the rule of four...
Finished reading The Rule of Four today. Such a splendid work for two authors in their 20's, getting on the ranks with dan brown in terms of solving ancient mysteries and commendable knowledge of their work, and paulo coelho in style and principle. The authors displayed broad facts on literature, art, music, history, and sciences that ultimately caught my interest. The riddles were also good. The setting's not as rich as brown's famous sights in rome, revolving merely around princeton university, yet it never failed to take me there with the characters in the story. It was never as poetic as coelho's novels, yet the touch of poetry's there, expressed in more modern and more vivid ways. And most especially, i love the portrayal of friendship. It inspires me to be the friend we all would like our friends to be.
Wonder if i could do that.
My summer vacation's been extended for a week. If it could still be called summer - it's starting to get wet. I'm beginning to dread going back to manila more and more each day. No matter how many times my father tells me not to panic over this influenza a(h1/n1), as dr. Nicolas might name it without difficulty, i can't help but do exactly so.
I spent my afternoon poring over this teenage pocketbook i found lingering in the house coz i can somehow relate to the main character. College student girl who's always been study-focused's suddenly tempted to enter into a relationship. She gave up to the temptation, convincing herself that she can handle both responsibility and relationship. But aren't they the same thing? Commitment's just another responsibility. And the more responsibilities we have, the less time we give to each one.
Faced with the same situation, i wonder how i would react.
It's actually the very same situation i keep asking god not to put me into.
