Assalamualaikum! :) "You can be mama's boy or you can be daddy's boy, but you can't be both."      I bought this book long time ago, when I went to that Big Bad Wolf Book Fair last semester. For I was so caught up with so many things before, I haven't had the chance to read it until now. (Hah, alasan!  :P) I even borrowed it to two of my friends before I even read it, haha. Okay, For One More Day, written by Mitch Albom is a story of a mother and a son. If you are a keen reader you would know Mitch Albom from his famous book, The Five People You Meet in Heaven.      Okay, the story. Charley Benetto grew up looking up to his father.

It's good to know that I do have readers. Hew hew. And it is interesting to know what the readers actually thought of your writing.      I rarely update my blog nowadays. Not as frequent as I used to. Why? I don't know. I do have things to write about. Sad. Happy. Things in between. Random stuff.

I used to be able to write what I feel. Used to. Sometimes I am amazed by how my writing can actually understands my thoughts better than my verbal words.
