I was one of the
lucky ones who was chosen to get an advance copy of this book for
an honest review and yes the first ever book review I'll have on this blog. The
truth is that I am not really a fan of Sci-fi although I enjoy watching
movies like the Divergent and AI, but the sci-fi genre's are preferably the
last category I would choose from a book but for a change I decided to give it
a try. So before I head over to my review here is a short synopsis of
what this book is all about:

My Honest Review:
"My name is Theo, and I'm a resident of Oasis, the last habitable area on Earth. It's meant to be a paradise, a place where we are all content. Vulgarity, violence, insanity, and other ills are but a distant memory, and even death no longer plagues us.
I was once content too, but now I'm different. Now I hear a voice in my head, and she tells me things no imaginary friend should know. Her name is Phoe, and she is my delusion.
Or is she?"

My Honest Review:
Oasis if the first book of the Last Human Trilogy.I'd
say the author did a great job with this book! It's very intriguing and I
was happy that it's not one of those boring sci-fi books. The plot has many twists
and turns that will keep you guessing chapter after chapter. A good book
is something that you can't foretell what the ending is.
Overall this is a great book and I am looking forward to read the next series!
"Theo: Are you going to make me forget all this happened?
Phoe: Of course not, Your mind is the most sacred thing in this place"

Welcome
to our new blog layout honestly though I
worked on this for close to 1 and half hours. It's kinda tough to work
on stuffs you're not an expert on. But you can always get free templates at www.themexpose.com me on the other hand still worked on the css and html codes to come up with a drop down menu
hahhaa. But I'm really loving the minimalist look of the new lay out and a big yay for the slider!
The main reason for the changes is because I wanted to reset everything... I mean everything in my life. I'm learning all the process after my hard land on the timeless labyrinth of madness. A fresh start would be good, I'm happy to finally back on track again. Just this morning as I was having my favorite cup of tea I came across a quote that says "Be Your Own Hero" Indeed sometimes we have to be our own hero.
I grow up believing in Fairytale's Prince Charming and Knight in shining
armor. But the reality bug would remind me that my life are empty pages
waiting for meaningful narratives to write on it's pages. Certainly, If you get to write and plot your own life story, what would
you write about?
Those who loves to travel understand that when you travel you just don't explore the place, take beautiful pictures, meet other people and collect memories. But along with it are imperative lessons that you can only obtain through travelling. I'd say that travelling is the best education possible, a flight to the magical world that is still obscure to you.
I am a neophyte to the world of travelling, I had my first international travel last March of 2015 and followed by my second trip last September. From the verdant, panoramic provinces of Thailand to the electrifying world of Japan left me to think where my next destination will be.
Today's post is all about the things Japan taught me. Ahhh Japan my first love. Certainly, my undying love for this country is not to doubt for. If by chance I'm willing to pack my clothes again and fly back there. I'd say that life there is not all milk and honey It has its ups and downs too. But who cares? If you're in love with something you will take the risks. I don’t know, but Japan gave me a different kind of adrenaline rush, everything about it amaze me.
I wish that my dire need to exhort more
effort in chasing dreams after dreams is not taking it's toll on me, but truth
be told that my life is already out of symmetry. My struggle with busyness is
wiring me up to the point that I have already pleaded with life itself. My once
busy life becomes more full because of the thought that I have to move fast. I
may succeed with every project that I do, but I don't feel accomplished at all because I'm losing
the clarity of the real purpose, I'm leaving out the journey.
Countless sleepless nights I toss and
turn on my bed and in the morning I get myself drunk with bottles over bottles
of energy drink. I would continue to deny myself with the truth that I am straining myself to fatality
because in my mind I never regard myself as a workaholic.
I'm like an automatic machine programmed to take in work after work after work.
Until one day I just snapped, that day my head is so heavy, my lung is so heavy
I can't breath properly (Yes! Too much stress can cause sleep apnea, which led
to difficulty in breathing) and I'm just sitting there like the Grinch who
hated the world. I lose interest in everything, I lose interest in my passion.
This new anguish led me to self pity and push me to further afflict myself by submerging to more work. And yes, after my daily
work I would usually bake and sometimes ended baking until midnight with the
thought that its my stress reliever but reality is I just can't sleep. I
love to bake but I've used it as a gateway to self infliction instead of it
as a fundamental foundation of one of my future goals.
How it all ended? How did I've come to realize
that enough is enough? It was
that day when a person close to me told me that I
needed help and I was like "I'm not crazy... I don't need help" but these voices in my head is agreeing that I am losing my sanity. The
thought of seeking professional help dreaded me and I was like - No.. I can begin to heal myself.. I can win the battle I've created myself.
That night I cried my heart out. I know and God knows of the beast I am
fighting in my head. I realized I miss a lot of things... I miss going on
weekend trips, I miss going to the bookstore, I miss reading my favorite book,
I miss my love note writing to God, I miss enjoying concocting new recipes, I
miss my blogging, I miss Life itself.
Realization finally dawned me that it's time for me to finally pull myself out of this abysmal isolation. Its time for me to gain perspective again. Honestly, I was really hesitant to write about this but I know that there are people like me out there.... struggling.... in denial....lost...wondering...And hoping to be free.
