Who's That Girl ?..


I haven’t read a book again for some time now. The last book I read was the Vampire Academy series.

My next book project to read :

Who’s that Girl ?.. – Alexandra Potter
I haven’t started reading it yet. Maybe, after the holidays.

So for now, here’s the short excerpt from the book ..

“ If only you knew then what you know now ...

Imagine if you could go back ten years and meet your younger self – would you recognise her ? What advice would you give ?

* Wear sunscreen
* Back away from those PVC trousers
* Don’t give that idiot your phone number
* Lemon juice won't bleach your hair - it just attracts wasps
* He’s the One – don’t let him get away

For Charlotte Merryweather, there’s no need to imagine. She’s about to find out for real. With some surprising consequences ...

Alexandra Potter’s deliciously enchanting romantic comedy looks at life, love and what might happen if you could turn back time.”

~~

This sounds interesting to me, the first time I saw this book I knew then that I really want to read this. The story of it was something close to reality when you’re in the point of your life thinking about “what if’s .. if only ..” but you can’t do anything about it.

I was once asked by someone if given a chance to turn back time, would I turn back to change, undo or improve what happened from the past ?.. I don’t know.. but come to think of it .. what if we could and meet our younger self ?.. What will we do ?..

An excerpt from the book Someone Like You by Sarah Dessen: Halley and Scarlett have been best friends ever since they met. Halley has always been the quiet one; Scarlett braver and more outgoing. Halley has always turned to Scarlett when things get rough, and Scarlett has always known just what to do. It’s the perfect set up. But everything changes at the beginning of their junior year. Scarlett’s boyfriend is killed in a motorcycle accident; then she finds out that she is carrying his baby. For the first time ever, Scarlett really needs Halley. Now Halley has to how to be strong for Scarlett. It won’t be easy, but Halley knows that she can’t let Scarlett down. Because a true friend is a promise you keep forever. ~~ This is definitely not a book review. I think I’m not good at it. I just realized while reading and after finishing it, that I can relate to the character of Halley. I remember when I was a kid, I don’t have a best friend to be called. There’s no kid in my h...

Trauma has its name..

Some of us aren't lucky enough to have a glorious childhood or teenage days. Some of us have to dealt with terrible loneliness, crying their selves to sleep, sitting alone in the park, constant yelling at home, much worst seeing their parents hurt each other both verbally/emotionally and physically. As I grow up, my sense of insecurity also grew up rapidly whenever I saw some kid having bonding moment with their families or having a good laugh over something or just petty things. Asking myself every time, will it get better? But I know, things won't change in a snap of your finger or a tick of a magic wand just like in some fairy tales we've watched when we were a kid. I grew up believing, happiness will come to me if I work hard for myself, for them to provide whatever they need. Maybe, just maybe things will change.  Physical wounds heals easy, but emotional pains stays within you. It is forcefully stored inside, keeping it from others to see, it will either make you or b...

FOR YOU..

For the independent ones, who doesn't let their family know their worries because they don't like them to be worried about anything. For the breadwinners, who many times have nothing left on their pockets but still have to find way just to provide. For the strong ones, who choose to stand still because they know they don't have anyone as back-up but themselves. For those who choose to go on, because they know giving up is not option, because what will happen to everyone they care if it's just them who holds it together. For those who sets aside their happiness because there is more important than that. This is for YOU. Though many times, things happens not as much what you want or planned for, one day, time will come, everything will take its place accordingly. One day, you will no longer worry for tomorrow. One day, you no longer stare at your monthly expenses or your monthly bills, thinking where you will get it. One day, you will no longer feel guilty whenever you b...
