13 by Accident


I haven’t blogged for a long time and the reason that I haven’t was because I was too busy looking around for a job. Walking around Metro Manila and even farther places like BiƱan got me so hopped up in the job-hunting hype that I forgot to take some time, sit down and think of my next move. And since I haven’t heard from any of the companies that I have applied to (some of them called but the screening process takes weeks, months even!) I thought it’s time to say something.

Yesterday while I was on my way back to my apartment (just finished with another job interview), I took a second glance at the National Book Store and got the idea that I needed new refills for my mechanical pencil. So I went over and bought some when my eyes fell on the bottom shelf of the fiction bookcase. And there it was – the latest addition to the Trese Series. I was hesitant to buy it since I’m recently very cautious about spending having no means of replenishing my funds but through my older sister. But to hell, I bought it anyway. I know. I’m not thinking straight. I just needed something to stop me from driving myself insane and its only 150 pesos. I won’t eat for the next two days and that’s resolved.

I read Trese 5 immediately after I bought it. I read it on the train, while walking, in the tricycle. I even reread it before going to sleep. God, I miss tangible books – the smell, the touch, the crunching of the pages when they slide against each other. All I have are these ebooks I got from my recent escapades in the web. I don’t think I’ll ever get the hang of ebooks.

Trese. I’m hooked.  The art, the story the chararcters – I’m so into them that I want to live in their world and see things the way they see things. It’s kind of funny when I think about it because it reminds me the first time I read a Harry Potter book. Well, we all have to find something to keep us hoping, believing and dreaming. I just hope that Trese will never turn to into an ebook. That would be a nightmare for me.
