While roaming through the aisles of the national bookstore I spotted a counter top filled with Bob Ong’s book. There were three titles that I haven’t read yet. They were Mac Arthur, Alamat ng Gubat and Stainless Longganisa. I chose to buy the latest after I’ve read the synopsis in each back cover of the books. Stainless longganisa primarily talks about the journey Bob had as he wrote his books. It’s also filled with interesting and even weird things about many world renowned authors. Like the other books this one is very well written. It’s direct to the point and very conversational. I’d say its a great read for everyone especially to those who likes to write. Ong also showed the importance of reading. It was a good buy for me. Although reading it took my attention off from other things only for a coupleof hours.

Words of Wisdom according to me ^^
>> No one can ever hurt you unless you let yourself be hurt. It all boils down to your own self. Similarly, you can’t be happy unless you choose to.
>> It’s all about enjoying things as they come. There’s no need to think about every little detail or make every emotion a big deal because one thing is for sure – it will CHANGE.
>> Sometimes everyone needs to unleash the “bitch” within not because trip mo lang but to protect yourself. Sometimes being too nice is unhealthy.
>> There are things that are just purely complicated that we’d rather not deal with it. Step back and relax. Go smell the coffee. There are better things to do other than to think of the unthinkable.
