Tags Hitting Close to the Heart: My Reasons Why & 5 Things I Like About Myself

My blog tags are growing in number and I can almost hear them getting impatient in their temporary home in my bookmarks, and I know I’ll be lamenting over my lateness in responding to them, so why not do it already?

TEN’s New Heroes: “Turn my mess into messages..”

I would like to say Ten is my new hero just so I could insert the title of his song but I would be lying because I have been his fan since I saw him at Hit The Stage. I’m definitely not a new fan but here’s hoping you could be.

The Cliché Book Tag

My Name in TBR Book Tag — My Monster & Me

[A gif that perfectly illustrates my relationship with the said shelf …]

“Cats don’t have names,” it said.
“No?” said Coraline.
“No,” said the cat. “Now you people have names. That’s because you don’t know who you are. We know who we are, so we don’t need names.”

― Neil Gaiman, Coraline

You know my name but not my to be read shelf… so I’d like you guys to be acquainted with my ever growing TBR. I usually feed it once in a blue moon but in large quantities. It’s wrecking havoc in my priorities and a fearsome entity, thus I fondly call it my monster TBR or mons-TBR for short.

So for this tag, what you’re suppose to do is take your name and find a book from your TBR that starts with each letter of your name (in my case it’s two books per letter). I decided to do both my username and the title for my book blog.

Midnight Secretary by Ohmi Tomu: Of Midnight Cravings

Ha! I totally did not plan for that title by the way. It came to me naturally… I was inspired.

“No matter what I say or do, I’m still me. The things I feel, the things I do, being a vampire, being a man … when all those things come together they make up “me.” But I’m none of these things taken separately.”

The Quote Hoarder: The Clockwork Princess — A Character I Aspire To Be

Tessa Gray portrait by meileen_art

 “You know that feeling,” she [Tessa] said, “when you are reading a book, and you know that it is going to be a tragedy; you can feel the cold and darkness coming, see the net drawing tight around the characters who live and breathe on the pages. But you are tied to the story as if being dragged behind a carriage and you cannot let go or turn the course aside.”

― Cassandra Clare, Clockwork Princess

Why IDOL PRODUCER is Such a Treat for a Survival Show

“I always tell trainees there are no shortcuts, there is only practice, practice, never-ending repeated practice. Let it become a kind of habit, a routine.
Because the only thing that lets me have the courage to face all the sounds and lights is just the memories of my own body.”

— Zhang Yixing

Ojousama no Untenshu by Ishihara Keiko — A Tug At My Maiden Heart

The Young Lady’s Chauffeur by Ishihara Keiko
