Book-to-movie adaptations is undeniable part of the pop culture right now. An entire book translated into a single screenplay (or a series of screenplays) that was perhaps not just a culture norm of entertainment, but a marketing tool to a merchandise is so evident that people usually generates array of feedbacks regarding to it.

At some point in my life, I admire the people who have the guts to say such poetic lines in such a way that it appears like an old school monologue—just minus the extra motions such as theatrics.

And though I had no chance to do such spoken word poetry by such saying words with such eloquence, I can only utter words in writing. (Plus aside from the fact that I have a stage freight and a low self-esteem; something that serves as a hindrance for one to do public speaking.)

This piece is all about a 'secret admission' over someone else; it's like you want to make porma on her but you're resisting to do so as if she was—as well as the feelings of infatuation, lust, and even love—is a hindrance. Here it goes:

Here’s something to kickstart August as the Philippines’ National Language Month, a collaboration of different art forms that will surely give you a refreshing—and reawakening taste to the culture of our country, and this is called The SiKuna Festival. 

"Save Literature" Your Face!

Nakakaloka lang.

Save literature?! 

Weh? Seryoso kayo d’yan?

Sa panahon ngayon na dumarami ang mga manunulat at mga nalilimbag na libro, "save literature" pa rin ang panawagan niyo?

Anong kagulahan ito ha?

The Rise of the Wattpad Stories?!

(Sa panahon na isinusulat ko ito ay kasalukuyang nagaganap ang Manila International Book Fair, ang pinakamalaking pagtitipon-tipon ng mga mahihilig sa libro sa SMX Convention Center sa Pasay City. Kaso kahit may libre akong access pass ay hindi natuloy ang inyong lingkod dala ng mga pangyayaring dala ng bagyong Mario)

Sa panahon ngayon, hindi na makakaila ang mga tulad nila. Dinaig pa nga yata nilaang Precious Hearts Romances sa paggagwa ng mga libro.

Kung gusto mo maging sikat, hindi mo kailangang umakot na para bang tanga sa mga palabas. Ang kailangan mo lang ay malawakang bokabularyo, malawak na imahinasyon, at kompuyter. Oo, love story ang tinutukoy ko, at ang Wattpad ang pinakavenue ng lahat.

Book Review: The Best of This Is A Crazy Planets Book 2

9/30/2013 3:32:53 PM

So… the planets have gone crazy again, eh?

One hell-sick-noisemaker in the name of Lourd de Veyra has a lot more to tell, and it’s all in his second book – the book 2 of This Is A Crazy Planets (With no pun intended, but the last word was spelled right even if you argue on the grammatical structure of the entire title).

This Is A Crazy Planets is the Radioactive Sago Project frontman-slash-TV5 personality‘s blog section at the lifestyle website SPOT.ph; and selected articles from the said blog site (dated from 2011-2013) were the main content of his second book: From foodie to selfie; from offending religious feelings, to the “baby” informal settlers; from knockout losses to Palito and Dolphy’s death; from all the rants-against-the-stupidities-of-our-society to his cute puppy dogs.

Inside The Pages: Ramon Bautista’s "Bakit Hindi Ka Crush Ng Crush Mo?"

Isa sa mga bagong libro na panay magkahalong komikal at realidad ang tema ay ang isang babasahin na may kinalaman sa… well, payo sa buhay lalo na sa mga suliranin sa pag-ibig. Ang akda ni Ramon Bautista na Bakit Hindi Ka Crush Ng Crush Mo?

Well, matanong talaga ang librong ito. As in maraming tanong at sagot ang tinalakay dito mula sa kung bakit hindi ka crush ng crush mo (oo, yung eksaktong pamagat mismo); kung paano mo sasabihin sa magulang mo na bagsak ka sa studies mo; bakit ayaw na ayaw ni Monra ang LDR o kung tawagin ay Long Distance Relationship; kung bakit ka dapat maging proud kahit NBSB (o No Boyfriend Since Birth) ka; paano magmumove on sa mga sitwasyon na may nahuli ka na may ka-kerngkeng siya na iba o kahit ultimo ang na-friendzone ka; at kung anu-ano pa.

Ang halos lahat ng nilalaman ng librong “Bakit Hindi Ka Crush Ng Crush Mo?” ay ang mga bagay-bagay na nakapaloob sa formspring account ni Ramon Bautista mismo. Tanong ng kung sinu-sino, sinasagot niya sa paraan na alam niya, ke may natutunan ang sinumang magbabasa niyan o katuwaan lamang.

Dito mo rin makikita ang komprehensibong kahulugan ng mga terminong ginagamit ni RB sa kanyang palabas sa internet na “Tales From The Friend Zone.” Kung ano ang mga pananaw niya na nais ilahad sa sinumang magbabasa ng librong ito.

Maliban pa diyan ay may notebook pa ito na libre.
