Being Sick

Like with all diseases, it’s really annoying when you get it. For the past week, I’ve been down with Dengue Fever and IT WAS NOT FUN. AT ALL. After all, when it gets serious…you’re stuck at the hospital.

Actually, let me correct myself: sick people prison.

You’re trapped in a little room with fluid bags attached to you with barely edible food. Then there’s the usual headaches, fever and overall just being uncomfortable. I’ve nicknamed my fluid bag Organ #34 since it’s pretty much stuck with me. And it’s #34 since my laptop is #33. 🙂

Procrastination

Procrastination is an interesting thing. While it’s something you’re not supposed to do, I’m sure everyone of us has procrastinated. Some more than others. They say procrastinators are optimistic about sending their work in on time and that they work better under pressure.

They also say that it causes all sorts of stress and discomfort. Well, when you have much more “important” things to do in your life, procrastination seems to be the easiest way to go through it. Screw homework and other things. Having fun is better.

My dad sent me a rather interesting link about procrastination. Click here to view the webpage.

It talks about characteristics and consequences of procrastination. Unfortunately, I don’t really care about that stuff since procrastination is one of the things I actually do well at. :3

I finally finished the first chapter of this story!!

On her 13th birthday, Jennalyn Hazelwood misses her brother who passed away ten years ago. But when she receives a mysterious journal from her deceased grandpa, Jennalyn learns that she can communicate between the living and the dead.

And when Peyton finds himself in the same situation, the two siblings must now protect this strange power from the forces of untold evil that will use the Realm Journals as portal between the real world and the afterlife.

I hate writing the first couple of chapters because setting up the story is really hard to do….

I’ve wanted to get my hands on this series for a long time and I finally have! The Chronicles of Prydain is a series of five fantasy genre books written by Lloyd Alexander written since around the 1960’s. Admittedly, I don’t have trouble understanding it.

1) The Book of Three

2) The Black Cauldron

3) The Castle of Llyr

4) Taran Wanderer

5) The High King

The story of The Chronicles of Prydain is set in a fictional world, Prydain, which is a nation consisting of several kingdoms. Inhabitants include humans, strange creatures such as the Fair Folk, beasts, witches and evil warlords. The land is filled with magic and mystery and is a very enjoyable world.

The series follows the adventures of Taran, an assistant pig-keeper who dreams of becoming a brave warrior from Caer Dallben. Soon in his journey, Taran teams up with Princess Eilonwy, Gurgi, and Fflewddur Fflam. Taran’s ultimate goal is to find his identity and protect Prydain from the evils of Annuvin, a kingdom filled with darkness.

I hope you enjoy!
