In the living room a while ago, my gaze lingered on something familiar: a small black book that’s been sitting on a shelf untouched for a while now. I took it, saw the familiar silver letters on the textured hard cover, and remembered it was what Nina gave me for my birthday this year.
I took one more drag of the cig I was smoking before I began flipping through the pages. If this were effective, I thought, maybe I should have this with me wherever I go, just in case I or someone else needs it. First I opened it where Nina left the bookmark (more snapshots of the content after the jump).
Hmmm, it seems Nina knows me too well LOL. The mere thought of “getting some” already made me giddy with pure delight. That page soon got me started on a fliping frenzy, half-thinking that maybe this book’s supposed wisdom can give me a month’s worth of days filled with happy thoughts. It’s worth a try.

Somehow, this reminded me of Pau and his awesomeness, or is it Momma Petrelli of Heroes when we were still wondering what her powers were.
flip
And this one reminded me of Elyoo’s plurk the other day.
flip
LOL, done that. Next!
flip
This one reminded me of Arpee’s special award from BlogBank in last year’s Philippine Blog Awards (by the way, nominations for this year’s PBAs is now open. Make sure to submit your nominations ASAP).
flip
Hmmm, interesting… I’ve never done this bef… or have I? (thinking) LOL Maybe when I wake up in the morning, I ca… OK, too much info. (awkward)
flip
Um, Mr Book Writer, sir, what if I can’t whistle? kairitang suggestion lang, hmp.
flip
This is actually something Billycoy would do. Or Rens. Sorry, book, but that’s not how I roll.
flip
LOL, does this not have Manolo written all over it or is it just me?
flip
Don’t start!
flip
Maybe later. Don’t be overly suggestive, book, because I’m blogging about your random pages! Now, behave!
flip
WHAT’S WITH THE PERSISTENCE?! I’m THIS close to putting you down now, book! I’M SERIOUS!
flip
… now we’re talking! HUHLOLZ!
flip
And then there’s “singing”: because not everything in this book is perverted.
We all have our ways of coping from a bad day. The last page I’ll share with you is more of a long term proposed suggestion.
flip
Couldn’t agree with you more! w000000000000000000t!
Book’s back cover with the names of its authors.
If you want some good vibes, drop me a note and maybe I can share with you some more random pages off the book. Maybe they can help.
Thanks for the book again, Nina! Happy Sunday morning, everyone!

Glad you liked it Fritz! Hindi naman masyadong bastusin yung book di ba? XD
Pau, I bought it sa Fully Booked, sa section ng mga uh, random shit lol. I found it amidst the Emily the Strange books, I can has cheezburger and The Retrosexual Manual: How to be a real man.

Nagpapagago ako sa mga books like these XD
12 July 2009 at 4:29 pm
Grabe, walang kamali-malisya, wholesome, at kapupulutan ng aral. In short, patok sa takilya! Yay!
12 July 2009 at 4:40 pm
Thanks! I live just 5 minutes away from a Fully Booked but I never bothered to check. Hehe.

UBOD NG PERVERTED, VIRGIN NAMAN! UMAYOS KA!
12 July 2009 at 8:39 pm
Marami pa syang lamang iba’t ibang suggestions. Di man sya ganung ka-serious, sa aliw mong magbasa, medyo gagaang na rin pakiramdam mo :D
12 July 2009 at 9:33 pm
And how much does one pay for a book like this?
12 July 2009 at 9:43 pm
I’m shy to ask kasi I was given to me. Too shy rin to look it up myself sa Fully Booked. Awkward yun man! hehe.
12 July 2009 at 9:44 pm
ONGANO, BIM, BAKA ETO SOLUTION PAG KELANGAN MO NG POSITIVE PUSH! HOMAYGAS!
12 July 2009 at 10:25 pm
Looks like I’ll be hitting a Fully Book branch and buy a copy. I’ve been feeling good these days, and I might need something that would keep it that way. :D
13 July 2009 at 11:20 pm
Ayus, gusto ko din ng ganito!
13 July 2009 at 11:27 pm
