Book: Maybe Someday by Colleen Hoover

★★★★★/★★★★★

"I need you to hear this... I will never regret you." 
- Ridge to Sydney

I fell in love with Colleen Hoover because of this book. It was my first book of her and it was just right that I picked it up. I stayed up all night just to finish this because I really loved the story. Everything about it was perfect even the music. It made me smile, cry and fall in love all over again. It's perfect. And I knew when I finished it that I have a new favorite book.

Synopsis from Goodreads:

At twenty-two years old, aspiring musician Sydney Blake has a great life: She’s in college, working a steady job, in love with her wonderful boyfriend, Hunter, and rooming with her good friend, Tori. But everything changes when she discovers Hunter cheating on her with Tori—and she is left trying to decide what to do next.

Sydney becomes captivated by her mysterious neighbor, Ridge Lawson. She can’t take her eyes off him or stop listening to the daily guitar playing he does out on his balcony. She can feel the harmony and vibrations in his music. And there’s something about Sydney that Ridge can’t ignore, either: He seems to have finally found his muse. When their inevitable encounter happens, they soon find themselves needing each other in more ways than one…

Thinking Out Loud by Ed Sheeran ♫♪

 Lyrics:

When your legs don't work like they used to before
And I can't sweep you off of your feet
Will your mouth still remember the taste of my love?
Will your eyes still smile from your cheeks?

And, darling, I will be loving you 'til we're 70
And, baby, my heart could still fall as hard at 23
And I'm thinking 'bout how people fall in love in mysterious ways
Maybe just the touch of a hand
Well, me—I fall in love with you every single day
And I just wanna tell you I am

So honey now
Take me into your loving arms
Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars
Place your head on my beating heart
I'm thinking out loud
That maybe we found love right where we are

When my hair's all but gone and my memory fades
And the crowds don't remember my name
When my hands don't play the strings the same way
I know you will still love me the same

'Cause honey your soul could never grow old, it's evergreen
And, baby, your smile's forever in my mind and memory
I'm thinking 'bout how people fall in love in mysterious ways
Maybe it's all part of a plan
Well, I'll just keep on making the same mistakes
Hoping that you'll understand

But, baby, now
Take me into your loving arms
Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars
Place your head on my beating heart
Thinking out loud
That maybe we found love right where we are

So, baby, now
Take me into your loving arms
Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars
Oh, darling, place your head on my beating heart
I'm thinking out loud
That maybe we found love right where we are
Oh, baby, we found love right where we are
And we found love right where we are

Good Girls by 5 Seconds of Summer ♫♪

Lyrics:
Do do do d-do do do do do do

She's a good girl
She's Daddy's favourite
He's saved for Harvard
He know she'll make it
She's good at school
She's never truant
She can speak French
I think she's fluent

'Cause every night she studies hard in her room
At least that's what her parents assume
But she sneaks out the window to meet with her boyfriend
Here's what she told me the time that I caught 'em

She said to me:
"Forget what you thought
'Cause good girls are bad girls that haven't been caught.
So just turn around and forget what you saw
'Cause good girls are bad girls that haven't been caught."

Whoa oh oh oh- oh whoa oh
Good girls are bad girls that haven't been caught
Whoa oh oh oh- oh whoa oh
Good girls are bad girls that haven't been caught

She's a good girl
A straight A student
She's really into
All that self-improvement
I swear she lives in that library
But if you ask her she'll say
"That's where you'll find me!"

But if you look then you won't find her there
She may be clever but she just acts too square
'Cause in the back of the room where nobody looks
She'll be with her boyfriend
She's not reading books!

She said to me:
"Forget what you thought
'Cause good girls are bad girls that haven't been caught.
So just turn around and forget what you saw
'Cause good girls are bad girls that haven't been caught."

Do do do d-do do do do do do
Good girls are bad girls and good girls are bad girls
Do do do d-do do do do do do
Good girls are bad girls and good girls are bad girls

She's a good girl
(She's a good girl)
Hasn't been caught
(She's a good girl)
She's a good girl
(She's a good girl)
Hasn't been caught... caught... caught... caught... caught... caught... caught... caught...

She said to me:
"Forget what you thought
'Cause good girls are bad girls that haven't been caught.
So just turn around and forget what you saw
'Cause good girls are bad girls that haven't been caught."

She said to me:
(She said to me)
"Forget what you thought
'Cause good girls are bad girls that haven't been caught.
So just turn around
(Just turn around)
And forget what you saw
'Cause good girls are bad girls that haven't been caught."

Whoa oh oh oh-oh whoa oh
Good girls are bad girls that haven't been caught
Whoa oh oh oh-oh whoa oh
Good girls are bad girls that haven't been caught
Whoa oh oh oh- oh whoa oh
Whoa oh oh- oh oh whoa oh
Good girls are bad girls that haven't been caught

Book: Slammed by Colleen Hoover

★★★★★/★★★★★

"I got schooled this year

by

a

Boy.

a boy that I'm seriously, deeply, madly, incredibly, and undeniably in love with.

And he taught me the most important thing of all…

To put the emphasis

On life."

This is one of those books that I instantly captured my heart. The kind of story that made me want to read more and more and more. It's beautiful and sweet and romantic and touching and it's b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l. I felt every emotion in me that it made Colleen Hoover my new favorite author. Really!

And I fell in love with slam poetry! Man, I love poetry and this book just inspired me even more. 

"everytime you fall down, everytime you cry... something inside you closes, something inside you dies... you feel your heart aching, you feel your world stop... something inside you hurts, something inside you snaps..." See? Tsk. Anyhoo, I loved everything about the book. Seriously. 

So here how it goes. After losing her dad, Layken and her family moved from Texas to Michigan. Here, she meets their new neighbors, Will and Caulder, who she and her brother, Kel, instantly become friends with. Layken and Will immediately develop an attraction with each other and they are getting along well until Layken finds out that Will is actually her teacher. Everything else gets messed up when Will prioritizes his job, and Caulder, over Layken. Of course, Layken understands that he needs to take care of Caulder but with each passing day that her feelings for Will grow stronger, she can't help but get mad at him because he can't even fight for what they're feeling.

"My poem is called mean." I face the front of the classroom and proudly recite my poem from heart.

According to the thesaurus…

and according to me…

there are over thirty different meanings and substitutions for the word

mean.

(I quickly yell the following words; the entire class flinches-including Will)

Jackass, jerk, cruel, dickhead, unkind, harsh, wicked, hateful, heartless, vicious, virulent, unrelenting, tyrannical, malevolent, atrocious, bastard, barbarous, bitter, brutal, callous, degenerate, brutish, depraved, evil, fierce, hard, implacable, rancorous, pernicious, inhumane, monstrous, merciless, inexorable.

And my personal favorite—a**hole.

-Layken

The story tells us that there are certain things in life we can't do anything about. That there are things we don't have control over with. Like losing the important people in your life, falling deeply in love with someone and having to choose what to prioritize in life. And sometimes it is so hard you just want to slap life right in the face.

"Don't take life too seriously. Punch it in the face when it needs a good hit. Laugh at it."

- Julia to Lake 

I also love how Colleen emphasized the importance of family and relationships n this novel. That after bouncing from one family to another, Eddie finally found someone who is willing to be her Dad. And how Julia trusted Layken and Will to make right decisions for themselves and how Kel and Caulder became best of friends. The characters were all good so much I can't choose one as my favorite. I think I love them all! :D

And Gavin and Eddie were so cute plus Joel is the sweetest!!!

Overall it was a very good book so I give it 5-stars. And trust me when I say that when you read this one, you can't get over it for a week. No, months! No!! Forever! :)

LOVE?

I was reading a National Geographic magazine last week and I found a very interesting article about love.

LOVE. Scientists think that female fickle orgasm may have evolved to help them distinguish Mr. Right form Mr. Wrong. -Helen Fisher

*Love and obsessive-compulsion disorder could have a similar chemical profile.
Translation: Love ad mental illness may be difficult to tell apart.
Translation: Don't be a fool. Stay away.

Lol. We should take this advise seriously. Stay. Away.

We love whom we love not so much because of the future we hope to build but because of the past we hope to reclaim. Love is reactive, not proactive, it arches us backward, which maybe why a certain person just "feels right." Or "feels familiar." He or she is familiar. He or she has a certain look or smell or sound or touch that activates buried memories.

I also believe on this one. We get attracted to someone because there's something in him\her that reminds us of something. Maybe it's the smell or the way he\she touches you or the way he\she says your name I'm not sure but there is always something familiar on him\her that reminds us of something. Or someone. 

Novelty triggers dopamine in the brain, which stimulates feelings of attractions. So riding a roller coaster on a first date is more likely to lead to second and third dates. 

Next time I know where to take my date. :">

 Love, it seems, lights up certain areas of the brain and releases chemicals that provoke hyperactivity and exhilaration. That's why spellbound lovers stay up all night to see the sun rise, take extraordinary risks to see each other, or, as Britain's Edward VIII did, throw a whole country aside for "the woman I love." Love can be dangerous. - Chris Johns 

I got interested with the article that I read it though it was already 2 in the morning. It's about love why else? :) And I really loved the line, "Sometimes, love appears when you least expect it."

Find Love...

when the sun kisses your cheeks in the morning...

when your whole family sits for breakfast...

when your friends call just to say "hi"...

when your neighbor gives you a smile...

when a random kid at the supermarket waves at you...

when an old lady finds you beautiful...

when the traffic enforcer helps you cross the street...

when a grandma gives you a flower...

when you rescue a trapped cat...

when you smell the flowers...

when you look around...

find love... everywhere...

Poem: A Camera and A Hand...

I will travel the world with a camera

Europe, Asia, Australia and America,

I will visit the places I want to see,

The Eiffel Tower, the pyramids, the statue of Liberty...

The languages, the cultures and different foods

I believe that everything will be so good,

Meeting people and experiencing new things,

I will collect memories and feelings...

But I won't be alone coz I'm holding a hand

I'll be with someone who understands,

We will travel happily and together,

We will cherish our moments til forever...

So I just need a camera and a hand

Then it's like I have a magic wand,

We'll travel and travel and travel the world,

We'll be happy to go around the world...

✈✈✈✈✈

On a concert. At the stage.

When the lights go out and everyone starts screaming. 

Best. Night. Ever.

I always love concerts. I love seeing my favorite bands on stage performing my favorite songs. It's like everything inside me jumps, everything inside me explodes and I feel alive! Especially that moment when the lights go out and everyone starts screaming because you know that this is it, you're finally seeing the love of your life live! Then there they are, your favorite band singing for you. They will sing you the songs that made you fall in love. The songs that help you get through your day, through your worst and best days. The music will drown you but you feel more alive than ever. You feel free and happy and you as you dance and sing along. 

Every concert is your best night ever. Every band is the love of your life. You may love only one or two or more and it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter as long as they inspire you and give you hope and make you happy and they make your life a little better.

Music is about the bands, the concerts, the songs and the people who love it. It's about us. And your music is yours. Your choice, your love.

And who knows, someday when someone asks you where you met your husband/boyfriend, you’ll be smiling when you tell them, 

"On a concert, at the stage."

Book: Lola and The Boy Next Door by Stephanie Perkins

★★★/★★★★★

Funny. Cute. Sweet. 

Stephanie Perkins did it again. Lola and The Boy Next Door gives us yet another cute romance between Lola and Cricket and a day or two, okay, maybe a week of not getting over them. The story is basically about Lola and The Boys Next Door (tsk!) and you know what happens next. 

I liked the book but I can't say that I liked it more than Anna and The French Kiss. I think Anna and St. Clair will always be my favorites. 

Anyhoo, it's a girl-falls-in-love-again-after-seeing-her-childhood-friend story that will leave you swooning over Cricket. Oh. 

 -----

“Once upon a time, there was a girl who talked to the moon. And she was mysterious and she was perfect, in that way that girls who talk to moons are. In the house next door, there lived a boy. And the boy watched the girl grow more and more perfect, more and more beautiful with each passing year. He watched her watch the moon. And he began to wonder if the moon would help him unravel the mystery of the beautiful girl. So the boy looked into the sky. But he couldn't concentrate on the moon. He was too distracted by the stars. And it didn't matter how many songs or poems had already been written about them, because whenever he thought about the girl, the stars shone brighter. As if she were the one keeping them illuminated.

One day, the boy had to move away. He couldn't bring the girl with him, so he brought the stars. When he'd look out his window at night, he would start with one. One star. And the boy would make a wish on it, and the wish would be her name.

At the sound of her name, a second star would appear. And then he'd wish her name again, and the stars would double into four. And four became eight, and eight became sixteen, and so on, in the greatest mathematical equation the universe had ever seen. And by the time an hour had passed, the sky would be filled with so many stars that it would wake the neighbors. People wondered who'd turned on the floodlights.

The boy did. By thinking about the girl.”
― Stephanie Perkins, Lola and the Boy Next Door
