Recent Hapennings

Hey there! there's been a lot going on since last time. First of all, my uncle, to whom I was close to (I don't know why people kept asking me THAT particular question :/ ) passed away... :( Yeah.... So that totally shocked everyone. I mean, we knew he was sick and stuff, but he was showing signs of recovery! I don't know what else to add here. :( Even though I didn't seem him that much this year and all, I will miss him.....

A few days after that, I had my Birthday. I've now officially turned 17! :) (hold your applause) To some of my classmates, I seem like an old man, but I kinda see where they're coming from. It was a pretty sick day. Starting off, I got a couple of "happy Birthday" greetings from a lot of people, whom I had honestly thought, had completely forgotten about me. So that made my day! :) I went to school, and that turned out to be pretty uneventful :) The most important part of that day was me getting the two books Ive been waiting for for a LOOOOOOOONNNNGGGGG time!!!

The two books were Inheritance and Scorpia Rising.

Inheritance (if you don't already know) is the 4th and Final book of the series, "The Inheritance Cycle"

It basically ties up a lot of loose ends and stuff. I cant really tell anyone much about the book, cos' my friends have force me to swear that I shall not ruin the book for others. So far so good. :) I'm also proud to say that I managed to read this book in less than a day!! :D :D
yeah yeah, there'll be a big bunch of you that probably wont believe this, but hey, I dont care! :D I've finished reading it!! :D









The second book I read was "Scorpia Rising"

The book is the finale of the Alex Rider Series. The series started with "Stormbreaker" which also got turned into a movie. the Stormbreaker was followed by Point Blanc, Skeleton Key, Eagle Strike, Scorpia, Ark Angel, Snakehead, Crocodile Tears and then finally Scorpia Rising.

The first part of the series revolved around 14 year old super spy, Alex Rider. M16, (British Secret Service) recruits the boy after the Death of his Uncle, Ian Rider. After that Alex goes onto stopping the world's most dangerous people and organisations. I'm sorry, I know Im doing a poor job explaining the series and yeah, but just read the book!!!!! And then see the movie!! I know that the movie's a little off (a lot) but its worth watching too.

And in between then and today, a lot of minor stuff happened. School, studies, music (or lack of) and some other really random stuff. but enjoyable and tolerable times. :)

TODAY, however, someone sorta came up to me and told me about THEIR school. Normally, whenever someone hears the word "SCHOOL" two things happen: they cringe inwardly; they feel loyalty towards their school. I was cringing. But the way that they spoke about that school was making me remember a lot of things that I miss.

The School was part of the IB (International Baccalaureate) (I cant even pronounce that.... :/ ) and it was located here, in Chennai. I have to admit, the idea is extremely tempting when I think about it. It reminds me a lot about a place where I once was.

It reminds me too much I guess :P Ah well... Its a good thing its too late for me to join or something :P :) who knows. :P

This place is amazing from what Ive heard about it. pity there aren't many people in the 11th and stuff :/ Ah well.

I just realize that I'm not making much sense here and that most of this entire blog post is sorta vague and all.

Ok last thing on my mind tonight: Music! I haven't been able to listen to many new songs in the recent month so I'm gonna be going back to some of my oldest favorite songs. I've got two in mind right now.

#1 Light Surrounding You by Evermore


One amazing song that I've always loved :)
I hope everyone else also enjoys this! :D

#2 I am The Doctor

This is from my all time favorite sitcom, Doctor Who. The story of the last of the Time lords as he drifts through space and time. This song is from the 5th Series, in which the part of The Doctor, is played by Matt Smith. If any of you have read "Brisingr" then you would remember that when Eragon and Arya are alone one night on their way back to the Varden, Arya writes a lot of weird phrases in the ground next to them. one of them, says this : "Adrift upon the sea of time, the lonely god wanders from shore to distant shore, upholding the laws of the stars above"
All I can say is : :D :D :D :D




Hope you enjoy the two songs and that you have a great night! :D
