a FoOLisH pErsOn's eXpeRiEncE (not worth reading)

I read Eragon during the days of our periodical exams and to tell you the truth I prioritized reading this than reading my El Filibusterismo. hehehMy time table had been made. Saturday was allotted for Filipino and Physics while sunday is vacated for Calculus. Unfortunately, the book was glued to my hands. I can't take it off. I was tempted to skim through the pages because the cover really enticed me to do so. But, my plan failed and there was no Plan B. Instead, I read the book and finished it overnight. I repeat, overnight. Imagine reading a 800-page book for just 2 days and one night. That was a heavy task, putting in mind the remaining responsibilities you need to attend to.My effort was not a waste. I really enjoyed reading it. The book was so well done and it seemed that I was a part of the story. The setting was described vividly I could imagine the location right before my very eyes. Well, it will not serve me good if I will keep this experience for myself. I recommend this book for fiction-lovers like me. The story does not only cater to teens but also to children. You can pick up many useful values which may come in handy. Many twists will surface as you finish the novel.Betrayals, friendship and love. Those were just a few of the interesting things that were included in the novel. The ending left me breathless. I wanted more. The ending was so hanging. There are so many questions left unanswered. So many secrets still to be revealed. I guess that is because the story is a trilogy. You can't expect the story to finish in book one.After I read the book I felt guilty. I have so many tasks left undone. I went to my room to compose myself but what welcomed me was a bunch of used clothings, a pile of unopened books and a super messy bed. I can't imagine the look in my mom's face when she gets to see it. My aim, to compose myself, was very far from reality if I will stay in that messy room. So, I went down to the kitchen to replenish myself but the plates and glassess were left scattered in the kitchen sink. After a few murmur of curses, I realized that it was my assigned day to wash the dishes. Just what I needed, a pair of unfinished chores plus a stack of unread notes. Pressure was creeping on me. I didn't know what to do, what to finish first and what to finish last. With all these things crawling in my mind plus the fact that my mom will be arriving soon; this is the perfect mathematic equation. Even Einstein will feel uneasy.Thats what you get for doing things that are not supposed to be done. I just wanted to post this blog so that people will get to realize the importance of time management. One good advice from let's say a well experienced person in this field(me), never follow the foolish guy's deed for God's sake. Following him will make you less a Upian. Trust me!
