Remember my previous post where I said that I will snooze my brains out? ehehe Well I kinda did....
u
But even with that i managed to finish a book I just borrowed last week and completed the whole book yesterday and what more a book I just started reading yesterday. Yes, I have to admit I do read books prett fast. Therefore, these days, I try to borrow books more than I buy. Coz at the end of the day, i dont' want to be collecting more books when I don't have any place to keep em.
The book I just read is called Sam's Letter to Jennifer. Uh huh, you got that right, its a love story but the ironic thing is, its written by a man : James Patterson. this is the very ever first book in terms of love story that I have read which was written by a MAN. Its interesting that when you read the book, it kinda doesn't stick to your mind that the writer is a man. But truely its a book worth readin... for male or females. Its poignant and talks about love and life. So many beautiful quotes in there. I am gonna borrow one of his other books... another love story. But he is actually not a romance writer , he wrote books like The 4th of July and many more those category books. But the two i just mentioned were his only 2 romance books.
On sat morning, before I went for my facial, I was watcing channel 17 ( my fav channel - when it has nice things on) and there were showng the great outdoor adventure. Its how this couple of guys tried to conquer mount cotopaxi in Peru i think. How the stuff one guy said in there was so meaning. How cotopaxi is not for conquering. They can only reach the peak if cotopaxi allows it. They almost didn't make it 2 times and had to fall back. It made them realized that they didn't respect it enough. It was totally awesome how it was said. Anything on mother earth you can only experience if the big power allows you to................... Cool huh.
I love hearing quotes like that or statments like that. I started couple of years ago , where i kept this notebook and i wrote down all the quotes that touched me. Well after I left my pervious company, i sorta misplaced the book. Yeah I kinda misplaced alot of things in my life too... SIGH.
This is part of me that you shall learn more... as you get to learn more about me. I am a sentimental person... in alot of ways.... but by me talking about this doesn't really count. I would like you to know me when you read my blog. Of course I have to be honest to say that I would not in anyway, make myself read like an open book. Its not my style....
Also, lately, I have been having thoughts about moving to Italy.Why? Dunno ,maybe the idea of having the chance to live near a monastery and find solace is very enticing at the moment. Maybe it things permit, study philosphopy as its a subject matter that interest me as much as psychology does. :) I do not have any idea how my life would proceed after this or where things will lead me. But I do know I am tired of fighting. My fighting spirit is going down hill and I am resigned to let fate take me where faith wants to lead me.

I love James Patterson but I thought he only write detective stories. Stories of Detective Cross. Hmm.. didn't know he's into love novels too.
I believe I have read similar quotes when people were trying to conquer Mt Everest. One have to show respect to the mountain or else one will fail. All these stories are pretty motivating, aren't they?
