Some people say age does not determine someone's maturity as there is a possibility to see a young person with middle-up-to-high level maturity. Perhaps, it is true. But for me, the older we get, the farther we think towards everything.

As a Bibliophile, I have kind of books do I like to read. And it has been changing as time goes by. When I was kid, mum and dad always bought me picture story books or comics. And then, I started to read teenlit novel or teen magazine in Junior and Senior High School.  It naturally turned into some inspirational books or books that have a tendency to build or blow my mind up or need maturity to comprehend the story, since I entered my college-life. I also require something to inspire me by the reason of I am a blogger who really loves writing as well. And surely read good books by good writers will enhance my writing skill. 

Now, I'm starting to hunt import books to read. So these are the (temporary) list of most wanted books through the length of 2014, let's check it out!

 3. The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath

The Bell Jar chronicles the crack-up of Esther Greenwood: brilliant, beautiful, enormously talented, and successful, but slowly going under -- maybe for the last time. Sylvia Plath masterfully draws the reader into Esther's breakdown with such intensity that Esther's insanity becomes completely real and even rational, as probable and accessible an experience as going to the movies. Such deep penetration into the dark and harrowing corners of the psyche is an extraordinary accomplishment and has made The Bell Jar a haunting American classic.

It's January 1995, and Franny Banks has just six months left of the three-year deadline she set for herself when she came to New York, dreaming of Broadway and doing "important" work. But all she has to show for her efforts so far is a part in an ad for ugly Christmas sweaters, and a gig waiting tables at a comedy club. Her roommates―her best friend Jane, and Dan, an aspiring sci-fi writer―are supportive, yet Franny knows a two-person fan club doesn't exactly count as success. Everyone tells her she needs a backup plan, and though she can almost picture moving back home and settling down with her perfectly nice ex-boyfriend, she's not ready to give up on her goal of having a career like her idols Diane Keaton and Meryl Streep. Not just yet. But while she dreams of filling their shoes, in the meantime, she'd happily settle for a speaking part in almost anything--and finding a hair product combination that works.
Everything is riding on the upcoming showcase for her acting class, where she'll finally have a chance to perform for people who could actually hire her. And she can't let herself be distracted by James Franklin, a notorious flirt and the most successful actor in her class, even though he's suddenly started paying attention. Meanwhile, her bank account is rapidly dwindling, her father wants her to come home, and her agent doesn't return her calls. But for some reason, she keeps believing that she just might get what she came for.

Yesterday I did my activities as usual. 
Everything went in a common and nothing was wrong. 
Until the night when I had already slept ....

I was awake due to stomach-ache, so I decided to go outside my bedroom and take some pills to ease the pain.
It was about 2:30 AM.
I went back to my room, but it was hard for me to sleep again after woke up. 
Therefore, I just lied down on bed whilst stared at the rooftop.
It was really quite.
I could only hear the raindrops out of doors.
And I didn't know how long I daydreamed in the silence, I guessed I fell asleep afterwards.

--------------------------

(Again!) 
I could neither get "Was I awake for the second time?" nor "Was it just dream?"
Because what happened on the next was I found myself came back into the same scene where I suddenly woke up a few hours ago.
But the scene was like spun with fast-forward, up to the time when I was in front of my bedroom.

I saw myself stood up before the door for a few minutes. I felt confused either I should go back to the room or stayed out of the bedroom.
And I could sense a whisper came from the right side, near of the bathroom.
I slowly turned my head ....
I saw there was white smoke shaped a shadow.
Foolishly, one thing that I carried out was smiling before I realized it was truly horrible! I felt goosebumps!
"Oh, how dumb you are," I cursed myself!
Then I twisted the door handle, entered my room, and .... OH WHAT THE FUCK DID HAPPEN LATER ON !!?
I got my feet glued with the tile. I wasn't able to move at all.
Before I could think clearly about those fuckin' things, I was suddenly dragged by something that I could not even see!
I was so scared! OH MY GOD!
I tried to call my mom who was in the next room but my voice was gone! SOMEBODY HELP ME!!!!
That dragging became stronger. I stretched my hands, tried to reach anything that I could make a grip.
But it was useless!
I began to get weakened when I suddenly remembered my brother was also in my room. He was staying overnight at my home.
I called him out. And with all the remaining strength, I attempted to walk against the dragging flow.
I fell over and over again, but I kept running till I reached out my brother's bed. I pulled his blanket, wished he would get up and heard me shouting.
I was almost highly desperate as he didn't move at all.
However, he heard me later on! He immediately pulled my arms.
I knew he was really trying to help me. 
And then I could finally slip from those terrible things.

*back to sleep*

--------------------------
(And again! OMG IT SUCKS!) 
I woke up in a mess, "Am I dreaming...?" I pinched my cheek. 
"Oh! It's real," I talked to myself.
I set my ears and heard the rains already stopped.
But it turned into the noisy voices.
Those were such as some people talking and howling dogs.
I immediately pulled my blanket up to the head.
And ... "SHIT! WHAT THE HELL IS IT?!"
Behind the blanket, I saw something —well I didn't know what it was— trying to tell that I didn't dream at all a few hours ago.
It was like giving me a sign that 'they' did exist around me.
I could only be motionless for some time till I realized morning was coming.
I pulled down my blanket and checked time on the phone. 
It was 4:40 AM.
It was finally over ....

---------------------------------------------------------

When you wake up around 2-3 AM without any reason, there's an 80% chance that someone is staring at you."

 ---------------------------------------------------------

P.s: 
It's based on true story.
I wrote this as soon as I really woke up at 5 AM.
So, can you tell me what was happening on me last night?
