Book review: Nakaraanzoned by Rhadson Mendoza

Nakaraanzoned by Rhadson Mendoza | 3.5/5.0

Just like what I promised.  I am going to give a book review about the "Nakaraanzoned" of my dearest friend turned into an author. Naks. 

Do I need to explain to you what Nakaraanzoned is about? The story focuses on love, story about a young online gamer who still can't believe he already lost his 3 years relationship with the one he loves the most, about moving on and finding someone who he deserves. (I thought of Klai- Rhadson's girlfriend while reading the story. Short-haired girl with a chinita pair of eyes hahahaha.)

Basically, I still couldn't figure out the other plots. Cos they aren't clear to me. As a reader, I had dead air while reading the book. And at some point, I almost got bored while reading it. But you know, this is not a typical story. There's always a twist. I don't wanna spoil you so please buy na lang on your own and read it and judge it. 

I recommend this book to my kababayans. Cos the language is tagalog. Lol. It's available at all NBS and Expressions nationwide for only P175, I guess. Hihi.

Synopsis: "Sabi nila, lahat daw ng lalaki ay pare-pareho. Pero handa si Chris, isang part-time student at full-time gamer, na patunayang iba na siya sa mga lalaking iyon, lalo na nang nakilala niya ang isang college student na transferee sa eskuwelahan na pinapasukan niya - si Nikki.

Anong mayroon kay Nikki para mas pillin ni Chris ang realidad kaysa ang larong kinaaadikan niya? Sino si Rayne, at bakit isa siyang school supply? Pero bakit may something na kakaiba kay Daniel sa tuwing lalapit siya kay Rayne?

At bakit ansarap-sarap balikan ang nakaraan kaysa harapin ang kasalukuyan?"

Time is running so fast. It's been 4 months since I started going to dorm. I already miss home. I am a little bit sad going back to dorm after work cos I know Mom isn't around. No one will cook food for me. No one will say, "Take care! Go home early!"

Saturday. Woke up at 6:30am. Set my alarm snooze after 30 mins. But I think I had a deep sleep that I didn't hear my phone ring. I rose 8:30am. Already late. So I decided to skip morning office hours and browsed through my friends' facebook accounts. Sleepy, I tried to sleep but then I couldn't. Packed my things and took a bath. I'm going home now. (Weekly routine) Hihi. But I thought I was too early so I captured few shots from my phone and posted it on my IG account. So yeah. This is my OOTD for today. Simple jeans. I am also wearing my old but super cute shoes! Yay. 

I miss mom. I really can't wait to go home and see her.

Boyfriend wasn't able to pick me up after work hours and cancelled our movie plans yesterday. So for "suhol" he bought this book and wahtt! This really made me happy.  Tho, I really wanna watch "left behind" huhuhuhu. I guess, next na lang.

I found another reason to lose sleep. HAHAHAHA. Gonna post book review soon!

PS. Hi. Jennifer Smith, finally. I already have a personal copy of your book. I am a little bit sad knowing I saw you and took a picture with you but I didn't get to sign this book. Too late. Hay. Btw, till next time! <3

Jeremiah 29:11

I was waiting for my turn. Window number 1, patient number 50. 10 patients to go. I was a little bit scared and worried. I was afraid of needles, bloods, stitches, doctors and hospital. And yet, I was there. Waiting to be called.

The doctor said they don't know my condition. That, that was the first time they encountered such "bukol" or "lumps" or "bumps" or whatsoever you call it. Instead, they offered me to undergo a surgery. Under anesthesia, of course. At first, I was like, "WHAAAT? AGAD AGAD?" but I kept my mouth shut. 

I went home, got rest, and talked to my parents. They said, they would not allow me to undergo that surgery. They want a second opinion. I agreed. So I am planning again to file a leave at work and find a good and reliable hospital. In God's grace. 

For now, I am keeping my faith still. I don't even know if my condition is malignant or benign.  I trust His plans for me. Whatever it is. I am still hoping. 

Jeremiah 29:11

"For I know the plans I have for you", declares the LORD. "Plans to prosper and not to harm you. Plans to give you hope and a future."

It was so good to be back again at Cainta, Rizal. Not to just visit a good friend of mine but also to interview him about his success and his book. 

Thank you so much Mr. Rhadson Mendoza for your time and for being thoughtful to our needs and school requirements. Thank you so much for cooperating and answering every question we made for you! You're really awesome and you know how to look back where you came from and stay the same. Super kudos for you and for your family for the warm welcome!

Also, thank you for the free book! The "Nakaraazoned"

I don't need to buy your second book hahaha thank you! (promise, i will take a picture din of your book sa personal. for know, nakaw muna sa wall mo. and promise, i will blog about it and have a review. promise!) hihihihihi. And promise na promise, i will buy your first book and pa-autograph ahh! ♥ Hihi. 

Salamat at di ka nagbago sa kung anong nasimulan nating friendship. Thank you kasi pinaunlakan mo ang invitation namin na maisama ka sa docu namin. :-) Sa uulitin. Haha. 

a fine, sweet, fun night 9.20.14

Me and my highschool buddies, planned to go to the mall last Saturday to have some fun and release our stress from school and office. It's nice to get along with my fave people. I missed them super hard cause we don't really have a time to spend our Saturday like this. Also, I really appreciated their efforts to go to Manila and see me. To my boyfriend, who never leave my side. Thanks to you, too hihihi. so much love.

(My friends were annoyed at me because of my skin complexion. Ang puti ko daw! All thanks to the flash hahahahaha.)

(My boyfriend loves to take pictures of me. Seriously! But I am not gonna post the stolen one. I looked like an alien. Hahahaha.)

(And this is the highlight of our trip. We saw Jennifer E. Smith. The author of "Statistical Probability of Love At First Sight", "The Geography Of You And Me", and "This What Happy Looks Like". I am her super fan hahahahaha lol her books are my faves! Seriously! <3 <3 <3 And she's so approachable. Grabe. I love her to bits. Hihihi.

PS. My highschool buddies still looks like young, They are all adorbs! <3)

All photos were taken by iPod 5th gen so sorry for the low quality. :(

1 Peter 5:7

(oh okay, this is awkward. but i just felt an urge to share this, so yeah)

                 i was diagnosed for having a tumor inside my body (im not gonna tell which part cos that's very private, if you know what i mean), and it's getting bigger and bigger and bigger and made me cry an ocean. it's hard to even pee or sit or poop and i cant even touch it and examine myself cos super sakit talaga. i am praying so hard cos i am afraid and i am thinking that this is fatal, that this is the reason of my weight loss, my stress, my overthinking. but i am already claiming that He is my healer. i should look on the brighter side.

                 i was a little bit worried about my condition but God reminded me i should not. i tried searching on the internet for any bible verses applicable in my situation. then there's 1Peter5:7, saying, "Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you." aww. great, yeah? i am so blessed and loved. <3 <3

                 i know God has better plans for me. i know He's just preparing me for a better place. one of these days, i am okay, i am new. i am healed.
