Bob Ong : Twisted

I have been addicted (word might be too strong) reading some of Bob Ong's works. I came across an article saying that there was this Book entitled Ang paboritong Libro ni Hudas... which we call as the black book. I really was intrigued on the title. Since then I have been a fan. He has now 6 books coming this May 2009 is the latest of his crap i mean craft making that the 7th book. Well alot of people say it would be called Kapitan Sino or the yellow book. But whatever it would be I hope it'll be good or better...something worth reading.

I think Bob Ong pointed out alot of what is actually happening not only in the country but in ourselves. He can talk about love without becoming too mushy. Criticize politicians but point out some of their "advantages" or pros. He lets us see both side I think. And I think uses sarcasm so well it gets to people. When we sympathize we make a connection. In his books we can relate to it that's why we like it so much. I like it because it does not so much use words only well-educated people could understand. More like a book for the masa but could be read by the elite as well. (lol) . His views are so twisted but so true. Like Jessica Zafra (i remembered her when i mentioned Twisted) he too has a twisted mind but he writes in Filipino thus making it alot easier to take in. And using Filipino makes it so swabe.. if that would have been written in english it wouldn't be that good.

But wahtever I am saying.. I don't know... Just like Bob Ong's books in my own crooked way.

Adios Amigos. Til next time!

I'm back

I only get to visit this page whenever am bored. Bored meaning nothing much to do. For the last few weeks there has been drastic changes in my life I lose my job(not my fault) but then I found a better one. I almost decided to go back home where all would be well and I don't need to worry because I am in my comfort zone. But here, in this very different land I was frightened. Even though I have my sister, cousin and friends here they can only say so much but it's always me(myself) who gets to feel everything the pain the 'paranoia' that life may bring on the decisions I've made. I was on a very low point in my life (i think?) but the one person I thought I could count on was never to be seen(not literally though). I had enough of expecting so much of a person who SEEM not to care or probably has issues of his own. I wasn't contented of being frightened I added up and broke my own heart by deciding to let go of him. I don't see any reason for us to stay together(not literally cuz we're world's apart). We live thousand miles away, in 3 years we have a year of that together and I could say maybe I really never knew him. But anyway, life goes on. I may be wounded and broken but I'm still strong enough to pick myself up and move on.

There I've said it. Whew!
