Hope for the Flowers

  

Hi guys! We just got back from  San Juan Surf Resort in La union where we surfed the entire weekend... I just wanted to share with you this wonderful short story I read...

I read this book way back in 2002 when I was a Quality Monitoring Specialist at Etelecare. It was my QM TL at that time who lent me her book which I thoroughly enjoyed. Years passed and I saw this book again on one of the shelves of Powerbooks (early 2006). Without much deliberation, I decided to get a copy of my own for posterity’s sake. It took me more than a year before I opened it and read it again. 

The First Assistant by Clare Naylor and Mimi Hare

The First Assistant is one of those books I bought at TRINOMA back in June. It's just now that I finished reading it, thanks to the horrendous traffic earlier at SLEX. The Human Walrus blogged about it and I truly share his sentiments. The novel was a fun read for me. I actually thought of acquiring such a job in Hollywood too (Not here in the Philippines, please! Even if it meant hobnobbing with our local celebs who, in my opinion, are a bunch of snotty pricks in real life...ok, most of them, that is.), in between pages of the main character's whirlwind of a so-called pathetically blessed life.
