Rage by Jonathan Kellerman

Rage by Jonathan KellermanI just finished reading RAGE by  Jonathan Kellerman. This is just one of his many books that I have read.

Brilliantly written book, as always and Alex Delaware and Milo Sturgis did not fail to deliver. They are a great team that child molesters, murderers, sociopaths and criminals would not want to meet, even between pages of a book.

This book Rage had several twists and turns that I had to re-read several pages I have read through sleepy stupor. The plot thickens, so to speak, as more secret lives are revealed one after another while Alex deals with his personal relationship with Allison, another psychologist.  I am guessing they will end up breaking up or maybe they did already and I still have to get a book about it.

Learning disabilities as well as behavior problems were among the characteristics of the young people in this book apart from abandonment, lack of inadequate parenting and bad environment are just some of the contributing factors.

They probably do not even  think about hormonal acne here, like “regular” or typically developing teenagers because of their life situation.

There is this one thing though, I don’t think I understood the ending, it seems to have a “hanging” ending. I may have to re-read that part again later.

I stopped reading Jonathan Kellerman‘s book for a while because weird though it may seem, I feel behavioral changes in ME whenever I read his books. I tend to get less patient. Could it be that his well-written plots with psychological babble and sinister acts affect me so much that the gory details get to me?

I hope not. I feel I have to get those few books he wrote that I still have to read and I hope never to read about the Filipina maid or Filipina nurse again.

Be More Health-Conscious

Sad news I heard today, a friend’s mother-in-law has just been diagnosed with a stage 3 colon cancer.

A few weeks ago, a friend wrote an informative article about colorectal cancer. I have read it of course but has not taken the important details to heart. But now, I am reading it again and paying attention .

For someone who has been through an open choly years ago, I feel I have a lot of improvement to do regarding my lifestyle especially my diet.

A colon cleanse is also being considered among other things.

There may or may not be a connection with the procedure I went through and this condition but then again, now is always the right time to try to live a more healthy lifestyle, isn’t it?

Have you started a lifestyle change?

Importance of Profile Pictures

Do you give importance to your online profile pictures?

Putting an online profile picture in your favorite social networking site is a must for your friends to “see” you.

Some put photos of themselves which during their teen years and so their friends during that time are able to recognize them pronto.

Some put their best current picture (of course, NOT the one with adult acne, lol).

Some put their blogs or website’s logo which is a good way to promote site traffic.

Online profile pictures are important because these represent who you are.

There are those who wish to remain a “shadow” or mysterious and don’t upload their photos. Their choice of course.

Watch and listen here to know about the importance of your profile pic.

Brand Conscious

I am sure a lot of brand-conscious and brand-name dropping people will say “woot” at the mention of Vera Wang dresses.

No offense meant if you are one, if you can afford these dresses, why not? Woot for you 🙂

What irks me most is when when people name-drop brand-names of things that they use like their cheese or maybe what? soy sauce? (like it is gonna make their food more flavorful than those cooked using cheaper and local brands) even if NO ONE is asking. Duh?!

I’m sure you’ve met one or two with this trait. Why some will even go to great lengths to say HOW MUCH they bought such and such.

I found this fun quiz which you can take to see if you are brand conscious or not.

Are you game to take the quiz?

Chocolate Kiss Cafe Triple Treat

If  in case you are undecided to choose what cake you want for dessert, the Chocolate Kiss Cafe Triple Treat cake sampler is the best choice. I wish other restaurants will offer similar samplers.

Just the perfect end to a wonderful summer al fresco meal beside a pond filled with pond lights.

This place came to mind , of course 🙂
