I woke up at around 5PM today. I ate breakfast and then took a bath. And i was feeling empty. I wanted to turn my PC on but then i was just too tired of it to do so.

I really wanted to read. It was not surprising that i thirst for good reads. When i was a child, my mom would buy me a set of children's books. those with gigantic letters and colorful pictures. I was fond of reading fairytales, adventure stories and an atlas. I grew up with as much books as my toys.

And when i started going to school at 4, i lost the time to read those books. because at that age, i started to write stories. i shifted from reading to writing whatever. we had the typewriter and i would usually sit there after school, ticking the keys.

i went back to reading on the 1st grade however, those were academic books. and those did not interest me as much as fiction. for in reading fiction, i get so absorbed by it that i am transported to some other world. when i'm reading, i can see the scenes flashing before me. it's as if i am just watching a TV show or a movie. and i've hungered for this kind of feeling for so long.

i didn't get to read much fiction since i started schooling. as i've mentioned, purely academic books. and though history is interesting, science as well, i don't feel fulfilled after reading them. okay, i get to learn from those books but learning and feeling satisfied with what you've read are two different things.

i've been reading Marx, McLuhan, Engels, Weber, and who else? but it's just learning and i still feel empty after reading them. and they pale in comparison with Cinderella, Icarus, the Greek gods, Richard Mayhew, Harry Potter, Frodo and some others.

with all the academic stress on me, i just want to have a good escape from time to time. going out during hell week is a guilty pleasure and i couldn't count it as a good escape. after reading a Gaiman, Grisham, Bach, Sheldon, Rowling or a Meyer, I feel good. no guilty feel. i get to travel to some place while absorbing their writing style.

i miss that feeling of travelling in space. HAHA. and i can't wait to burry myself in the Twilight Series one of these days, the one i've been salivating to read since summer. i've been an avid fan of vampires and zombies for all you know. and two others recommended by a friend. oh i am just so excited. believe me.

i'm fed up of bulk of readings. it's time to execute my most awaited escape from those.

and perhaps, i will still sleep at around 4 or 5 AM but not with a PC turned on, this time it's a goody goody date with my fictions. :)
