Week4

Hello! Fall semester has already began!!

I was reading a original version of Jane Eyre but its so hard to read through so I've changed the book to..

"How Starbucks Saved My Life"



Why did you choose it?

well, everyone knows Starbucks and most of people have been there at least once.  And the title of this book is interesting because Starbucks saved someone's life! :)

I god it this Wendnesday  so i couldn't read a lot but I'll write down a little bit the begging of the story.

One of the main character and also the author, Michael Gates Gill used to be a kind of winner in life. He was born and grew up rich, wealthy family.  After his
commencement at Yale, he got a job soon from famous and biggest advertisement company. Mainly he had been working with Dior, Ford... He was satisfied with it even though he sacrificed a lot from his family.

Story are continued..

One day, his one of colleagues, Linda asked him to have a breakfast.

Linda: " We have to let you go,
             Michael."

Anyway im just reading at Starbucks. lol

Continue!!!

Week15!!!!

As Carrie leaves for New York for the summer program, she loses her money and address of the program, and must call the only person's number she has- Donna's cousin. The story ends with Carrie calling and saying "Hello, is this Samantha Jones?"


I'd like to watch it on tv!!

Week14

    As senior year ends, Carrie becomes happier. She gets into the summer writing program after reapplying. She makes up with George. As graduation approaches, she decides to leave the past behind her and make up with everyone, including Lali and Sebastian. Lali tells her they broke up after she caught him kissing her sister. Carrie laughs and comes to the revelation that no one can hurt you anymore if you forgave them.

Week 13

   The next few weeks are an emotional roller coaster for Carrie. Having to deal with the loss of both Sebastian and Lali, she hates herself for not doing something sooner. She also finds out it was Lali playing a lot of the pranks and not Donna LaDonna. Carrie focuses on other aspects of her life, like getting into Brown and writing for the paper. She gets into Brown and decides to not care about high school anymore, and decides to go out on a limb and write pieces for the newspaper, targeting students and exposing them. She also takes a photography class to distract herself from her drama. But she finds more drama when Donna LaDonna is forced to be her partner. She tells Carrie she hates her not for stealing Sebastian, but because she's a snob. Carrie is stunned by this and realizes Donna might not be so bad. They eventually becomes friends and Donna says she should meet her cousin in New York.

Week 12

   A few weeks later, all attend a concert. Carrie forgave Sebastian but was still suspicious of Lali and him. While having fun at the concert, Carrie gets on stage much to the dislike of Sebastian. Carrie leaves shortly after due to curfew but Lali and Sebastian stay. Feeling guilty and wanting to apologize about getting on stage, she goes back in to find him. Carrie think he might have left but sees him kissing Lali. Again, Carrie is furious and yells at them. Lali tells Carrie they've been dating for a while and Carrie is both mad and sorry for what happened.


everyone dont work too hard!

Week 11

   Carrie gets really angry. Sebastian clearly sees nothing wrong and this only infuriates Carrie more. All her friends support her and ask if they're gonna break up. Carrie cannot answer this but Lali tells her she'll take care of it.

I can't wait next chapter.
