Poem




Brought by
by: Erika Gibson IƱigo

I look at the sad freezing drops of rain.
 They cry with me behind my window pane.
A pour of heavy weeping from above,
 Beneath the sky--these mocking pairs of love.

And now, a sudden scream of silence came.
 Our world outside seems no longer the same.
 Stood with nowhere to run, no help of aid,
 Amplified into thousand kiss of blade

A man took every inch of love I have.
 Why, oh why did you leave this poor white dove?
 I beg of you, spare me one minute break,
Or this I feel might drown me down the lake.

And just before I fell into the sand,
 A stranger came and tightly held my hand.
His deep brown eyes tells me—trust and remain.
 But this scared heart refuse to feel again.

He drew the dagger out from my swelling chest.
 A torture from hell but it was the best.
 How will I know I won’t hurt if I sleep?
 I guess to find out, is to-take-a-leap.



TV Series Review




The Vampire Diaries Review
               



The hit tv series the vampire diaries recently finished its fourth season later this year and everyone was excited to see the next season this October. The season ended with one of the main character Stefan Salvatore drowning and grasping for air inside a box dropped from the edge of a water fall. For the avid fans of the series, the ending was indeed an amazing cliff hanger that made the viewers frantic and juiced up for the season 5 premiere.
            The Vampire Diaries is all about the love triangle between the Salvatore brothers and the sweet and innocent Elena Gilbert. The brothers are both vampires who fell in love with an 18 year old girl. Elena lost her innocence when she turned into vampire at the season 3 finale and this changed her relationship with Stefan then ended up falling of the other brother.  For the first 3 seasons, Elena was dating Stefan Salvatore and by the end of season 4 she found herself allured by the charms of the other brother, Damon Salvatore. For most fans, they find it unpleasant for Elena to switch Salvatores and date both of them one at a time. This made fans and loyal viewers confused with who she will chose at the end of the show.
            The visual effects of the tv show have gratified the spectators of the renowned series. The quality of each episode is noted to be pleasing amongst the viewers. Through the years of filming and evolution of technology, the cast and crew of the vampire diaries have elevated in giving out high quality episodes especially the scenes where Elena is with her doppelganger which is acted by the same actress Nina Dobrev, viewers will definitely be convinced that the two characters are in the same room. Combining both the talents of the men behind the cameras, directors, producers and the amazing actors and actresses, the series have delivered a marvelous series that have hooked people of varied ages for almost 5 years now.
            The show have been imminently compared with the movie Twilight because of the love triangle between Edward the Vampire, Jake the werewolf and Bella the innocent teenage girl who fell in love with Edward. Unlike the movie, there is no werewolf involve around the love triangle but it is also incorporated along the show. In the movie, the leading lady have made up her mind as to who she really loves but in the series, Elena have been switching Salvatores along the season and it’s still not clear to the viewers who she will end up in the series finale. The tv series is most definitely extra detailed than the movie and is more complicated in terms of the story line.
            The vampire Diaries is a fun and entertaining tv series to watch and each episode doesn’t fail to quench the thirst of fans and lead them to demand for more about the love triangle of the characters and the difficulties that they are going through each season. I absolutely recommend this series to everyone out there who wants adventure, excitement and adrenaline rush all in one tv series.

Book Review



Message in a Bottle Review


                “THE NOVEL’S UNBASHED EMOTION—AND AN UNEXPECTED TURN— WILL PUT TEARS IN YOUR EYES”—PEOPLE, this is just one of the many comments that this book have received from the people who have read the book. It’s one of the books written by the #1 New York Times Best Selling Author Nicholas Sparks. This is an amazing creation of an incredible author that is filled with emotion and beauty.
                This is the second book that was adapted into a movie just like the first book of Nicholas Sparks, The Notebook. It is about the life of two characters Theresa and Garret meeting and falling in love because of fate. Garret was throwing a message in a bottle in the waves of the ocean for her departed wife Catherine and of all the places that the letter could have ended up with, fate has given it in the hands of a divorced and a mother of a twelve-year-old son, Theresa. Upon reading the letter, Theresa felt the passion and pain of the person who wrote it and it became her driving motivation to look for the person behind the exquisite letter. Just like Sparks’ first novel, The Notebook, the storyline revolved around a small and quite town which I believe one of the writing styles of the author.
The author has delivered a beautiful composition where he used a clean and smooth way of writing. He’s choice of words and sentence construction can be easily understood by the readers and at the same time, it is packed with artistry and grace that makes everyone fall in love with the characters of the story. With he’s way of writing, Nicholas have given the audience an experience of feeling the emotions, pain and happiness of each chapter of the novel. He has also injected real-life situations and problems that made the readers relate to the lives of Theresa and Garret.
Although a lot of readers felt bad about the ending of the novel where Garret died in the ocean and left Theresa suffering in pain of losing the love of her life, in my own perspective, I like how he ended the novel. Yes, it’s true that Garret’s death is tragic and heartbreaking but it also touched that part in my heart where I felt really bad and I can almost feel my heart getting crushed because they didn’t end up together. My point is that I felt their pain and loss, I felt how distressing and agonizing the feeling of losing someone and Nicholas Sparks gave me that experience. He made me feel that a certain emotion can exist just by reading a novel.
                Personally, I love the novel despite of others who didn’t like the ending I would say that it is a beautiful and passionate story. Every single detail was magnificent and the emotions carried out by the characters are extraordinary and exceptional. I bow to Nicholas Sparks for creating a beautiful piece of art and sharing it to the world.

Movie Review


The Conjuring Review

                Here comes a horror movie that everyone is talking about—The Conjuring. This movie has been popular over the internet for the past few weeks. People from different social sites like facebook, twitter, tumblr and even on youtube are talking like crazy about this movie.
                The Conjuring is a rated R film directed by James Wan who is popular in directing other horror movies such as Insidious, Saw and etc. Unlike Insidious and Saw who had many sequels, James Wan finally jumped into another type of horror film that is based on real life events.  The movie is established on a real life exploits of Ed and Lorraine Warren, a married couple that investigates paranormal events. The film is focused on the Warren’s famous case where they investigated a witch’s curse on a family who lives in what seems to be a serene farm. The movie started off by introducing a possessed doll named Annabelle who torments the life of two young nurses. At first, I thought the movie is all about Annabelle scaring the souls out of people because Annabelle’s creepy face is shown all over the movie’s posters and trailers. But then, the freaky doll was only given a small part in the movie which is kind of a bummer. They then introduced the real center of the story, the Perron family, who innocently moves in a cursed house where they experienced all weird stuff like birds knocking dead in their house, picture frames falling out from their walls, and a paranormal entity (appearing every 3:07 in dawn) who’s playing “hide and clap” with them and dragging their children’s feet while sleeping. They also presented an odd looking tree with no leaves on it, it was said to be the spot where the witch who confessed her love to Satan committed suicide The Perrons were genuinely  helped by the Warrens in which they were able to defeat the demonic curse at the end. But this is after all the dispute that they encountered against the dark entity. The film have shown how hard the family fought when Mrs. Perron got possessed, their daughter got dragged across the living room and was slammed on walls and windows, the police (who only wanted to help) got bitten and knocked off by the possessed Mrs. Perron and ghosts of different entity showing up in front of their faces all of a sudden. It was a great horror movie, there are a lot of breathe taking moments where you would freeze in your seat waiting for the ghost to show up but then it doesn’t happen and while you’re all relaxed, something will show up on the screen that will make you jump off your chair and you’ll have that mini heart attack that will make guys scream like a little girl. With all of the different scary elements and the organized plot presentation, the movie has successfully caught the hearts of the viewers who loves horror films. 
                The movie has succeeded in giving people a horror film that is worth watching for movie goers who loves to get goose bumps. The effects and timing of the paranormal entity in the film were very accurate and effective. This film has given us a happy ending where the Perron family was released from the curse which we missed from Insidious and all of the sequels of Saw. I also love the idea of the clock stopping at exactly 3:07 in the morning and whenever I wake up at dawn to go to the rest room, that part of the movie always make me alert and vigilant with my surrounding which is kind of silly. This only shows that the movie has an impact on me and other people who watched this film. What I would have loved more is for them to show a little bit more of Annabelle in the film because I was interested about her part of the story where I kind of didn’t get from the film. But if I have to describe this film in one word, it would be “spine-chilling”.  So if you haven’t watched the movie, I guarantee, you will never play hide and clap ever again and you will remember this film for the rest of your human life.
