logged on to my blogger account yesterday. stared at the laptop screen for fifteen minutes, trying to absorb the mood to write from god knows where but ended up clicking the X button on the top right corner of my browser window. my brain was awfully dry last night. not a single drop of brain juice. this is my second attempt at it. i hope i succeed this time. inhale. exhale. here goes.
made myself a promise to set aside forty bucks each month to buy a book. kinda like a treat for myself, from well.. myself. i am serious about the whole having-a-gigantic-bookshelf-full-of-nothing-but-books-by-the-time-i-am-seventy thing. see my face? *muka serious*
so. the first book that i bought was "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" by Stephen Chbosky. The second sentence on the front cover says "now a major motion picture". i've been called poyo and tah pape for this but i prefer reading the book compared to watching the movie. why? i would say my imagination is pretty limited when it comes to certain things. i find reading being the best way for me to play around with my imagination. how the characters look like, how they do things, what they wear, their tone of voice, all the feelings involved, theories of why things in the story happen. i get it all worked up in my head as i read. so there.
fyi, i DID not buy this book because ezra miller on the cover. i bought it because my best friend gave the movie a good review and i thought i would check the book out. two words to summarize this book: light reading. it's pretty straight forward. tells the tale of a typical american high school freshman named Charlie who deals with struggles of being a teenager. sex, drugs, alcohol, love, studies, siblings, music, freedom, friendship. usually hollywood focuses on the more popular side of high school, cheerleaders, jocks, athletes. this book sheds some light on the other side of town, the much less popular crowd, the sensitive wallflower.
i hate the word lazy. i'm not gonna say i'm lazy to write some more. i'm sleepy. ok enough. kroih. roger and out.
