I'll introduce first how I bought a book today.
Before writing the article Rain and Sky, I watched a movie entitled Madeleine. That movie reminded me about the importance of books that's why I decided to buy a book after watching that movie and writing my article.
I turned off the PC and changed my clothes and put in my jogging pants, sleeves and my black jacket. I changed my necklace to the one with many charms and left the house.
There's no tricycle so I decided to walk from our house up to the highway. I enjoyed it becuase it's cold and I just thought that it will make me thin. haha. After walking and enjoying the scenes of a cloudy and dark afternoon, I rode on a jeepney and went to National Bookstore.
When I arrived to the National Bookstore, I went excitedly to the books section. I tried to find the book I'm really craving for. The title of it is Happiness Now but I also like Being Happy and Happiness in a Nutshell. The author is Andrew Matthews. I really enjoyed scanning that book last May. I was so sad that day when I decided to leave home and go to SM North Edsa, a mall here in the Philippines, I was really crying that day and my eyes are worn out but when I arrived at the National Bookstore in SM North Edsa last May I encountered this two books. It's about how life can be happy by doing simple things. I didn't find it so I searched for novels about love but I find it boring. I went to the teen section but all I saw was stories about life and I don't enjoy it. Why? Because every book in the teens section is about dating and it sucks.
I don't like novels about teens love life and I don't like classic novels too. I don't enjoy reading books with small letters, brown paper pages and soft bounds. I enjoy books which are colored, have pictures in it and short or long stories that can inspire me.
I went to the spiritual section and I found books that touches life because of God. I picked plenty and decided which one to buy. I saw Footprints in the sand for Teens but I don't enjoy it anymore. When I was still in High School, I want to buy that book but now I decided not to.
I bought a book entitled, What Matters Most for Teens. It does not have any authors but it's about wisdom and inspiration for the important issues in life like when you fall in love, patience, trusting to God, problems and so on. When I touched it, I knew it was for me so I didn't let go of it.
I'm not satisfied to one book so I searched for another again. Too bad I saw the book that I've been craving for 3 months. The book I'm saying is Happiness Now. I really like that book but still God first so I left it and said to myself that one of these days I'll come back to that bookstore and buy it. I hope this week I can have it.
After paying for my new book, I looked at the window and it's already dark. I don't know how long I've been in that bookstore but that made me happy coz I find the book I'm craving for. I know that book since May and I'm looking for it in every bookstore but now that I found it, I will really save my money for that.
I went home again by riding a jeepney and because it's cold I decided to walk again. I find my way so good because of the overlooking view of the city. I looked at the lights and I felt the cold breeze of the wind.
After writing these article I will read my new book and I promise I will share what I had read today. So Bye for now....^_^
I wish somebody will give me that book I'm craving for but if no one will I will really save my money for it.
