Safe Haven

Safe Haven is the new book added to my Nicholas Sparks collection novels. I guess my goal 101 is on the move now. hehe, I stopped buying books since I felt like I was book hoarding already. I bought plenty of books which turned out I didn't have time to read --- I mean all of them. 

But this book was a gift from a very cutie friend of mine, I didn't expect that. It was her birthday but picture this out she gave me a gift. hehe, She's really a kind hearted lady. She knows that I adore Nicholas Sparks and I'll be ecstatic to have one. Safe Haven is my fourth book now. Yehay!! I will read this one maybe this weekend so I can post the review. Thank you so much to my cutie sister Elj for this book. waaaa I told her I have to buy her one. I will, next time *wink*

Here's the summary:
When a mysterious young woman named Katie appears in the small North Carolina town of Southport, her sudden arrival raises questions about her past. Beautiful yet self-effacing, Katie seems determined to avoid forming personal ties until a series of events draws her into two reluctant relationships: one with Alex, a widowed store owner with a kind heart and two young children; and another with her plainspoken single neighbor, Jo. Despite her reservations, Katie slowly begins to let down her guard, putting down roots in the close-knit community and becoming increasingly attached to Alex and his family.

But even as Katie begins to fall in love, she struggles with the dark secret that still haunts and terrifies her . . . a past that set her on a fearful, shattering journey across the country, to the sheltered oasis of Southport. With Jo’s empathic and stubborn support, Katie eventually realizes that she must choose between a life of transient safety and one of riskier rewards . . . and that in the darkest hour, love is the only true safe haven.

    Unfortunately this book did not satisfy either need. I get absolutely no pleasure in reading a fiction or non fiction account of violence against a woman. I was greatly disappointed in this book and would not recommend it.

Feels like Home

Lyrics | Edwina Hayes - Feels Like Home lyrics I really love this song. It's a song from the movie MY Sisters Keeper. The beach scene was the saddest part because of the song. I cried and I was moved. I realized a lot of things in life. The song is really a good choice. I love this part of the song:     "And if you knew how I wanted someone to come along  And change my life the way you've done" I wonder who's that someone. But I'm pretty much sure HE is always there for me. I'm gonna cry again and I hate it.I hope you like this as much as I do.           crying mode...

A chain of short stories about their distance.. A story about Takaki Tono and his close friend Akari Shinohara. The film consists of three episodes: Cherry Blossom, Cosmonaut, Byosoku 5 Centimeter.

The Tailed Beast

Image
The tailed beasts [bijū] are nine giant demons which signifies the plot of Naruto series. They differ by the number of tails they have, from one to nine. The tailed beasts are large, living forms of "Chakra Monsters" (Chakura no Bakemono), giving them power that far outmatches most shinobi. However, this immense strength is tempered due to their bestial nature, which restricts them from being intelligent enough to use it effectively.  When the tailed beasts are sealed within humans, they are able to benefit from the knowledge of their hosts, giving them the ability to speak and better utilize their powers. Akatsuki has been capturing the tailed beasts and their hosts, and as of the Fourth Great Shinobi World War possess seven of the nine beasts. [source] For those who love watching the anime, I’m sure you are familiar with the tailed beast. In Naruto there are actually 9 tailed beasts mentioned. But the original of the entire demon beast is the Ten-tailed beast
