What book can do to me

I don't know if any of you also experiences this, but I just would like to share how my mood is greatly affected every time I read a book.
Just a few hours ago I read Dear John by Nicholas Spark because I was not satisfied with the movie's ending so I have to read it again and refresh my mind, though I was happy picturing Channing Tatum, my heart sank reading the last part of the book. I was sad not in a lonely kind of way but, sad because, it is something you know you have but you can't have, the irony of life. So I sat quietly on my station taking every call I can, trying to divert what I was truly feeling.
Just days ago, I read Twenties Girl by Sophie Kinsela and all day I was hoping that my life is as adventurous as she is, no not hunted by ghost, but probably experience the gray area of getting to know someone, not knowing how they really feel about you but you know they are special, more than friends less than lover kind of thing.
And everytime I notice that my book is affecting, I always remember "Twilight" why? because after I read the book I was hoping vampires were real and that there is someone like Edward, I was so into the book, I fell in love with him.(hahaha!) Am I making sense here?
Am I simply insane or this is what you really feel when all your free time is spent by reading books?

The Reading Challenge

At the start of the year there were two reading challenges I committed myself to The Goodreads Reading Challenge where you will decide how many books you can read for the year. The other one I got from my cousin but upon searching in Google it's a Popsugar Reading Challenge.  I must have underestimated my annual calendar because I challenged my self to red 50 books in Goodreads. I thought "50 books? Oh that's nothing, I have all the time in the world." And guess what? It's mid of November and here's my reading challenge. Apparently I didn't plan on being too busy during mid year but I'm not complaining I just didn't expect it to be like that. Still, I'm happy to I have read 25 books so far. And these are mostly YA books. What's with YA anyway? Am I old to be reading it? But that's another blog entry I suppose. I am happy to discover new authors that I will sure follow (Sarah Haas, Cassandra Rose Clarke) and the likes. With these 2...

Holy Bummin' Week

While others are out of town relaxing in a rest house somewhere, or swimming mostly in the south, I spent my holy week mostly at work and home alone in our house. My Mom went to Bicol and spent the Holy Week there while also preparing for the 80th Birthday of my Lola on June. From Monday to Thursday here was my schedule, water the plants before I even put my bag down, feed the cat, mop the floor, wash the dishes, play with my 9 months old niece and go to sleep until 8pm. At 8pm, prepare my baon for work, browse net and check facebook, then take a bath and go to work and same thing again the next day,pretty boring huh? but Friday to Sunday was different. I avail of our VTO (Volountary Timed Out) well the whole Friday I slept like I will not sleep again, play LAN games in the computer until 4am and I was too lazy to prepare something for breakfast because by this time I was really hungry since i slept the whole day, so what else should I do but dial the ever reliable Dial 8-MCDO. ...

He Can't face the Music

An English phrase was born through a Chinese story, you might be wondering how is that? So the story goes… Once there was an Emperor who loves music, he so loved it he organized a Royal Orchestra. The flutist of the Royal orchestra doesn’t really know how to play the flute, he just blows the instrument but no music was coming out of the flute, but he the benefits for being in the Royal orchestra, lodging, first class treatment and food fit for a King. One Day the King asked each musician to play for him, the Flutist said he was sick at the night of the performance, so the King send his Royal Physician to check the flutist, and the Physician reported that the Flutist was not sick. When the King ordered for the Flutist to be captured, the Physician told the Royal Guards… "The Impostor Can’t Face The Music" I chose to write about this because even the story is old, it is still applicable in the modern world. There are impostors, pretenders whatever we call them, but when confron...
