being fed up with all the overwhelming stuff i was reading for my term paper, i mindlessly typed "jessica zafra" on the OPAC one lazy afternoon at the main library when i was supposed to search for some books on post- cold war cuban-russian diplomatic relations. OPAC gave me 9 or 12 searches, most of them were either loaned or i've already read. but one of which (chicken pox for the soul) i haven't read or even seen before in any bookshops so i decided to borrow it. sa ibang schools, harry potter at nancy drew ang idea ng "leasure readings" na makikita sa kanilang library, pero sa UP intelektwal pa din ang mga bababasahing pampalipas oras na inooffer ng main lib. hehehe. as always, this chicken soup for the soul parody is sarcastically humorous yet very sensible. i'm sharing some of the books most profound thoughts and i hope this could help you in your daily endeavors. hehehe
- Greasy food might not be good for your body, but it does wonders for the soul. A healthy diet may prolong your life, but what would you have to live for? what is the point of living to a hundred if you have to subsist on bland food? one may as well die of boredom.
-Whining is a form of manipulation. People will give anything to make you shut up. (this is the art i must learn to master)
-Complaining is fun.
- The basic difference betwen men and women is this. When men see a naked woman, they shut up. When women see a naked man, they automatically laugh.
- The uglier the guy, the greater the probability that he thinks he's God's gift to women. (amen!)
- All good men are either taken or gay. (amen again!)
- Between you (in this case, me.haha!) and an insipid girl who is easy to control, a guy will choose the insipid girl who is easy to control.
- Fashion is cyclical. This means that double-knit-bell-bottoms will return to torment you.
- Someday extraterrestrials poking in the rubble of our civilization will discover fragments of pop culture. Then shall Barry Manilow be enshrined as a great artist.
- Censorship is a stopper up your butt. It causes the crap to back up into your brain, turning you into a moron.
- The question is not why fools fall in love. It is expected of them. When "smart" people fall in love- that's the problem.
- The trouble with "mutual understanding" is that it often turns out to be a unilateral delusion.
life changing, aren't they?hehehe...long live the queen of universal domination!!
