never been to the city of Pines.

Good friends miss each other and what they only want is to spend some time together and bring back the old times, catch up and laugh as if it's just yesterday that they've been away. And that's what my high school classmates, IV-Aries`04, planned. They'll be getting together for the week-ends. Their destination would be Baguio City. Sadly, I couldn't be with them as much as I wanted to. Oh LOSER!!! How's that? We're having our corporate planning tomorrow, which is also the day when they'll be leaving for Baguio. Yeah, I won't be able to join them. :( Just this moment, Xandra asked me if I don't have plans of joining them. Naiinggit na ako hindi pa man sila umaalis!!! Hahaha. Oh well.. you guys take care and have fun. Maybe next time, I'll be with you.

i fell in love with books, but i was brokenhearted over and over again.

I couldn't say that I am a book worm myself, cause that would be overrated. A "novel lover" may not be bad if I may say so. I've been reading a bunch from way back when. Though my interests are limited to fictions (which include psychological thrillers, detective/mystery novels and light love stories) and a little of non-fictions, still there's a room to explore other topics. Been reading books by books and authors by authors. How on earth did these authors' imagination lead to their stories is one thing I've always thought after finishing one. Sometimes, I even wonder if I could be like them - writers in their own genres. Uhm.. it left me with nothing to say but "uhhh well, I didn't even try writing a short one. So probably, it's better if I just continue what I am comfortable of... and that's reading!" Yeah I know, I am not that only person who admires Nicholas Sparks. There are millions of my kind all over the planet. Many of you knew him well more than I do. Why`d I picked him as my favorite among the so-many authors I liked? (Not to mention my love for J.K. Rowling, cause it's another story) Cause he's the one who made me moved! I've read a number of his books already and have picked my most favorite among them which is "The Wedding". Sparks' writings were all over the movies but I honestly just watched two, I guess. I recommend that you read first the book before going through its movie because it's way better than silver screen. Almost all of his books I've read made my eyes red and misty. Every book he has written is a masterpiece in it's own way. His books moved me, made me cry buckets, made me smile and made me realize some things through his words.

Just yesterday, I finished his non-fiction-kind-of-autobiography book, "Three Weeks with my Brother". I swear that I am still in awe right at this moment. This book filled my eyes with tears chapter by chapter. I learned about his childhood and how he became a millionaire unexpectedly because of writing. He had a LOT in his life, a series of ups and downs. Now, I know where his books came from. I really can't explain how I felt for him while reading the book. You should find out yourself. :)

Oh, I still have five Sparks' to read. Might as well continue my reading.
