Babaeng misteryosa benjamin pascual biography

It was Seniora dela Merced - a good book too. Anyway, this book's plot scared me I was 13 that time but entertained me as well. The woman in the story was presented as mysterious as she can be with a house so creepy as her back story. But in the end, love prevails. That was a consolation for me Great work and a masterpiece. Eto na siguro ang tunay na 3-star.

Kumbaga, parang hindi mo mawari ano bang mapapala mo dito pero hindi mo parin maiwanan dahil page-turner talaga. Kung sa pagkalibang lang din, perpekto na ang nobela.

Babaeng misteryosa benjamin pascual biography

Sapagkat talaga namang nakakaaliw ang ating less-than-perfect protagonist na mapagpatol sa hamon ng kamatayan. Pati na rin ang kaniyang mga kasamahan na napaka-animated ng kilos at pag-iisip. Yung mga karakter nila, sobrang ganda ng pagkalikha at hinahayaan lang ni Pascual na magkaroon sila ng mga little quirks nila at mga kapintasan. Kahit puro ang tagalog ni Pascual, napakamagaan ng mga salitang ginamit at akma sa present-day na mambabasa tulad ko.

Paborito ko siyempre ay ang mga kakatawang eksena dahil sa palitan ng ismarteng linyahan ng mga karakter. Quick and sharp, 'di na kailangan ng mahabang setup at malakas ang dating. Nagustuhan ko din ang iba't ibang klase ng pag-ibig na pinakita ng awtor - pag-ibig ng ina, ng kapatid, ng asawa, pag-ibig ng kaibigan, ng kabit, pag-ibig sa serbesa - kahit na ang protagonist ay hirap naman malaman kung ano ba ang pag-ibig.

Kung sa pagkalibang at pagkalibang lang din, basahin dapat. At pati na rin para sa pagtangkilik ng nobelang tagalog, basahin dapat. Kung mahilig ka din sa romance novels, basahin dapat. Parang hindi gaano nabago ang buhay ko ng nobela pero aliw na aliw naman ako. I wouldn't be able to write what I thought about 'Ang Babaeng Misteryosa' without first telling how I came across its hardcopy.

Harold first knew or called me as DJ Ela back when we were still workmates. Naturally, we clicked this thing called friendship because of our music tastes that overlap each other. One time, he was having a general cleaning session at home when he told me that he was planning to buy his second copy realizing that he regretted giving away the first one away during a drinking session.

Funny thing is that he was providing the leads of where he can purchase again, not knowing I was already browsing on my own to the online purchase. Later in the day, he told me he is going to buy it next week, but I asked him not to. We both know I am just kidding. Pascual signed this work the way he did his countless others. A Filipino classic.

Words were simple but there was an obvious fusion of languages throughout the pages. I appreciate that it did not go all the way into translation. Goes to show that Pascual experimented and is willing to. The plot was easy to follow; the male lead, very relatable. However, the title character's origin is a sure cliffhanger until the last chapter is over.

Percival Buncab. Author 4 books 37 followers. Gaya ng Lalaki sa Dilim, ang bawat kabanata ng Babaeng Misteryosa ay sapat lamang para ilipat ang mga pahina at sundan ang kuwento hanggang sa dulo. Sa parehong nobela, maaring sabihing kakaiba ang kuwento kumpara sa iba pang nobelang Tagalog. Pero walang espesyal sa pagkukuwento. Malinis magsulat si Pascual.

Ngunit kapansin-pansing maraming mga pangungusap na halata naman ang ibig sabihin, pero pinaliliwanag pa ng kasunod na pangungusap. Aksaya iyon sa salita at oras. Sa typesetting naman, hindi consistent ang istilo sa paggamit ng mga salitang Inggles. May mga salitang direktang hinihiram, mayroon ding binabaybay sa Filipino; may italicized, mayroong hindi.

Hindi rin akma ang pamagat na "Babaeng Misteryosa" dahil ang kuwento'y hindi naman dumaloy kay Magda, kundi kay Cisco. Sa kabuuan, maayos pa rin naman ang kuwento. At gaya ng iba pang katha ni Pascual, may disenteng katapusan, may resolusyon. Nakasulat ang libro sa pov ni Cisco ang bidang lalaki. Habang binabasa mo yung libro mapapaisip ka na lang na may pagka immature pa ang bidang lalaki at may mga pagkakataon pa na di mo sya maintindihan lalo pag nasasaktan sya dahil nakipagbalikan si Christy sa dati nya kasintahan.

Sinabi naman nya na wala sya nararamdaman kay Christy at hindi nya alam ibig sabihin ng "Pag mamahal". Mapride si Cisco ayaw nya natatalo sya pero sa banda dulo nanalo man sya kay kamatayan pero natalo naman sya kay Ramilo. Fair and square. Interesting yung libro nakakatawa na may konti takot sapagkat may hiwaga sa istorya. He kept on thinking about Magda - her beauty, her inheritance from Mr.

Simeon, and her curse. Cisco realized he was up for the challenge: he will marry Magda and prove that not all her husbands will die three months after the marriage. He reminisced that since he was a kid, he had always found himself wanting to be more afraid. The huge difference was back then, he was only afraid of horror stories, and not part of the horror itself.

There were several conflicts that Cisco had to face throughout his course of courting and marrying Magda. Prior to meeting Magda, he had a love affair with one of his co-workers, Cristy. When Cisco married Magda, Aling Menang already considered him dead. She made sure to maintain a lit candle in their altar as a testament to this. To formally express his interest to the mysterious woman, he serenaded her in front of her house.

Internally, it was fueled by his curiosity to know what the Bahay ng Kwago looks like inside - surely it has no colorful and lively interior design - and if the horror tales are true.
