despite my hectic (i tell you, it really is hectic) schedules, i still try to find time to read books. i love reading books. its my escape from all the pressure, worries, problem and stress the world is throwing at me. last post, i mentioned about a book that i was reading for 2 weeks now, well.. i 've finally finished it. booyah. :)
Message in a Bottle by Nicholas Sparks
i do remember seeing excerpts from the movie version of this story. i was so young to understand what it was about back then but i do remember the guy, opening the drawer and seeing the letters. how ironic, the only part i saw (i guess) and remembered was the climax part of the story.
well, back to the book. i love the story. although it became too dragging for me in the middle parts when Garett and Theresa tried to endure their long distance relationship. well maybe it's because i knew Garett was going to find out about the letters (because of the movie) so i wanted it to happen fast. haha. knowing myself, i know i have a weak spot for death of loved ones. id always cry even if i am just reading a blog post about a friend who died, a short story, a novel, a movie, whenever someone dies, id cry popcorns. but when Garett died, i didn't cry that much. it wasn't the typical cry i always have for those death parts. but the last two letters in the book (Garett to Theresa and Theresa to Garett) made me cry a hecka lot. awwwww. darn it. my heart really sank. especially in Garett's narration of his dream wherein Catherine said
"who do you think it was who brought the bottle to her?" even after i closed the book, i couldn't compose myself. i really continued to cry.
god, Nicholas Sparks, you really know how to touch our hearts. everyone reading this blog, i suggest you read this book. if A Walk to Remember made you cry, i bet the magic of this book would also work on you, too.
Powerbooks @ SM Northwing
we were in SM Cebu this afternoon and mom gave me money to buy something i like since she wasn't able to bring us pasalubongs from India/Malaysia (she was too caught up with her presentations. no hard feelings. :P) . i originally wanted to buy a Rubik's Cube from Toy Kingdom but they still don't have Rubiks (c'mon Toy Kingdom! it's a toy kingdom for god's sake, where is that Toy??). i tried checking the clothes but SM is still to expensive for me when it comes to clothes so i went to Powerbooks. my first time in that store and i fell in love w/ the store. there are just so many books to choose from. i was even having a hard time choosing a book to bring home. i ended up buying
The Undomestic Goddess by Sophie Kinsella. but i am definitely going back to Powerbooks. and if you're having a hard time choosing a gift for me, try checking Powerbooks. :P
New Found Glory
i am so loving thier music. i love how they turn old songs to rock. the thing is, i'm familiar with the songs, but just can't stop loving their music. they also have a good choice of songs.
*bows down in praise*All Hail New Found Glory!
I've been noticing
this post is basically all about the things i am recently loving. hahaha. :P

Like a man who gazes only backward on a trip across the country, i ignored what lay ahead. I missed the beauty of a coming sunrise, the wonder of anticipation that makes life worthwhile"
