★ Ken Could Tell ★

profile

Ken Chua would no longer go underground unless the notorious Martial Law II is declared. He is partly convinced that all his pent-up thoughts are spilled in this account.
Read about how he tackles the miss(ed)adventures of a city kid, the life of a schoolboy, and how he (hopefully) overcomes the shadow of mediocrity. There's more - haircuts and bags, food, books, music and movies and ~~sex~~! Filled with stories of raves and misery, the author doesn't guarantee his articles are a great entertainment read. After all, he isn't just any two-dimensional fictional character. :-)

Twenties Girl, Sophie Kinsella
Friday, August 28, 2009 8:04 PM / top

So I'm into ghost books lately. Not that mga Kwentong Halimaw which are popular among kids, I'm way past over those.

Kinsella's Twenties Girl stars ghost and girls in light and entertaining read. Remember the saying that a death wish should be obeyed? This time around, it’s a ghost’s wish from Sadie, Lara’s great-aunt demanding her great-niece to search for a missing necklace (glass beaded dragonfly pendant, inlaid with mother-of-pearl, studded with rhinestones, vintage find).

Between love and work, Lara is pressured by the ghost of Sadie who has strong views on sex, fashion and the art of proper dancing, and thus embarks on a journey to discover her great-aunt's necklace, the secrets of Sadie's heart and the skeletons of her family's closet.

A sweet toast to Kinsella and to those old folks out there ( "All that white hair and wrinkled skin is just cladding. .They were all young, with love affairs and friends and parties and an endless life ahead of them" ) who loves the Charleston, cocktails, shaking their booties till dawn, driving too fast, smoking gaspers and barney-mugging (a.k.a. twenties version of sex)!
