The Notebook.

I have read the book three times.  Watched the movie more than once.  I still want to watch it over and over again.  It’s the perfect movie for a hope full romantic such as myself.

When I read books, it’s impossible to see it clean.  I underline phrases, encircle words, and add punctuations to certain sentences.  It helps me remember a particular thought when I come across a particular line.  That’s the main reason why I still love the feel of books in my hands.  It’s like holding on to a certain story and learning from it.

Call me mushy and all, but here are some my favorite quotes.

“You are, and always have been, my dream.”

“You can’t live your life for other people. You’ve got to do what’s right for you, even if it hurts some people you love.”

“So it’s not gonna be easy. It’s going to be really hard; we’re gonna have to work at this everyday, but I want to do that because I want you. I want all of you, forever, everyday. You and me… everyday.”

“In times of grief and sorrow I will hold you and rock you and take your grief and make it my own. When you cry I cry and when you hurt I hurt. And together we will try to hold back the floods to tears and despair and make it through the pothole street of life”

A bride once asked me if I could compose a vow for her.  I guess the events of that day frazzled her too much, she just couldn’t think straight.  At first I agreed, but I changed my mind because it’d be giving away the VOW I have composed carefully in my head for that PERFECT man I want to be with every day.
