Article: You Should Date A Girl Who Reads

"You should date a girl who reads.
Date a girl who reads. Date a girl who spends her money on books instead of clothes, who has problems with closet space because she has too many books. Date a girl who has a list of books she wants to read, who has had a library card since she was twelve.

Find a girl who reads. You’ll know that she does because she will always have an unread book in her bag. She’s the one lovingly looking over the shelves in the bookstore, the one who quietly cries out when she has found the book she wants. You see that weird chick sniffing the pages of an old book in a secondhand book shop? That’s the reader. They can never resist smelling the pages, especially when they are yellow and worn.

She’s the girl reading while waiting in that coffee shop down the street. If you take a peek at her mug, the non-dairy creamer is floating on top because she’s kind of engrossed already. Lost in a world of the author’s making. Sit down. She might give you a glare, as most girls who read do not like to be interrupted. Ask her if she likes the book.

Buy her another cup of coffee.

Bubble Thought #6: Books are like real-life Best Friends

"The greatest gift is the passion for reading. It is cheap, it consoles, it distracts, it excites, it gives you knowledge of the world and experience of a wide kind."

I've been a full-pledged bookworm ever since grade school. I started reading pocketbooks when I was in third grade; then started collecting Archie comics by then. When I was in sixth grade, I fell in love with Nancy Drew and started collecting her mystery novels. 

I always make time to read every summer vacations, at least two to three books and hate it when I finished one.

Today, most of my time are spent by reading novels. Left and right they are there. I read on paperbacks and before I go to sleep I read ebooks to help me fall asleep. I just can't resist the urge of reading for they help me discover the world I've never been to. 

Look how my to-read books are piling up. I'm currently reading Inkheart and a hundred and fifty pages away to the last chapter. It's actually a children's book but I love it.

"Nothing can do what a book can do. Lifts you out of your life to a whole new world, whole new perspective. A book is like a dream you're borrowing from a friend."

Bubble Thought #5: June and July, Where have you been?

These past two months have gone by a swift. I can't barely contain everything that happened for the past few weeks. Everything is overwhelming.

Last June, I applied for a job, took my qualifying exam, was called for an interview with the nursing supervisor, scheduled for my final interview with the HR and given instructions for my medical exam.

July: After my physical exam, I was scheduled for my orientation and after two days I started my orientee week in ER. I had a productive week in emergency room and the staff gave me a grade-above my expectation-for my first week.

On my second week, I was transferred at OR. Almost everyone is shocked when they've discovered that an orientee was placed at OR. I don't know if it was a complement or something that would give me pressure. The staff were kind enough to teach me things I need to learn.

I was on my third week at OR and I know I had so much to learn. Last Thursday, I was assigned to be a second scrub at a ceasarian operation. Somehow, everything went well. So far.

And this past week, I was supposed to be in Bohol with my friends. I gave up that trip because of my soon-to-be-career as an OR nurse.

Everything happened so fast. I am still in awe at what was happening. I barely had time to blog and read posts from bloggers I follow.

Book Review: The Hunger Games

Yes, I can now officially say "May the odds be ever in your favor!"
It takes a whole lot of convincing to finally give up and read this.
Thanks to my friends, Faye and Bryan, for giving me a copy of The Hunger Games trilogy.
Thanks to my cousin, Nica, who never gave up asking me to read this.
I finished reading all three books in less than a week. It's all worth it! Now, I love THG just like how I love Harry Potter.
*i might divulge anything that might spoil those people who haven't read the book*


Book 1: The Hunger Games
Peeta Mellark!!! I love him!! This book gave me smiles and brought me bucket of tears. Mostly, Peeta was the one who gave me smiles and that famous cave scenes. I fell in love how he admit to everyone during his interview about the girl he's inlove with. "because... she came with me." How, he knows everything about Katniss ever since that bread encounter. I cried when Peeta and Katniss left District 12 to be a tributes at the Hunger Games; I cried when Rue died and I cried at the ending. It was a heartnreaking moment. PEETAAAA!!!
