para kay b.
The image above is the book cover for the novel Para Kay B, written by award-winning scriptwriter Ricky Lee (Himala, Anak etc.). His first novel, which deals with the universal theme love, is written very unconventionally, as he opts to use colloquialism and contemporary themes in his finely-crafted book, rather than traditional verbosity and imagery.
I read his book when Jana brought it to school. Kay Kuya JK ito. Na-intrigue ako sa cover--bakit may lalaking nahuhulog sa sky? and the title as well. And when you know that it is written by a literary genius such as Ricky Lee, you know you won't be disappointed. Sure, it is a little unorthodox--he refrains from using quotations in dialogues and all, plus the content itself--he ventures into odd and even taboo forms of love such as same sex and incest...but that's what makes it all the more enticing. Also, he presents us with an interesting theory, and I quote, "Me quota sa pag-ibig. Out of 5 tao na umiibig, isa lang ang nagiging masaya." Also, the characters are very real, and not one-dimensional, very relatable to and sometimes I even feel that they do exist because of the complexity in their distinct personalities.
Pwede itong one seating na read. But it took me two days to finish this because I was reading it in between classes (and even during...ssshh :)) ) I guess you guys should check it out if you want a book that deals with love in its entirety sans the sappy melodrama.
Oooookay. Haha. :D I like my new layout...don't you? :)) But there is one sliiight problem--I can't view the comments. :| and vice-versa, I mean, I don't know how people could comment back on my blog. Sabagay, not a lot of people comment, but I mean, what if they have something to say diba? I love comments, even if there aren't a lot. :)) Sometimes they're a good venue to tease friends in the blogosphere. :P So what do you think, should I change my layout and find something that accommodates comments, or let this be? Ohyeah. You can't comment. =))
I'm supposed to be in school now...it's like 12:30 PM here. Oh no worries, I'll be back. I just had to take care of some...stuff =)) (I don't cut class! *defensive*) okay, maybe I did. Once, two years ago. But that was last period, pshh. *rolls eyes* :)) You haven't been through high school if you haven't cut class (even accidentally). :P
Also, I already put titles on the top of my posts because my layouts can't also include titles...I like titles. :| haha, nagreklamo ba? =))
