Now Playing: Mr. Brightside by The Killers

If someone will notice, my recent posts have only been blabbing about GG, AI or my fatal boredom inside our house. I just don't feel like updating about the things that happened to me so far. Or when I do, someone's occupying the computer so its just stuck in my head like a crazy song.

So now, I thought of writing about books. BOOKS. The five books that I've proudly finished this summer.

1. Macarthur by Bob Ong. I read this during my first day of summer. And the shortest book among these five. To be honest, I was truly surprise that a man like Bob Ong would write a fictional story about drugs, the survival of poverty-stricken folks and the untrustworthiness of policemen. I really pity Mang Justo, though.


2. Turning Angel by Greg Iles. This is probably the longest and the most uhhhmmm.. R-18? God, I knew a lot of sexual things on these books that are too inappropriate for my age. I could have stopped reading it, but an unfinished book haunt me sometimes. Anyway. It talked about the murder of a stunning incoming 18-year old freshman who had an affair with a doctor. Murders here and there, lies everywhere. Penn Cage's a really brave man. He did everything in his power to save his friend and to take care of her daughter even if it costs his life.
   


3. The Da Vince Code by Dan Brown. We had the illustrated edition lurking in our living room since the movie was released but I never had the curiosity to open it. So, out of boredom, I decided to read it. It wasn't as intriguing as I thought. I can't see the point why some Christians wanted to stop it from airing in the big screen. Duh? It's only a book. Although after reading it, it made me want to visit France someday. Especially the Louvre Museum.

I'll continue this next time. Sayonara!

Maraming bagay ang mahal 'pag wala kang pera.

Give us this day our daily dose of faux affliction
Forgive our sins
Forged at the pulpit with forked tongues selling faux sermons
Because I am a new wave gospel sharp, and you'll be thy witness
So gentlemen, if you're gonna preach then for God sakes preach with conviction

Galing pa yan dun sa dati nilang album, pero paikot-ikot sa utak ko kaya tinaype ko na lang. Nagbabakasakaling mabura. Siya nga pala, lumabas na yung bago nilang album. 'Di na masyadong mabilis kumanta si Brendon kaya pwede mo na 'tong kantahin sa kalye na hindi napapahiya ang sarili.

Ako ay sobrang nababagot. Sobrang bagot na kaya ko nang kainin ang daliri para pasayahin ang aking saliri.

Wala nga ako sa pag-iisip para mag-blog ngayon eh. Naisipan lang para may mabago naman.

Teka, narinig niyo ba na pwedeng i-reschedule ang summer? Oo, reschedule. Dahil daw sa global climate change. [Magkukunwaring alam ang mga pinagsasabi] Kewl.

Baka umalis na naman ako. Babalik 'pag may naisip ng makabuluhan, yung pwede ng pampelikula.



Hay naku. Anong klase ba namang summer 'to, ang lamig-lamig. Nyaa. Pero ayos lang, tititig lang ako sa mukha ni Papa Chace tunaw na ang kalamnan ko.

I need to get away. Got to get away.

My summer's not getting any better! It's only a month 'till classes start again and I still haven't caught sight of the beach. Wala pa akong nagagawang may saysay. I think the only good thing this summer is watching American Idol and Gossip Girl over and over again. Nyaaa. Jason Castro's casted off already. Kawawa naman si Lala.

A Rush of Blood to the Head

Some stories must wait to be told.

Any writer worth his salt know this. Sometimes you wait for events to percolate into your subconscious until a deeper truth emerges; other times you're simply waiting for the principals to die. Sometimes it's both.

This story is like that.

A girl walks the straight and narrow all her life; she follows the rules, stays within the lines; then one day she makes a misstep. She crosses the line and sets in a chain of events that will take from her everything she has and damn her forever in the eyes of those she loves.

We all sense that invisible line of demarcation, like an unspoken challenge hanging in the air. And there is some wild thing in our nature that makes us want to cross it, that compels us with the silent insistence evolutionary imperative to risk all for a glinting shadow. Most of us suppress that urge. Fear stops us more than wisdom, as in most things. But some of us take that step. And in the taking, we start down a path from which it is difficult and sometimes impossible to return.

-Turning Angel by Greg Iles. I love love love this book. I recommend this for those who love books that showcases a lot of mystery and violence.
