In Five Years by Rebecca Serle

-

Rebecca Serle's In Five Years pretends at first to be a romance novel. The premise: Dani, a career-driven lawyer gets engaged to a guy who is the "right fit" for her. She falls asleep and wakes up five years later finding herself in bed with a totally gorgeous total stranger. Then she wakes up again, returning to the present. Eventually she meets again the stranger in her "dream".

It sounds like a cute rom-com, but nope, it's far from one. In Five Years is actually a story about friendship, and about finding and loving yourself. The bittersweet twist at the end is sad but realistic and satisfying. This is a heartwarming and beautiful read.

Coldplay in Manila

  I watched Coldplay perform here in the Philippines in 2017, and I had the crappiest tickets at the crappiest venue. I think I was standing a kilometer away from the stage. I barely saw anything. At the concert last night, Chris Martin read a poster a girl was holding, and it said, “In 2017, I was at the far back. Now I am this close.” Chris Martin then asked four people sitting on the very, very last row to move to the very front, then proceeded to sing Everglow. I don’t think I ever sobbed so hard during a concert. The first two photos are the ones I took when I attended their 2017 concert in Manila. The next two are from last night. All I know is, whether you’re at the far back or a bit closer to the stage, the magic is the same. Their concerts will always be an adventure of a lifetime.
