Tv Series Review : Jessica Jones

Jessica. I know your secrets. I know about your friends, about your gifts.

 Jessica. Jessica Jones. I know Everything. 

-Kilgrave

So I finishes this show in just 2 days and I'm really hooked. For those who doesn't know who Jessica Jones, let me try my best to explain it to you guys. This is Jessica Jones in my opinion : She's a retired superhero with super strength and ability to fly/jump real high. After trying out the whole superhero thing, she decided to become a P.I. instead and she's rather really good at it. So a year after an incident that happened that kinda messed her up more than she already is, a man from her past return. So throughout the series, we learned more about her past, and we also learn about her connection with the villain in this season. 

First of all let me say that this superhero show is different from other superhero shows I've watched before. I'm a big fan of Arrow, The Flash and of course now The Legends of Tomorrow, just fyi ;) 

Okay, so what makes it different to me is that it handles more with real-life situation as compared to other marvel superheroes. It talked about abuse and rape and it's really great the way they handle this situation. And Jessica Jones is a bad ass. You can see from the trailer how bad ass she is but I love that the more episode I watched, it slowly showed me how vulnerable she is too. 

Here's my Pros and Cons about this show !!

Things that I LOVE about it :

Hmm... I think first of all I just love the cast. I can't imagine these character being played by anyone else. Krysten Ritter is the perfect Jessica Jones. I know her from the movie "Vamps" where she star alongside Alicia Silverstone, and also from the tv show "Don't Trust the B**** in Apartment 23". She did a really good job portraying Jessica Jones, way more than I expected tbh. Next there is of course David Tennant !! Wasn't really aware of how awesome he is until I watched Doctor Who but WOW he killed it as Kilgrave. *SPOILERS ALERT* And I know there's been a lot of debate over the shipping between Kilgrave and Jessica. I find it hard for myself to hate him as a villain because when you find out about his past, you kinda feel bad about him and you sympathize with him. There's also the part where you can see how vulnerable he is because of his love for Jessica, I can feel his pain when Jessica rejected him. But in the end, I can't really oversee all the shits he's done, it's just too much and too violent for me. *END OF SPOILER* And let's not forget about Trish, Jessica's BFF, who is played by Rachael Taylor. I really love all of the cast but those 3 are my favourites. 

Next thing would be the plot. I haven't read the comics or any comics in fact, don't hate me but I just haven't. But the storyline is good, it's not too draggy and not too rush at the same time. Really looking forward to Season 2 because there's a few more thing that they left at a cliffhanger that I need to know about. Melissa Rosenberg did a really good job with this show.

And of course I like that I can binge watch it all instead of waiting for it every week and sometimes there's also breaks that will take months (like OUAT, for anyone fans out there who knows my pain). That's the good thing about it being picked up by Netflix I guess. And I'm really happy that I get to have access to Netflix now because if I didn't try it out, I wouldn't have started on Jessica Jones.

The Cons of this show :

I'm not really sure if I have anything I hate or don't like about it. I'm seriously brainstroming right now to find something I don't like and I can't seem to think of any or maybe cause I'm hungry and tired now that I can't think properly hahahaha . But I would love to hear your opinion about this show !! 

Anyway, I'm just gonna end the review here since I kinda sucked at writing them. Would really love to hear your feedbacks and check out my Instagram and Twitter for more of me rambling :D

Release Day : Two of Hearts

Carrie Maynard has come a long way from the awkward teenager who sat in front of the most popular boy in calculus class. She’s now a young, independent woman with a great job, a loving boyfriend, and a close knit family. But something still seems to missing.

Jason Wilder is no longer the cute teenage boy that Carrie crushed on from high school. He is now a 

hardworking, handsome man and one of Carrie’s very best friends. He is the perfect guy just looking for his perfect girl. Uncertain that he’s actually found her in his girlfriend, Ashley, he goes through the motions, hoping she will fill the void Carrie has left in his heart, ever since the day they met back in high school.

When circumstances change and feelings can no longer be ignored, will Carrie continue to sit on the 

sidelines, watching someone else live out the future with the boy she loved from so long ago, or will she take the next step with the man that’s always owned her heart?

Sometimes taking a risk for love isn’t always easy.

Sometimes even the strongest of friendships are put to the test.

And….

Sometimes it’s easier to walk away when life takes us down a different path than the one our heart 

intended.

EXCERPT & TEASER

“I have memories of you that I’ll use to embarrass you in front of your kids.”

“Hey, just remember I’ve got some dirt on you too, so watch what secrets you’re giving away.”

“Yeah, I know! Do you remember that night?” She let out a slight giggle. “When I threw myself at    you?”

"Yup, I do. How could I forget? My dad busting in my room the next morning."

We both began to laugh until tears were rolling down her face.

"Yeah, too bad I couldn't laugh about it like that back then. I was scared to death that my mom was
gonna kill me!"

"You never did tell me....how much trouble did you get in for that?"

"Not much at all. My mom was surprisingly pretty cool about it. My dad, well.... he eventually got over it."

"That was a classic."

"Do you ever regret not taking me up on the offer of being my first?"

"No." I lied. I regretted it every day. I wanted to be her first, I wanted to be her last, and I wanted to be everything in between. We were so young back then. It would have never lasted, and Carrie and I
wouldn't have the strong relationship that we do now if we had taken that step. We both needed time
to grow, to experience new things with different people before we made that type of commitment.

Now, here we were, older, wiser and both committed to someone else.

EXCERPT & TEASERS

I pay, trying to scurry undetected to the condiments, juggling my cardboard snack 

tray awkwardly as I pluck a few napkins from the metallic holder. One, two… five 

napkins. 

That should be enough, right?

For good measure, I pluck out two more from the holder because sometime my 

butter hands get out of control. I hate having buttery fingerprints.

Still clutching my ticket stub, I attempt to lift it to see which theater my movie is 

playing in, but fail miserably and have to set everyth—

“Daphne?” 

I freeze.

Look up. 

Pivot.

Standing behind me in his navy blue pea coat, Dexter Ryan smiles crookedly down at 

me. 

He smoothes his hands down the front of his dark pressed jeans—or is he wiping 

sweat off his palms?—and pushes his tortoiseshell eyeglasses up the bridge of his 

nose. 

I take it all in—every inch of him—from the preppy jacket, the glasses, the slight 

cleft in his chin, up to the black cable knit winter hat when he suddenly removes it. 

Instead of his hair being flatted by the hat, it’s unruly and a bit tousled. A rich brown, 

his locks are wavy, shaggy and desperately need a trim. 

He finger combs it out of his face. 

“It is Daphne, right?” He asks, unsure of himself. 

It’s hard to hold back my groan of dismay at being spotted, but I muster up a 

cheerful, “Yeah. Hi. Dexter?”

He smiles then, his eyes shining behind his dark, tortoiseshell lenses. I mean—I 

think his eyes are shining. Maybe it’s just the reflection of his glasses?

Those dark eyes dart down to my snacks, the ticket stub grasped between two 

fingers on my right hand. His brows go up. “Do you need help with anything? Sorry, 

I’m an idiot; it’s obvious you’re waiting for someone.”

A nervous giggle escapes my lips, only I can’t smack a hand over my mouth to stop it. 

“Gosh thank you. I don’t need help,” I hurriedly say. “I just have to see which theater 

I’m in, but I’m having a hard time with…”

All my food.

“It’s just you?” His head cranes around, confused. “I’m sorry, that was rude. Of 

course it’s not just you. Why would it be?” His deep voice gives a forced, nervous 

chuckle.

Wow, this is about to get awkward. “Nope, it is just me,” I barely manage to get the 

words out. “I’m here alone.”

Dexter’s eyes go wide, sending his brows straight into his hairline. His mouth even 

falls open a little but no sound comes out.

“Great,” I joke, more for my benefit than his. “I’ve rendered you speechless.”

I follow the line of his jacket, down to the hand tightly gripping his winter hat.

“No! Shit, sorry. I didn’t mean… I don’t know what I mean.” Deep breath. “I’m here 

alone, too.” 

Suddenly, his mouth twitches into a goofy grin, and my green eyes fly make a beeline 

to his lips as they form the words, “Which movie are you here to see?”

Those lips.

Huh?

Instead of formulating a response, I find myself trying not to stare at a perfectly 

sculpted upper lip and a full mouth surrounded by a days’ worth of five o’clock 

shadow. Strong jawline. Straight, white teeth. And is that line in his cheek a dimple? 

Dexter clears his throat, and I watch transfixed as the chords in his neck flex when 

he reprises, “Which movie are you here to see?”

Huh?

“Huh?”

Jesus, I have some serious issues. And if Dexter think I’ve gone space cadet on him, 

he doesn’t let on; his brown eyes are kind. Friendly. Sincere without a trace of 

egotism. “What movie?” 

Oh god. Could this be any more humiliating? The guys asked me the same question 

three times. 

“Uh… StarGate?” 

Don’t judge me! Don’t judge me, Dexter! I want to shout. I want to hide behind my 

massive bucket of popcorn. Yes, it’s true! I am at a nine o’clock screening of StarGate, 

the twenty-year-old movie turned nerd cult classic of all time. 

By myself. 

As in: alone.

On a Saturday night.

A pleased grin quirks, his thick brows shoot up for a second time in surprise before 

he clears his throat. “Me too.” 

Dexter briefly glances down at his ticket stub, pushing his glasses back up the bridge 

of his nose with a forefinger. God, it’s such a sweet gesture I actually cock my head 

and stare. 

Truth be told, I could probably stare at him all night.

It’s been all of three minutes and I find him charming, adorable, and unassumingly 

handsome. The kind of handsome that sneaks up on you.

He clears his throat again. “It’s, uh, in theater twelve. Let me just…” He reaches 

around me then to grab a few napkins for himself, though he’s only carrying a 

medium soda. 

No popcorn. No candy. No snacks.

Wait. No snacks? 

Who doesn’t get snacks at the movies? Who?

Self-conscious of my gluttony, I back away, wielding my embarrassing armload of 

junk food, face flaming hot. “I guess I should go find myself a seat. Yeah. I should go 

do that. The previews have probably already started and those are my favorite 

part…”

Stop talking Daphne!

Dexter nods and grapples for a few more napkins.

Oh brother; between the two of us, we have enough napkins to last us through Armageddon.

Book Review : A Work In Progress

Hmm.. Where do I start with this one ?? My mind is all jumbled up after reading the book so let's start on how I know about this book I guess.
To be honest with you, I don't really watch Connor's videos, I don't really stay up to date with his posts (but to be fair, I don't really follow and stay up to date with Celebrities or YouTubers. I only followed max 10 famous people on my instagram hahahaha) But I know who Connor is, how he looks like and I've watched a couple videos and I remember thinking what a great smile on that cute face :p

Anyways, I wasn't really interested in reading non-fiction before. Most of the books that I read is Romance, mostly Adult Romance because some of the teenage love story are sometimes too cliche or expected or repeated but yeah, I've never really been into memoir or auto-biography before, probably cause I'm lacking in the love section of my life so I get my feels from hot billionaire like Damien Stark ;) Okay, need to stop getting side tracked !! So yeah, my first biography book is 'Is Everybody Hanging Out Without Me' By Mindy Kaling (which btw, I did a review too if you want to check it out :D) and ever since then I've been more into biographies. And I know he published a book and saw it a couple of times on instagram so I decided why not since the cover is really pretty. I really enjoyed the book, therefore here I am writing a review close to midnight and I got work tomorrow morning but I can't not write it. Here's my review :

" Who Are You ? 
Answer : You are who you are in this given moment. Label-less, Limitless. "
- Page 135

The way Connor sees the world and everything around him amazes me. I've been trying lately to not let my insecurities get in my way. I know that no matter what I do, people will judge anyway and I've accepted that but Connor explains it in such a manner that I realize that I still have a long way to go to fully accept myself. He's only 23 years old but somehow he's manage to capture all the shits that some adults might not be able to and that deserves a good pat on the shoulder. His words inspired me and I hope that it inspires other too. And not only that he's cute he also gives good advice for many things in your life and I'll know I will never forget about it as it is quite memorable to me.

But the thing that I like most about this book is the photos inside. Those photos helps to tell the story better and there are beautiful photos inside that deserves to be look at. I recommend this book to any non-fiction lover out there. Don't let his age or his popularity stops you from reading it because I know there are some of you out there that's a little bit ehh about this book because you think he's still too young to know shit or because he's a youtuber and he's just trying to gain more money from his popularity. Toss those judgment out for a second and give this book a go !!

Cover Reveal : Progress

Jesse

I admit, I didn’t think much of Charlie at first. She was rounder than the girls who usually caught my eye. Not my type. But when I saw her sitting in that booth alone, for the first time something in my mind or my instincts or my heart told me to join her.

She defied me.

She challenged me.

She gave me hope.

Before I knew it, moving forward was my only option.

Charlie

I couldn’t tell you when it happened, but it had to have been a gradual change; I never moved too quickly.

If someone would have told me earlier that year what I was going to go through, I wouldn't have believed them.

Jesse was so different from anyone I’d met before. And everyone I’ve met since. He sucked all the life out of me, in the best—and worst—ways.

We don’t get strong overnight. For most of us it takes time. Strength isn’t measured by how high and fast our walls go up, but how easily we can watch them fall.

When Cole and Savannah cross paths, both their worldviews are called into question. Can Cole trade in his high profile, risk-seeking life of service, for a simpler life?
