Rules: List 10 books that have made an impact on you. They dont have to be the right books or works of literature, just one that have affected you in some way. Tag 10 friends including me. Im not sure if I should thank you or not Mark Ysla haha! (In no particular order) 1. Noli Me Tangere- Jose Rizal (A novel depicting Philippine society during Spanish colonization. A required text book in my high school and eventually I had to teach this to my students when I became a high school teacher.) 2. Dekada 70- Lualhati Bautista (A story of a family during Martial Law era in the Philippines. I could visualize it well inside my head and I was really moved by this novel.) 3. Contemporary Linguistics: An Introduction- William OGrady (2011) (My first encounter with phonology, phonetics, morphology, syntax, semantics... I got interested to the field of linguistics, which I am pursuing now and soon to finish!) 4. Secret Garden Frances Hodgson Burnett (The very first English novel Ive read and finished (with the help of Webster Dictionary!)) 5. Tuesdays with Morrie- Mitch Albom (A story about death and how to live life) 6. Five People You Meet in Heaven- Mitch Albom (The message I got from this book was that there is no accidental meeting here on earth. Every single person we meet here will have an impact in our life.) 7. Tagalog-English/English-Tagalog Dictionary- Fr. Leo James English (The very first book/dictionary I purchased using my personal money I got from a scholarship. I still consult this even it is already torn into pieces.) 8. The Little Prince- Antoine de Saint-Exupéry (Ive read this in high school, university and graduate school (Korean version). It doesnt fail to amuse me and give different perspectives in life. I have to read the Filipino version soon!!!) 9. Bakit Hindi ka Crush ng Crush mo? (Book edition)-Ramon Bautista (rough translation: Why you are not admired by the person you admire?) (It really affected me!hahaha end of story!) 10. One Hundred Years of Solitude- Gabriel Garcia Marquez (This book introduced me the concept of magic realism and the cycle of solitude) Its your turn Zarina Kristina Mitch Jeff Mario 박주디 Christine Steph Young Rim Kim Gilda
