I want to write not because I'm good at it but because I'm jealous. I'm envious of people who have the power to express their zaniest ideas into writing ...

Here are some of the writers I'm most envious of ...

1. Sophie Kinsella
Her stories are simple, fun and light. They're easy reads. I don't really have to stress myself out. I'm so amazed at how she can make simple things sound so funny. She manages to express, through her female protagonists, how a woman really thinks and feels. It's good to know that I'm not the only one who thinks strangely. Not that I'm a shopaholic, but I think I'm 80% Rebecca.

2. Jessica Zafra
When it comes to short twisted articles, she's the majesty queen. I remember saving up my allowance just to buy all the TWISTED compilations, which, by the way, are all missing -- paging all my college buddies -- come out, come out wherever you are  ....
I want her brain ... she's a genius ... she writes so effortlessly ...

3. Bo Sanchez
His articles are so cute ... uuuuhhmmmm ... sorry that's the best adjective I can think of. In my previous post, I mentioned about being at a religion crossroad ... but every time I remember his articles,  I think that he is right ... our relationship with the creator ... should be light, free ... like our relationship with our friends .. that simple ... In his articles, he relates God to the simplest everyday tasks he does ... not so grand ... just plain and CUTE ...

4. Pam Pastor
One lazy afternoon, I ended up buying her papercuts compilation instead of getting my toenails done. I didn't regret it. Even though my toenails look horrendous now, I enjoyed her articles. I adore her style. I'm also so happy to know that I'm not the only klutziness queen. I'm so glad to share my throne.

I read her blog accidentally. I was looking for a review on one Baguio restaurant and I stumbled on her blog. Her diary entries aren't mostly resto related. Her blog is mostly about her family and some cosmetics stuff but I hope she does more food tripping adventures 'coz I love how she reviews restaurants. She writes about these restos without pretensions, nothing fancy, just plain old view on what she thinks about them. . Oh, and she's an ukay fan, too. The stingy person that I am, ukay is my haven.
