Children of Blood and Bone by Tomi Adeyemi

-


Entertainment Weekly said Tomi Adeyemi's Children of Blood and Bone is the next Harry Potter.
Well, honestly, it doesn't hold a candle to Harry Potter. However, this book has masterful world-building, a beautiful love story that kinda reminds you of Rey and Kylo Ren's, and a very meaningful, relevant, and political message about racism and genocide.
Oh, and the plot twists and cliffhanger at the end are all totally unexpected.
I think this book would make an awesome adventure/fantasy movie.

Rating: 3.5/5

Coldplay in Manila

  I watched Coldplay perform here in the Philippines in 2017, and I had the crappiest tickets at the crappiest venue. I think I was standing a kilometer away from the stage. I barely saw anything. At the concert last night, Chris Martin read a poster a girl was holding, and it said, “In 2017, I was at the far back. Now I am this close.” Chris Martin then asked four people sitting on the very, very last row to move to the very front, then proceeded to sing Everglow. I don’t think I ever sobbed so hard during a concert. The first two photos are the ones I took when I attended their 2017 concert in Manila. The next two are from last night. All I know is, whether you’re at the far back or a bit closer to the stage, the magic is the same. Their concerts will always be an adventure of a lifetime.

1. Iloilo 2. Cebu 3. Legazpi (because of how beautiful Mt. Mayon was) 4. Davao 5. Sorsogon 6. Lucena 7. Butuan Ranking is purely based on personal experience. I know I missed out on a lot of things these cities could offer because, you know, I was there for work and only went sightseeing after work hours. Really grateful for a job that sends me to these beautiful places.
