my thoughts in bare

Some people never understand my fondness on reading a book. I even found myself keeping secret when buying books, making sure the price tag was neatly removed and receipts were put in trash.. it's because I had these feeling some people may not understand me spending money on books when there are more other things to be priorized or more valuable than it. Here are the list I think only book lovers would understand.. We know the uniqueness of a book. We know it will always be different than any other movie adaptation. It's not that we want to criticize those movies, we know that they had put a lot of work for that. They would never understand our disappointment when our expectations wasn't met after watching the movie knowing we had read the book. Having a hard copy.  Nowadays, reading any books you want is so easy thru ebooks, ipad, kindle, etc. I admit, I've been a fan of ebooks for some time, as my budget limits me from buying books most of the time. ...

It was released theatrically in North America on February 5, 2010. The film was directed by  Lasse Hallström , and it is an  adaptation  of  Nicholas Sparks's   novel of the same name . It follows the life of a soldier ( Channing Tatum ) after he falls in love with a young woman ( Amanda Seyfried ). They decide to exchange letters to each other after he is deployed to the war. The movie was filmed in 2009 in  Charleston, South Carolina . " Again, this is definitely not a book review nor a movie review. This is just my random thoughts after reading the book last week and watching the movie yesterday.  I know I am bit late for this, as this movie was released two years ago and the book was released last 2006. I real...

I just finished reading McArthur by Bob Ong last night. I was touched by the story that I almost cried. His approach on this book is quite different from his previous books that is known for his comic sidetrips as he tried to reveal the flaws in our society. This book is about sad realities of being poor and underprivileged in the country, about the wrong things that we keep on doing over and over again, stories about indecent policemen and the importance of education. Bob Ong is just concern to us Filipinos and to the country, but not all people understands this. There are lots of close-minded people who takes it negatively the way he tackles about the flaws in our society and our wrong-doings. "Dalawang dekada ka lang mag-aaral. Kung di mo pagtitiyagaan, anak, limang dekada ng kahirapan ang kapalit. Sobrang lugi. Kung alam lang yan ng mga kabataan, sa pananaw ko e walang gugustuhing umiwas sa eskwela" I remember my younger brother, he didn't want to go ...

Aside from the e-books saved in my laptop, which I still don't know when will I find time and start reading again. These are the books lined up for me to read. MCARTHUR BY BOB ONG I have already read some of his books that's why I want to read more of his works. I love his approach in delivering the message about reality, life, politics, etc. through his wits and humor. DO YOU COME HERE OFTEN ? - ALEXANDRA POTTER Alexandra Potter is my new found favorite author. I have read her " Who's that girl ? " and I find it fascinating. After that, I want to read more of her books. Hopefully, this weekend I could start reading at least one of my pending must-read 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 abo...
