my love for another paulo


January 15, 2009
A certain Paulo Coelho, that's who. hehe! 

i first found out about him when a friend told me to try reading, by the river piedra i  sat down and wept. i remember starting reading it at powerbooks, i almost finished it that time but the guard was eyeing me already so i dropped it and waited for my friend to lend me her copy. i remember quoting from it, even saying that it was written to tell the story of my life, less all the religious aspect, since this was around the time that i took philo and i started to question alot of things. 

anyway, i loved how he wrote it that i read some more of his books. soon i was addicted to him. he has a way of telling a story infused with thoughts of wisdom that flows so fluidly, it felt like the whole book is one very long quotation. 

that's how he ended up in "People I'd like to meet" list, or preferably "people i'd like to have coffee with". a very far of wish being that he lives in Brazil (oo eh yun lang ang hindrance sa realization ng dream na to eh hahahahahahaha!)

but thanks to technology, i stumbled upon him at plurk. like the fan girl that i am, i lurked. i was supposed to get some more shut eye but i ended up reading some more of his blog entries. its refreshing how his words can still reflect my ideas, especially about love. or how he also loves being at the right place.

i can now imagine how our coffee date would be like. he'll be sitting across me with his venti Latte, his hands in a graceful hypnotic dance as he talks about his writing, or the new image he found floating in cyberspace while i'd be smiling there, sipping my machiatto slowly with a long yellow pad and pen, taking down notes. hahahahahaha! napaka-nerd.
