The Kite Runner

Bought another book from National Bookstore today. I just can't believe this costs 50 pesos only on the Sale rack.

The gist (since i haven't started reading this yet): The story starts with a phone call to a grown-up Amir from his late father’s old friend Rahim Khan. This call gives him a chance to revive his life of betrayal and guilt he has been carrying since childhood. A flashback is then followed with friendship between Amir and Hassan where Amir secretly envies him due to his father’s affection for Hassan while the latter loves him unconditionally and says ‘for you a thousand times over’ whenever his friend asks him something.

The powerful expressions in sentences could take the readers on a flight to Afganistan allowing them to visualise the happenings. The story takes a required U-turn with Amir’s betrayal that forcefully departs Hassan from his dear friend forever. Actually devoted Hassan was brutally beaten and raped by a group of Pashtun bullies when he was on his way with Amir’s last cut kite in the local kite-flying tournament. Where Hassan played unbreakably loyal, Amir didn’t turn up to rescue his friend inspite of being an eye-witness of the piteous incident. Novel’s name suggests Hassan’s skillful quality of knowing where the kite would fall, it was assumed that perhaps he follows the kite’s shadow and reaches the landing place before the kite.

The Thief of Time

Again, I went to National bookstore at Gateway and purchased this book by John Boyne (one of my 'just recent' favorite writer who wrote The Boy in the Striped Pajamas) I haven't finished reading it, but it sounds interesting.

Here's the gist: Mathieu Zeia stopped growing old before the 18th century. He narrates his life, his wives and his one true love. 

By the way, I bought this for 30 pesos only. You guys should drop by National Bookstore Gateway, great finds for book lovers out there.

a lonely soul.

lonely in the city

yes. sometimes, waking up everyday seems like a routine rather than a celebration. On most days, I wake up to go to work, the city sounds seem to drown you and everything else seems to pass by  in a flash. Life in the city can either be exciting or boring. Well, for me excitement hasn't arrived yet. I dream of being an artistic person; people who design, write, draw, or photograph, but apparently I lack the skills and the equipment as well.

I think I'm more of an art appreciator than an art creator.

People in those fields amaze me, they seem so carefree and happy, as for me, trapped in a universe where a routine keeps me alive. Sometimes I just want to break free, but i feel like i'm living in a shell that I can't get out of.

Just recently I went to an event filled with "artistic" people, Writers photographers, film directors and the like. I was really overwhelmed by the aura that these people exude, it was quite beautiful.

 I envy them.

Another thing that made me feel remorse for myself after attending the event, was the fact that I went alone. Everyone seemed to know someone, but me. But it was all okay, the worst part was going home...ALONE..in the rain, while most of the people hung out at the venue with their friends.   

I just wish that one day near today, I meet someone, a guy who might hold my future. Someone who I've been waiting for.

fuck i sound stupid again.
