I just finished reading “Tarnished Beauty” by Cecilia Samartin. It was the ONLY book for fun that I borrowed at the library (more on that later).
I’m not going to write a long review… because my reviews suck. But I am going to say that this book was so beautifully awesome. You have GOT to read it. Everyone.
Heres a review I pulled off Amazon…
From Publishers Weekly
Two travelers from different corners of the world discover that they have more in common than meets the eye in Samartin’s smart second novel (after Broken Paradise). Shunned by her small Mexican village for a birthmark (it covers her back and legs) considered to be the work of the devil, Jamilet Juárez sneaks across the border to live with her aunt in Los Angeles, where she plans on saving up enough money to pay for the birthmark’s removal. Once in L.A., Jamilet scores illegal papers and takes a job in a mental hospital supervising the cunning and cantankerous Señor Peregrino, who, in short order, snatches Jamilet’s forged papers and ransoms them. The price: she has to listen to his stories. As the old man reminisces about his adventurous pilgrimage to the landmark Santiago de Compostela in Spain, Jamilet tries to forge a life independent of the mark that once defined her. Samartin is at her best when it comes to matters of the heart, portraying the anguish of lost love and the thrill of a young woman’s first crush with the same dexterity. A few story elements are left dangling, and the ending is abrupt for such an ambitiously assembled tale, but Samartin’s rich storytelling overpowers the faults. (Mar.)

It defines beauty. Defines the meaning of life. Defines love, and the struggles it brings. Its just… awesome.
But like it said.. the ending is far too sudden.

I am currently eating french toast… that apparently wasn’t toasted properly.
Damn you stupid toaster oven!

My little cousin called me this morning and made me log into Club Penguin with her.
Except we didn’t get to play, because she had to go at the last minute.
*sigh*
I love her. =) She was very, very sick…. Dec 2007 … with Pneumonia. She wound up on life support.
No one thought she’d make it. We were at Hajj at the time when she got sick, and everyone there prayed endlessly for her recovery here.
And now she’s fully recovered alhamdulilah, and in school. The smartest kid in her class.
Ah the power of prayer.

Yesterday was muy tiring. I had to go to the library to get books for english class.
Here’s an idea of what I walked out with >.>:




annnnd

I must make a list of books that I intend to either request or hopefully BORROW at my next trip there.
~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~
I intend to get my drivers permit next week.
I have to study.. a ridiculous book of laws and stuff.
For an idea of how stupid the test is… here are some of the questions that were on my drivers ed final:
3) A way to prevent injuries in a collision is to:
-wear your seat belt
-grab onto someone else in the car
-take steady breaths
-duck down
–
*rolls eyeballs*
DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCKKKKKKKK
—
15) If your hood suddenly flies up you should turn on your hazard lights and continue driving.
- True
- False
—-
pffffft… if YOU can SEE… go ahead looser.
—
19) Together, what do the divisions of the HSMV do?
-Make sure lines are long
-Use more money than other government organizations
-Keep Florida highways safe
-None of the above
—-
I’m sure the answer to this… is make sure lines are LOOOONGGG as hell so when you go in the place you wind up falling asleep waiting for them.
*shakes head*
This just proves my point that us Americans are apparently born with serious brain cell shortages.

That will be all.
