TH1RTEEN R3ASONS WHY by Jay Asher

www.romenews-tribune.com 
Hannah Baker committed suicide. Everyone knows about the pill overdose that took her frail life away. But not everyone knew the reason behind her irrational action. And Clay Jensen, is lucky enough (unlucky I suppose) to discover the reasons and events that led Hannah to take her dear life.

One fateful morning Clay discovers a package sitting on their doorstep. He then opens the package and sees its contents: seven cassette tapes recorded by Hannah Baker herself. Curiosity took over the guy and played the first tape from the box. From that moment Clay Jensen will soon discover the people responsible for Hannah’s death which includes his involvement in the girl’s untimely demise.

From one simple misunderstanding leading to another untoward incident which eventually led Hannah to succumb the inevitable snowball effect.

TRW is a moving and compelling book that will leave you reevaluating the things you’ve done in the past. It will definitely change your life, if not straighten the path you’ve already taken.

I learned that a simple act of kindness can have a huge impact to someone and sadly a simple misconception can shatter one’s life.

"No one knows for certain how much impact they have on the lives of other people."

Why YOU should apply for a Mercury Drug Suki card NOW!

I am not a fan of discount cards, BEFORE. I find these things space eaters in my wallet (where eventually there is a lot of free space for now). Whenever the cashier asks me for any discount card I would just say I don’t have anything to show. And when the middle-aged cashier suggests I apply for one because the queue is not long and literally she has all the time in the world to answer my questions and whatnot the skeptic in me kindly declines the offer and pays mypurchase.
In retrospect, I believe I applied for an SM advantage card years ago and forgot to replace the temporary card given to me in exchange for the original one. And that’s it. That’s how far my fancying for discount cards will take me.
But now a change in heart happened. I now love discount cards! And I’m planning to apply and collect as many cards as I could possibly own.
Why? Because times are difficult these days. The prices of commodities have skyrocketed plus the taxes and other stuff has added up to the ever growin…

Happy Mother's Day Ma!

My dearest mama,
How are you?
How is everything up there?
Are you doing well there? I hope you’re doing great.
Is it true what they tell us here? That there is no pain and sickness there? Only happiness and eternal peace?  If that’s true then I’m jealous of you. You are in a better position than all of us here.
To update you on my life here’s the status quo: Grief has always been a daily thing for me now. Since the day you left us, there’s that emptiness in my heart – a hole that remains, a void that sits somewhere and always tries to make its presence felt.
There are also these waves they call, when out of nowhere I am reminded of you and then a wave of emotion just stirs me to tears.  It leaves me for a while and returns with an increased intensity. Somehow I get used to these waves and the heaviness that come with it. There are bearable moments, when I can just fight back the tears. But then there are also tough days when I’m at a public place and I cannot control myself from crying. On…

LSS: Feelings (Up Dharma Down)

Image
I have so many emo times, these are moments of solitude and alone time. Whenever I feel the longing to be alone and lonely I listen to songs that would exude the kind of emotion I want at that particular moment (specifically loneliness and exclusion). Talking about emotional songs, I stumbled upon one by Up Dharma Down. After listening to their latest album “Capacities” I was caught up by one of the songs from the album. Feelings is by far the most creative and emotional English song I’ve heard from UDD. I mean Oo, Tadhana and Indak are my favorite Filipino UDD songs but a song written in English which elicits the same emotions brought by the previous tracks is something, right? The song is well-crafted, with lyrics so poetically poignant you’ll end up pressing the REPEAT button (which I did for so many times).


If the lyrics are already good enough, wait until you’re captivated by Armi’s soothing voice. Her voice has that commanding presence which you can listen to all day for the rest…
