Will Grayson, WIll Grayson

Just finished reading Will Grayson, Will Grayson by John Green and David Levithan.

I swear I am in love with these two writers. Separately they're amazing \what more if you combine their genius in a book its double the genius. WHAT? But seriously, they have the capability to actually bring you into another world and another dimension and make you forget of your own reality and just enjoy the characters of the story. And also they never forget to deliver endless life quotes in a book. This one isn't any different as I actually have a bunch of pictures of these and there are a number of dog-eared pages in my book. I can actually read this book again and again and again and again.

One more thing going for this book is its main idea. How you come into terms with who you are and being friends with people and how to be a friend and it even touches on gay awareness, but most importantly the book teaches its readers how to confront different and difficult emotions all together. Its crazy, really you should pick this one up. I'm not so sure with what I'm writing or why I am writing this but all I really want to say is this book is too awesome for my life. I swear. It has such a depth of love in its different forms.

Its a genius concept written by really incredible writers and in an unorthodox way. Yes. This book is unorthodox. And I just completely fell in love with it.
me: you know what sucks about love?
o.w.g: what?
me: that it's so tied to the truth.

Let It Snow



I felt so alone on that train.. a weird unnatural kind of alone that bore into me. It was feeling just beyond fear and somewhere to the left of sadness.Tired but not the kind of tired that sleep fixes. Ir was dark and gloomy, and yet, it didn't seem that things would get any better if the were turned up. If anything, I would be able to get a much better look at my unpleasant situation.- Jubilee, The Jubilee Express
 There is always the risk: something is good and good and good and good, and then all at once it gets awkward. All at once, she sees you looking at her, and then she doesn't want to joke around with you anymore, because she doesn't want to seem flirty, because she doesn't want you to think she likes you. It's such a disaster, whenever, in the course of human relationships, someone begins to chisel away at the wall of separation between friendship and kissing. Breaking down the wall that is the kind of story that might have a happy middle-- o, look, we broke down this wall, I'm going to look at you like a girl and you're going to look at me like a boy and we're going to play a fun game called Can I Put My Hand There What About There What About There. And sometimes that happy middle looks so great that you can convince yourself that it's not the middle that will last forever. - Tobin, Cheertastic Christmas Miracle
But then again (and here is one of my main complaints about human consciousness): one you think a thought, it is extremely difficult to unthink it. And I had thought the thought. - Tobin, Cheertastic Christmas Miracle

Aladdin :)

After a few days of caving in at the house I finally decided, or my body had such a good nights rest that I was able to actually get up and drive and leave the house, to go take a look at the Aladdin The New Stage Musical at the Meralco Theater.



I've always been fascinated with theater productions. Theater has always been the one thing I wish I could be a part of, again. I remember the adrenaline of having to go through everything from stage design, props, to costume, the makeup, the actors, to lights and music and nothing compares to the feeling of seeing it come alive all at once.

I've always fallen in love with stage production especially with the lights. I've always been fascinated by dancing lights and how it creates more meaning, depth and reality into a scene. A wrong lighting could potentially ruin everything. This is what I liked best about the play though, the production was a feast for the eyes. The lights were gorgeous, the sets were also drop dead. Its amazing how they were able to re-create the palace, the street market and yes, even the flying carpet. I could just imagine, jaws dropped when this was happening on stage. I swear, the kid in me was extra giddy, alive and kicking!




This musical has a totally new approach to the story. It has comic reliefs here and there which tied seamlessly to the story itself. It wasn't trying too hard, it was put in places and it wasn't over killed. It was really a joy to watch, the costume, music and set gives off the 'Arabian nights' vibe that the story really asks for.

I never really thought that this story was actually the best story among all of the Disney Princess. Aladdin have these subtle morals injected here and there that both kids and adults could learn from. Its lessons are important in living our own happily ever after.

Kryzha Veron :)



TO THE SLOWEST PERSON TO GET ALL THE JOKES, ALL THE TIME, 
TO THE PERSON THAT GETS 'BULLIED' EVERY TIME AND YET LOVES US STILL
TO ONE OF THE MOST TALENTED PEOPLE THERE IS IN THIS WORLD
and
TO ONE OF MY FAVORITE GIRLS IN THE WHOLE OF YFC AND THE WORLD...





Happy birthday Zha! :) May this year be a year of love, hope, happiness and success for you! :)

Though we have not seen in each other in months and I've been out of the loop in your life, know that I am proud (proudest at that) of the person that you're slowly becoming to be. Always remember what I said before 'stop comparing yourself to me (or in this case, to other people), and just be YOU'; because, you, no matter how slow and lost and corny you are, you are awesome and great in your own way. You are special like that. :)

 I love you, Zha. I'll always be here for you, whether it be your needs for MTQ or for anything in the world, really. Continue being passionate with what you do, sharing God's greatness in your life to other people and be a blessing to everyone you are with, because you are.

Happy birthday, again! :) I better see you soon woman. We have a lot to catch up on. :)
Love you to the end of time, Catapia.

I really wish that I could write something of substance and life more here but I can't write about life because, I haven't been living it. When will I ever get the chance to anyway? Oh, the world of the unknown.

A 'big girl' kind of night for me! First time that I went out at night without my sister! HAHA.

Missed these bunch of people from college. Last time I've seen them was graduation. OA sa tagal please.

Indeed, some things never change, will always be grateful to have met them! Here's to getting old(er) together! :)
