Is it Love? Or is it just the Curse that brings us Together?

What if you find your Soul Mate... 
At the wrong time?

I'm done with the third Fallen book  - Passion by Lauren Kate and some of my questions had been answered! 

Before anything else, I could not promise that this is going to be SPOILER-FREE so you have to proceed at your own risk. And also, I'm not writing this to criticize how the novel was written or something like that. I'm not really entirely after how it was written, I'm more after the story. So if I'm praising it too much, that's because I love the Fallen series!

Until your soul is settled in a new life, 
Daniel's whole existence is a kind of torture.

I love, love Passion  so much because it told me what I've been wanting to read from the Fallen series - the past lives of Daniel and Luce. In this third installment, you could really feel the love between Daniel and Luce, especially Daniel's. Usually, I would hate books like this one because of the super-mushy and everyday-is-love content - both the main characters were greatly head-over-heels with one another. Actually I think that was one of the reasons why I hated Twilight. But while I was reading Passion, there was no hate or the feeling of  "eew, so much romance" thing in me... Maybe because I love the Fallen series so much and I love Daniel and Luce so much I can read whatever is in it. LoL. 

"I'm the one who bursts into flames."

"And he's the one who's left alone. 
The age-old question: Which is worse?"

Anyway, I have no comment until the character of Bill, the Scale and what he can do was introduced. I told myself, "What is he, Luce's fairy godmother in the form of a gargyole?" I actually somehow questioned his inclusion because it felt out of place for me. Luce could have discovered cleaving on her own and stole clothes from those era so she could fit in. Maybe Bill wasn't really needed. I thought he was just a guide. Until my big strashot question was answered. I was like "Maybe he really has to be there to answer some questions." Maybe there are still more to come that only Bill could do. Until Bill transformed and finally, finally revealed who he is. I was like "Oooh, Lucifer, why not?" That was when I finally understood why Bill was included. The real antagonist should appear now. So the tailored black suit man in the racetrack was him.

His love flowed without breaking, without stopping. 
Whereas Luce's love was wiped clean with every death, 
Daniel's grew over time, across all eternity.

Luce's quest should have been to find the loophole to end their curse. But what really happened is that by visiting and cleaving with her past lives, instead of finding the real solution, she just realized and understood how Daniel love her so much. I actually thought that it would be her who would discover the answer but the only thing that happened is her, loving Daniel, doubting him, understanding him, loving him again, giving up hope and then finally, believing in their love. Yes, Luce found a way to end it by using the starshot but it wasn't actually the answer. And it was Daniel who actually found it.

I will never give up on you. Even if it takes forever.

While I was reading Chapter 20 - Journey's End, I got really excited. I don't know why but I really like that chapter -  aside from revealing who cursed them and why, and finding the answer how to end it, I love the story of the Throne, Lucifer, the angels choosing sides - the Fall... Maybe I just really love angels.

I'll always choose you.
Every single lifetime, I'll choose you. 
Just as you have always chosen me. Forever.

Since Passion ended that way, I'm expecting a war among angels or something like that in Rapture. Maybe the Elders of Zhsmaelim and the Outcasts would be back in there in action.


I will wait for you as long as it takes. 
I will love you every moment across time.

I was re-reading my post about Torment- I''ll show you how angels dance - in my previous blog and when I got to the part were I listed some questions, I was smiling because finally, I have answers for some of them! Especially the big starshot question which had been bugging me ever since. LoL. 

Fly me away.

I'm having doubts if the end would be a happy one. No matter how true their love is, Daniel is still an angel and Luce is a mortal. Would it be happy OR/BUT heartbreaking? Would the ending be sweet AND/OR sad?

To the soul of the one true thing he loved the most, 
wherever she was. 
I now reaffirm my choice: I choose Lucinda over everything. 
And I will until the end.  

Anyway, I have to wait for ANOTHER YEAR for the big Angel War!!!

Her choice then  will be your redemption 
or the final seal on your punishment.

When angry, count four; When very angry, swear.
(Mark Twain)


The other day, I was awakened by a text message from my friend to open our group's page. Meron daw kasing umamin kung ano ba talagang nangyari dun sa bx season 1.


At para hindi mag-mukhang nobela, gawin natin in bullet form with legends: I: Incident o Pangyayari, R: my Reaction, C: Conclusion!!!

I: May nakakita nga daw dun sa gunting while they were doing their rounds. 
R: May nakakita? Eh halos baligtarin namin ang buong complex wala naman kaming nakita. Wag nilang igiit na hindi kami nag-hanap kasi lahat ng drawer at cabinet nabuksan ko pero wala talaga. At hindi lang ako ang naghanap!
C: May nag-tago.

I: The one who found it gave it to the one in charged of things. But instead of telling us that they've already found it, they hid it from us to teach us a lesson.
R: Wow, so sa pagbabayad namin, matututo kami ng leksyon. Kaya lang hindi pa rin ako natuto ayon nga dun sa nagsiwalat.
C: Feeling righteous.

I:  May isang nag-lalabas ng sama ng loob dahil pinag-bibintangan daw namin sya na sya ang nag-tago.
R: Malamang sya ang mapagbibintangan, eh sya yung nadulas at sya lang yung nag-sasalita. Parang sya lang yung nakakaalam kaya malamang sya  nga yung mapaghihinalaan na nag-tago. Isa pa sya yung pilit na nag-open nung topic na yun at laging nag-tatanong kung nakabayad na ba daw kami. Sabi nga nung isang nakikisawsaw, misunderstanding lang at hindi nila kami masisisi. Kami na ang mali.
C: Defensive. Este, biktima pala. Kami na ang judgmental.

I: May isang nakikisawsaw na hindi ko alam kung pasasalamatan ko o kaiinisan ko. May mga post sya na pinatatamaan nya ang salarin at ang mga feeling righteous. Pero sa sunod nya namang post kala mo kung sinong napakabait  at mabuting kaibigan.
R: Pinagtatanggol nya kami kaso lang kung maka-react sya kala mo nag-bayad sya. 
C: Plastik...

I: Siniwalat ang mga panyayari at dinefend ang mga sarili. And then she condemned kung sino man yung tunay na salarin.
R: Wala akong masabi.
C: Hugas-kamay.

I: Etong post ko na toh.
R: Bahala na pag may nakadiskubre nito.
C: Patay ako. Magkita-kita na lang kami sa korte, este sa meeting. Good luck sa akin.

Ang totoo, pinagulo lang lalo ang sitwasyon. Nakakaasar. Sana hindi na lang inamin. Lalo lang tuloy lumayo ang loob ko sa kanya. At kung sino man yung nag-tago ng season 1 at season 2, mag-tago ka na at wag ka nang magpapa-kita. Ang dami mong buhay na ginulo!!!

Nothing is so aggravating than calmness (Oscar Wilde)


Before anything else, follow-up muna about sa bone rongeur ko. Haha, nakita na ang ayaw mag-patulog na screw!!! May kuya daw na nakakita. Buti na lang nasabi ko yun kina kuya. Kundi, baka tinago lang nila yun or nilagay kung saan-saan. Haha, super saya talaga. Makakatulog na ulit ako. Basta next time, magtatanong na talaga ako. Haha... 


Anywayz, tomorrow would be Puerto Galera day! Ang usapan, dapat mamayang gabi nasa hospital na kami para maiwasan na ang late. Maaga kasi kaming aalis bukas. Kaya ang plano, tatambay na lang muna kami sa Blue Wave para mag pre-meds. Super excited na ako kasi marami kaming donated pocket money at free lodging! Kelangang sulitin ang 2 days na malayo sa amoy ng dugo at laman. 

Ang totoo, medyo disappointed ako pero hindi super. Kasi I was expecting na sasama yung isa naming friend na medyo malayo na. Although hindi rin ako masyado umasa na super makakasama ko sya kasi kasama rin namin yung kabarkada nya. Wala lang, I was just  missing the old days na magkakasama kami. Super masaya pa naman kasi kasama ko pareho yung 2 best friends ko pati yung isang senior na ka-close ko at kasama ko sa kalokohan at chismisan. 

Sana hindi bumagyo. Kasi sasakay kami ng bangka at para makapag-beach kami at banana boat!
