Ang Asul Na Libro

i am so proud to say.. that for almost half a year, we finally finished it! after weeks of graveyard works, sleepless nights, slow musical pieces of james ingram and mind-draining writing, we were finally able to give the book to iya last 2 weeks ago. even if its really an over-due period
gift, we still manage to produce a some what entertaining, intriguing and mysterious type of book. i look back the time i was just thinking of making a material to read, (way back 8months ago), i remembered it was just a fraction of my imagination. revolving every after i had a deep sleep. every detail, from the beginning and up to the end of the story, all of them
are in my drained mind. 2 weeks after, i called chubby and asked her if she can help me to write it. we spend countless talks on the phone just to detail every thing about the story. then later on call from time to update every page.but due to chubby's inconsistency on her scheds, the work stopped for awhile and have been continued again thru the help of some of my dedicated friends who believed in my dream. that tiny dream to make a book has become their own dream too. Soon, we began to look for places that we can stimulate our minds to complete the story. there are times where ralph, jeffcrazy and i have drank 3 mugz of coffee a night just to finish the book! if only we captured those moments back then, we're like stressed out students who worked 24 hours on a thesis, then maybe you can all have seen our sacrifices enough. all of us havent had the formal training on writing a book and yet we surprised ourselves that we have made one not just for kicks, but for the thought of giving a gift to someone that really appreciated you as who you are and by letting out the best on you. now thats worth the effort and that answers the
question WHY.

the moral lesson:

yes. it was the most difficult thing we have accomplished in ourlives as students. comparing to research works or thesis, making a book without a formal training on it is not easy. but despite all the difficulties, the thing that really motivated us at the beggining
was... friendship. the friendship that had been built by iya had made us strong from the beggining and up to now. imagine 4 persons who havent been friends for a year had made a book for an 18th birthday present? amazing diba? the experience itself thought us alot. ang saya
talaga! may mga times pa nga na sumusuko na kami, pero tuloy pa rin.. i almost cried after we finished and finally handed it to the bday celebrator. its really an experience worth

telling for when the time we all grew old... part 2? hahahaha... we'll think about it...
