Lumayo ka nga sa akin! A Bob Ong book review!

“Ate ano yang binabasa mo pocketbook?”—-BLASTED!

Bob Ong’s 9th installment. 

Hindi ko pa talaga nababasa yung last book: “Ang mga kaibigan ni Mama Susan.” Pero nung nakita ko to sa website ng visprint http://visprintpub.blogspot.com/ last year, gusto ko na agad siyang basahin. Namiss ko ang walang kupas na padali ni Bob Ong sa mga katha nya. Dito iisang mensahe lang ang pinahahayag ng manunulat patungkol sa pattern ng mga pelikulang Pilipino. Kung hindi remake ng isang old movie (mapa-foreign movie man o Pinoy) ang palabas, e sumusunod ito sa pattern ng mga pelikula(i.e, magkakapalit-palit ng babies, palpak at tapos na ang bakbakan sa ka dumating ang mga pulis. me ending na laging me mamamatay, ikakasal o manganganak,”.) O kadalasan dinadaan nalang sa special effects at malalaking pelikula na may malalaking artista ang napepremiere, madalas wala namang kwenta. At me palagiang tradisyon na sequels sa bawat pelikula, pero kadalasan halos wala namang laman ang pelikula. Nakaka-loko lang isipin pero lagi naman itong tinatangkilik ng mga masa. Puro pa “feel good” ang patok sa karamihan kasi nga Pilipino, mas gusto happy endings na may sasayaaw nga sa beach kunwa magkakabati na ang Bida at Kontrabida, parang wala lang. 

Tulad na lang sa cover ng libro, catchy. Agaw mata at gusto mo agad siyang basahin. Sa ganito na dinadaan ngayon ang pelikulang ilalabas, kaya parang me ipinahiiiwatig din si Bob Ong sa cover pa lang. 3 movies, stories & genre at nasa script form. Nagulat lang ako binanggit nya yung Tumblr dito, me Tumblr kaya sya?

• EBA: Kaya asiwa ako sa mga “book lovers.” Feeling laging matalino. Pauulanan ka ng mga pamagat ng libro at pangalan ng author na sila lang ang nakakakilala para ipamukha sa ‘yong ang galing-galing nila. Pakiramdam mo tuloy sobrang bobo mo na.
• DIEGO: Hindi naman siguro lahat. Ako, ang hinahangaan kong tao na mahilig sa libro e yung may matutunan ka pag kausap mo, yung makikita mong naging marunong at mabuti siyang tao dahil sa pagbabasa niya ng mga libro.

BORAWAN (Boracay+Palawan), Hot summer cause we're Cool like that

Actually, this was last year,  around summer season of April.  As a graduation treat for me & my bro, Mom decided to just celebrate it at this concealed piece of paradise with a heck of family and asked to drag some best friends along. Mom asked to bring bunch of friends and "literally" I only bring a hand bunch of friends. Same to my brother, he bought 3 of his "girl" friends (heck) 

me with "bunch of my friends"

My brother with his "bunch" of girl-friends :P

Stunned? they said that this heaven is named after the combination of 2 (Boracay+Palawan) coz of the white powdery sands of boracay & superb stone formations same to Palawan. So if you got chance to drop by, it’s a double treat. I adore the stone formations, you could even climb in every and have a rock climbing! Speaking, when we hit there, a group of rock climbers I think from Manila or urban place have their trips in here.  Plus You can enjoy your nonstop trip around the island. And if you wanna spend the overnight, just prepare a tent camp n’ a bonfire will do the rest of the night. (which is the thing that we didn’t do, it’s another fee for the boat rent)

Good basket place of biodiversity

Random shot, I like it like there's something.

Well technically i ditched review again (God knows girls just wanna have fun) and basically why summer is passing… TO HAVE FUN DUH! there’s nothing frolicking under the sun with the most awesome people, let’s just have fun this summer shall we?

Here's a "vaginey" looking cave hole where when you enter, you'll get out to the other end of a cave hole. Quite scary coz it's dark so bring your flash lights!

Traveling guide: ( Level: easy)

• From Manila, Ride Jac liner bus ( I mostly prefer because of wifi service) travel to Lucena. The bus will fetch you down @ SM City Lucena or Grand Central terminal.  Cost: 235 php. Travel time: max of 3 hrs
• When you arrived at SM City Lucena, there's a van and a jeepney going to Padre Burgos. And if you by got into Grand Central Terminal, there's a jeepney and an ordinary fare bus trip to Padre Burgos/ Unisan. Cost: 35-50 php. Travel time: 1 hr
• Get off at QCRB bank ( it's really shut down long time ago, just ask the conductor to drop you there on the waiting shed.)
• Ride a tricycle to Aplaya, tell the driver you're going to Borawan, they automatically know where to drop you off.
• Ask the locals on where to rent a boat. Then ask for a good price, and they can take you to island hopping as per request. 

Oh and by that, My dad's from Padre Burgos so we're already accustomed and familiar in the place. If you wish to enjoy the place, try to get there as early, because there are no resorts established yet and if you wish to stay, there's a resort : "the Tamarind Tree" or "Villa Anita." But if you prefer to stay there, just as I said bring a tent and build a campfire and enjoy some star gazing!
