this is not a book review

just finished reading a book, a pocketbook actually.
ahhhmmm...

just finished ranting as to how it has left me...dot, dot, dot.
(lost for words!) don't know how to describe my emotions

but probing deeper...
I realized, I rode on the lead character's emotions
I agreed with her, supported her
her decisions, her crazy ideas
I silently voted for her out-of-the-blue-gestures
and silently chided her friends for not agreeing with her
and what 'we' (the lead character and me) thought was the 'right' way to take
backfired at us
lalo na sa akin...

did I relate to her character so much that when she 'failed' with her expectations
I felt her devastation was also mine

and now I am really thinking that this book is no coincidence
and is a wakeup call for me...
So, shall I wake up, now na?
:)

All I know is that I don't want to end up like her
I've decided, I believe, weeks ago (even before I read this book)
that I'll steer clear of occasions, events, situations, or any insinuations
that would lead me to assume that there is something, whatever that 'something' is.
argh!
And I need to be realistic...
So that I'll have tangible results
Correct.

If it's doodling when you're drawing
And it's babling when you're talking
It's called blogging when you're writing
argh!

Thanks to Abi...and Juno.
Especially to Juno.

La lang...

For now, I simply want to bask in the good feeling that I was able to finish reading a book
Thank you, Lord for the opportunity to finish one.
even a short one at that.

As for the book...
am not sure if the writer is so good that she was able to make me take on Abi's choices
or I'm just somehow going through something similar to what Abi went through

sabi nga ni Claire, between dinner and the morning star...star tlaga!
:)

and yes, I'll wake up na po...
Am wide awake na...
