I’m always wary about filipino writers. when I’ve heard of jessica zafra I thought she’s one of those writers who got famous by writing poetic lines and exhausting their broad vocabulary. I could write better, i thought.

my mistake was to avoid her book.

My brother bought a Twisted 7. I think it was a compilation of articles in a magazine (I haven’t read the whole book yet, I’ll tell you why). I picked the book and attempted to know why is jessica zafra in every national book store. I browse at the book and came across an article in tittled "To live and die for rock and roll". I started to read the article and tried to understand what jessica was saying. An thirty minutes later I was finishing a fourth article. WOW. I can’t put the book down. I was mesmerized by the way she write. Then I look at my self as a puny blogger and said ‘i can never be anything like jessica’.

Jessica Zafra knows what she is writing. She’s not bias, although she has her favorites. She talks about almost anything under the sun. She is not afraid to say what she wants to say; i don’t think she ever has to be, the truth of what she’s saying is undeniable. She lays down the words that the topic becomes more interesting. She enjoys what she does, and in turn, shares some fun to us.

The Phillipine music, film, arts and literature has long been defiled by weired human beings hungry for fame and money and other things I cannot fathom. I don’t hate Filipino artist, in fact I search for those few good ones… and also, I fancied that I could be one of them. FIlipinos needs someone like her, no, the world needs someone like her.

… i’m sorry I compared my self to her, and even dreamed to be a writer.
