have read: the famous five


i think it was my classmate anna a. ang may favorite kay enid blyton, so when i chanced a copy, go, lets buy. ok naman si george. selfish kid. haha. ayaw niya ishare ang island niya. saka wala feeling ko masyadong may mga sariling isip ang mga kids na to. strong willed. if you think baout it, ok yun, pero kung bata ka at ganun ka dito sa pilipinas, i think ang tawag sa yo suwail. haha. easy reading.

have read: they're not your friends


xmas gift ni yvette this book. tungkol sa isang artista wannabe. whoaaaaa. story ito ng girl na gustong maging in sa hollywood kaya lahat ginagawa. nagwriter siya sa isang magazine at in fairness, amgaling talaga siya mag dig ng chismis kasi pwede siyang makapasok sa world ng artistas. no. 1, mukha syang artista, at cool siya ng girl. ito yung nagiging friend ng mga artista. wahahhah. and then theres this guy, another writer na super walang talent pero sikat sa magazine kasi apparently nakakkakuha siya ng scoop, eh imbento lang naman lahat. ang isyu niya, idedeny ba naman ni brad pitt na magaling siyang daddy na pinagluto nya n pancakes ang mga anak niya? whoaaa. imbento talgaa lahat ng stories niya. lahat masasaya at in praise of the artista para hindi ideny. hahhahha. and then theres another writer, a really old one na napaglipasan na ng panahon. wala na siyang makuhang stories kasi outdated na ang chismis getting skills niya. hes a sad character here. i think this book is not the ordinary chick lit. parang the author wants to squeeze in some philo insights ganun.

maganda ang book na ito. a story of a lawyer who decided he doesnt want to be a lawyer na after the biggest storm he experienced in his life.and then he met a girl named billie and that changed everything. aside from that, story din ito ng eternal love nila ni louise, his perennial best friend whos the wife of his boss. saka ito yung the author shows the scene. like, my god, how can i not gush in this scene habang nagfifishing sina louise at rob: parang louise just said while still holding to the rod, i love you. and the rob, trying not to miss a beat said, "of course you love me. we have loved each other forever. we will love each other forever. its eternal love we share. unending. forever." and then they looked at each other and smiled. the moment has passed again. whoaaaa. ang galing. sana ako na ang lang nagsulat nito. whoaaa.

have read: when character was king

magaling ang author. literary magsulat. poetic. poignant magsulat. grabe, the emotions, its as if you can feel them from the words. kaya ayan tuloy, peggy noonan is one of my favorite authors na. speechwriter siya ni reagan and bush. no wonder reagan was the great communicator. eh kung si ms noonan ba naman ang speechwriter mo. anyway, this is about regans life, as told by ms. noonan. you'll learn a lot of stuff dito about his realtionship with his kids, with his mommy "nancy", with his parents. even the history of his politics, nandito rin.because of how beautiful he writes, dapat basahin to. yung mere description will not give justice to ms. noonan's writing.

have read: pride and prejudice


winner opening line ito. no literary nut does not know "it is a truth universally acknowledged that a man in possession of a good fortune is in want of a wife". oh di ba? plus, i mean with the countless movies ba naman on our dear lizzie and the lovely mr darcy, sino ba naman ang hindi magbabasa nito. romatic comedy ito kumbaga sa movie, kaya lang in book form saka siyempre austen kaya kakaiba ang words. parang mga tipong melancholy air swept the room, ganun. weh. pero i think nandun nga ang charm nito. saka hello, how can you not fall in love with the fesity ms. bennet? even their mom, kahit medyo weirdo weirdo at preoocupied sa paghahanap ng asawa ng anak niya e medyo funny at winner character din. and the dad of course. i love lizzie's dad. super. i think i love him more than i love the man of the book, mr. darcy. pero siyempre si mr. darcy is like all the way up there pa rin. i mean how can you not love someone like him? kagalang galang at higit sa lahat, mahal niya si lizzie! wahhhh. i love the proposal. my god.
