My Latest Passion (May 13, 2011)

Letlet have this post christmas suprise for Tinay and I and she gave me this

Keeping the Moon by Sarah Dessen

I became a fan of Sarah Dessen even before I’ve read her books and I adored her even more when I read this. The character’s names, the way she writes and the content itself. It is not just a typical chick flick love story. It is a love story of life, love and friendship. Here are some of my favorite lines:

1. The important thing to remember is that you are a human being and worthy of respect. -Morgan

2. Believe in yourself up here and it will make you stronger more than you could ever imagine. -Isabel

3. I think that being brave and self-confident doesn’t necessarily start inside, honey. It starts with the rest of the world, and it leads back to you. -Colie’s Mom

4. I don’t believe in failure because simply by saying you’ve failed, you’ve admitted you’ve attempted. And anyone who attempts is not a failure. Those who truly fails in my eyes are the ones who never try at all. The ones who sit on the couch and whine and moan and wait for the world to change for them. -Colie’s Mom

And that’s it. I love it. Do I need to say more? <3 :D

Wait. There’s more. On that same day, May 6, my friends and I went to SM San Lazaro to just do anything. We went to this Book Sale and I was able to buy these two books that I’ve been waiting to read. (It’s because I just finished Keeping the Moon and keeping myself busy with Dear John.)

I spent P130.00 ONLY for this two lovely books. The Promise of Happiness is a story about family and the Firefly Lane is about friendship. I have this hopeful thinking that I’ll learn more about life by reading books. That I’ll be able to use all the lessons in my everyday. 

Anyway, this I just wanna share. Ciao! :D
