Demigods, Magicians, Realitants

There was once a girl. An ordinary girl. With an ordinary life, living with an ordinary family in an ordinary house. She was not the prettiest, nor the cleverest, nor the richest. But there is something extraordinary about her, something unheard before, something an ordinary girl should never had. For ever since she can remember, she believes she has been carrying a curse. May you live your life as people around you live, May you make bonds as people around you make, May you grow and learn as do people around you, May you speak and be heard as do people around you. But until the end, never shall you speak truth of your heart, Until the end, never shall you speak of things in the deep of your desires, Until the end, shall you choke upon the words of your true feelings, Until the end, forever shall your tongue be tied.

Liar, they said. Deceiver, they said. Untrue, they said Two-faced, they said. I was contemplating. Am I? Do I? But I do not lie. I was merely creating alternatives from a hint of truth. I do not deceive. I was merely subtly indicating of things that may or may not be. I am not untrue. I was merely not letting out all the truth to deluded minds. I am not a two-faced. I was merely relieving my contradicting self. Will you scorn me for that? Will you scorn me for lending a better reality to sooth frightened hearts? Will you scorn me for not blatantly speak of what I am not certain? Will you scorn me for holding the truth to minds who would only repel it? Will you scorn me for embracing two contradicting poles, even if both are the true me? If it is so, then perhaps I am true to all your sayings. Or perhaps, it is you who are too blind to see.

Oke, jadi ini adalah posting selingan, cerita sehari hari penulis yang salah seorang temannya request untuk dituliskan. Karakter karakter dalam cerita ini sepenuhnya nyata. Jika ada kesamaan nama/tokoh/lokasi maupun yang lainnya... then it's all hitsuzen! Because universe is rarely so lazy.  ~~*~~ Malam hari sekitar sepekan yang lalu, aku, ibuku, dan dua adikku (Nurul & Ihsan), berkelana ke sebuah toko stationery  langganan kami di Perumnas III, relatif dekat dari rumahku di Cerewed. Kami mengendarai 2 motor. Di satu motor ada aku dan Nurul, sedang di motor lainnya ibuku dan Ihsan. Aku dan Nurul berangkat belakangan, karena ibuku dan Ihsan isi bensin lebih dulu. Singkat cerita, saat aku dan Nurul tiba di toko, sepasang anggota keluarga kami itu belum tiba. Alhasil, kami berdua keliling keliling sambil melihat lihat berbagai jualan toko tersebut lebih dahulu. Tak berapa lama, ibu datang menghampiri kami dengan senyum yang, kalau dipikir pikir sekarang, sedikit kak...

So, I'll be facing the uni exam in 2 days --wait, make that one. It's 12.54 am already-- Aand I still have the chance to post a sneak peek in style. 'Cause I'm just badass that way. Anyway, this sneak peek is official from our dearest, sassiest, most graceful, the one and only uncle Rick's tumblr, who has grant us the opportunity to take a peek at his latest wondrous creation, Percy Jackson's Greek Goods. WHOOOP! *currentlydoingsomersault* Ehm, so I was saying? Oh yeah, sneak peek. What can be more bombastic than having PJGG's sneak peek! Well, I hope you're prepared to be blown because... it's not the only sneak peek! HO HO HO. This time The Ridiculously Righteous Richard Russel Riordan will be conspiring with..two... three.... no, SIX author under Disney publisher... I know. Definitely Mega-Awesome.  Anywaay, since this post is about a sneak peek, I'll take a pity on you and stop my ramblings... Oh, and just an advice... yo...

I was skimming through my cellphone files when I find this. This is a modified version from my post A Prophecy : Darkness and Despairs (see here ). I already forgot I had write this and when I read it I thought, hey this is isn't half bad, how did I write it again? And so I decided to replace the old one with this.  The story line is actually incompatible with the fact that Nico revealed to be gay in House of Hades (I think I write this one before HoH is published), but, because I like how it is written, maybe I can make some changes here and there so that this'll go smoothly. But that's a challenge for after-Blood of Olympus. And don't get me wrong, I'm still cheering for PERCICO! ~~*~~ In despair, too great to recall Of questions a mark reveal all Into endless darkness must the light fall With blood of the half spilled Eye of the day shall be awakened And in light bearer’s hand an end decided “…Take her, take her, drag her to...

1:15 am. That's the time when a crazy idea suddenly popped into my head.  I was chatting with my friend, telling her that Connor Stoll really is mentioned in HoH (because she hasn't read HoH yet, future doctor, very busy) and fangirl things as such. My mind is still wandering around Nico’s love life and I think I was calculating possibilities of boys that could possibly be Nico’s type when it hit me. Connor Stoll. I mean, he didn't date anyone, right? And why did Annabeth specifically send it to Connor? Why Hermes’ shrine anyway? And Nico is going back to the camp, right? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? So shortly, I picture Nico’s coming back to the camp where the prince charming on white Pegasus already stand on guard waiting for him and ready to sweep him off his feet (of course, the prince outfit is probably stolen from camp store or somewhere else, and the Pegasus is probably bribed or threatened, but who cares details!) The point is, NICO FINALLY FINDS...

I was looking at this picture, and the first thing that crossed my mind is " Shelock, Sherlock, not angel..."  And if you still have no idea about what I'm talking about, look here . And it dreads me to think that Nico does  have a big chance to be dead in BoO. I mean, let's face it. He is a third-wheel on Percabeth relationship. He loves Percy too much. He is angsty  too much. And he still doesn't have the courage to open up to people. And remember that moment in Piper's POV, "...Nico kissed her cheek, which Piper found surprising. He hardly ever made gestures  of affection, even to his sister. He seemed to hate physical contact. Kissing Hazel…it was almost like  he was saying good-bye ..." I read that, and was so freaked out I cried. "...she realized that the hardest test for a child of Athena wasn’t leading a quest or facing  death in combat. It was making the strategic decision to step back, to let someone else t...
