Someday

It's another Thursday night here in the UAE; a night were everyone is gearing up for a late night party or gimmick and here I am whiling the time in front of my notebook. My fingers and mind are synchronized as the former taps away while the latter dictates the thoughts it would like to convey.

What do you do when you're all alone? In my teen years, I used to lock myself in my room and watch all the movies I could catch up on cable and when I can't find a good flick, I turned to reading. Websters dictionary always came handy and it's my favorite book of all time. I have all sorts of reading materials as well; from Sunday school pamphlets, story books, comic books to thick fictional pocket books. I still carry the love of reading until now as it's a good way to let the mind wander to a world you've never been and come back filled with unfathomable experience.

Where do you go when you're by yourself? At certain times, I'd hit the mall and keep my eyes busy on things I might consider buying but I always end up staying longer in bookstores (haha). Most of the time, I stay in my room...on my bed with a book on hand.

Yes, I'm a bookworm; it keeps me sane. When I'm down, I'd just pick up a book and there I am, engrossed and so carried away by the story. In college, I got the excitement of reading John Grisham, Sidney Sheldon, Tom Clancy and anything relating to law and order. For romance, I got a dose of Danielle Steel, Jude Deveraux and the likes.

The list of authors can go on and on until I got hold of Paulo Coelho's novels. His writings are reality-based and inspiring; simple and sensible. I wish I could get his signature on one of his books that is in my property.

Someday, I might just have to write one book. Yes, I might just do that and be able to inspire people. This night might pave the way for that SOMEDAY.
