mitch albom, a life guru

Erik bought a book for me the other day. I was really happy that it was Mitch Albom's For One More Day. I effin' love his works. He's like a life guru. I don't know, sobrang nakakarelate talaga ako sa mga sinusulat niya. Napapenetrate talaga niya ung life ko. I'm halfway done with it na, busy busy-han ako kaya hindi ko maderecho yung pagbasa. Pero so far, sooooo good!

I really love Mitch Albom's works. I'm a sucker for his books.

"If you had the chance, just one chance, to go back
and fix what you did wrong in life, would you take it?
And if you did, would you big enough to stand it?"
-- James McBride's Praise for For One More Day

missin' slide-up phones =)

It has been my habit to check my phone right after I wake up. And because I've been using a slide-up phone for a long while - Nokia 5300 and then Nokia 6288, once in awhile, I still find myself sliding my thumb on my phone, like how you'd slide a slide-up phone to uncover the keypad. After a long while, it happened again this morning and my mom saw it. Her reaction? She didn't say anything but I can easily read "Huh?" on her face. This may be a little(?) shallow but I think I miss using slide-up phones. I've always thought of it as cool and stylish and I can't remember what made me decide to give up my N6288 in exchange for a N5310. My bad, I guess.

A simple example of giving up something you've always liked only to regret and miss it after it's gone. Life, oh life.
