My book haul















The Introvert's Way


The Introvert's Way took my full attention. As a natural introvert, I thought this book could relate to me silently.It reminded me of a book about The Power of Introverts by Susan Cain.She gave an astounding talk in TED. Do watch what she has to say before judging introverts. 



Eleanor & Park

Well, I thought it was sweet and yes you could say very much cliche romance however at that time, my mind was rather interested in reading how hipster love is like. All i could say was Park would secretly share his comic books with Eleanor. I found it rather sweet of Park when he placed his headphones on her head. They spent every bus ride sharing the love for music. Unfortunately, I stopped reading it as Park's loving ways towards Eleanor had elicited something sad within me. I think I am alright to pick up this book again.




John Green Books


If you've read The Fault In Our Stars, then you may be pulled into buying more of his books. I know. Cliche story of a boy and a girl with severe health issues, they fall in love, and then the author just had to pull a romeo and juliet by killing off the guy's character.Well, if you are a girl with emotions running high.This is a book for you. I liked it because I fell in love for the witticism and charming main dude.








 
 
 
 
 
Murakami
 
 
He is the best kind of writer, nobody competes with his absurdity and brilliance. Eloquent, classy, yet understandable. I love how he could represent his ideas so beautifully, intelligently with a tad bit of witticism thrown into the bowl of awesomeness. His books are about the different worlds,the point of view of the world to each of his own different characters. What we common people accept as absurdity, it is in fact fate to him. Whenever I read his books, I think to myself  "If I am married for life to such a guy with a mind I would love to unravel, and then love every part of him to bits."
I recommend a way in enjoying and even falling in love with Murakami.
First read Norwegian Wood, The Wind Up Bird Chronicle,Blind Willow Sleepy Woman, Kafka On The Shore,After Dark ,Underground and saving the best for last 1Q84. 1Q84 and Norwegian Wood are stellar together.
 
 
 
 
Orhan Pamuk
 
 
 
This is my first book from him. I am trying out books written by Nobel Prize for Literature winners.I hope I will finish it and probably do a book review. I bought Red Sorghum which was a book by Mo Yan the Nobel Prize for Literature winner of 2012 however I didn't find the time to read it. I will try to make it a point to do so.
 





Mitch Albom
 
 
 
 
Please.Read Tuesdays With Morrie. Then you would understand my Mitch Albom obsession. His other book called The Time Keeper was also really good however some critics in Goodreads thought It wasn't as good as his other books. I have to disagree with them. It is a beautiful masterpiece about Time. There is a time to amend your wrongs , a time to forgive, a time to be still and enjoy how lovely life can be if only man did not measure time and allow it to govern his life.

I would love to one day read a book under a tree, during Spring with the sun shining one me and the breeze lovingly caress my skin.

Finding Who I Am and Learning to Love myself

The Ending That Didn't Happen
 
 
 
I am what you would say recovering.
I had really committed myself to have a relationship such as shown in the picture above
And it just didn't work out
We are too young, too immatured
He miss his single life, my presence only stunts his extrovert lifestyle
I placed all my problems on him
He stopped sharing his problems
because maybe he felt I would not listen to him anymore
We grew distant
Maybe for him , I was a sour sweet he doesn't want to accidentally taste once more
He didn't like that I was jealous of his activities involving many girls.
I would get jealous over the fact that he doesn't smile
Like he does when he is with them
I wondered why
He said he wants a girl that has her own life and friends
A girl willing to sacrifice her time for him
Let me just tell you why I couldn't be that girl when I actually am if I had learned to be more shameless
I lived my life
to please my parents
I don't go against them
I refrained from going out and having boyfriends
Because I live in constant fear of my parents
Yes
My life up till now is a monotonous one
Up till him,
I learned to bite the bullet
I learned to heck every shyness
Every fear
To get out of my comfort zone
Make new friends
Go out
More
Actually
Learn
to
have
A
LIFE
 
 
 
Hence, I have open up my heart more to people
I have tried my best to be friends with every new people I meet
I am job hunting as well
Enquiring for jobs
Doing my own thing
Being more independent
Being more of the Naomi I envisioned I am
But derailed from that vision
Because I was brought up
Under a very protective family
 
 
 
 
I will be learning how to drive, hopefully getting my license soon
I will show my parents that I am capable of not killing myself
And then I could go on road trips with my close friends
My sisters
The people who made me believe,
In this Naomi
That I am that girl
With her own life, her own friends and I have always been willing
to sacrifice for the people I love
If he doesn't see that
Its his lost
Not mine
I will be stronger each day
I will pick myself up
Love myself for who I am
And not compare myself with girls that my possible boyfriend are with
I am an overthinker
It goes with my very highly epic and expressive
IMAGINATION
There are more cons to it then pros
If I let myself overthink,work up a motherboard overload in my mind
Would burn out, white smokes, hot heart.
Who suffers and bears the hurt?
ME
 
 
How My Thinking Changed As Time Passed
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 

 
 
 

 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 
 

 
 
Fin
 
I will go on the journey of living my life the way I want to for all these years.
I will learn to find God and myself.
I will find the goods and flaws within me
And I will come to love myself eventually
And be happy that someone loves me for me
And not to get jealous over his friends which are girls
And to learn to trust him.
 
 
2014
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
To My Friends:
 
 
Thank You from the depths of my heart for the support and love you gave me.
Thank You for understanding that I could not be there for you
As I was struggling with my own demons.
My own sorrow
Truly, thank you for being there for me.
For the Laughter, Happiness and Companionship.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
STAY CHIC MY BABES AND HUNKS
 
 
LOTS OF LOVE
