Should i give up? or should i just keep chasing pavements?

“You can become blind by seeing each day as a similar one. Each day is a different one, each day brings a miracle of its own. It's just a matter of paying attention to this miracle.”

The moment of dawn

'When a stranger approaches, and we think he is our brother, and all conflicts disappear, that is the moment when night ends and day begins.'

Because of yearbook requirements...

"If tomatoes wanted to be melons

They would look completely ridiculous

I’m always amazed

That so many people are concerned

With wanting to be what they are not:

What is the point of making yourself look ridiculous?

You don’t always have to pretend that you are strong,

There is no need to prove all the time that everything is going well

You shouldn’t be concerned about what other people are thinking,

Cry if you need to,

It is good to cry out all your tears

(Because only then you will be able to smile again)...

I want to be someone capable of seeing the unseen faces, of seeing those who do not seek fame or glory who silently fulfil the role life has given them...."


-Paulo Coelho (Like the Flowing River)

Eclipse and The Alchemist

Yesterday I bought Eclipse by Stephanie Meyer and The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho. I was actually planning to buy all of the twilight series pero walang available na hardbound. I didn't want to buy the paperback edition because it easily gets dilapidated. However, the fully booked miss found a hardbound Eclipse. Thank You. I bought it together with Paulo Coelho's The Alchemist. I was super happy. When I got home, I felt really stupid for getting The Alchemist and not Veronika Decides to Die which I've been wanting to read since forever!! Oh well, I'll just buy that book next time and also Twilight and New Moon.

I just finished reading The Alchemist, by the way. It's really good and the ending's really funny, sorry, ang babaw pero it super made me smile. I'm planning to read it again but I don't see the connection of Narcissus with The Story of Santiago. Anyone who wants to tell me?

I've read Eclipse last year and the other two books of Stephanie Meyer. I know it's kind of like wasting money to buy Eclipse since I've read it but i love the story and I just want to have all the twilight series so I can read them over and over again. Oh, and I'm uber excited for the twilight movie. :P

Paulo Coelho

Paulo Coelho is my favorite author. He is just amazing. His books are filled with messages of hope, love, courage, etc. I just love reading his books and his blog.
Since he is my favorite author i thought i should know more things about him aside from the fact that he is a widely known author. From my research i found out that he's from Brazil. haha yeah, i never knew he came from there. Now i know why most of his book are set there. Before he dedicated his life to writing, he worked in theaters as a director and actor. He was also a journalist and lyricist. His first book was Hell Archives which made no impact at all. His second book was the world famous The Alchemist. However it had slow initial sales that his publisher told him to let go of it. (good thing Paulo Coelho didn't) He went on and now it is one of the best selling Brazilian books of all time. Today, he has sold 100 million copies (woah, he must be super rich right now!) He was the most sold author in 2003 with his book Eleven Minutes (at that time it wasn't even released in the UN, Japan and 10 other countries yet). The Alchemist was in 6th place in 2003. Eleven minutes topped the list in the whole world except in England. The Zahir was in 3rd place best sellers next to Dan Brown's The Da Vince Code and Angels and Demons. His most sold book is The alchemist. It has sold 30 million copies so far. He entered the Guinness Book of Records as the author who signed more books in different editions. Pope John Paul II welcomed him in Vatican.

That's everything i know about him. You can visit his blog at http://paulocoelhoblog.com/ There are a lot of nice stories there. You can also know more about him by going to this site : http://www.paulocoelho.com.br/engl/bio.shtml

omg! Witch of Portobello is available in his blog for free!!! yey! also The Valkyries.
