(Spoiler Alert: This is not a review)
This is not supposed to be a review or any of that sort but this book I just finished reading hours ago had struck me so much that I cant find my way to sleep.

I had previously downloaded this ebook for free from a blogger..(Yes she provides some free ebooks like Hunger Games, Life of Pi, and mostly Green's book, I think it had Harry Potter in it too). I was supposed to read Looking for Alaska since I got good reviews but barely have I started due to busy scheds or Im-not-just-in-the-mood. It was this awesome late night last night that I cant find my way to sleep. I browsed my galaxy notes files and I found this literature. Why not try?

I started reading the first sentences and I was too much delved about the things I might know into those people suffering from serious illness (Prolly because I had just been treated from measles) I was really ecstatic on the few pages until I came across to Augustus Waters. I become more ecstatic. (Mind you, I'm a little heartbroken too.) 

Gus character. By no means, I cant explain had really hit me through the bones. ( A little exaggerated) His character is like somehow familiar to me, like resembling someone. His cool acts, his being funny, his being a metaphor guy, his being a smart dude, his being sweet but not so cheesy, his being full-of-efforts-guy.. I guess I've kinda known Augustus. And it hurts me.. to whatever happened to him.. I think it might be similar to my friend.. (I'm not telling my friend will ***) 

Let me tell you this one short story, It was like the first series of exam this year, 2013, was over, around last week of January. Since Ive got nothing much to do, I downloaded this app from the Playstore, called KakaoTalk.. I got international friends. But the only closest I got, to which I demand chatting with him every Friday night til dawn was Harry of India. But, I'm not in that relationship status the same with Hazel Grace and Gus! Come on! I just say, when Gus sort of (I cant spoil).. I felt like, we, I, really cant hold on to our friendship like forever. ie, we cant always talk every Friday night since he's busy, I'm waiting, kidding, I'm busy too..(sort of) and its really two different worlds, two different time zones, two different races.. and it'll be hard.. Its my first time to have international friends too! Thanks technology! :) But that, I mean, its not normal friendship like seeing each other everyday.. but what could have been normal from the start.. (I dunno if you're getting my point, but the point is.. that's my point. lol)

Okay! and so, another realization hooked me up about all these stuffs, having a weak body, deteriorated by serious illnesses and such. I thank God, for giving me a healthy body, sound mind and spirit.. along with the people around me, my Family, relatives, and friends. I just cant admire the kids in the story more, how was it so effective with Mr. Green's novel for me to realize how beautiful my life is! How lucky I am.. (How worrisome I have been, that makes me guilty). It just that I can't appreciate what life really has to offer that I've taken for granted everyday like just passing days.. Yes, now, I could have been more thankful! I could have extended more the blessings I have.. I could have meant more those times I said I love you, to my parents and friends. Those times I had my heart broken, seriously, what's so wrong with a broken heart, the most important thing is that you'd learn to appreciate, you'd learn to love! Quoting from Gus, "You don't get choose if you get hurt in this world." Loving had always been a beautiful thing, and I must continue loving the people around me, whatever the cost is.

And most especially, this book had lots of life quotes too that everyone can relate too.. I myself had always this in mind, "That's the thing about pain, it demands to be felt." (I told you, I'm a little heartbroken!)  Aside from that, there are lots of encouragement quotes too! Maybe I should try stitching one! :)

This book is a realizer. (Now look who's saying its not a review.lol!) I've learned a lot! (Spoiler alert: Spare some tissue) and it has touched me on many ways.. I hope you too.. Try reading it..

"Okay!"

"Okay... Okay!"

:'))


(Funny, how I ended up crying after writing this blog.. but not cried while reading the book)
(Spoiler alert: I think the word Okay would be sentimental for you too.)
