I second that on some degree. :) yan ang conviction, KD!

[K.D.]

Onga. Bakit ba? Kung makapanlait ng Twilight. Inggit lang kayo har har.

[Angus]

Kung makapagtanggol ka naman KD, parang 5 stars mo ang Twilight!

[bookhuntershin]

Hahaha basta I like Cedric Diggory's character more than Eduard Cullen's :))

HP vs Twilight na pala ito, ilipat na to sa isang thread or F2F book discussion :)

Honestly, i'm enjoying this group and salamat sa mainit na pagtanggap...

And speaking of The Hunger Games, isama na rin natin yung mga die-hard Hunger Games fans para mas masaya :D

[Flipreads]

Para masaya:

Narnians vs Harry Potter vs Twilight vs The Hunger Games.

Tapos yung matitira babasa na lang ng His Dark Materials...

[Maestrel]

I'm Maestrel but call me Mawi. 19 years old. I love photography, I'm also an amature writer at wattpad (www.wattpad.com/user/fragile333). I also post some of my works here at Goodreads.

[Flipreads]

Twilight vs Hunger Games? Diba dapat Twilight vs The Vampire Diaries? Kasi sabi nila Twilight was ripped off TVD...

[K.D.]

Angus: Very rare lang akong magbigay ng 5 stars. I follow the GR definition. I gave Twilight a 3 kasi I liked it. Yon lang.

LS: Thanks for respecting my opinion. I like it no matter what people say.

Lahit kasi yun for MG/YA.

Hindi ko maitindihan ang tanong. Vampire Diaries was pubished in 1991, so hindi niya puwedeng irip-off ang Twilight.

Hindi rin na-rip off ng Twilight and Vampire Diaries dahil iba naman ang approach at themes niya. Pareho lang silang may vampire at YA and main character.

Parang sinabi mo na ni-rip off ng Hunger Games and Battle Royale eh hindi naman. Mukhang pareho ang initial concept (paglalaban ng mga bata sa arena) pero iba rin ang themes at implementation nito: halimbawa, sa Battle Royale, preservation ng innocence ng main characters ang theme. Sa Hunger Games, survival at social change.

Hindi ako nagca-claim nito. Matagal na yang issue. I think LJ Smith even took legal action against Stephenie Meyer for plagiarism. Or she wanted to take legal action against her anyway. Something like that.

[Marjorie]

hello guys! I'm Marjorie, 18, and a very huge fan of YA books and romance! :))

[Iyah]

I'll be out 5:30 in the morning. I'm not sure where you guys are going to meet up for tomorrows outreach program. :(

[K.D.]

Iyah: You can go with me. We'll be at Aristocrat Roxas Blvd between 9-10 a.m. I'll treat you to brunch. Then you will help me decide what cakes to bring. :) I can pick you up at McDo QC (same meeting place) in 2009 ha ha at 8:00 a.m. What say you?

[Tuklas Pahina (TP)]

[Maria Ella]

Hi everyone~!

I'm Ella, accountant be profession, aspiring lawyer, and believes that I can change my world.

I live in a family divided by the beliefs in one's potential for society change (Dad wants to be an active member by rendering government service, Mum is a passive member by letting herself be "domesticated" i.e., housewife), but are bound by the notes like Ms. Maria in the Von Trapp Family singers. I guess we are like Ms. Maria's family. We all sing~!

What I love to scrutinize is Nicholas Sparks' and Paulo Coehlo's format of writing and how they instill beliefs not only in a girl's perspective, but also capturing a guy's viewpoint on how they see life as it is and how to go about it.

Last year I was able to undergo training sponsored by an Investment bank and the most-carried books are helpful with my escapades in UK. Thomas Hardy's Tess of the D'Urbervilles is my map when I went to Dorset and Salisbury while Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice is my map on my adventures to Bath, Somerset.

My recent favorite is David Nicholls' One Day - and this is my passport on feeling the "feel" of Edinburgh as the City and as my climb to the Arthur's Seat. :) I even went to the University of Edinburgh grounds at 4AM since Emma and Dex celebrated their night of graduation and walked from the pub to their flat via University grounds.

I FELT THE LOVE! :D

Any others?
Yeah, I am so geek in politics. We can talk on public policies, exercise of accounting profession and even Impeachment of ERAP and CJ Corona and how we discern the Filipino's attention between the two trials. haha.

Single, available and can mingle. haha
But when love begins - i guess my true persona comes in. "Babaeng bakla" version is one of my qualities and if friends see that part of me, I am not truly "opening up" yet. Call it an invisible cloak or whatever, I read on the net that it may also be termed as Defense Mechanism.

Lasingan? I can do that. I even walked on the City of London totally tipsy not minding whatever Brit or Tourist may look at me. :p Smoking? Nah, can't smoke and won't smoke because of the trauma I experienced on Dad's operation.

And yeah, let me say this: I CAN SING! name it and let me SING that (provided I know the song, its lyrics, and appreciate the message)

[Ila]

wow, very interesting introduction! :D hello ella! nice to meet you.. :)

Hi! I'm Reianne. But it's not my real name. I have used various names in my life but none seems to fit my personality and my face. (Emo?! Haha)

My week is divided like this: four days student, three days hobbyist. My hobbies include but not limited to: reading books, drawing, shopping, eating, organizing my things, falling asleep while busy,.....

Do I love reading? Yes, but now I'm stuck with The Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett. But I love it. :)

I love reading on paper. I love the sound of paper turning and the smell of printed letters and of yellowing pages and of newly printed photocopies of anything. So nerdy... :D

What else do I love? Right now I love Chinese mythology. I also love studying languages.

Nice to meet you!!
