The Mall

There is a saying that goes like, "A stranger is a friend you just haven't met". Well the mall is not filled with that. I never met a new friend there. Maybe its because of my attitude. I usually avoid crowded places like this, hate the whole browsing while people shuffle around you. That is why I thought going on a business day before school hour would give me some room space to get some shirts and jeans. But I was wrong.
First the parking lot. God almighty finding a space is like looking for a prey. I zoom in on any person who seem to heading for their car and then proceed to stalk them. I managed today to get lucky and follow someone who is heading out, but usually I'm not so lucky. I once followed an old lady down all the way to only discover she was heading for the bus stop :P. Hated my life.
After parking, I carefully remember where I parked because I'm dizzy that way. If you ever see someone walking around beeping their car, that'll be me.
Getting in the mall is my favorite moment. The cool breeze you feel brush over your body from the air conditioner. However, that moment is brief like all good things. You end up feeling chilly and heading for the bathroom.
So I walked and walked. Looking occasionally on the mall map when I find myself lost. I just wish they gave you one you can carry. I like to place one beneath my feet to get a better idea where I am :). Headed to H&M to buy some clothes than to Old Navy to get some khakis pants.
Oh checked out some flashy people passing by. Yes, I am lonely like that. So if you see someone sitting alone on a bench, come on by and say hello. There is statically more chances you'll end up with a nice person than a pervy loser. I don't know which category I fit in, but before this post become a dating info about my love for a long walk around the beach, my great listening skills, etc...I'll stop here. This post is already making me depress.
P.S Got all my stuff. Got a cool looking bag from Old Navy for free. And still ended up making zero friends.

Urban Fantasy Novel

Lately the most popular types of books for young adult is urban fantasy novel. Mostly about a regular protagonist who end up discovering a world that is filled with magic and monsters. Some of titles like the Percy Jackson & Olympic series by Rick Riordan:

A tale about a boy name Percy Jackson with ADHD (Attention deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) and dyslexia who realize those symptoms are manifestation to him being related to a Greek gods. Interesting way to give a positive outlook to a disorder. The story is breeze to read and the characters are interesting to follow. There are moments when the dream sequences give too much away and you end up knowing who the antagonist really is. However, for all you unfamiliar with Greek gods, Rick Riordan leaves lasting impressions of their characters for readers to sympathize and love. And also check out "The Heroes of Olympus" which is sort of a continuation of Percy Jackson's series but mainly deal with a
new kid and his Roman background.

Although there are much more interesting fantasy books, I would just like to cover this last one which I actually discover by accident. Widdershins by Charles de Lint:

This is the second book in a series, the first being "The Onion Girl." However, after reading it, I found myself able to follow the story well enough to understand the war between the fairies and Native American deities. In the story the fairies are actually immigrants who came oversea to America and want to settle down in the wooden area away from the cities, but the magical creatures who already has stake in the lands do not want them. So there is tension between them. The story follows assortments of characters, but mainly the protagonist is a girl name Jilly Coppercorn. She is far cry from your typical hero, being paralyzed and having an abusive childhood. Throughout the book the reader realize that Jilly's ability to overcome her dark past is the key to saving the magical world.
