what do you mean about Owen's decision? like when he decided to be Abby's protector in the end? in my opinion based on the movie itself..maybe he knew deep down that Abby needed him too just as much as he needed her in his life...like they needed each other and eventually he accepted the fact that despite the kind of creature that Abby is, he knew that he wants to be the one who can also defend and protect Abby and that he really cares for her...but then i haven't really read the book so maybe my reasoning is off..hehehe!
So you have got to tell me bakit nga daw???? lol!

Hi Wanda! I'm Chico and we met yesterday at the Nicholas Sparks event.. :)

The last book i read was Chinese Cinderella.. At first, I wanted to read it just for the sake of understanding why my brother is having a hard time finishing his book report. But as i read along the pages, it unmasked the reality that not families have this almost perfect life. It was a sad story for me because a girl at a very young age had to face to many hurdles just for her to be accepted i her own family.

Superb! I don't know but this book gave warmth to me. Collins never failed to give chills down my spine with her one-liner, chapter-ender sentences. If Hunger games ignited a spark, the Catching Fire fueled it, the Mockingjay is like watching the fire burns and succumbs in itself until it was peacefully out. Definitely a must-read series.

Well, yes jquin3 is right. Abby is not actually an Abby. The novel holds more deeper story than it was depicted in a movie. I'd say you have to read it if you want to know what's really going on with Abby and Owen. Hehehe.

Good thing binasa ko yung libro. hahaha!
