Bob Ong

who is bob ong?!

well, he is a human being...i suppose...
oops, no, he IS a human being.
it's just that "bob ong" is his pseudonym.
you know, just like the other revolutionists we had,
bob ong is an author of books which aim to change the people's outlook in life.

i started reading bob ong's works just recently and i found them..."alluring"...
he has this magic in him which hypnotizes the readers.
well, it is not really "hypnotizing" because what he says are true.
but in effect, his words truly are hypnotizing...

i've finished reading ABNKKBSNPLAko?! and it's the book suited for us students.

*bow*

i've never read a book like this. it's like his journal. his OWN journal. but you are attached to it. you are included. one line and it touches your life. especially now that we are graduating.

Bob Ong talks about his life as a student...since he was in kindergarten...until he reached college...and even after college. you see, learning is a lifetime process. he talks about his hardships and achievements. another remarkable thing in this book is his salute to his teachers. and, lastly, the way he felt when he went back to his school (in high school) to get his diploma, years after his HS graduation. i guess we would have the same feeling when we go back to our dear alma mater. "nakabalik nga ako sa lugar. hindi ko na naibalik ang panahon." to all those who are graduating, live your life to the fullest. treasure every moment...for it's a day, an hour, a minute, or a second, that you will never ever get again.

now, i'm reading bakit baliktad magbasa ang pilipino?
and yes, it hit me!
the ones who are giving up...those who are tired of being a filipino will be dead.
not literally of course...their outlook will be changed because bob ong points out that it is great to be a filipino.

i do not intend to plagiarize bob ong's works.
i just want to compile his striking quotes...
hoping that everyone who will visit this site will be inspired.
