Paulo Coelho (The Alchemist) tweeted me!

I have heard a lot of the book "The Alchemist" written by a masterpiece himself, Paulo Coelho. It is a novel that talks about the journey of a man named Santiago. I'm sure for a man like Paulo Coelho, he can make you move places and get up-close with the reality through his book.

He wrote this novel that sold 65 million copies in 150 countries. He is also a Guiness record holder as the only living author who was able to translate his novel The Alchemist into 67 languages. Imagine that!

This is really a book worth having not only that it is written by a genius but it talks deeply about life, destiny, and God.

"The Alchemist", is an exciting novel that bursts with optimism; it is the kind of novel that tells you that everything is possible as long as you really want it to happen. That may sound like an oversimplified version of new-age philosophy and mysticism, but as Coelho states "simple things are the most valuable and only wise people appreciate them" source

I can't wait to have my own copy of the novel. I'm sure its going to be worth the read.

Anyway, without any intention I mentioned Coelho on my twitter since I'm following him there, stating that

Hehehenry: I think "The Alchemist" of @paulocoelho is interesting to read. I really want one. But where can I buy it?

But Goddamnit! He tweeted back saying...

paulocoelho: @Hehehenry I hope anywhere...

HAHAH!! Now I understood what it means to be "star strucked"!

What color is your bra?

I wonder why some of my female friends on facebook are posting on their statuses a certain color - no more no less. It made me think if there's a new pain in the neck similar to the you've-been-hit-by-a-pillow one has invaded facebook again. But thanks to my geeky side, I read an article from the site 2-minute-news that explained all the fad that's been happening all over facebook.

Its the Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign! And the trend is. for the females to update their status with the color of their bras! I support this campaign and I pray that cancer will have a cure. We all have enough sufferings in the world and I don't wanna see my mother and all women suffering from this.

On a lighter note, along with my geeky side comes my naughty side as well. I took a screenshot of those females who are aware of the hype. And here are the color of their bras, UH, I mean, their facebook statuses. (You may enlarge the pic)

But isn't it that breast cancer can happen to men as well?

So...

BLUE.

Welcome 2010!

Happy new year!
This is the time for most people to make their never-ending new year's resolution. Have you already made one for yourself? If I could just suggest, could you be more punctual? I think we Filipinos tend to fail in this area. Especially me!

Talking about new year resolutions, I really cant remember one instance of my life that I made one. Maybe because I just dont wanna conform to what most people do or I can already foresee that Im not gonna make it anyway so why bother make one.

One quick trivia: "Do you you know that 90% of resolutions made every year are not being met?" Good for you if you belong to the upper 10%.

For a person who really wants change in his/her life, he/she doesn't need to wait for new year to come to make that change. We all have the 365 days of the year to start the change we wanna see, and it can happen now.

I'm so positive that this will be an exciting year for me and my family. I am expecting good things to come my way and as always will still be thankful to God for all His blessings.Welcome 2010! I have big dreams for you!
