i'm still upset because of my files. huhuhu.. but what's done is done. heck, i can still go online, right? aish.. i need someone to look at my pc. i still think there's something wrong with it... good thing some of the fics i love are saved in my USB... i need to buy a 4G thumb drive. *sniff*
anyway, there are news that HongKong concert will be on October 20 and 21. i so want to go!!! i am going!! it's a 2-day concert! and i'm also planning on going to that Taiwan one. but... that scuba diving thingie is making me think. should i go with scuba diving and then just go to the HK concert? or cancel the scuba diving thing and go on both places? aish... i think i can still save up for the HK and TW concert even if i went ahead with the scuba diving thing. but i am still planning to buy some gadget. aarrgghh... why do i want so many things? *sniff*
let's just see how everything will turn out. *cross fingers*
as i've said some posts ago, i've finished with Just Maybe, The Bum Who Fell Into a Pothole, and now Linked To You. should i write a review?
ok then...
Just Maybe
this story is very promising. i would have liked it better if the characters were given more life (?!) it just seems like everything's ... how do i put it. ok... the characters weren't given much chance to shine. it's more on the situation actually. i dunno. i like fics with interesting characters placed on amusing (sometimes awkward) situations. the story was able to touch on the character's personality alright... but i felt it was such a cliffhanger. i felt that there's got to be something more to the characters, something that was forgotten to be written there.... or maybe i was just reading fics with weird characters. but overall, it was nice. maybe a little more situational chapters to give the characters the chance to shine on their own and to make readers really know the characters.. but then that would make the fic too long, and long fics aren't exactly everyone's cup of tea.
The Bum Who Fell Into A Pothole
this is L-O-V-E!!! it's a weird/unusual character placed in a very, very common situation. and that line... "because i fell into a pothole and i can't get out" something part. shoot.. that did it for me. i was smiling like crazy when i read that. i guess what i really liked about the story was how well-thought/planned it was. and the characters were so interesting that you'd want to get to know them, as in really know them. it's got that teasing effect, making you want to spend all night just reading to find out what will happen (which is what i did)... there were a few times when it was quite predictable, but the way the writer writes it out make it so interesting that instead of being irritated about the story being predictable, you'd be amused with it. now i know why a lot of people recommend this.
soompi writers are really good...
Linked To You (Part 1 and 2 + sidestory)
now this one... i really like this. what was lacking in part 1 was completely covered in part 2 and the sidestory. you see, in part 1 i was complaining that Seo Dae Young was too vague. which made it interesting, alright. but sometimes it annoys me, but that made me love his character more. part 1 has just the right blends... not too dramatic, not too funny. and YoungJun and JiEun's characters are simply love. that's why i was so disappointed in the second part. that was the only letdown for me, in the second part... the second part was so dramatic. it's got so many crying and depressed scenes... but what am i to do? i love fics like that. it's not actually angsty... just sad. but i'm glad that it's a happy ending. and just for the record: i am loving the author's way of writing. i love it. i am now the author's fan. i dunno, i just love the way she wrote the story.
*off to find more stories by the same author*
next on my reading list are stories from moe, the same person who wrote My PingPing Boy. and maybe Keys Before My Eyes. oh yeah, i'm also going to read Beach Boy. hmm.. got so many stuff to read.. *happy happy*
ok, i have a lot of things to do. geez... first i need my pc looked at by a desktop specialist. seriously. then i need to install the missing programs/softwares i need. i've got MS Office up and running, as well as my media players, i guess all i need is the cyberdvd thingie and photoshop. oh... and i need to redo the banner for the CassPH layout. i was only able to have a backup of the JPG image, wasn't able to backup the PSD file. *sigh*
i have so many things to do.. i want to cry... and work is not helping that much either.
*sniff*
