The Five People You Meet in Heaven

When my sister is watching the movie I never imagined that the story was this good until I finally read the book. And I was so moved, awed, and amazed by how it has touched my personal life. It was a roller coaster ride of emotions. I can totally relate to the story and actually taught me so many things about life.

It was just beautifully written.

So, here are some of my fav qoutes/lives from the book. I especially highlighted and wrote it on my 2012 journal. Simply because it has made a huge impact on me. And I LEARNED. :)

"But scenery without solace is meaningless."


"This is the greatest gift God can give you: to understand what happened i nyour life. To have it explained. It is the peace you have been searching for."


"It might seem strange to begin/start a stor with an ending. But all endings are also beginnings. We just don't know it at the time"


"The only time we waste is the time we spend thinking we are alone."

This Book Saved my Life



Lately, I've been interested in books. Okay, I know it's sooo not me, I'm not a fan of any book and I don't like to read a lot (except for fashion magazines). Since super expensive ng books sa book stores, I go for the second hand books. I went to Book Sale, and was browsing for a GOOD book to read. I saw the book Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus and got excited to get it. BUT! Some hand took it right before my hand lands onto the book. Fail! Ang tagal kong naghanap tapos when I finally saw IT may mauuna pa sa kin makakuha. Anyway, I still searched for a good title. I started to look again.


I got interested at this book. For someone who's not a bookworm and just wants to try reading. I think the title is so appealing for the readers. In the middle of my nowhere-abouts, at this point were I am somehow "lost," my instinct told me buy the book, go home, and start reading it.

I was a little bored and confused at the beginning of the story. But as the story goes I already had an idea of how this story will flow. I finished this book in about 48 hours I think. (Is that too slow? Heheh).
