will pick this one up when payday arrives. =) i like reading Youngblood. if i have the guts i would submit my own life story but it’s way better for it to be turned into a telenovela or one sappy movie. hehehe…

I hope you will take some time to edit each of your posts. There are glaring grammatical errors and typos in your posts that one will find disappointing especially in a book review blog.

i still have opium dreams of making it to Youngblood, but reading the column when i get the chance really depresses me—i’m the sort of reader who goes down on her knees when reading particularly good stuff, worshipping but discouraged…i back down and don’t try to write as well.

emo! anyways, please do visit me. i’ve linked up your nice stie already. ^_^

woh!? i got a copy of this book Youngblood 3 and it’s one of the attractions in a mini shelf over my table. Everyone finds it simply tempting and i often found them scanning the pages of it. i also have the 1st edition of it and im craving to own the 2nd one only that i counldn’t find it in the circulation anymore. Anyone there can help me or atleast lend me his? thanks and good day! im jeffrey and this is my email add: jepoydprime@yahoo.com

So who’s that teacher?

It’s Bing Bing Caparas from IEP.

I love Youngblood! I got hooked to it when I was yet starting college, way back early 90’s and I have probably read the very first articles.

I used to borrow old newpaper compilations from the library and photocopy them so I’ll have my own copy.

After college, my dad preferred another article so I had to surf the net to be able to read them. Computers were not yet that common at the time, much more a printer in homes. So, I had to tape myself reading the articles and type them so I could continue my compilation.

But I got busy during med school that I haven’t been able to cope up with each essay.

I do have copies of The Best of Youngblood 1 through 3.

Though it has been my lifetime ambition to get published in it, I’ve only submitted twice and none was fortunate enough to see print.

My favorite titles by the way are (in order):
“Closure” by Eric Draven (Book 2)
“One Love, One Lifetime” by Quickmelt (Book 1)
“Esther, Mother, Sister” (Book 2)

I haven’t finished reading Book 3 yet, but of those I’ve read, none has caught my interest.

I guess, I need to make time to read them.

Is there a coming Book 4?

Thanks for the comment Patty! Yeah, I would love to review Youngblood. However, I am working at Philippine Star now. You can view my work at http://supreme.ph/readnow.
You can email Philippine Daily Inquirer to inquire more about Younglblood at http://inquirer.net or ask Anvil their publisher. Thanks!

hi! i really like reading "Youngblood". funny though that i first bought the third one and then followed by the second edition of the book. I an really fond of the book that's why. I first saw the third edition rather than the second which both bought in National.

The articles on the book are really touching. They catch the minds and the hearts of the Filipino youth and they bring to us lessons and inspiration. I can relate to some of those articles. I'm glad to have it because it really helped me a lot, not only because of the essays content but also it helped to improve my writing. I have so much admired all those writers who contributed on the book. I can not drop any title of an article included in it for almost all of it really had marked on me. I reaaly really really love the book!

Right now, my copy of the two Youngblood books I have are still being read by my two close friends.. They are also very fond now of reading it. I am looking for a copy of the first Youngblood.

Thank you for coming up with such a masterpiece, please continue to compile all the rich experiences and inspiring stories written by the Filipino youth. I hope, someday, I can send my works to Philippine daily Inquirer and see one of them in Youngblood's page. I hope there will be fourth edition of the book. Thank you!
