Boy meets Boy by David Levithan

This is the story of Paul, a sophomore at a high school like no other: The cheerleaders ride Harleys, the homecoming queen used to be a guy named Daryl (she now prefers Infinite Darlene and is also the star quarterback), and the gay-straight alliance was formed to help the straight kids learn how to dance. 

When Paul meets Noah, he thinks he’s found the one his heart is made for. Until he blows it. The school bookie says the odds are 12-to-1 against him getting Noah back, but Paul’s not giving up without playing his love really loud. His best friend Joni might be drifting away, his other best friend Tony might be dealing with ultra-religious parents, and his ex-boyfriend Kyle might not be going away anytime soon, but sometimes everything needs to fall apart before it can really fit together right.

This is a happy-meaningful romantic comedy about finding love, losing love, and doing what it takes to get love back in a crazy-wonderful world. -goodreads



*Yes guys, spoilers alert* 


I am very overwhelmed because of this book. I loved David Levithan since Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist & Naomi and Ely's No Kiss List but I love him even more because of this.

I realized that Paul's town is a happy land for the LGBT Community. Paul is loved by his family. They know that he is gay but they accepted him eversince. They never tried to put him down. They embraced him wholly. Also, in his school they are free. Everyone can be their selves though there are still kids who are confused with who they really are (sounds like real life right?)

I cannot help but wish that some day when I wake up I am already living in a world where Paul lives. I wish this for all my awesome friends and loved ones. "They don't need to be perfect but they can be their selves." :)

Paul is a strong and happy person. He loves organizing things (reminds me a lot of many of my gay friends.) When they organize something, it is always fabulous and fun. They are very talented like Paul.
Paul is a very good friend to everybody, he listens whenever someone needs to let all their feelings out.

Infinite Darlene. I love her openness to everything. I think she is really the representation for EQUALITY. Darlene is very gay but s/he is also the quarterback. How awesome is that? As in, I can imagine this book turned into a movie. So cute!

Kyle. more people are like him. Confused about who  he is or who will he be in front of the society...

Joni. I love her even if she's kinda stubborn. she's the girl bestfriend of Paul.

Amber. She is really a strong willed girl, love her too.

We have a crazy world but I want to believe that it is a wonderful place too. If we can just learn to respect and accept everybody like the characters in Boy meets Boy. I recommend it to everyone. :)

Before I post this entry, I'm so happy to find this! Go Anne!

Pro-Family, Pro-Marriage, Pro-gay PRO Equality


Pro-Family, Pro-Marriage, Pro-gay (LGBT)

This video is circulating in Australia to educate the public about love, family values, friendship, marriage and everything else wherein it shows that the LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender) community deserves it too.

I strongly fight for our world to embrace equality esp. for our adorable LGBT friends. I may not fully understand what they feel because I am not on their shoes. I may not feel it directly but I am a witness when people disrespect my gay friends. It hurts. My friends might not show it but I know that deep inside it is killing them.

I really pray that one day I will wake up in a world where people would respect and accept each other for who they are. I know God is listening to my prayer and I hope you'll pray with me so that He can hear it more. Don't worry guys because I know that Our Father up there is listening intently. The God I know believes that we should stand up for something and He DOESN'T JUDGE. He will love you whoever you are. :)

Respect



We should all learn to stand up for something! :)

We should respect everyone and give everyone a chance to live in a place where we will be accepted and be treated with respect. Belittling other people will never make you a better person.

LOVE and RESPECT!
