The Kane Chronicles: The Red Pyramid by Rick Riordan

My rating: 

Summary: Carter and Sadie Kane are siblings who grew up more like strangers ever since their mother's death. While Sadie has been living in London with her grandparents, Carter has been travelling the world with their father, Dr. Julius Kane, the brilliant Egyptologist. One night, when they are reunited, their father brings them to the British Museum, where he accidentally unleashes the Egyptian god Set, the god of deserts and chaos, who banishes Julius to oblivion and forces the siblings to flee for their lives. Soon, Carter and Sadie discover that the gods of Ancient Egypt are waking and that the worst of them - Set - is after the Kanes. To stop him, they embark on a dangerous journey around the world, on a quest that brings them closer to the truth about their family and their destiny.

What I Like: Rick Riordan really knows how to keep people reading! I enjoyed the book so much, I couldn't put it down. I love how Rick Riordan merges the modern world with mythology and make it into something interesting for the youth of today! 

What I Didn't Like: I know that this book is about gods, but we should always remember that there is one TRUE God that oversees everything in this world.

My Comments: I couldn't help but start making my own movie cast for this. (If they do make a movie of this, I hope they follow the books.) Also, I finished the second book, The Throne of Fire, in a day and I'm currently reading the final one, The Serpent's Shadow.

Synergy Online

Hi, everyone! I know I haven't been posting for quite a while now, but I'm back! Would you believe it's already the middle of the year? Time flies by so fast.

Anyways, I just wanted to let you all know that I've been featured in Synergy. Synergy is a blog run by my friends, Nina and Bea, which brings "different perspectives on music, literature, fashion, and the way of life" to the youth of today. When they asked if they could feature me for my artworks, I couldn't be more excited! You could take a look at the feature here. A big thank you again to Nina and Bea for the feature! 

That is all for now, since it is getting pretty late and I have to go in a bit! Don't fret, I will be making more posts soon! Later, alligator!

2 years ago...


2 years ago, I met these 4 lovely ladies who would change my life forever.  I met Hannah, Czarina, Sel, and Ana, my ever-so-awesome Junior TG Team batch mates.  I will definitely treasure all the memories and lessons I've learned with them.  I will always remember all the crazy moments we had, planning for our mini-mag, and simply just getting to know each other.  Love you, girls! 

Once a Total Girl, always a Total Girl

Song of the Day: Just a Game by Birdy


Hello everyone! I apologize for the lack of updates.  I have been very busy during the last week of April.  (I just graduated from grade school!  Exciting, right?)

But anyways, it is finally May!  To start off the month, I am going to present you with the song of the day!  It's called Just a Game by Birdy, from The Hunger Games soundtrack.  It is probably my favorite song at the moment.  Birdy's voice is just perfect with the feel of the soundtrack!  She's totally one of my new favorite artists.
