Eccentric Soul

The Archived (The Archived, #1) by Victoria Schwab Ratings: ***** (5/5) I am amazed with this book. Maybe it's not that catchy on the first few chapters but the characters will just grow on you that fast and you will just enjoy the rest of the story, the rest of the book. I'll consider it now as one of my favorites. This series is different from the other books that I've read. I cannot totally say that it can be an Urban Fiction because it is more of paranormal or alter universes, things like that, because it talks about the world divided into three: The Outer (well our world), The Archive (where the Histories are kept, like a library) and The Narrows (the place between the Archive and Outer) where can be transported by means of doors and keys. There are also titles of people that play a crucial role in the book: the Keepers, Histories, Crew, Librarians, etc. (or other people I don't know how to call them yet). So what are they? Well, for starters, we believe in ...

Sometimes, I was afraid of praising Him online or praising Him out of the open with easiness because it might end up to be false, a lie or something that I would do just to show off. There's no denying that I believe in His existence. After doubting His presence for mostly of my teen years, I am now a firm believer of something supreme, of high god/s that beyond words could describe, our creator and the one who can listen, shrug, laugh and love on and on and on His own creations. My relationship with Him was too private to share to anyone but His greatness can be shared in words and actions - in the right moment. I believe in Him so much it hurts. I love Him beyond words, actions and thoughts.

When I was a kid, I always love to sing even though my mom doesn't support me or encouraged me when it comes to my voice but I have a toy microphone (tho I don't know who gave it to me) and that was my favorite toy. When I was in grade school, I always love to stay and play alone upstairs. I fancy observing the trees and most especially the wind from the window of the second floor house. You must know that I am weird now and that makes me a weirder kid. I don't mind playing alone or have an imaginary playmates and even talk to trees, love the feel of the wind thinking that it was my friend or even wondered if there were angels and demons fighting in every dark clouds that I see from the sky or when there are little lightnings from it. The little sense of nature that I can see from the windows around the second floor of our house was my entertainment and were my playmates. Upstairs is when I was alone but never felt alone. I might have diagnosed schizophrenia if I'm stil...

I have always been a little bit uncomfortable during Valentine's Day. I mean come on, who would not roll their eyes when they see some sweetness around them (too suddenly, on that day) especially when you're single. If there would be a politically made day or some traditional day, this could be (for me) the corniest one and a little bit illogical though appreciated. I can say sometimes, there comes a point in my life that I was really bitter for this day considering I haven't received a bouquet of roses or expecting anything since day 1 of my life. I mean who would not love roses and chocolates even though it's cliche, who would not appreciate valentine's day if there would be someone to celebrate it with, who would not celebrate it if people will not question you if you suddenly do some grand gesture for a special someone? Maybe people who doesn't have something to receive, to celebrate with and a special someone and that just describes me. But believe me, sinc...
