happy endings, is there such thing?

well, yes..maybe.. when good things end, that's bad. when bad things end, that's good. sounds really ironic but makes a lot of sense. i don't want to go on talking about my past again (as in way, way back). i bumped (no, i didn't just bumped into someone. it's appropriate to insert the phrase "and then we kissed" about the "bump" scene i had with this someone) into someone last week and i thought "this is it.." right.. he texted me on tuesday or wednesday.. i dunno.. and that's it.. he never bothered reaching out to me again.. hello? am i the guy here? should i be the first one to approach? duh!

anyway..

i found a book entitled Happy Endings by Luis Katigbak. i am very much familiar with the author (not that i know him personally). it's because i stumbled upon his book "The King of Nothing to do" while strolling along the Filipiniana section of the university library. i spent a lot of time there since i am a phil. studies major. i just grabbed the book because of its cute cover (i do judge a book by its cover!). i liked it and even got inspired to write a looong entry on my multiply blog. then i also stumbled upon his blog (i don't remember how). one of his entries is about the new book "Happy Endings". i tried looking for it in national bookstore but as expected there are limited filipiniana books there. yesterday afternoon, i dropped by sm mega for some business. i went through the power books entrance since it's the neares entrance from mrt station. i just couldn't help it but go directly to filipiniana section. i have no particular book in mind. i just know at that time that i was looking for something in that section. then i saw happy endings! yey! without a second thought, i charged it on my credit card (even if it's only 200 pesos). it's definitely a good buy.. i'm almost done with it.. tsk..i have to figure out how to drop it.. i have business matters to attend to.. i hope luis katigbak writes a novel related to one of the short stories there..
