From shock to numbness to boredom to anger to peace. Five emotions felt in reading this book.

Was looking for more but I cannot help but recommend the other books instead of this one.
Sorry. Maybe this book is not for me.

It is not only a friend's favorite, but also my sister's most-loved, too. I shall make a review when I have time. :)

Actually. This is my third Mina Esguerra's book and I actually found it awesome.
Review to follow. :)

Hi Cary,

Thank you for recommending this book. I really enjoyed reading it. And discussing this with Mum and Kitty (my little sister) was totally awesome.

I believe in love. I believe it to be transaparent (black or white,no gray areas, no issues) and true and it is God's will for us to be intimate. I believe for a purposeful singleness. And I believe in our will to take courage and love another person so purely with nothing to expect in return.

I believe in prayers for a fateful time. I believe in our will to take risks. I believe in faith and fate.

I believe in love, Cary. I believe that maybe all these heartaches were life lesson on how to deal with life, on how to resolve our personal issues, and how to be be hopeful for the moment.

I believe that God is grooming my man to be man enough to face me and take the road we both longed for. :)

This is so Joshua Harris. A man-friend / superfriend that pats me in the back and tells me that it is okay to cry and ponder. And much much easier to restart your life and be back on the road. There maybe linger on some instances or memories that you cannot "just turn them off", but you know that you can do some things because there is more to life than what you are now.

Thanks again, Cary. We shall wait for our partners when the time comes. :)

Instead of placing three stories as stand-alone, in this volume Budjette and Kajo made ONE cohesive story with fun in it.
Comprehensive review to follow. :)

Of mathematical formula, of doodle-doodles, and of being something - the protagonist's journey enlightened us that what matters most is not the destination, but what has happened, is happening, and will happen in their journey life ahead.

This is a cute story of predictability, but finding out that the bottomline is nothing is predictable.

I liked the adventure. And I liked the footnotes and the graphs. And I liked the book for not including any classroom environment in it. Yeah, not a typical teenage drama confessions.

Yeah, we should have these kind of komiks to impart to our generations.
I am glad that Ian Sta. Maria and Mervin Ignacio braved all the challenges to release this book. Not only as an experimental story - but the comics portrayed as their flagship project.

And there is a cross-over from our famous babaylan-mandirigma: Alexandra Trese.
I LIKE! :D
