Yep, today is the last day of November 30. Many things have happened in this month, whether it's good or bad. I learnt some very important lessons about improving myself, and I managed to obtain some really really rare and valuable books (through hard work, of course). I also got sick a lot this month, but that's okay. Life always goes up and down. But I still haven't gotten the confirmation from the publisher. Damn. I just contacted the publisher's twitter a moment ago, and I hope they answer it soon (the sooner the better). Meanwhile, I've continued Bloody Romance...a lot. It's now reached Chapter 25, and the story is still evolving. Talk about long, huh? This is the longest novel I've ever written, and the longest manga I've made is (I forget the title *damn*)that I made in elementary school (it has around 13 volumes). Ah...talk about memories. I miss my moments with my BFF, Ivy, and we met today! It was really fun :D Although now we're separated, when we talk we still connect to each other. That's the real best friend forever. I love her so much :3
So, yeah, December is coming, and I hope you can enjoy the last month in 2012!
Just remember that when the world gets dark, there will always be light, guiding you to the right path.

Confirmation Please!!!
It's been two weeks since I sent Bloody Romance to the publisher by email, and by now I still haven't gotten the confirmation! This makes me uneasy and nervous. I've continued writing Bloody Romance, but it still hasn't finished yet. The story is still so long. So, I've decided to make a prequel of Class of Clans series, where Angelica Serah, together with Edward Kelly and Michael Taylor become the main protagonists (remember them?). And about Child of Gray, the first series in Dauntless Record Saga, I still have to edit the plot.
Oh yeah, today is November 16, right? That means Breaking Dawn 2 is in cinemas! Yay! I planned to watch it, but my clique didn't want to. And the tickets are already sold. So here I am, at home, browsing the internet in my 2nd big brother's room (who went to Jakarta at the start of November) with my 1st big brother's unused MacBook Pro. Why unused? Because he said he didn't use it anymore, so this thing is now mine. Heheheh.
So, I think it's all for now. See you around, guys!
Btw, typing with this laptop is sooo comfortable! XP

Ther Melian: Chronicle by Shienny MS
Here is a book review again! This time it's a novel by an Indonesian author, Shienny MS! She is the author of Ther Melian Tetralogy, and now I'm gonna tell you about Ther Melian: Chronicle, which is the second book in the tetralogy.
Title: Ther Melian: Chronicle
Author: Shienny M.S.
Year: 2011
Publisher: PT Elex Media Komputindo
Language: Indonesian
Rating: 8 out of 10
The story continues from the first book, Revelation. This time, Valadin and Vrey's relationship becomes wrecked, because they walk on different paths of life. Valadin and his party want to find the seven relics, while Vrey's goal is making the Nymph's Cape. Meanwhile, Vrey realised something about her bestfriend, Aelwen, and she finds it hard to forget her sin.
I read this book last year, and forgot to write a review about it. Heheheh I recommend this book, too. This is perhaps the first fantasy series created by an Indonesian author. So guys, please buy the book, read it, and love it!
By the way, I really love this book's cover. Valadin looks so cool! ^^

Divergent by Veronica Roth
Now I'm gonna tell you my review about a novel called Divergent. It's one of the best sellers novel according to New York Times, and I just saw its Indonesian version in my local bookstore yesterday. I read the English and International version, and I've got lots of things to talk about it, in here. But first, here's the book's data:
Title: Divergent
Author: Veronica Roth
Published: 2012
Pages: 487 (excluded bonus pages and sneak peek of Insurgent, book 2 of Divergent Trilogy)
Publisher: Katherine Tegen Books
Price: US$ 9.99
Rating: 9 out of 10
In the future world, society is divided into 5 groups called faction. Those factions are: Abnegation--people who put others first than themself, Amity--people who love peace and friendship, Condor--they who put honesty more than anything, Dauntless--the brave ones, and Erudite--intelligent ones. When children turn 16, they must choose which faction they want to belong in. That decision decides the rest of their lives. If they quit the faction they choose, they will be factionless, and exiled from the society.
There was Tris, and 16 year-old girl who is not ordinary. She is put into a simulation test which decides which faction suites her the best, but the result was strange. She was into 3 factions rather than 2. And then, she chooses Dauntless. She goes away from her old faction, Abnegation, and starts a new life there.
I think that's the sneak peek of the story because I don't want to spoil it too much hehe. I think this book is awesome, and can keep us stay awake all night. Once I started reading it, seriously I couldn't close it! This book is as awesome as Hunger Games, but written in its own magnificent way. YOU MUST READ THIS BOOK, FOLKS! Trust me, you won't regret it!
