Past and Peace

  It was the closure I never knew I needed, it came in a dream, and I woke up with the vividness still lingering in my mind. All the hurt deeply rooted in the unspoken pain I ignored for years was given a much-welcomed atonement. He came to me in a dream, we were both surprised to see each other, and I felt the emotions I once felt for him; the moment I saw him from afar; my heart raced with excitement and gladness, a moment where I thought I belonged to someone, I am his, he was mine, and everything around us went a blur.

Books I've Read

 


When I was in elementary, my favorite place was the library. The librarians were very kind to me. I was always neck to neck with my childhood best friend, Michael, with the most books borrowed award. However, I often lose to him because he's excellent at reading; I find joy in having a community that fosters intellectual stimulation and creativity. I was fortunate to grow up in an environment free from gadgets, cellphones, laptops, and the internet. Back then, these were luxuries, so my favorite thing to do was read to pass the time. My childhood was filled with the humor of The Adventures of Mang Ambo by Larry Alcala, Pugad Baboy by Pol Medina, the Harry Potter series by J.K. Roling, The World Almanac, and Chicken Soup for the Soul, Guinness Book of World Records, Sidney Sheldon and so much more. It's as if these books transcended me to an adventure where my imagination was challenged and enlighted. They served as my company as I discovered myself.

Most of these books were recommendations from my friends or some "monthly picks" by the library. Something is intriguing when people give testimonials about what to read next because it opens a box of subjective experiences that tickles the imagination. So I was inspired to make this part of my blog because maybe somewhere, someone might be looking for a new book to read, and he would appreciate a perspective from someone who has read it already.

I'll try my best to share my thoughts without spoiling the story. Hopefully, this would be an excellent way to revitalize the once glorified hobby of reading.
