Dan Brown - Timeless Thrillers Writer


Dan Brown (born June 22, 1964) is an American author of thriller fiction, best known for the 2003 bestselling novel, The Da Vinci Code. Brown's novels, which are treasure hunts set in a 24-hour time period,[1] feature the recurring themes of cryptography, keys, symbols, codes, and conspiracy theories. His books have been translated into over 40 languages, and as of 2009, sold over 80 million copies.

Brown's novels that feature the lead character Robert Langdon also include historical themes and Christianity as recurring motifs, and as a result, have generated controversy. Brown states on his website that his books are not anti-Christian, though he is on a 'constant spiritual journey' himself, and says of his book The Da Vinci Code that it is simply "an entertaining story that promotes spiritual discussion and debate" and suggests that the book may be used "as a positive catalyst for introspection and exploration of our faith

Rick Riordan, Godly Writer



Who is this Guy?

Rick Riordan is the award-winning, bestselling author of the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series and the creator of a new series The 39 Clues. For Rick Riordan (pronounced Ryer'-dan), a bedtime story shared with his oldest son was just the beginning of his journey into the world of children's books.


Already an award-winning author of mysteries for adults, Riordan, a former teacher, was asked by his son Haley to tell him some bedtime stories about the gods and heroes in Greek mythology. "I had taught Greek myths for many years at the middle school level, so I was glad to comply," says Riordan. "When I ran out of myths, (Haley) was disappointed and asked me if I could make up something new with the same characters."

At the time, Haley had just been diagnosed with ADHD and dyslexia. Greek mythology was one of the only subjects that interested the then second-grader in school. Motivated by Haley's request, Riordan quickly came up with the character of Percy Jackson and told Haley all about "(Percy's) quest to recover Zeus's lightning bolt in modern-day America," says Riordan. "It took about three nights to tell the whole story, and when I was done, Haley told me I should write it out as a book."

I got really crazy with Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson Series. I bought books, researched online, did reviews, saw the movies, relearned mythologies ..I swear i always curse Percy Jackson for always lacking sleep and being mentally absent at most times. I cant stop myself until i read the last book. I am really hoping that Rick Riordan would make some kind of sequel to continue it. I don't know how but i wish it is possible.


Please refer below my items about Rick Riordan's series.

Book 1 : The Lightning Thief

Book 2 : The Sea of Monsters

Book 3 : The Titan's Curse

Book 4 : The Battle of the Labyrinth

Book 5 : The Last Olympian

MRT Joyride

On a casual day, i prefer going to and from places on a bus because first of all if you are in Singapore, Hello?? - almost everywhere is nice to look at, there's peace and order, and all is clean and tidy. Unfortunately, if you work in a CBD like me, going by bus will take you places quite longer. There's also congested traffics in Singapore although not as much as what you can experience in Manila.

I take the joyride to MRT everyday, its no unusual thing, but today in my desperation to prevent the smelly guys, i went all the way to the front cluster. Lucky day to find all seats empty on a weekend. Yay!..

Once i saw an engineer before on that small portion between the front seat and the train hood, i think most likely its not permitted for public because its kinda looks scary. There are caution signs on all sides ( which i tell u is very common in Singapore). Curiosity had me, pretending Just as clueless as i could i glided myself till i get there. Whoa i almost did not fit lol!

I can see the tunnel from afront. and as the train started to move i cant see anything, i feel like riding a haunted mansion roller coaster. I see light once in a while as the train passes to stations. But the totallity of the ride was very scary, i can't imagine being lost in there.



Shot Take from the front facing tunnel..Its dark in there..

3 stations before my destination, i decided to go back sitting. I feel like throwing up already. I closed my eyes and tried to get my composure back bec im not feeling better. Im so giddy. I closed eyes and concentrated on leaving those stress to the tracks as the train swiftly move away. still nothing.. i feel even worst when i rose up. and i got no choice i have to get off or else the train will be going back the other far end side and i have to sit one more round trip on my way back..
