About Me

"I always believe in LOVE STORIES and HAPPILY-EVER-AFTER. I always believe in FAIRYTALES and FICTIONS. I always believe in YOU and ME equals LOVE. All you need is a MIND that can PERCEIVE and a heart that always BELIEVE." I want to meet people with the same interest like me, people who can inspire someone/somebody. Meeting people is growing up. Growing up is maturity. Maturity means GOODNESS :3

FAITH ABOVE FAME. :)

We were wandering around SM Calamba, looking for the National Bookstore.
I was really fond of reading books to ease and relax my mind, broaden my reading and comprehension skills and of course, to enjoy. Suddenly, we passed by a BookSale(a store that bargains old stocks but real good books). And of course, being a book enthusiast, i hurriedly asked my peeps to wait for me coz i wanna buy a book.

I was scanning book by book when i bumped into a book entitled "The Christmas Box".
I hold it right in my hand and remembered that it was almost Christmas, and it's a good thing to read a story that will set my mood in this incoming holiday. But of course, i wanted to get best books so i searched again trying, to find better book from the one i'm holding. I looked shelves by shelves and saw the book "Blooded".
It's a novel subjecting vampires. At this time, we all know that vampire stories were a hit. But then, after troubling myself, i decided to buy the first one.
In my mind, it goes, "What's the sense of knowing vampires? Getting inspired and knowing real Christmas stories is worth bragging about."






The Christmas Box

“Whatever the reason, I find that with each passing Christmas the story of The Christmas Box is told less and needed more. So I record it now for all future generations to accept or dismiss as seems them good. As for me, I believe. And it is, after all, my story.”

Summary

So begins The Christmas Box, the touching story of a widow and the young family who moves in with her. Rick, Keri, and their 4-year-old daughter, Jenna, are hired as caretakers and are welcomed into the Victorian home of Mary Parkins, an elderly widow, just before the holiday season. As the relationship between Mary and the family develops we learn that Mary’s past sorrows are compelling her to share an important message with Richard. But will he understand her message in time? A heartwarming story of parental love, healing, and Christmas.
