I am really into reading. I'm a big fan of english-fiction books, those from Dan Brown or Robert Ludlum. I also like reading business-related books (accounting books?maybe.), authored by Stephen Covey, Donald Trump Jr., or Robert Kiyosaki. Or books which are now a major motion picture (too many to mention). I just find satisfaction on reading those books. On other hand, I hate some books, especially Tagalog pocket books(boring....ZzzZzzZzzZZ).
Later this year, I found something interesting about an author (and his books, of course) from the mouths of my ate's and kuya's (BSA department). They really have a lot of good things to say about this brilliant "BOB ONG". First thought that comes to mind is BR books. Ong? Sounds Chinesse, right? And they're more on business, I supposed. I've heard numerous heresays about Ong's books (Stainless, Aba?, Alamat, Paboritong Libro ni Hudas.....and I forgot the others). Almost all elites of the department (Club Presidents, Actives, and the pambato's) have read the book and recommended it. So there is really something from it, I presumed.
Just this November 13 (Thursday), Ate Hannah (Gomez) lend me her "Stainless Longganisa". I am quite excited to read it, curious of what will I find out. So, I started reading it the time she handed it to me, but due to some interactions, I can't concentrate and ponder on what I'm reading(assignment here and hither, quizzes, reviews, and I went to sleep earlier than before), so, it doesn't gave me the time to comprehend the book (I mean the content).
This weekend, I have no class, assignments prompted me. But as eager to read the book, I've done all my homework the Friday night, so that Saturday will be a free day for me (Yehey!).
So as expected, I did finish reading the book by Saturday.
The book is different (to the extent that I haven't read something like it before). I thought it will evolve on only one story but I found it wrong. The story jumps from one set-up to another, one story to the other. Bob Ong is a writer who wrote what's inside him (even if it's not chronologically arranged), what he wanted to write. And that's what I like most about his book. I've learned from it.
(If the BobongPinoy was really published, I want to read it, seriously. I want to know his stand regarding political issues which I love dealing with.)
He shares to me what it takes to be a good writer, pondering on the thought, "You should aim to be a writer because you wanted to write, not because of the things it will bring unto you, not everyone has given the talent to write........"
Honestly, I'm really not into TAGALOG books (except those required on school, Noli Mi Tangere or El Filibusterismo either), I don't know what comes into my mind to give this book a try, besides, nothing's wrong with it.
But as a result?
I don't have any regrets at all. Promise!
Looking forward on reading another BO book, next time.
P.S. I can't tell now if I really love the way BO write his books, since it is only book that I've read. Maybe next time.
