosen faction; instead, the day ended with unspeakable horrors. War now looms as conflict between the factions and their ideologies grows. And in times of war, sides must be chosen, secrets will emerge, and choices will become even more irrevocable—and even more powerful. Transformed by her own decisions but also by haunting grief and guilt, radical new discoveries, and shifting relationships, Tris must fully embrace her Divergence, even if she does not know what she may lose by doing so.

New York Times bestselling author Veronica Roth’s much-anticipated second book of the dystopian Divergent series is another intoxicating thrill ride of a story, rich with hallmark twists, heartbreaks, romance, and powerful insights about human nature.
