Ang aking personal Book Review


Narito ang aking personal na punto sa huling 2 libro aking nabasa









Bakit baliktad magbasa ng libro ang mga Pilipino ni Bob Ong isang libro na gawa pa noong 2001 subalit ngayon ko lang naibigang basahin marahil na taon na lang din na basahin ko ito ngayon sa kasalukuyang estado ng bansa. Napakaraming punto ng buhay ng mga Filipino at ng bansang Pilipinas ang nabanggit dito merong nakakatuwa, nakakabalik tanaw, nakakangiti, nakakainis, nakakaiyak at halos lahat na ata ng emosyon, hindi naman sa pagiging eksaherada.

sa aking palagay sa lahat ng libro ni Bob Ong na aking nabasa ito ang may pinakamakabuluhan, sa una parang isang ordinaryong babasahin lamang subalit sa bawat pagpihit ng pahina ay palalim palalim ang nagiging paksa at sapol na sapol nito ang kaloob looban ng ating mahal na Pilipinas mula sa kagandahan hanggang sa kapangitan nito, mula sa nakakamangha anyo hanggang sa nakakasulasok nitong diskripsyon mula sa pananaw ng mga kapwa Pilipino at maging mga dayuhan.

Ito ang isa sa mga paborito kong parte (makikita sa bandang dulo na ng libro)
Tanong: Magbigay ka ng 12 na dahilan kung bakit magandang manirahan sa Pilipinas , kung bakit dapat tayong manatili rito?
Maraming mga sagot ang ibinahagi, maraming dahilang nabanggit.. subalit sa isang simpleng sagot dito tinapos ang tanong... Pilipino ako, sapat nang dahilan 'yon para mahalin ko ang Pilipinas.

Sa pagtatapos kong basahin ang librong ito, tila nilibot ako nito sa nakaraan at ibinalik sa ngayon na mas may malawak na kaalaman at malalim na kaisipan para sa aking kapwa, aking kapaligiran, higit sa lahat pagmamalasakit at pagmamahal sa ating bayan. Ngunit higit sa pagbabasa ng librong ito ang tanong.. ano ang magagawa ko, ang magagawa mo, ang magagawa natin?














INFERNO by Dan Brown ...after reading this book I had a serious thought about over population which is somehow is really scary in many ways (whether in reality or fiction), it can threaten the humankind relationship and how we live, hope we could find ways to balance things out. And also the way how Brown described Manila in this book is sad but its the truth, hence, rather than being insulted we should just use this as a challenge and change how they see Manila. I can't wait to see this in movie I want to see if what I've read & imagined will be the same in movie screen. 








Sa pagbabasa ako ay nalilibang ang aking katauhan ay tila dinadala ng kwento kung saan, ang imahinasyon ay gumagana sumasabay sa galaw ng bawat tauhan. Naway ang pagbabasa ay inyo ring makahiligan at nang inyong kaisipan ay mapuna ng kaalaman.







Gubat ni William Pomeroy at Walang di Makaraos ni Eros Atalia... sunod sa linya



Maligayang pagbabasa.

WORLD VISION RUN 2013

Last June 23, 2013 Sunday, normally by his time I am at the top of the mountain with co-hikers and friends but during that week I was out of the mountain trail and I'm on the race track/RUN. For the second time I was able to join the WORLD VISION RUN 2013 in the benefits of WV's sponsored children. This was my 2nd WV run, its a run for cause.. to sponsor and give chance to our indigent students to be able to go to school and to make sure that they'll be able to finish it.  It was my first time to run a 10k, I was only running 3k before then I jumped to 10K drastically....it was tiring but for sure fulling thankfully I finished the race/run strong. 

I started the race bad because when I arrived it was already gun start so I was in hurry to deposit my bag at the baggage counter for me to be able to meet up with other 10k runners. Due to the event I was not able to do warm and I sprint so fast to catch up with the rest of the group, so even before I ran the 1st K my feet is already freaking tired I thought I'll going to writhe, fortunately not I was able to make it. Thankfully with great determination and  perseverance I was able to catch up with other 10k runners and passed some of them... And I've made it to the finish line with the time race of.... 1:27:25... eheheh 






With the Mission of Helping more Filipino Children, more importantly that even though we the runners ran are tired but at the end of the finish line we knew that we were able to help. Hence, if running will let me help others even in small way then let's run more not only with WORLD VISION but probably with other RUN FOR A CAUSE as well. 

Running alone have good and bad sides (which I did by the way), bad in a way that you don't have friends to join you in your journey, or to laugh with you while on the trail or to be your buddy/watch out in case of accident (but good thing there are ambulance). The good side thought is that running alone is you have the control of your phase, you don't have to worry of leaving someone behind, you are focus  and .. and ... and.. well I just that's it... eheheheh. 

Right now I'm getting addictive to this activity and since I had met my goal to run 10k, I might run 21k next time but before that I have to prepare for it, I don't want to tumble down or sprain my ankle coz I'm not prepared and more importantly I wanna make sure that I'll going to finish what I've started.  

Running is so much fun specially if you know the reason you are running and its for a good cause... However at the end of the race I say PAHINGE NG SALON PAAAAAAASS!!!!! Eh este til the next run care to join... eheheh c",) — at World Vision Run 2013, BGC 9th Ave 26th St.
