Demigods, Magicians, Realitants

Okay, so you probably have listened to the song 'Good Kid' from The Lightning Thief Musical which will begin on March 23 at the Lucille Lortel Theatre, because if you haven't then you better go watch it here , folks. I really like the lyrics, since it's simple but seriously, seriously, sERIOUSLY. Touching. I literally cried when I first hear it, because hOW CAN YOU NOT. Although there are a few parts that struck me as not quite right... But anyway, if you're not native to English like me, and you're hoping to find the lyrics, I got your back, fam. I wrote down the words as well as I could, but if you think there're some errors, just let me know! Six schools in six years Been kicked out of every place Everything I ever do is wrong Never find where I belong Everybody on my case The same old story The same old song Don’t act up, don’t act out Be strong I keep my head down I keep my chin up But it ends up all the same With pack your bags...

A bout a month ago, I bought Rainbow Rowell's   Carry On   on a whim. Well, not really on a whim per se, since a certain friend of mine had been nagging me nonstop to buy the book. But, I hadn't even think about visiting the bookstore until my class is redirected to an event held by major in our university's central library.  You see, there's this bookstore in the library stuffed with local and imported books which never fail to make drool each time I so much as glance on its direction. I even have to withdraw my money from the ATM because I didn't have enough, ha. But trust me, it was all worth it.  Carry On   is   magic (pun intended). Breathtaking. Genius. RIGHT UP MY STREET. I feel like reading a super-brilliant Drarry fanfic (and yeah, Drarry is my HP OTP aside from the canon Ronmione, sue me). It's magical, lovely,   angsty , and simply makes me giddy. Darn, I always have a thing for oblivious pining and emotionally constipated chara...

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...

IN WHICH SADIE TEAMS UP WITH ANNABETH . Well, before this our dearest Uncle Rick has provided us with the encounter of Percy and Carter in 'The Son of Sobek'. In this one, he will generously present us the meeting between two female lead-role from both world. According to Uncle Rick, this particular short-story will be included in The Mark of Athena paperback. But will also have the e-book version, in case you don't want to buy another MoA. For more details you can look up into Uncle Rick's blog   here .  But, in case you don't want to download it, here is the free sample: THE STAFF OF SERAPIS  An Annabeth Chase/Sadie Kane Adventure Until she spotted the two-headed monster, Annabeth didn’t think her day could get any worse.  She’d spent all morning doing makeup work for school. (Skipping classes on a regular basis to save the world from monsters and rogue Greek gods was seriously messing up her GPA.) Then she’d turned down a movie with ...

Ok, soo, yeah, hey, hello, long time no post. It's been a tough, tough time for me. I still haven't get any university to go to *sob*. Please just pray for me so I can continue posting without postponing. So, this is it! The House of Hades Chapter One, the sneak peek! Credits go to our beloved cruel heart-torturer Uncle Rick! And www.fanpop.com :) Chapter 1 HAZEL DURING THE THIRD ATTACK, Hazel almost ate a boulder. She was peering into the fog, wondering how it could be so difficult to fly across one stupid mountain range, when the ship's alarm bells sounded. "Hard to port!" Nico yelled from the foremast of the flying ship. Back at the helm, Leo yanked the wheel. The  Argo II  veered left, its aerial oars slashing through the clouds like rows of knives. Hazel made the mistake of looking over the rail. A dark, spherical shape hurtled toward her. She thought: Why is the moon coming at us? Then she yelped and hit the deck. The huge...

First I just want to say that this story IS NOT MINE. I'm just re-posting it. Credits go to our dearest uncle Rick Riordan and Hyperion Books. The link to the official page is here   The Son of Sobek   This is just a sneak peek, but because this is the crossover between Percy Jackson and Carter Kane that I've waited for so long, I decided to post it anyway. Enjoy reading for free :) >>>>> The surface of the river churned with bubbles. The crocodile was gone, but standing in the marsh about twenty feet away was a teenage guy in jeans and a faded orange T-shirt that said CAMP something. I couldn’t read the rest. He looked a little older than me—maybe seventeen—with tousled black hair and sea-green eyes. What really caught my attention was his sword—a straight double-edged blade glowing with faint bronze light. I’m not sure which of us was more surprised. For a second, Camper Boy just stared at me. He noted my khopesh and wand, and I got t...

HELLO, WORLD(S)! Who wants to join me celebrating over.... THIS! What? the picture is unclear?  Well, here ya go...  THIS!! Still unclear??? Okay...  THIS!!! If it's still unclear then perhaps there's something wrong with your eyes ;p So, on December 9th 2012, about 1.30 pm my time, I won this book. The Red Pyramid by Rick Riordan. Translated. SIGNED.  The only one in the whole universe. Yes, I know, wanna scream out and point finger, WHY YOU??   That's the exact thing I had in mind.  WHY ME? HOW COULD IT BE ME? HOW COULD IT BE A GIRL NAMED NUR ROHMAH AZ-ZAHRA WHO'S CRAZY ABOUT PERCY JACKSON AND CLEARLY THE MOST RANDOM GIRL IN THE WHOLE UNIVERSE? Okay, a little bit too much perhaps. But I am so THRILLED. And I am not complaining anymore. I don't want to push my luck.  I won the book on an event --Indonesia Reading Festival--  in Plaza Festival, Jakarta. The ...

Some of you may have read it, some of you may not. So I’m just going to post this. This is a scene that supposed to be a part of Rick Riordan’s The Lightning Thief but he said that it would be better if this scene was deleted and I can't understand why.  Personally I do think this scene is very interesting. Really, I don’t know why he’d deleted it. But enough for the talk. Enjoy! When everybody had returned to their seats and finished eating their meals, Chiron pounded his hoof again for our attention. Mr. D got up with a huge sigh. "Yes, I suppose I'd better say hello to all you brats. Well, hello. Our activities director Chiron says the next capture-the-flag is Friday. Cabin Five presently holds the laurels." A bunch of ugly cheering rose from the Ares table. "Personally," Mr. D continued, "I could care less, but congratulations. Also, I should tell you that we have a new camper today. Peter Johnson." Chiron murmured somet...

October 2nd, the date of The Mark of Athena published.  But not in Indonesia.  I still have to wait for weeks until I get the book in my hand. Not the translated version, no. the English version. But still I have to wait for  weeks ! Oh, God, this is killing me.  But fortunately I've found some sneak peek that -makes me more anxious about the book, yes, but also washed a bit of thirst of Rick Riordan's stories- maybe you want to see. If you're as anxious as I am. But I warn you, this could caused a heart attack.  Don't say I didn't warn you. You can go to Barnes & Noble to read the sneak peek. They are so kind to let anxious helpless readers from faraway land to read the 1st, 2nd, and... the 3rd chapter.  What? You don't believe what I say?  Follow this link and washed your thirst! :)  http://www.barnesandnoble.com/sample/read/9781423140603
