Love a girl who writes...


LOVE A GIRL WHO WRITES
Love a girl who spends her time trying to look for words to tell you how she feels. She’ll try to flip the pages of a dictionary, or even search the web, sometimes go through a few pages of a book. Then end up writing stuff she didn’t find there, all because her heart really knew what she was supposed to say. Love a girl who sits down with a pen and paper, trying to scribble out a few lines of a poem for you. She’ll even stay up late at night, just because she couldn’t sleep without being able to have put into words what she really feels about you. She’ll strike out all wrong words, all the wrong ideas, because she believes you deserve perfection.
Buy her a piece of notebook. Or better yet a beautiful journal. She will fill it with random thoughts. Random thoughts of you.

Love a girl who would try to write a song for you. She doesn’t care if you will hear her song, or the words, or what she wants to tell you. She just wants to put into words her sentiments about you. She doesn’t need any compliment about what she wrote. Because she knows she did it out of love.
Read her works without her telling you. She’ll be very thrilled. Appreciate every single work she did, she’ll love you more for it. Try to tell her what else to write, give her more ideas, motivate her to continue her passion. She’ll never let you go.
Love a girl who writes. She’ll write every sweet thing you said, and keep it in a notebook. She’ll even list down things she likes about you, the things you like, and the things she wishes you would do together. You may fall apart, but the words she wrote for you are forever. Time won’t erase it. Unlike the feelings you once had.
Love a girl who writes. Even a girl who blogs. She’ll spends hours typing, and trying to think of what to tell you without even mentioning your name. She knows it’s for you from the moment she typed the first letter, until she clicks on “Post.” She’ll gladly waste her time surfing the internet for a post, a photo or the lyrics of a song. She might even create typographic with thoughts about you, and the possibility of you two. All because she wants to capture all her thoughts. And all that’s in her blog, is an outpour of emotions, of words unsaid to you, but she would like the whole world to know. All because she loves you.
Believe me, she’ll even create a blog for you. Posting letters for you, pictures of you, and what she feels about you. Whether it be public or private
Usually girls who write, well, they are not so hard to please. Just a stroll in the park would do, or a simple picnic. Try to surprise her once in a while though, write her a short note of how amazing you think she is. Better yet give her a personalized and handwritten card. She’ll appreciate your effort. Give her gifts with cards in it, she’ll keep it until the end. All because everything you’ve handwritten, matters so much more.
In the middle of class, or a very boring day, she’ll find herself scribbling down your name, drawing little hearts around it. She’ll randomly think of you at any time of the day. And write down whatever she thinks will be worth reading. Probably a quote, a two paragraph essay, or even a short poem. She’ll write and doodle, and scribble and pen something, maybe not all of it will be about love, or about you. But most of it will be.
It isn’t easy, but love a girl who writes. It may take her hours, and hours to tell you how she really feels you. It may take her minutes to reply to your message, or your chat, but it’s just because she is trying to carefully choose her words, and let you know that you deserve the best words, because you are the best for her. Once her mind has decided that she likes or loves you, then every single word from her, will be probably about you.
She will spend her money on books, pens and papers. Let her. She’s doing it to express herself better.
She’ll write on a piece of paper, even a table napkin, just to remember that day and what her thoughts were about you. She’ll either keep it in her wallet, or tell you to keep it. All because she wants to remember that day.
Unexpectedly, you’ll find yourself wanting to write, even a little something for her. That’s how powerful her words are. Her writings will move you, will change you and at the same time, will make you love her more.
The thing about a girl who writes is, whatever happens, she will write. And when she puts it on paper, or up on the internet, that memory of you will be forever. Whatever happens between the two of you, the memory will live on. Because at that moment of her life, she put it into words. And once she put it into words, she will never forget it.
When she’s writing something, do not disturb her. She wants to concentrate. Because once all her thoughts have been organized, it will be easy to distract her. And don’t even think about doing it, because she’ll get mad at you. Let her drown herself with her emotions. The result will be a masterpiece.
If you find a girl who loves to write, never let her go. She’ll spend her whole lifetime writing about you, trying to surprise you once in a while. Even sweeping you of your feet, even if you’re the guy. She might even write a book about you, and how your love has lasted. You will be happy with her, you will smile at every word she writes. She will think of the most awesome way to say something to you, and you’ll never find her boring. She will come up with something crazy, all because she believes that although words remain to be her best friend, still actions speak louder than them. Every day is a chance for her to prove how much she loves you.
Love a girl who writes. Because words are timeless. And her love is, too.

Tuesday Thoughts




*Sighhhhh* Im getting a little sentimental (again) but i guess it's okay. We all do get that kind of feeling sometimes, dont we?
Well, this past hours i've been thinking a lot.. And most of my thoughts are circled around people. (certain people in my life) and how things has changed for me, for them and for all of us. It's really weird. I mean everyday we dont really notice things are slowly changing, and yet when we looked back and really really try to LOOKED at it, everything are somehow different. Time had changed, so as the people, and our feelings too. And it's sad that there is nothing we can do about it..
I really find it so sad and (weird) how people can be so close at one moment, then strangers the next.

Well,I dont know if what im saying makes any sense. It's just about my thoughts today---Tuesday.

out now!!! :)

After waiting for 5 months, my book finally came out yesterday! YEY AT LAST!!! It's my 4th released book--sequel ito ng 3rd book which is Photographs and Memories. Im really excited for this one. Hope you could grab a copy!!!


Teaser:

The Other Half Of My Heart
                                                          (Released date: May 08, 2012)

Hindi na niya kailangang marinig mula rito ang mga salitang inaasam niya dahil sa bawat paggalaw ng mga labi nito sa mga labi niya, nasisiguro niyang mahal na rin siya nito.

Nagwakas ang easy-go-lucky attitude ni Lara at ang kanyang hilig sa nightlife nang ianunsiyo ng mga magulang niya na palugi na ang negosyo nila sa Amerika. Napilitan siyang magtrabaho sa taong pinakiusapan ng mga magulang niya para makatulong siya sa problemang pinansiyal ng pamilya niya. Hindi niya inasahan na si Julian pala ang magiging boss niya—ang ultimate crush niya noong twelve years old siya na nang snub sa kanya.
 

Kahit ramdam niya ang pagpapahirap nito sa kanya sa trabaho, patutunayan niya na hindi siya quitter at kaya niyang magseryoso sa buhay. Determinado siyang ipakita rito na hindi na siya ang dating Lara na spoiled brat, at higit sa lahat, patay na patay rito noon. Ngunit hindi niya napanindigan ang huli dahil nang makasama niya ito, isang ngiti pa lang nito ay lusaw na ang inis niya rito hanggang sa hulog na hulog na ang loob niya rito.
 

Hindi naglaon ay nagbago na ang trato nito sa kanya. Hindi man nito sabihin, ramdam niya na may gusto na rin ito sa kanya. Ngunit hindi yata nakatakdang maging maligaya siya sa piling nito—dahil isang lihim ang natuklasan niya na nakapagpabago sa pagtingin niya rito.

Story Behind the Story:

As i've mentioned, this one is the sequel of my 3rd book. Story ni Julian. Obviously hindi happy ending ang naging story nila ni Liz sa Photographs and Memories so i had to create another plot for him. (which is the hardest part for me!) 
Julian's personality was more on the serious side. He's workaholic, business-minded and very competitive. Naisip ko na mas exciting ang kwento kung ang ka-partner nya ay yung total opposite nya--someone like Lara, childish, bratty at pasaway! Isipin mo pa lang kung papano sila magkakagustuhan sasakit na ang ulo mo di ba? =)
Anyway, I really had fun writing their story. I think this is very light compared to my other books, though i must admit nahirapan rin ako sa ilang dialogue. Maraming kulitan scene dito sina Lara at Julian at dun ako pinaka nahirapan. Kulang pa talaga ako sa sense of humor! hehehe =) But im so glad that i was able to do it. Lara had turned out to be one of my most favorite heroine. I just find her cute. And fierce. 
I dont wanna give anymore spoilers, syempre mas okay kung mababasa nyo na lang di ba?? :P

The girl with the velvet voice.

As you all know, im a big fan of the 1970's. Some of you may find that weird coz im only 24 years old now and I wasnt even born in that generation but for some weird reasons, I feel like im a seventy's kid warped into this present time. LOL! Seriously, I dont exactly know why everything back in that era is so appealing to me. I  guess number 1 reason is the music. It's quite different at that time. Everything was just so wonderful and tender and raw and nothing like what we have on the radio now.
Anyway, a lot of my favorite musical artist came in the 1970s--ONJ, Carole King, Linda Ronstadt and so on.. But one singer stands out for me and she's the girl with a voice like velvet-- KAREN CARPENTER.

I know. Most of you know her as the anorexic lady, the singer who starved herself to death. It is true that she was Anorexic. It's sad and tragic but let's not elaborate that. It happened years and years ago and since discussing that wont bring her back, I wont bother. What i wanted to talk about is her music, her voice and her passion because up to now, it was all still alive.

For starters, did you know that Karen was an excellent drummer? Yes! That is so true. How cool is that?!  I mean it's very unusual for a girl to play drums (especially during those times) but she do play drums and she's a bad-ass drummer!

here's a little sneak peak of her excellent drumming skills:

Her singing is another story. That voice.That rich alto tone of her voice. The rawness and the clarity. She possessed that epic, hair raising voice that sounded like no other. There's no other singer who does it like she does it. (or if ever there was, she is simply trying to sound like her.)
Even her speaking voice carries a mystique.

Here's one of my favorite song from her:


Such a shame we will never hear that voice again LIVE. :((((((

All she had left us was her wonderful music, which i'd like to believe is enough.--Enough to keep her legacy  alive.

“We came out right in the middle of the hard-rock period... it was hard-rock everywhere! But we were ready to make our music, you know? And it was such a turnaround, I guess it caught people by surprise.”
--
“It's kinda nice to be remembered by your peers and your fans, because you can achieve a lot of success and be a creep too! But we try to be nice, just normal people.”
--
“I enjoy money. Not enough people in this world are happy. I'm determined to be contented, and having plenty of money from working makes it easier for me.”

--Karen Anne Carpenter (March 2, 1950 – February 4, 1983)
