The Importance of a Strong Internal Support Group

You know those times when you need guidance, when you need support, and you feel like there's no one around you to lean on? We all have moments of weakness. Most times we are strong, but there are times when that strength fails. Those are the times when we need a support group, but it's not everytime we have one. Then we feel alone.

BMM Log: October 2014

So sad, haven't read much outside of school work. No worries, though, because these books are still worth reading. In the music front, I basically stuck to my default ones. And in the movies, *sigh* not much going on there. Can't wait for Christmas break and the end of the semester.

Hear ye! Hear ye! #NoraRoberts

Nora Roberts' latest fantasy/magic book has been released. Well, it was released last October 28, I think, but since I was on hiatus, I'm just posting about this now.

You guys know I love Nora Roberts. I'm officially a fan, so I'll just simply, calmly, recommend this book to you instead of gushing about it. Blood Magick is the third book in her current series. There was some negative feedback when the first book came out as the characters seem reminiscent of her past Three Sisters Island trilogy. The circumstances of the characters are different, though, so that's fine with me. And any chance to read more of Nora Roberts fantasy books is welcome to me.

Spent last night listening to this on repeat:

Happy Halloween!

It's been a while on this blog. It's good to be back.

It's November 1 here in the Philippines, so many people in the cemeteries, so many people travelling to the provinces.

Aside from the customary cemetery visit, let me share with you my "traditions" during Halloween (some of them are so new I've only started doing them this year. *laughs*):

Watch Halloween Movies
Ah, my childhood. Every Halloween (my favorite holiday even against Christmas), I make it a point to watch at least one movie I've watched during childhood. I watched two this year:

 

The Halloween Tree: my absolute favorite! Halloween for me is this movie. Read the book, as well, for the full effect ;)
