some inspiration for a tired & weary soul...

At long last! i finally felt alive lately. hehehe. really shallow of me!
i found this book . i first read it when i was in junior college. now i finally had a copy of my own!
its historical fiction. penned by Emily Hanlon. titled "Petersburg"
up to now, it still feels like i'm breathing the same air they are breathing. like 1905 was just yesterday & that i'm in St. Petersburg, marching with alexei,anna, irina, misha, zhenya.

as if, this year is not 2005. as if, i'm not living in davao city, the best place in southern philippines! (hehehe, luv ur own!) as if, the weather doesn't feel like hell.as if, technology at this pace, doesn't exist.as if, i understand a word of russian.as if, i experienced winter...sigh..and the "as if's" goes on & on.

when the author said that she felt like she just recounted her travels to those places in russia & the scenes are rembrances of the events & the people she met along the way(or something to that effect, i don't have the book while writing this :P) , it was very well said. i felt the same.

mind you, i always have this effect after reading a great book or watching a beautiful movie.& it sometimes last as long as i can remember...

But one thing never has never changed though, whether it's 1905 russia or 2005 philippines, the government sucks!
