I know how it feels to lose someone who meant so much to you. I lost my grandfather a year ago and it was really difficult for me to live my life knowing that I’ll never see him again. I never got the chance to tell him how much I loved him, how much I loved having him around. All the things I wanted him to know have never been revealed for he has left this world that, I now live in. There are so many things I wanted to know but I never got the answers to. It must be really hard for Miles. Especially because he found out that the person who killed his wife was the brother of this one lady that he fell in love with. He had a choice to either throw Brian (the brother of the lady Miles fell in love with) into Jail or believe Brian’s story and let him go, knowing that it was really an accident. The way we live our lives are based on the choices we make.

Chantel Taitano's Comments on Jodi Picoult's the Pact
Title: The Pact: A Love Story
Author: Jodi Picoult
Publisher: William Morrow & Company

There were moments in my life when everything got murky and there were moments where everything got really bright, but that’s just life. You’ll always have your “up and down” times. There were some times in my life when I just wanted it to end - the pain, the frustration, but then again, there are times when I realize how precious “life” really is. Life is God’s gift to every creature, every human that he created in this world. Instead of wasting those moments on pain, anger, and frustration... spend it wisely. Always look at the bright side of things. Always remember that you’re not only hurting yourself, but others as well, when you commit suicide. The Pact showed me what pain could do to some people. Pain could lead to death and death could lead to sorrow. Suicide will never heal the pain, it extends it.

Marjorie Dizo's Thoughts on Dear John
Title: Dear John
Author: Nicholas Sparks

This book is sad book. It’s sad because a guy named John was in love with a lady named Savannah. John is a soldier. While he was deployed, his father had a heart attack. A few months later his father died. After John’s father death, Savannah left John for a guy named Tim. John was devastated with everything that happened, but he has to let it go, because all he wanted was for Savannah to be happy. Till this present-day, Savannah and Tim are together and they’re living happily. John, in the other hand is just waiting and remembering the past of his beloved father and relationship with Savannah.
I have a friend, whose husband is the Marines. Every night they would be talking and arguing. It’s because, maybe my friend’s husband is thinking that she might leave him while he was deployed. Her dad passed away two years ago. This book didn’t have any refection on me, but to my friend. Just reading this book and hearing them argue on the phone gave me goose bumps and thoughts on my mind. What I told my friend was to forgive him and trust him, because I know he doesn’t want to receive a “Dear John” letter.

Odesa Sansi's Thoughts on the NoteBook
Title: The Note Book
Author: Nicholas Sparks
Publisher: Warner books, 1 Edition (February 1, 2004)
Pages: 239 pages
Review By: Odessa Sansi
A love story that made me cry like a baby. I just couldn’t stop reading this book.It’s sad how they thought everything was back in action, and then the bad news hits...she has some kind of sickness that can not be cured, I think it’s an Alzheimer’s disease. This does not stop Noah from trying to get her back to normal, to remember their love story. He tries his best to fight for her, at times it works, but most of the time, doesn’t work out the way he planned. I feel terrible for the poor guy. Ironic how the mom turned out, she actually let sweet Allie follow her heart, which she should have done in the first place.
In the end, she let her choose, instead of her choosing. No happy ending.
