book thingie

As you've noticed, I've just had two recent posts about a book I decided to read. I want to say that it's kind of a uniquely written book. It was delivered like the character was actually speaking to me. As I was reading, I just realized that he was talking about everything that comes to his mind, and it doesn't seem to mess the entire page of things he was supposed to say. He writes the way he thinks or speak, and I guess that's how we all do. We tell a story about something and for some reason it branches out to another story, and it goes on and on.


I got tied on his second to the last letter. So I spent a night thinking about what has happened to him. It's crazy how I was just literally cut reading when he was saying goodbye. Much to my surprise, the next letter was his last. And he was well.

I learned that we couldn't let our past loom over us. That we should keep moving forward and live. We will always learn things from different kinds of people. We make mistakes and we learn from them too. It is important that we always be true to what we are. Real friends will never leave you whatever happens and they are the ones that makes beautiful memories. We should be grateful with what we have. Our family may put us down sometimes but they will never leave us at our hardest moments. The lessons and realizations from this book may never end.

Books are one of the best things created. This one made me laugh and cry and get goosebumps. It feels sad but happy in most parts. It makes you sigh and agree to the infinite line of thoughts, wonder and wander why he thinks like he thinks. :)

Youngblood

One of the books I loved so much way back. 
It is composed of well-written essays of people twenty something below who has something to say about the world. It has something about learnings of growing up, about loving life, learning from mistakes and taking hold of it and being aware of the happenings of the society. Its a book about being a youth. 
This is one of the reasons why I loved writing. I actually wrote for this 4 years ago because it has a column on a newspaper and they publish one work per week. I didn’t get published. gehe. ^__^
Anyway, it’s worth reading! I used to have this book but someone borrowed it and never returned. Makes me sad remembering it. :( 
Lesson: Take note of people who can’t return anything borrowed.  T_T
