HIS LVL IS OVER 10000000000000

Dear readers,

              Let’s talk about NVM Gonzalez shall we? The first time I ever saw his name, I immediately thought the words “never mind” don’t tell me that didn’t occur to you dear reader. All of you are internet savvy people judging from the fact that you can access my blog right now. His name was the reason I picked him to be the author that I would write about, I was never really expecting all the things I found out about him. He is apparently a very awesome novelist. The man is a National Artist for pete’s sake! I mean come on! I aspire to be like him, a great writer who has achieved so many things and published so many of his work. Whilst I have not even shown anyone my literary works in fear of being shunned for my mediocre work. Let me tell you this guys, it takes lots of guts to publish your work out there in the open.

              The more I read about this guy, the more amazed I get by him. Not only was he a novelist, he was also a poet and a musician! (I may or may not be fangirling right now) He made four freaking guitars! He played the violin! Urgghhhhh! I want to pull hair out! I feel so unaccomplished. So unproductive, which I actually am. This guy is the freaking ultimate. He was the first president for the Philippine Writers’ Association he even taught at the University of the Philippines without a degree. I REAPEAT. HE TAUGHT WITHOUT A STUPID DEGREE. How radical is that? VERY I tell you. Very much so. Unfortunately he has already passed and I will never be able to meet him. But if I am ever to be given three wishes, I would totally wish to meet and learn from him. Teach me your ways O sensei.
