I got accepted in the Athena Cabin!

YAY FOR ME!

It's been, what, two days since I applied for a character for the Athena cabin. And now, I can proudly say that I got in at last! I feel so lucky, since they won't be accepting any applications when the Athena cabin reaches 8 campers. I'm the 8th camper! How cool is that. The admin just accepted my app today (or last night while I was sleeping) and I made my very own signature already. I have every right to make one, since I'm already claimed. HOORAY.

So as you can see, Kylee Reyes, my character, is played by Maple Batalia. Ever since I first watched the Diary of a Wimpy Kid, this girl caught my attention. She's a pretty, petite girl and a good actress too. But it's a sad thought that she already passed away, shot by a jealous ex-boyfriend in the parking lot of her University. So in her memory, I'm using her as the role player in the Camp-Half Blood RPG and she totally fits for a daughter of Athena! She didn't inherit Athena's blue eyes, though.

Plus, today, I posted my very first thread and I'm looking forward to a very hardcore RPing for the next few weeks!

Percy Jackson and The Olympians: The Last Olympian

This is my own copy of The Last Olympian. My mother bought it from Jarir Bookstore. It's a hard bound copy and the first page of it is somewhat like a symbol of Olympus. It's awesome.

Yesterday, I locked myself in my room all day and did nothing but read The Last Olympian. Now, I can say that this final book of the series is the most intense and most thrilling of all. I don't remember a chapter where there's no battle happening. Maybe the first few chapters are a bit peaceful, but it always ended up with a conflict and I guess that's what made the story so awesome.

The romantic parts of the story are also a bonus. As I was reading halfway through the book, I was wondering whether Percy will end up with Rachel Dare or Annabeth Chase. I tried to look at the series in general, and I ended up thinking he'd date Annabeth in the end. But there was also something with Rachel Dare that made me think she and Percy would end up together.

These are my copies of the Percy Jackson books. If you're wondering why I don't have the 2nd installment, I left it in Jeddah. But no worries, I'll get it back in a month.

Percy Jackson is also a sarcastic hero. When he gets in trouble, it makes his day great. He's also more like Greg Heffley from the Diary of a Wimpy Kid. When a hero in a prophecy dies, he always thinks that HE is the one mentioned. I don't know exactly what is wrong with him but I think he likes the thought of dying heroic. On the other hand, he's a smart hero. He always has a plan and strategy in hand and it works, of course, with the help of his friends Grover, Annabeth and his brother, Tyson. Plus, he's also one powerful half-blood and I'm not surprised, he's the son of Poseidon, one of the Big Three.

Overall, I love the series! If you love Harry Potter, you'll love Percy Jackson as much. I recommend this series to everyone who knows how to read. So go to your nearest book store and grab your copy now, if you haven't. A salute to Rick Riordan, author of the series. If J.K. Rowling is the Queen, then you are my King.

The Three Musketeers by Alexandre Dumas

We were in SM North Edsa yesterday and I finally got to watch The Three Musketeers in 3D! It was my first time watching a movie in 3D so I enjoyed every bit of it.

What happened exactly was first, we went to SM North Edsa, ate lunch, and headed to National Bookstore to apply me a Laking National Card. But the lady said that there will be a new system of the Laking National Card, and if we wait at least a week, we can try to apply, and get the Card right away. Plus, they said they don't collect points anymore. I don't exactly know what she meant but, oh well.

So, as I expected, Logan Lerman had SO MUCH sword fights in the movie and I love it. He was d'Artagnan in the movie, a young country boy who wants to be a musketeer himself, and accidentally meets the actual three musketeers on his way to look for the guy who insulted his horse and almost killed him, if it weren't for Milady de Winter, who stopped the guy because of d'Artagnan's pretty face. I agree with her.

The movie starts with a little bit of introduction of the three musketeers, Athos, Porthos, and Aramis. They, together with Milady, sort of looked for certain keys to open a dungeon full of scrolls. They were looking for the scroll which contains an instruction on how to build a flying boat or whatever they call it. Turns out, Milady was a traitor, and she worked for the Duke of Buckingham. After a year, there comes d'Artagnan, training in the grass fields with his father while they chat about being a musketeer. His mother comes with his white with black patched horse, named Buttercup or at least I remember it was.

After that, a series of sword fights comes in and the adventure starts right away. There were comedic scenes, which really made me laugh, especially the one who served the three musketeers, who always gets a "shut up" for mumbling non-sense and gets to sleep at the balcony with birds pooping on his head all night. All I could say was, d'Artagnan was one cocky teenage looking man. And he needs a haircut.

I bought The Three Musketeers Book by Alexandre Dumas and was translated by Richard Pevear. I just learned that the original book wasn't in English so it was news to me. I'm looking forward to reading this. First, it's a classic. Second, I'm crushing on d'Artagnan.

It costs Php605.00 and I know it's quite the price but I just couldn't help it. I spoil myself when it comes to books. And my mom and my aunt got no issues about it. ;)

Soon enough, I'm gonna post a review about this, after The Labyrinth and The Last Olympian.

The Three Musketeers 3D

So my aunt, cousin and I are planning to see a movie tomorrow but the main problem is we are currently in a war between Real Steel and The Three Musketeers. Basically, the sole reason why I wanted to watch The Three Musketeers is because Logan Lerman is in it. I watched the trailer just a few minutes ago and I think my heart skipped a beat.

See, Logan Lerman is one of the celebrity boys I'm currently having a crush on. I can actually line him up with Devon Bostick (Rodrick Heffley from Diary of a Wimpy Kid) and Skandar Keynes (Edmund Pevensie from The Chronicles of Narnia). This Logan in The Three Musketeers is not so far from the Logan in the Percy Jackson and The Olympians: The Lightning Thief. He is also into a lot of sword fights in this movie, well, at least in the trailer.

Plus, unexpectedly, there's a kissing scene in this movie. I made sure it wasn't Logan, so I tried re-watching the trailer a few more times. But yes, it was Logan with this girl. I'm pretty sure there's a good and valid reason why they kissed.

The bottom line: I have to watch this movie because of Logan, seriously. Either tomorrow, or next week, or next month. As long as I see it in a huge screen of a theatre. His face is just so damn perfect. I also wanna see him in a sword fight once more, after The Lightning Thief, because I'm quite sure that I'm gonna have to wait for a long time before The Sea of Monsters is out.
