Leah’s comments from the The Weird Box group.

Hey, I'm back! I just wanna say that I already get a job! It's so cool. But as expected, it's kinda stressful. And now that I have a job (that keeps me busy), my book reading time is lessen. I can only read on Sundays... I guess I'll just make it work...
How's everyone doing?

I am reading Insurgent (the sequel to Divergent by Veronica Roth). I love Tris' character. She's tough and weak at the same time. I wanna be like that. I'm really into reading YAs. I'm not a teenager anymore but reading YA novels shows me what I lost on my teenage years (though I'm not regretting anything). I was a very behaved teenager before. I never break rules. I only had few friends. And i'm a geek back then. it's a little boring but I don't regret any of it. I'm just not into regretting stuffs in the past because really, I can't do anything about it. Anyway, reading YA novels gives me excitement and it makes me feel young. Well, I'm a little young at heart so I guess that's why I like them.

Okay! I already said on my introduction that i love music. So that's why I am here right now. I don't have a specific genre that I like. The type of songs I listen depends on my mood. I like Taylor Swift (yeah I know! A little cliche). Well it's only because her songs A Place in this World and The Outside are the first songs that I could relate to. I was in my first year of college at that time so it's a little hard with the new environment and people I didn't know. The n her song Never Grow Up touched me big time. So I guess that's why I like her. I can relate to her songs (well not the break up songs 'cause I never had a relationship before). I also like Kate Voegele's music. She has great talent on songwriting. Her song Sweet Silver Lining has always been the soundtrack of my life (I love the lyrics "I maybe weak but I'm never defeated"). Right now, I really can relate to her song Sandcastles (with the lyrics "I'd rather make sandcastles instead of this wide-world decisions"). I find the love song "To Make You Feel My Love" really romantic. Right now, my playlist includes Demi Lovato's songs from her new album DEMI (I also like her 'cause of her song "Believe in Me"). I have some Imagine Dragons, Jason Mraz, P!nk, Bridgit Mendler, and He Is We too. I also listen to classical music (Mozart, Beethoven, Chopin, Handel, Tchaikovsky). It relaxes me and I learned that it's good for the brain. I'm also into movie soundtracks.I just love them!

And oh! I also love music. I listen to any genre of songs. I love song lyrics a lot. Especially those that I can relate to. I Love the color yellow 'cause it's a happy color. And the color of wisdom. Someday, I would want to travel to different countries like those in Europe. I want to be the type of person who is "going places"
I collect quotes from the books I read. And I am a daydreamer. I also make lucky stars origami. I write my wishes and thoughts there and I collect them in a jar. Okay, I guess that's it! (^-^)v

Hello! I'm Leah Ann from the Philippines. I'm 22 and I am an electronics engineer. I love reading a lot. And I wanna be a writer. But sadly, I don't have much time for that. This group came at a very right time because I have been feeling down lately. I am still looking for a job but I feel it's taking a little long. I feel stuck. I hate it when time passes by and i don't have anything to do. I am a little weird because I love reading a lot. Not that it's a bad thing. Reading makes me feel good. It gives me hope and it was sort of an escape route for me. My life right now is a little boring. And I feel useless. Anyway, thank you for inviting me in this group (it was Elena who invited me). I hope I can find friends here!!!
