I read a chapter today!! I had to distract myself from reality and I just remembered the feel of it, ones of the reasons why books are a must, it can be a comfort ❤

Update!

Sooo Hugo was found out (about what he did) they got into a fight but they resolved it, feelings were confessed. His family called and gave him news, but declined the offer, but you gotta love his family, literally everyone in this book is loveable ❤

kakalimutan na kita

Kakalimutan na kita

tatlong salitang nagpaguho ng mundo ko

at wumasak ng sarili ko

tatlong salitang nakakabingi

minsan pa nga’y nakakarindi

pero paulit ulit pa ring inaalala

dahil baka sakaling pag inulit ulit

maglaho sa isipan ko ang salitang “tayo”

Huli na para hilingin na hindi ito magtapos

sa dalawang salitang ikaw at ako

dahil ano pa nga bang magagawa

kung andito na tayo sa dulo

na minsang sinabi mong

hindi tayo aabot sa puntong ito

na tatalikuran ang lahat ng alaala

at itatapon na parang walang halaga

Huli na pero patuloy ko pa rin iniisip

kung hindi ba talaga ako sapat

para ikaw ay manatiling tapat

o hindi ba man lang ba ako kapantay

kaya binawi ka agad ng ‘di inaasahan

hindi ginusto, hindi rin binalak

ni hindi kailanman pinlano

pero wala ka na at di na babalik ditto

Aalalahanin pa rin kita

apat na salitang itinatak ko sa utak mo

no’ng nagpaalan kang aalis

at di na muling babalik

aalalahanin kita hanggang sa masanay

masanay na wala ka sa’king piling

masanay na di marinig ang boses mo

sa bawat pagsikat at paglubog ng araw

Aalalahanin kita hanggang sa mawala

mawala sa pakiramdam ko

ang bawat init ng yakap mo

na tila ayaw magpakawala sa higpit nito

aalalahanin hanggang mawala sa utak ko

ang bawat pangakong binitawan

sinambit na para bang hindi pababayaan

at hinding hindi ako bibiguin

Siguro mas mabuti ngang ganito

na nagtapos agad tayo

kaysa lalong magtagal

at lalong umasang para sa’tin ‘to

mas mabuti nang nangyari ‘to

dahil natauhan agad ako

na kahit mahal mo ako

ay kaya mong tapusin at talikuran ang lahat

Aalalahanin pero kakalimutan

aalalahanin ang masasayang alaala

ngunit kakalimutan ang mga saglit

na ako’y nakaramdam ng pait

sa pagaakalang babalik ka pa

aalalahanin ang mga panahong sa’tin

pero lilimutin ang pag-asang

“baka sakaling maulit muli”

Aalalahanin ang pangakong sinambit ko

na pananatilihin ko ang mga ngiti

ngunit kakalimutan na ikaw ang dahilan

sa likod ng bawat ngiti at galak

aalalahanin ang bawat plano

na binuo simula nang maging tayo

mula sa bahay na dinisenyuhan

hanggang sa kung ilan ang magiging anak

Ngunit kasabay ng aking pag-alala

ay patuloy pa rin ang pag-limot ko

siguro’y sasariwain ko lamang

ang bawat maliligayang memorya

na dadalhin ko hanggang sa pagtanda

dahil ito’y magsisilbing alaala

na minsan din naman akong sumaya

at kapiling kita

Ang ating kwento ay nagwakas na

ang mga kabanata’y tinuldukan na

at ang ating libro’y sarado na

hanggang dito na lang siguro

dahil tinatanggap ko na

na pinagtagpo man tayo ng tadhana

iba pa rin ang nakalaan para sa’tin

hindi tayo para sa isa’t isa

Huwag kang mag alala

aalalahanin pa rin kita kahit gaano katagal

ngunit hindi upang tumakbo pabalik sa’yo

aalalahanin kita hanggang sa maglaho

ang bawat bakas at alaala mo

dahil kasabay ng paglimot mo

lilimutan na rin kita

at hindi na muling babalikan

Field Notes On Love By Jennifer E. Smith For a while now, I’ve wanted to read a feel-good story and book after book, till I landed on ‘Field Notes On Love,’ was another emotional rollercoaster. ‘Field Notes On Love’ is a story of two people; a girl, who knows just exactly where she fits in the world and what she wants out of life, and a boy, seeking to find who he is and how he fits in the world. The premise of the story is unbelievable but it leaves you wondering about the effect two people can have on the course of each other’s life; how each interaction and experience shapes who we are and steers the course of our lives. I don’t know if I will be revisiting ‘Field Notes on Love.’ Okay, maybe on days when I need another feel-good read. #fieldnotesonlove #bookstagram #booklover #booknerd #readinglist2020 https://www.instagram.com/p/CC8ztzFF-Qk/?igshid=g34om4fwrpuc

Do you ever books on a whim? Or do you aways look up reviews before? 💕 I had not heard much about The Field Notes on Love by Jennifer E. Smith. I picked up this book on a random bookstore trip a few months ago because the synopsis sounded really cute. I’m only a few chapters in but so far so good!⠀ . SYNOPSIS:�� It’s about a teen boy from England, Hugo, who recently broke up with his girlfriend. They were supposed to go on a road trip by train from NY to LA where his girlfriend is going to start college. He decides to go alone since all the train tickets and hotels are paid already. The only thing is all reservations were made under his GF’s name: Margaret Campbell. So he puts up an ad online looking for a “Margaret Campbell” to join him on the trip. His family has been in the news all his life since he was 1 of 7 septuplets. He wants alone time away from his family and 5 siblings. Margaret “May” Campbell wants to go on an adventure before starting college at USC after being accepted to the school but rejected from the film program she desperately wanted to get into. So they decide to go on the train ride together and in a mutually beneficial partnership. But I think we all know what’s going to happen. 😘⠀ . . . . #bookreview #netgalley #romcombooks #yabooks #yafiction #yalit #contemporaryathon #yacontemporary #fieldnotesonlove #romancebooks #bookstagram #bookgram #booklove #bookcover #newbook #amreading #booksofig #bookworm #bookcommunity #booknerd #bookblogger #bookblog #beautybookcorner https://www.instagram.com/p/B215z9qgf8L/?igshid=rk5jaf3bgg00

I checked out Field Notes on Love from my library's Overdrive earlier this year and I liked it so much that I finally bought the book about two weeks ago because it was on sale online at Barnes and Noble. Plus I had free shipping with my membership. *** #fieldnotesonlove #physicalbooks #yabookstagram #bookstagram #yacontemporary #booksiown https://www.instagram.com/p/B0ZdK6SAeTu/?igshid=879l3ievqyk5

#bookhaul | I so adored @jenniferesmith’s 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐛𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐋𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐚𝐭 𝐅𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐒𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 that I still think about it whenever I think of good, YA contemporary storytelling. - 📚. The synopsis of 𝐅𝐢𝐞𝐥𝐝 𝐍𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐬 𝐎𝐧 𝐋𝐨𝐯𝐞 sounds “utterly romantic” as Jenny Han said in her blurb. - 📚. t's the perfect idea for a romantic week together: traveling across America by train. - 📚. But then Hugo's girlfriend dumps him. Her parting gift: the tickets for their long-planned last-hurrah-before-uni trip. Only, it's been booked under her name. Nontransferable, no exceptions. - 📚. Mae is still reeling from being rejected from USC's film school. When she stumbles across Hugo's ad for a replacement Margaret Campbell (her full name!), she's certain it's exactly the adventure she needs to shake off her disappointment and jump-start her next film. - 📚. A cross-country train trip with a complete stranger might not seem like the best idea. But to Mae and Hugo, both eager to escape their regular lives, it makes perfect sense. What starts as a convenient arrangement soon turns into something more. But when life outside the train catches up to them, can they find a way to keep their feelings for each other from getting derailed? - 📚. 📚. 📚. #yabooks #happypiday #piday #homemadepie #applepie #jenniferesmith #bookstagrammer #fieldnotesonlove #delacortepress #youngadultbooks #bookhaul #2019books #currentrelease #contemporaryya #romancebooks #booklr #booknerd #igreads #igbooks #bookflatlay #tbrpile https://www.instagram.com/sophieriggsby/p/BvAR-hSnhB-/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=101fn4zgyt22k

Finally got the mailbox open and retrieved the books that arrived on Tuesday. So excited for both of these!! @jenniferesmith @tylerknott #FieldNotesOnLove #MiracleInTheMundane https://www.instagram.com/p/Buz_pManWoxZm-dPYLC0ty83BMeJ1EIz69XThE0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=10nwztbtnyqvc

current annotations and page on Field Notes On Love by Jennifer E. Smith

update!

the drama begins! Hugo did something he really shouldn't have done, curiosity ran him over, instead of telling Mae, he forgot about it, being completely and utterly in love with her. I could already tell that he loves her, so does Mae... I guess they just won't admit it to themselves.

galit ako sa’yo

Galit ako sa’yo dahil

ilang taon kong pinilit kalimutan ka

at aaminin kong hindi naging madali

kadalasan, gusto ko na lang tumigil

at bumalik sa init ng iyong mga yakap

o kaya naman ay manatili sa’yong tabi

at makinig sa bawat pagpintig ng puso

habang payapa kang humihinga

Galit ako sa’yo dahil

ilang taon kong pinilit alisin

ang mga alaala mong iniwan sa’kin

kung paano mo tinahan lahat ng pag-iyak

kung paano mo pinanatag ang bawat duda

kung paano mo pinasaya ang araw na malungkot

kung paano mo sambitin ang mga salitang

mahal kita

Patuloy akong nagagalit sayo dahil

mahal kita, sobra

pero hindi sapat ang pagmamahal na iyon

para panatilihin ka dito, sa aking tabi

alam kong nahihirapan ka sa’ting sitwasyon

naguguluhan kung sino nga ba ang pipiliin

kung ako, na sinabi mong mahal mo

o ang iyong bokasyon, na nauna mong minahal

Pero ang pagmamahal ko sa’yo ay kayang bumitiw

dahil ito ay kayang mangangako

mangakong uunawain ka sa lahat ng oras

at suportahan ang bawat desisyon sa buhay

kaya sinubukan kong bumitaw

sa init at higpit ng iyong mga yakap

habang nangangako sa’yo at sa sarili

na ito na ang huli kong pagbitaw

Ang pagmamahal ko sa’yo ay kayang magpakawala,

dahil kahit anong subok, ito’y mananatili

at hinding hindi mag aalinlangang manatili

lumipas man ang mahabang panahon

kaya sinubukan kong pakawalan ang ating alaala

ang lahat ng salimuot at saya

habang pinananatili ang tuluyang pagkawasak

ng aking sarili dahil wala ka na

Ang tanging rason kung bakit galit ako sa’yo

ay dahil labis kitang minahal noon

labis kitang minahal na muntik ko nang malimutan

kung sino ako no’ng umpisa

at kung paano bumalik sa dating ako

na nawala kapalit ng pagmamahal ko sa’yo

kaya galit ako sa’yo dahil kahit anong gawin ko

hinahanap ko pa rin ang sarili ko, kasama mo.

I thought I needed a break from blogging but it turns out I just really needed more than four hours of sleep. Here's to hoping I continue sleeping better because I found my current read finally! I'm not really reading two books at the same time because that is impossible for me. I'm more into Field Notes on Love but I am trying to finish The Vanishing Stair. I've picked up that book so many times. What are you guys currently reading right now? *** #currentlyreading #yabookblogger #yabookstagram #goodreads #fieldnotesonlove #thevanishingstair #yacontemporary #yamystery #bookpost #bookstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/BySnxjZAVa1/?igshid=2vm165knr310
