Hey Guys! Watdheckk it's Glen,
If your going to ask me, what month do I most anticipates, That month will be the month of SEMPTEMBER!. In our filipino culture Christmas season is not just only on the month of December but there's a whole 4 months of our Christmas season, that is why Philippines holds the title for "World's Longest Christmas Celebration", its start whenever "Ber months" starts which is September the start of "Ber" months, its from September up until January 6 "The Feast Empiphany". That one of my reason why I anticipate the arrival of September.
Besides from it starts the Christmas season, there are upcoming events , upcoming movies I must watch and also new music jams!
Today I'm about to discuss my top picks of everything I adore with the September month, so without further ado let's start.
September Faves [kinda late] :
37th Manila International Book Fair
If you read my blog about my experience in this event, You knew that this event is one of my most anticipated event of the year, well as a bookworm this event is huge and must-go event. It is an annual event that usually held on September, and this year's even was my first time, and definitely will not be the last! Its so fun, exciting and amazing experience, I will be attending next year and their future book related events.(Blogpost about MIBF: https://watdheckk.blogspot.com/2016/09/37thMIBF-Experince.html)
September's Book Haul
On the event I bought books that I am dying to have, and finally I have it! Now I am absolutely ready to read them. I believe that books are the cheapest (or maybe not) way to travel, it really does brings me to a whole new world, it is a journey in literature form. I bought Ransom Riggs' Miss Peregrine's home for peculiar children, the award-wining novel by Benjamin Alire Saenz "Aristotle and Dante discovers the secrets of the universe", a New York Times Best-Selling novel "Passenger" by the NYT best-selling author Alexandra Bracken, and also the New York Time best-selling manga Tokyo Ghoul volume 1 by Sui Ishida.
I finished reading Miss Peregrine's Home for peculiar children and I LOVE IT SO MUCH! This book is my fave Book of the Month, and I will be posting a separate book review for this, CAN'T WAIT!. I also read Tokyo Ghoul volume 1 and I also adore it, it gives me the feels that I am holding a pure work of contemporary art, and the drawings are great. It is my first manga, but its a good start to the world of Manga.

Miss Peregine's Home for peculiar children:
★★★★★ out of 5★
Tokyo Ghoul volume 1: ★★★★ out of 5★
Tim Burton's Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children
(Spoiler-free Movie Review)
Upon reading the book, I am so excited to watch it on the big screen, and it gave me more hype because the Tim Burton the Director the movie, so whenever I finished the book I head to my nearest theater and watch the movie. First of all I knew that films and books are different, they uses different way on taking us to the flow of the story, and I am expecting that If its not totally the same with the book, it will not be taking leaps beyond the plot of the book. I trust Tim Burton that it will do a great job on making the story and the characters comes to life because it is Tim Burton!
As I read the book I have some issues on the movie. For me the movie quite missing on something, the lack of portraying the character of Jacob played by Asa Butterfield the first 20 mins of the movie was sorta light, the part when Jacob and his grandfather are talking on the phone I don't feel the strong connection with them, in the book [sorry for comparing] Jacob and his grandfather has this strong connection to each other that I really don't see in the movie. I love the part when Jacob meet the children for the first time and the house was so great it was I pictured when I am reading the book, and when they met the other children, I was about to shout I was like "WOAH THEY ARE ALIVE AND I AM WATCHING THEM RIGHT NOW" okay that was quite over reacting but I can't help it. I have another issue with characters in the movie which will spoil you if I tell you so I better not to, I will be posting another blog about it.
Lastly, on my opinion Tim Burton kinda missed the plot of the book which leads me to disappointment but it is his adaptation of the book, so overall the movie was great, Tim Burton did a great job, I just hoped that it will be same with the flow in book, but as I said the movie was great.
Ratings: ★★★★ out of 5★
Perfect Illusion Lady Gaga
Lady Gaga announced last August 2016 that she will be releasing a new music entitled "Perfect Illusion" she announced it on her social media accounts, that gave hype to the whole world, because its been 3 years since the last time she released her solo music tracks.
This track is one of the reason why I am really excited for September, and when I first heard it, it gave me shivers to my spine, first I was disappointed on the outcome of it like it somehow different with her passed music tunes but as I played it again and again I started to appreciate it and it is great! The music, instrumentals, her voice, and even the music video everything was lit, because its LADY GAGA. It is my pick for the September's Track of the Month. Lady Gaga was acclaimed to be "New Queen of Pop" and I personally agree, This new music will give birth to a new era of music, I can assure you that! I just cant wait to hear her new album Joanne which will be out on October 21!

This Town Niall Horan
"This Town" is a debut song of Niall Horan, member of One Direction. I know how it feels, I am a fan of One Direction and the first time I saw the news I about, I freaked out. He didn't announced it, there is no news about it, he just drop it last September 29, 2016, so I was shocked when he released it.
I played it for the first time and his voice is really good, the lyrics and messages of the song is just pure and strong. It hits me. Well I am really proud of you Niall Horan, but please do come back as whole One Direction next year.
And that's all for today, Thank you for reading my blog. Hope you all have a great month of October! See you again on my next blog.
Cheerios.
