Okay, so this post are late. And I admit, it's not easy blogging and blogging. But here, it won't stop me. :)
So I read this book entitled Illusions, for our Photography class. And asked us to write a reaction paper for it. This is what I wrote. here it goes...
While reading the story at the beginning, I thought it was boring. But then as I go through it, as it goes by, I found out that it was really interesting. With all the quotes and saying by Richard Bach himself. It was so real. So sophisticated. It really touched me after reading the story. It’s like I viewed life in another perspective. It made me see life, in another way; in a more improved way. It seems that Shimoda explains to Richard, is that the book will open to the page on which the reader may find guidance or the answers to doubts and questions in his mind.
There’s one quote that touched me, “Remember where you came from, where you’re going, and why you created the mess you got yourself into in the first place”. It’s like telling me never forget to look back and where and what you’re going to go and do next. Think of the things that you got into and what and how you got into that, and try to fix it in every way possible. Another is, “Your only obligation in any lifetime is to be true to yourself”. You just can’t really trust anybody anymore; it even comes to a point that you can’t trust yourself anymore. So, it’s really best if you just be true to yourself always, and decide wisely. There’s just so may quotations, that I can’t choose my favorite, it’s like I want to explain each end every quote, it’s just, I got caught up with it. Here’s another, “You're always free to change your mind and choose a different future, or a different past.” This means, that you may always choose and decide whatever you want to do. You have the liberty to do what you want. It’s your life. It’s your won. No one can and will stop you with whatever you decide on.
I believe he is telling us that we are each our own Donald Shimoda. The questions should be directed within and, from there, the answers shall come.
then Sir Castro dismissed us early 'cause the raid was so hard, and the thunder was so hard. it's like there's a storm already. I went to Glorietta to meet up with Patrick. Then stayed there to hangout. When it was about 8pm, we left. Going home, we always ride the MRT. When I went down to wait for the train, THERE WAS LITEARLLY A HUNDRED OF PEOPLE. And I was not happy. I hate it everytime there would be so much people waiting for the train. Though when I was lining up, i found my bag open. But i thought i just left it. I did not check it because my stomach hurts so bad. Therefore, my attention was on my stomach. Then, when i arrived Shaw station, , bought gulaman because I was really thirsty already. While walking and drinking, the drink poured on my body; like inside my shirt. Was I unlucky or what! So when I got home, I went straight to the bathroom and took a bath. Finally, I lay down. While talking to Patrick, I was like “Let me see how much money I have so that we can watch a movie tomorrow.” When I checked my bag, MY WALLET WAS NOT IN THERE. So I panicked so much, because literally everything was in there. Pictures, cards, receipts, IDs, movie tickets, etc. :((( I cried to Patrick. So he clamed me down. But then I can’t accept the fact that it was taken away from me. I just can’t. BV. BV. BV. BV. BV. BV. But, I thank God, because Patrick is there for me to calm me down. And he also told me to just be thankful, because I was not hurt. There was a purpose, he said. And I believed him. He’s such a love one.
