last song syndrome: restless hearts’ when she cries
current reading: dinner with a perfect stranger by david gregory.
yes, yes, the LSS is brought by watching the bruce-wendy thing on pinoy big brother. the subject of love is a big juicy controversy in the big brother set-up. but the song is good. i really like it. the way i like fra lippo lippi songs.

anyway, my current reading is highly recommended. actually, i enjoyed the book so much, im re-reading it. here’s why: what would you do if you were invited to dinner with a man claiming to be Jesus? the character, nick cominsky, decides to play along thinking the whole thing is a joke cooked up by his friends. yes, he was wrong and had the most astounding, meaningful conversation of his life. he finds it was indeed an invitation worth considering.
the book provides a crash course on comparative religion, philosophy, physics, table manners and on how to keep your cool during a debate. the teacher is no less than the greatest teacher in the history of mankind, Jesus Christ. definitely appealing to the argumentative intellectual skeptics, (isn’t that redundant? intellectuals ARE skeptics.) the kind who dissect everything for viable evidence and refute all statements lacking logic. the most difficult people to persuade. the character is just that. his mind is a hard case to crack. in the end, the conversation hit him all over, mind and heart.
this book could be the cure to your da vinci code-bothered brain, if that means anything to you. the book is just over a hundred pages, really thin and really small. it’s in inconspicuous navy blue. the title itself is not threatening. that’s a relief for those who are foreseeing a potential embarrassing moment getting caught reading a “Jesus book.” though I personally find the source of such embarrassment rather irrational. I mean, get caught with something Jesus related and everybody smirks with “Yeah right!” all over their face. get caught with something porn related and everybody has a heyday. haha
the book only costs 65 pesos at national bookstore since it’s on sale. so go ahead and eavesdrop! let me leave you with some words directly off the book.
“You’re worried about God stealing your fun, but you’ve got it backward. You’re like a kid who doesn’t want to leave for Disney World because he’s having fun making mud pies by the kerb.”
It isn’t mass murder that destroys the world. It’s selfishness, resentment, envy, pride- all the daily sins of the heart.”
