ADDICTED to ... books !

I love reading books. I don’t have specific genre or what kind of book I want to read, as long as it’s interesting for me.I think it started out back when I was in High School days. I can still remember the first book I ever read, the “Sweet Valley High” which I only borrowed from my best friend that time. It is actually a series book, from then on I started reading different books/novels.

I’m also addicted to reading tagalog romance novels during my teenage days. I can finish reading atmost 10 pieces of novels a day. My mom would get angry at me that time because I can no longer do any household chores because of that, all I do is just read, read and read the whole day. But nowadays, I don’t read any tagalog romance novels, I don’t know, I just don’t enjoy it anymore. It seems like it doesn’t appeal to me now and I didn’t find it interesting compared before, the stories are so common and boring.

During my College days, I love reading fiction novels; scary stories about aliens, ghosts, super naturals, etc. I am a big fan of Dean Koontz when it comes to fiction books. I also like reading novel versions of movies I have watched. I appreciate both the movies and novels, although they have some differences.

Sometimes I was able to influence my other friends and even my sister who’s not really into reading books. They are intrigued on how enthusiastic I am with what I am reading, then eventually they will borrow it from me and then after that they are as addicted to books as me. :D

Right now, I have lots of e-books collections of different authors saved in my laptop, it is actually from my friend who is also addicted to reading books. I don’t know yet how will I read them one by one since I’ve been busy to work these past few days. But, I’m hoping I could because it’s one of my goal this year; to read more books compared to last year.

Hi Gracie!

Thanks for following my blog :)

I just read your post about books, I absolutely LOVE reading (mainly historical fiction and romance - I'm a huge fan of Jane Austen, if only she'd lived longer to write more books!!) Also, I started off reading Sweet Valley High too! I was in high school and I would borrow a book from the series every week! That's definitely where my love of reading began too (that and the Babysitter's Club).

Happy blogging! :)

Random Thoughts

In general, society expects you to act in a way what is acceptable to most of the people. No matter how hard you try to ignore the noise around you, sometimes it tends to find its way to affect how you think, you decide, you believe, and your overall values.  It's been a long time, it's like I'm fighting a battle of my own. I'm trying to fight between trying to stick with what's making me happy or just live a life where it's less complicated.  I'm in a phase where I'm trying to figure out what's best to do with my life. I really believe that I should not be living my life for the sake of other people. But, what if it means fighting for the rest of your life? All these dilemma that's running in my head for a while now leads me to think or do things I think is not right.  Recently, I've made a terrible mistake just because once again I'm on a battle of my own, that doing so this is more acceptable than what I am on. Because traditionally, i...

Trip Down Memory Lane

I saw a girl walked out from the house, she walked fast as she could, head and shoulder down so no one would notice the tears in her eyes. She don't know where else to go so she went to the church couple of blocks away.. hoping it was still open but was already closed upon arriving there, even the small chapel beside it. She went directly to the playground across the street and sat quietly on a swing in a cold dark night as the tears falls down. Thinking will it ever get better?.. Some girl came and asked if she was okay, and she softly answered "yeah, I'm okay".  Years passed, same question runs through her mind. Does it ever get better?
