The Hunger Games

I have been hooked up with reading ebooks lately even though i have lots of things to do at school. Since my friends have been talking a lot about “The Hunger Games”, i got really interested and i downloaded it to my phone to read.

I am really not a big fan of reading but once i get hooked to the story, i’ll never be able to rest until i finish the book. I’ve read Harry Potter books more than once, matter of fact i cannot even remember how many times I’ve read it.

I was surprised how much this book caught my attention. It’s not that well written compared to other books that i’ve read. Its not even that detailed compared to Harry Potter books where even the smallest of things are described perfectly. But the story was really interesting for me that i don’t want to stop reading until i finish it  :heart

So i guess this post is going to be a review about this particular book, “The Hunger Games” by Suzzane Collins. Its actually a trilogy about a young girl named “Katniss Everdeen”. She saved her sister by volunteering as a tribute for the game called “The Hunger Games”. Together with other 2 tributes form 11 remaining districts, she finds herself fighting for her survival inside a place where all tributes are supposed to kill each other. The last one standing will be announced as a winner and will receive a big reward for their District and to their family.

Throughout the game, Katniss manages to survive and even break the rules. Rules that are serious for the Capitol and they see her as a threat to their sovereignty.  Katniss joined the game together with “Peeta Mellarck” a boy who made his love for Katniss as a strategy to keep them both alive in the game.

I am a person who loves mystery, adventure and creativity put up together. Maybe that’s why I love fiction. The only thing that i didn’t like about how the story was written was it lacked details. Details that could have made the plot even more interesting.

Well anyways, If you don’t love reading maybe the movie will interest you. I’ll leave you guys with the trailer and the OST of the movie “Safe and Sound” by Taylor Swift.

By the way, i think the songs suits the story very well! Thumbs up for Taylor Swift for doing this song, she sounds a bit different in this song. I didn’t know she can pull this kind of melody :)

The cast! Only Liam Hemsworth (he played Gale) and Josh Hutcherson (he played Peeta) is familiar to me. I don’t really know the others. I am really excited for this movie. Somehow, i have a feeling i’ll love it more on the big screen than on the book.

I am currently reading the second book “Catching Fire”, Katniss is getting even more confused about her feelings. Well i’m not spilling anything here in case you guys want to read it :-)

Managing Your Time

As we grow older we are introduced to so many important things in life. Bigger problems come our way, bigger responsibilities, obligations and work. All of these things can be so overwhelming and sometimes might eat you all up. For me as a student living with my sisters and brothers without our parents is very big challenge for me. Without my parents and as a bigger sister to my siblings, i have responsibilities and roles that i have to fulfill. But as a graduating student, i need to focus on my studies and comply all the requirements needed by my professors. There would come a time when i wished that i could make the time stop so that i would be able to accomplish things right on time.

Weighing your tasks and responsibilities nowadays are really hard to accomplish. And i think i’m right when i say that i am not the only one who’s having this kind of problem. Lots of people have a hard time managing their time with their tasks or work. That’s why i think it’s important for us to manage our time efficiently so that not time would be wasted. And for me, the best way to find time management tips is thorough the internet. And i am 100% sure that you’ll eventually find the answers that you are looking for. But of course, most of the best ebooks online are not free, you’ll have to pay for them first. Check out this book i found online, it has 101 ways to manage your time, though i think its more than that. What’s great about this book is that it teaches you how to manage your time in different aspects of life like in work, when your at home, or just playing. This will be a very big help to every one! Don’t waste time. Work efficiently and effectively.
