success!!!
I actually finished a book in just a day!...it’s sooo not me…Just like I promised myself before, if this school year ends, I’d read books. I’m a slooow reader, maybe because I have slooow comprehension (i hope not). I’ve little vocabulary. Ever since I graduated from college and worked (before entering med school), I no longer know how to construct straight English, for crying out loud! Especially during reporting/synthesis, my mind can’t easily find words to fill up the ahhh, ummm, ahhh…Maybe my mind just suddenly stopped working, or maybe that’s just an exaggerated reaction…let’s just say, probably when you stop studying for a while and work, you’re no longer friends with lettersss, wordsss, sentencesss, booksss (like as if we’re friends before hehe) and so I decided to read books…naks!
Now that I’m actually home and have all the time for myself, without having to worry about exams, synthesis, assignments, readings, etc..etc..I now chose to read… again…No! not medical books hehe…I’m pretty sure some of you, my avid readers (ehem!) have read “The Five People You Meet in Heaven” by Mitch Albom…right? I read it just for the sake of accomplishing my plan to finished a book, maybe that’s the reason why I didn’t like the story as much as I like “The Alchemist” by Paolo Coelho (tama ba pagkaspell? Sorry, like I said, I’m not friends with books, but I’m trying to be one)…or maybe, the story is not just much of my type…or again, maybe I just read it because I was challenged by my friend *Peps, who also is not a book lover, but! take note: finished “The Alchemist” (my gift to her) in just a day…whow! So, a vision of me glowing, with matching halo above said: “If others can do it, so can I!”…check! so there, I read the book. And before dinner, voila! Done. wakekekek! You know dinner for me is detrimental to my readings ‘coz if I haven’t finished a book then nag dinner ako saying: ”I’ll just finished it after eating” then consider that book to be never read again. Just like what happened in “Thy Brother’s Wife,” “Da Vinci Code” and someone’s blog that I read…nakalimutan ko rin kc web site…
Okay so much for the intro…In fairness, I’ve taken lines that struck me (charing!). Why did it struck me? I don’t know, it just did…so go figure it yurself. Here goes:
Lesson 1
. . . in the small distance between being taken and being missed, lives are changed.
“Strangers, are just family you have yet to come to know.”
“No life is a waste. The only time we waste is the time we spend thinking we are alone.”
Lesson 2
“It’s the thinking that gets you killed.” (oh really?)
“Sacrifice is a part of life. It’s supposed to be. It’s not something to regret.”
“Sometimes when you sacrifice something precious, you’re not really losing it. You’re just passing it on to someone else.”
Lesson 3
. . . to be loyal to one another.
“Holding anger is a poison. It eats you from inside.”
Lesson 4
“Lost love is still love. It takes a different form.”
“Life has to end. Love doesn’t.”
Lesson 5
“Nothing marked here.” (walang naka-marker, kaya nothing nakaka-struck cguro, kala nyo ano? hehe)
Epilogue
. . . each affects the other and the other affects the next, and the world is full of stories, but the stories are all one.
Footnote: *Peps – I’ll write an article which includes her soon.
