another blog entry expressing my love for books

Tonight, i decided to finish all my required papers for the family medicine rotation, but i can't get myself to start writing, thus i resorted to blogging (to keep my thoughts going and the words flowing:p).

I am in such in a sad state after finishing the Divergent-Insurgent-Allegiant series by Veronica Roth. And no, I wont be going through the effort of summarizing (or spoiling you if you haven't read it yet), since I would not want to go through everything that happened in those books again. Yes, it's that heart breaking.

I love reading books, reading anything for that matter. I can read and finish anything I put my heart and mind into and I don't believe that there are bad authors or poorly written stories/novels. Sometimes, no matter how annoying the characters can be, or how pathetic the stories are, I continue reading on. The moment I start reading, I allow myself to be captured into the story and be part of a different life (and make things more exciting in this sometimes-it-can-really-be-boring-kind of life). I believe that is the reason why I get so giddy and kilig when reading about sappy stuff, get really annoyed when something annoying happens and get really brokenhearted for character's deaths or break ups or anything that makes all the happiness in that world evaporate.

I know I've said this a lot of times already, but I love how reading takes me to places, lets me meet a lot of new people, makes me feel a lot of emotions, and allows me to have a glimpse of other lifetimes. Having a story to end makes me really sad that I sometimes tend to hate myself for even reading those stories instead of studying for my upcoming exam (which is exactly what I'm feeling right now).

Sigh. Well, we can't always have happy endings. It's either accepting that sad reality or resort to reading fairy tales which will surely always let me have my happily ever after. But sometimes, I can't help myself wish that it ended differently or that it never ended at all.

anyway, i hope this blog entry would help me move on. ha. and no in spite of all this drama, I don't actually regret reading any books no matter how much they made me cry or crazy.

Now, off to writing some serious reflection stuff. :p

a sad day.

i was a messenger last tuesday for my mom. she asked me to whisper a message to my tita. and just this afternoon, while i was in the lab for thesis, my mother texted me that tita lita is gone. it was quite expected, since this has been her third time in the past 3 months to be hospitalized. her third time that transfusion is needed. and of the three times, maybe this was the worst. *** she has given a lot to others. to her parents, her siblings and to us, her nephews and nieces. i was able to live with her for three years during high school and i have a lot of things to thank her for. I'm not that sure if she knows how grateful i am that i was able to stay with her during those times. looking back i would not have chosen any other place to stay for high school apart from hers. no matter how far paranaque may be in manila. i would never forget the mornings where she would wake up early too since i need to be at school early and she would stay late in pnu since our classe...

and things will start to change..

to start it all: my hair! haha. it's short now. like kindergarten short. haha. i like it. and i wanted to have my hair cut since summer, but because of grad pictorials, i need to postpone it. and grad pictorials are done - and i don't want to postpone it any longer. haha. so i had my hair cut yesterday afternoon after watching the Agnes of God play with my brother. (i have no decent pictures yet so you need to see me personally if you want to see it. i feel weird. i think it looks weird. haha.) and so everything follows. *** change is something inevitable. a natural phenomenon that would definitely happen in one way or another. we can't stop it (i think) but we can postpone it and i think i've postponed "that" inevitable change for too long now, and I have no other choice but to let it happen. i've already felt the urge to remove that something from my system at the start of the sem (as the change im talking about). well, i knew i need to deal wi...
