The Love for Books and Performing

I realized that these past few days, I have been keeping more to myself than usual. Seriously. Haven't been going online on MSN or even having a day out with my best buds. I also realized that I have been cooped up at home more and reading books, either the ones I have at home or the ones loaned from the library. I guess these books have been an escape for me, from the reality that I'm living in. I cared less about what's happening around me and more to going home as early as possible so I can prop myself up on the living room couch, with the fan blowing at my face whilst listening to music and at the same time enjoying a good book. Books, I realized, are the perfect tools in which we can immerse ourselves into the lives of the characters. Feeling emotions that they did, reacting exactly how they did in situations which we ourselves have had faced and at the same time finding out sides of ourselves which we didn't know exist.

I guess that could be the reason why I like books so much. They provide me with such enjoyment that I always felt satisfied and fulfilled after finishing each one. I felt like I have really learned a lot from the characters in the story and somehow wishing I could be just a fragment of the person that they were. After every good book, I would reflect back on my life and what I have done and at times fantasize how it would be like if I was the main character in that book and it was my story that other people were reading about.

Anyway, I guess that's enough about books. I wouldn't want to bore you guys so much that you would refrain from coming to my blog again.

Life for me these past few days have been pretty much peaceful and content in contrast to how I felt maybe a few weeks ago. My life has sort of fell back into perspective and I am no longer torn in between. I have yet to fully memorize my lines for my upcoming performance this Thursday and for those who know about it, do come down and watch me and some of my friends perform at the BlackBox in the TRCC. If I'm not wrong, the performance is during lunchtime so do come down. Thanks.
