ever since my past friendster days, getting tagged by someone else has always been fun for me. here i was tagged by zi of f-cking glitter to answer these questions about my favorite books and writer:
my favorite book until today is your best life now, written by the famous pastor joel osteen of lakewood church. (faithWords, 2004) although not many had thrown critics toward the book, i myself find those positive words and declarations of faith as very inspiring ones.
the one i remember until today is his suggestion on finding a place to dream, to nourish your visions and build optimistic views for a great future ahead.
fashion-wise, this book by nina garcia titled the one hundred (harpercollins, 2008) is also like my second bible. i also adore the illustration by ruben toledo. he's really talented!
perhaps this was one of the reasons why i'm in love with fashion until today. i told you already, my passion in fashion is newly-found! ;)
my favorite writer is tracy chevalier, the one who wrote the famous girl with a pearl earring (harpercollins, 1999), a complicated fictional slight-romance story between griet the maid and the iconic 40s dutch painter johannes vermeer. i love the way she described things; a bit poetical, but meaningful enough to be understood.
now to the part about what do i love and hate in common:
i love everything about art and poetry. i enjoy seeing things in a very different way, and i really like the facts that things are not actually as simple as they are in the surface.
i love rainy weather, too, i love sleeping when it rains. i prefer very sunny weather for holidays.
i hate... well, quite common. two-faced people and those who are hard to tell. those whose words i can't really trust, or those who thinks that there are always justifications for their wrong doings. i really dislike lack of inspiration, too.
now, i'd tag whoever like to be tagged; and if any of you have done so, please kindly link me to your entry. i'd love to know more about all of you! :)
