Bullying: A never-ending story
A bully (by my definition) is a cowardice person who thinks that the only way to make him/her feel superior is by dragging others down to their level.
Solution: Don’t get dragged down to their level, then. Be more.
The problem with my solution? Well, duh! It’s not easy.
Bullying happens everywhere, every time, to almost every one. Sadly, bullying happens the most at school. Kids and teenagers

The Side Effect of John Green
Many of you know how mad I fangirl TFIOS. (It's super mad. It's mad, mad, and mad). But I bet a few of you know why I adore John Green like mad. Is it because he’s a great author, close to being a superauthor? Well, yes. In writing TFIOS, he is a superauthor. But sadly, I don’t dig his other books.
There’s more to it to me than him being a superauthor. It‘s his other quality, the one that makes

Big, High, and Almighty
My six year old daughter told me yesterday, "I want to change my last name."
Me (rolled eyes dramatically): Yeah? To what?
Daughter : Obama. My name would be Nina Obama.
Me (laughed, and then stayed speechless)
Moral of the conversation :
"If you have a dream, aim it high, big, and almighty. Don't settle for a second best."

Here's the Thing
Here’s the thing.
This is a lovely box. My friends used this box to put my birthday present inside. I remembered that the gift was lovely, just as lovely as the box. That’s why I keep them both all these years.
Last night, my six year old daughter pulled the box out from under piles of boxes in our storage and brought it to me and asked if she could use it for her art. My daughter is known for

Review on Jellicoe Road (my last read in 2013)
Jellicoe Road by Melina Marchetta
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
As usual with Marchetta’s books, her first few chapters are always confusing.
After The Piper’s Son, I’ve thrown myself into Jellicoe with all my heart and soul. I didn’t read the synopsis, so imagine the double headache when I was bombardized with jumping scenes and dozens of strange names. You have people’s names, Boarding houses’
