A blaze of color -- oranges and pearly red.

“Orange? Like Effie’s hair?” I say.
“A bit more muted,” he says. “More like sunset.”
― Suzanne Collins, Catching Fire

Finally watched it!

I was finally able to watch The Hunger Games yesterday at Glorietta. I must say that I dig the movie better than the book!

I think, Jennifer Lawrence really fits the role as Katniss Everdeen. She looks so sensitive and naive yet she moves like a ninja.lol. I just wish Peeta Mellark was a bit taller but Josh Hutcherson is good too.

District 12, really looked what I imagined it to be. There were some parts in the book which were revised in the movie but nonetheless it still turned out great.

I can’t wait to finish Catching Fire. I’ve been very busy this past few days that I haven’t had the time to continue reading it. I promise I will this week and also on holy week. =)

Let the Hunger games begin!

I’m so excited. I hope it’s Monday already! weehhh!

I remember when I first read the Hunger games through Ebook sent by my High school friend even before it became so popular especially in Asia. I was not able to continue reading it because reading through Ebook is really difficult! I mean really! My eyes were always sore. I think the first Ebook that I read was 11 Minutes by Paulo Coelho. It was good but Ebook big NO for me.

Just this month, I started reading The hunger games and I was able to finish it for 2 weeks. I read it every day before I go to sleep. It was my lullaby. Now, I’m on to Catching Fire and I really hope that this will be better than The first book so as Mockingjay. I’m really disappointed that I just started reading it nowadays, when I could have read it years ago. I’m really into brutal, thriller, suspense and apocalyptic type of stories so this is one of my fave. But, nothing beats those Zombie infected films and series. I really think that I’m all ready if ever that kind of apocalypse will arise. I want to be the sole survivor and repopulate the world!hahaha. Just kidding!

I really recommend reading this book. I was not able to follow the Harry Potter books and neither Twilight. (I’m not into Vampires! =))) But, I’m really looking forward to finishing the trilogy series of Hunger Games, it is worth my time. Will update after I watch the movie! weehh =)
