When does the last airbender come out in theaters?
galing mong magsulat, am envious.
caught between the sliver of reality and dreams...
But my foot is stuck in the dragon's mouth.
Cos this is my Rant Page and there's nothing you could do about it.

Live by the Book
June 15, 2010I’ve always lived by the book. In and out.
I’ve always seen myself as someone who had bloomed late.. as I have lived my early life by the book - obeying my parents as much as possible, having no “gimik” life during my student days, a benevolent wallflower (tho people who know me by glance wouldnt say that of me nowadays), or having my life ruled by the grades I should get next on that report or class card.. till I graduated.
And well, I’ve loved reading books.. ever since my mama bought me that Nancy Drew pocketbook - about this silver persian cat with the violet paperback cover, if I remember it right. I’ve been an addict ever since. Nancy Drew to Hardy Boys to Sidney Sheldon to John Grisham to Anne Rice to Tolkien. From there, I’ve read quite a lot - tho i can only but name a few love themed books I’ve read, never was a fan of something mushy and gushy.
Now I’ve just finished my nth. The Blood of Flowers.
And with evevry book I read, I live it. I feel as tho im part of it. No matter what and where I felt it. And so now I carry the burden of Maheen’s daughter, the heroin of the book. Set in the 17th century Persian culture,the words sewn by the author was very much fitted for a modern day audience. But it was ok. I was still drawn to the simplicity of how everything was written.
And so now I feel her depression, her anguish, her desperation.. I’ve long finished the book hours ago yet i still feel its entrails inside me. I guess you can say its a good book. But with every book I read, I seem to see myself suffering the same.
Maybe I should try to do a review..
