POSTED ON: Saturday, October 20, 2012 @ 9:59 AM | 0 comments


Made time to read the 2nd book of the Vampire Academy series titled Frostbite.

The second book is time around involves with Rose and her feelings towards Dimitri as it's already bad enough since she is her mentor and student-teacher relationship is not allowed in the academy. Both Rose and Dimitri took off for Rose's Qualifier Exam to meet legendart guardian Arthur Schoenberg only to realized that that guardian is brutally attack and murdered by a group of Strigoi with the help of humans. Due to the attack has cause Rose to be very traumatized.

More problems seems to arrive when Rose unexpectedly enters Lissa's head and witness Lissa and her new boyfriend Moroi royalty Christian Ozera, and it really creeps her out. Lissa meeting her estranged mother, Janine Hathaway one of the famous Guardians who has a rough relationship with, what's worse is during a training with her mother, Rose accidentally received a black eye from her mother.

And then came a woman named Tasha Ozera, Christian's aunt who she saved Christian from her parents who became a Strigoi and almost forcing Christian to become one. Rose noticed Tasha's and Dimitri's intimacy causing her to get jealous, and decided to brush off her feelings towards Dimitri and tries to date other guys, other guys like her age and she did, a dhampir name Mason who has an obvious crush on Rose, but Rose doesn't returns her feelings back to him, obviously because of Dimitri.

Because of the recent Strigoi attack the school has organized a school snow trip for all students to keep them save from the Strigoi attack, during the snow trip, Rose meets another member of the Royal Family Adrian Ivashkov, a flirty, playful, playboy who smokes and drinks a lot Moroi vampire who has already become of interested of Rose, and of course, Rose seems to avoid him, he also becomes closer to Lissa only to realize that Adrian is also a spirit user just like her. 

And when another Strigoi attack happens in the snow trip again, sparks a lot of concern for the Moroi due to their safety and when Tasha decided to voice up saying that Moroi should use their magic ability to fight against the Strigoi causing a huge controversy topic as Moroi are not supposed to use their powers to fight as, fighting against the Strigoi is the Guardians job.

The Strigoi attack has lead to Rose's friends Mason, Mia and Eddie to hunt for the Strigoi's location for themselves the reason they did that because Mia's mother was one of the murdered victim of the Strigoi attack in the hotel. When Rose along with Christian set off to find and bring them back they were caught by the Strigoi and kept them captive torturing them as well. When Rose sets up an escape plan, it works but Mason's life isn't. Enraged Rose kills the 2 main Strigoi making her first Strigoi kill before even graduating.

Rose is still shaken up over the whole incident and Mason's death blaming herself because she's upsets Mason pushing him away because of her feelings towards Dimitri. Dimitri comforts her and then kisses her telling her that he loves her and only her. 

What took my attention in the whole 2nd book is Adrian Ivashkov and only Adrian Ivashkov. I found myself crushing over him because of his personality. I LOVE HIS PERSONALITY! He's funny, playful, flirty, sarcastic sometimes, laid-back and also quite charming like he mentioned himself. Also the fact that he can enter people's dream is one awesome spirit ability. And he doesn't like his spirit powers which is why he drinks and smokes a lot to numb to side effects to the power. And also the fact he has his flirty mode on towards Rose as well. 




Vampire Diaries 4 - Memorial

POSTED ON: Friday, October 19, 2012 @ 10:28 PM | 0 comments

2nd episode of Vampire Diaries Season 4 continues with Elena's new life as a vampire. She has to learn to fight the blood lust and learn how to control it. And Stefan decided to teach Elena to drink animal blood to control her craving towards human blood. Damon unfortunately doesn't think that way and tells Stefan that she's not going to drink animal blood forever.

Stefan and Elena were at the forest hunting animal blood, Elena couldn't digest the animal blood at vomits it out. Meanwhile, Sheriff Liz interrogates Damon regarding the death of Pastor Young believing that it was his doing but Damon isn't in charge of it.

Then enters a new character, Connor Jordan, a vampire hunter and by the looks of it, he isn't just an average normal vampire hunter. While, Mystic Falls is preparing the memorial for the death of Pastor Young and the other Founding Family, daughter of Pastor Young, April Young returns to Mystic Fall, whom Elena used to babysit when she was very young and from her explanation she and her father were not in good terms.

When Tyler Lockwood was attacked, they have to investigate from Bonnie who is still grieving over her fault and her Gramm's "death" again, realizing that the weapon that isn't witch nor magic related.

Elena is still struggling with her bloodlust and secretly ask for Damon's help and both of them did something unexpected probably considered a taboo..... drinking blood from each other, which is considered very very intimate. Delena fans are so sure to be excited that part. Things got worse for Elena that she can't consume blood from blood bag as well, because she has a doppelganger blood which makes things difficult. Elena has to drink from the vein.

Connor use April as a bait to lure the vampires into the trap during the memorial ceremony. Elena almost lost it to the blood lust but manages to control it.

At the end of the episode, the group decided to grief over the death of their love ones, in which that Damon doesn't care about. He heads for the cemetery and talks to Alaric at his grave about how stupid the group are doing trying to forget their sorrows and grief that it tends to stay that way no matter what it does, also mentioning that he lost the girl he loved.

The last part of the episode caught me to tears when Alaric came as a spirit watching over Damon and what he said, added with a "I miss you too, buddy". In other words, Damon is also trying to say that he misses Alaric too.....


Vampire Academy

Hey ya'll! How you guys doing? I'm good by the way thanks for asking! HAHA! Okay, I'm talking to myself now.... odd. Whatever. 

So I'm going to talk about a new book series I've been reading lately. and I guess the curiousity is pretty much worth it, I'm currently reading the Vampire Academy series.

Vampire Academy is written by Richelle Mead and the story is about a 17 year old dhampir girl (a.k.a vampire) name Rosemarie Hathaway has to protect her friend Vasilissa Dragonmir, a royal Moroi princess (also another vampire species) from danger because she's the last surviving princess of the Dragonmir royal family. 

The book starts off with Rosemarie and Lissa being away from their school St. Vladimir Academy for 2 years and they were found and captured by a dhampir Guardian Dimitri Belikov, to bring them back to St. Vladimir. 

Usually, I don't read any vampire stories (except for Twilight that's the only vampire book I've read) and I have to say that the Vampire Academy series, is no doubt better than Twilight? Why? Simple. The female lead character, Rosemarie is a pretty badass character, she has a really smart mouth and tough, and the attitude of You-Won't-Stand-In-My-Way-Or-I'll-Kill-You. 

She's then trained to become a Guardian, a protector towards the Moroi vampires especially the royal family from another species vampire, the Strigoi, but this vampire is considered evil as they hunt and kill. They are just like normal typical vampires like they were made not born as a vampire, they can't go under the sunlight, and of course they hunt for blood.

At first, I don't get what's the difference of the Dhampirs, Moroi, and Strigoi and then I realized that they are different vampires with different characteristics.

From the 1st book, Rosemarie already discovered that she's having a crush on her mentor Guardian Dimitri Belikov that was until they almost have sex, no thanks to that charm necklace. But for Rosemarie and Dimitri to be involved in a relationship is forbidden, because of their age difference and the fact that student-teacher relationship is not permitted at all. Hmmm.... sounds like those typical student-teacher relationship stories I read on Wattpad. 

Throughout the story as well, Rosemarie discovered that she is bonded with Lissa, in other words 'Shadow-kissed'. This happens when a spirit user in this case, Lissa brings that person back to life the bond of the shadow kiss is already inside of Rosemarie, but only the person being alive back again can feel the connection, in other words, the 'bond' only works one way. As the bond can see what that person sees, and feels as well.

The book is good overall, and I really enjoyed it. Especially on the character development. And I can't wait to read the 2nd book. 



Vampire Diaries Season 4 Premiere!

It’s finally here! It’s finally here! Season 4 of Vampire Diaries is on today!!!! OMFG!!!!!! EPIC SPAZZING RIGHT THIS INSTANT! At least questions and answers will be revealed in this very season. Is Elena going to be vampire? How Elena’s feelings towards Damon changed since he met her first and when he first told her that he loves her before removing her memories away.
Also, there’s going to be new characters introduced in this Season and of course new storyline, and how can you not forget about the love triangle still going on between Stefan, Elena and Damon, which also applies to the Stelena and Delena fandom.
As I said before, I’m both part of the Team Delena and Team Stefan team, I mean how could I not pick between them? Although, I admit that I’m starting to grow as a Delena fan nowadays, C’mon! Damon is hot how can you not resist that guy? And obviously, I love Stefan too, but Damon more.
Since I already watched the episode the same day (due to the different time zone I’m living the new episode is premiered on Friday October 12, gotta hate time zone sometimes) and I had to say the episode is honestly so freaking INTENSE! And I went all sorts of emotions because of that episode alone.
Now…. let’s see some screenshots of the episodes shall we?
The moment when Damon confesses to Elena and she remembers
Finally Elena remembers
When Caroline make out with Klaus…. in Tyler’s body
Elena tastes her first blood
Do I need to explain?
Confrontation
Confrontation 2
Damon’s joke doesn’t get any older xD
I’m sure there’s a lot more than just this but I’m just lazy to tag in anymore pictures. Looking forward to episode 2! xD
