The Sea of Monsters Trailer!

Hey guys!


My parents went to see Man of Steel last Friday. Of course, before the movie starts the cinema shows different trailers of 'Coming Soon' movies. And guess what. They saw the Sea of Monsters trailer! (Too bad I wasn't with them x( ) They weren't showing it yet when we watched Now You See Me last month so I was surprised to hear this. 

So... only 33 more days til the Sea of Monsters movie comes out in cinemas!!! :D
The trailer was out since April but I wanted to show you guys again so here it is :)


Oh yeah, my PJO reading progress is... well, let's just say that there are a LOT of things keeping me busy these days and its very rare to find reading time. 

So that's all for now!

May the gods not smite thee,
Jude

'The Lightning Thief' Start-Up

Hello!
For my very first 'Books' post, I would like to start with something I love. Yep, you guessed it. One of my favorite book series of all time is the Percy Jackson and The Olympians Series. I started getting hooked to it since August 2011 and I have been following the series ever since.


My very own PJO series

Percy Jackson (commonly abbreviated to 'PJO') is basically about Greek gods and goddesses. The only twist is that they exist in the Modern World. There are times that they 'hook-up' with humans and have a baby. Their baby is called a demigod. Demigods can have extraordinary powers depending on who their god/goddess parent is. In this case, the main character is Percy Jackson, son of Poseidon. The book focuses on Percy and his friends; Grover, a satyr (half human, half goat) and Annabeth, daughter of Athena.


The Lightning Thief

You may be wondering, 'Why would you read that book again if you have already read it?'. I wanted to read it because first of all, I wanted to blog about it, and second is so that I can read the next book, The Sea of Monsters, in time for its movie on August 7! Woohoo!! :))

I have read PJO just by borrowing my classmates' books but since the end of March, I have earned the money to buy the whole set at Fully Booked Boni High. So now I can read PJO without having to borrow xD Thanks, by the way, to Khristine Banquil and Japheth Avelino for introducing me to books and to this amazing series XD :bd


The Percy Jackson boxed set
I treasure every book in my collection. REALLY. I mean, if you just crumple or fold one page of my books, you won't ever see the rising sun again. Haha xD  I mean it. Haha just kidding. I just like to take care of my books and I try my best to maintain them in their mint condition.

Okay, so I'll start The Lightning Thief now. I'll probably post again on my blog when I'm already halfway through or if something really cool happens to the story.

So,

The Lightning Thief
Time Started: 8:16 PM June 24, 2013

A New Leaf

Hello and welcome to my blog!

I am Arjude Gerona, but I prefer to be called Jude. Why 'Seen Through The Glasses' ? I guess you already figured it out. I'm just an average high school student with a passion for writing articles.


Well, this isn't an official post since I'm not writing about anything in particular but I just want to welcome everyone for visiting this blog.


Now let me tell you what it's all about and what you would probably see on this blog:



  • Books - Well, that's what I guess you'll mostly see here. I've been a bookworm for a long time now and i think it's time that I share that personality with the world. From book releases to book reviews, I am sure to post some on my blog.
Some of my books
  • Food - That's the second thing you'll mostly see here. I am a devoted foodie (you could tell by looking at my body) and I've wanted to blog about food my whole life. Restaurants, fast food, recipes, and even local street food carts will surely be a topic on my blog. 
  • Movies - I'm not that much of a movie freak, but I enjoy them as much as the next guy, so I guess I'll be blogging about it as well. I would mostly blog about movie adaptations of books.
  • Travel - Home may be my most favorite place (apart from bookstores) but I sure do love to travel. Although I rarely travel, I enjoy every place I have ever visited. 


  • Updates - Nowadays, there are many things to update about. I'll try my best to update on everything that's going on. 
  • Cool Stuff - There are some times when I just discover something cool, and I always want to tell other people about my discoveries. xD Sharing much.
  • Just Me -  Here you can see the real me; my life, school, and everything  else about me.


So that's it for now. Maybe I could add other topics later. I hope you like my blog! I'll be posting my first official Post real soon!

~Jude
