Quintessential

Every moment is a fresh beginning.

Since I’m not really fond of reading books, it has been difficult for me to think of an idea for our page that will help our co-Brahman students to get interested in reading. Luckily, I found something interesting in my room that gave me an idea on what could be the concept of my post for our page.

I was organizing my stuffs this morning when I found an old gift from my classmate in grade school. It was my first ever bookmark personally made by my classmate. It is made out of illustration board that is 7 inches long and 3 inches wide, painted with bright colors like that of a rainbow and those colors were used as its background. On it was a quote inscribed that reads, “There is no friend as loyal as a book.” I used it for a couple of times before and then I somehow forgotten about its existence when I reached Junior High. But what is intriguing about this bookmark is that whenever I see it lying in my study table, it boosts my curiosity to read a book. Its colorful design and decoration pleasing in the eye served as a food starter to my brain that always stimulates my appetite upon reading books. It is effective though, as I can remember, because of the magic of the bookmark I was able to read about 2 to 3 books a week. Sadly, it didn’t last for long and staring at the bookmark now brings back good memories when reading was kind of my hobby before.

From this experience I thought maybe bookmarks really bring magic to people or maybe it’s just my wild imagination that hyped me up to read books before. Anyway, with all of that I come up with an idea of making some bookmarks because I thought maybe it will help you to get interested in reading books too as it is to me when I was still in grade school. I know it’s kinda silly but who knows if it might work or not? You gotta give it a try. Still, I’m going to leave these bookmarks here and let it pull off its magic.
