Windfall by Jennifer E. Smith

Saturday, May 8, 2021


Windfall by Jennifer E. Smith is a young adult novel about Al with her two other friends Leo and Teddy. It is a story about luck and how it brought change into their lives. 

It is a book about first love and first major luck, which brings us to Al and Leo's funny gift for Teddy's birthday. Leo gave him a pack of cigarettes, and Al gifted him with a lottery ticket. The most unexpected thing happened when the lottery ticket gift won a whopping one hundred forty-three million dollars. 

Teddy hit the jackpot and had his life turned a hundred eighty degrees, all thanks to Al's gift on his eighteenth birthday. But it is not always a bed of roses when you've got yourself a lot of moneybags, the fortune he received also has its backlash which he finally realized later in the story. 

Al, on the other hand, tried to keep it all together expecting that the huge fortune they won had the potential to turn her normal life upside down and it was something uncalled for. She didn't want any of it. What she wanted was a normal life with her family and friends. Everything seemed to slip away within her grip and she didn't like the changes that were happening before her eyes, Teddy was getting further and further away to someplace she didn't want to be in.   

Alice Chapman a.k.a Al was a girl who brought luck to the person she loved when she thought nothing better could ever happen to her life as she was blinded and paralyzed by the sad past she held dearly in her heart. She never thought that luck could find her or any of her closest family and friends. 

Windfall by Jennifer E. Smith reminds us that maybe, just maybe, luck will find us one day, and probably win a huge fortune like Teddy or in Al's case, find where she truly belongs.     


P. S. In a world where luck is nowhere to be found, let God find you.

Attack On Titan Sinks the Ship

Monday, May 3, 2021

Last month, I watched the final season of Attack On Titan or Shingenki No Kyojin in its anime version. It's good, but sad. 

I am more inclined to its manga version. I get the feeling that I might miss some details if I plunged into the anime series right away. But I stopped reading manga for almost or over a year and deleted the manga reader app on my phone, so I lose track of what chapters I last read from all the bookmarked manga titles I had before the hiatus.

I read more than I should. I had to stop. ~Circa 2019 to 2020

Praise God for stepping on the break!

Now here in 2021, the end and the final season of Attack On Titan was always the one I got to see on my feeds. At first, I declined the offer of the media to indulge myself to another heartbreaking, action-packed, tragic, and breathtaking story from Hajime Isayama.

I find the graphics of the last season more attractive. Mappa studio made the series this time around.

The manga already ended and it broke me to tears, seriously. Good thing, I recover faster nowadays. Praise God! But the anime version isn't over yet. The fandom still awaits for its final installment. Some changes might happen in the anime version, maybe a lighter ending for Eren and Mikasa, 'cause I really ship them. And I also don't want to get my hopes up so I do prepare my heart if anything worse happens in the story. I want to see Levi Ackerman again, and maybe ask him to marry me, just kidding. 

A lot of ships did not sail in Attack On Titan, and for some reasons I could not hate the author like I usually do, sorry. I know he has his reason why the story ended up that way. I kind of accepted it and at the same time still remained hopeful.
