Just-Because Give-Away.
So, today, I snapped out of my hermitic ways and went to the bank to pay stuff and deposit other stuff. I also had lunch with my parents. Needless browsing through Fully Booked led me to one of my favorite books that I, and it seems, everyone else, can’t find in the Philippines. (I also watched Kick-Ass, but that’s another story.)
Surprise!
I read John Green’s “Looking for Alaska” late last year when a gracious Mr. Villa sent it over for me. I (and the rest of Tumblr) have been raving about this, but they’re not so easy to find here. ANYWAY.
Here is where you come in.
» WHAT YOU DO: Comment with what you want your last words to be. I don’t want an entire paragraph or a novella, okay? Make it short & sweet & yours.1 Only one entry per person, please.
» DEADLINE: I’m leaving this post up until April 30th, then I’m going to pick the winners.
» ANNOUNCEMENTS: Announcing & e-mailing the winners on May 1 on Nothing Spaces. Remember to enter with a valid e-mail so that it’ll be easy for me to contact you.
» PRIZES: ONE copy of John Green’s “Looking for Alaska” & FIVE consolation prizes.
There! That’s basically it. I’ll be leaning towards Filipino-based answers, because the book is hard to find here & I’m iffy about mailing it because I’ve had several packages that have gotten lost in the mail, but I will still consider international answers anyway.
OKAY. Let’s see where this goes.

1 Famous people’s last words are an important part of the book. I thought it fitting to be some sort of criterion for this contest.

ANG MORBID PAGISIPAN but I want to take a stab at this. HAHA. Okay mind would be:
Grrr, argggghhh.
Come here and Ill show you.
Looking For Alaska, shit! Saang Fully Booked kaya yan? Para pag di ako nanalo, bibili na lang ako. =D
My last words would be: “Kaw na bahala sa Facebook ko…at sa farm ko, at sa restaurant ko, at sa hotel ko, at sa pet ko, basta! Sa lahat ng nilalaro ko!”
Hey, love.
My last words would be:
I know I’ll see Him in heaven.
my last words:
“god, im hungry! let’s go to mcdona-”
It was great knowing this.
Simply:
Good Bye, I’m about to die.
I’ve always had a fear of saying ‘Good Bye!’ but since I am about to die, might as well say something appropriate and actually mean it, for once. :)
Thank you, World. It was a pleasure. Let’s do this!
In my younger years I always worry that someday I might die alone… now you are here with me, I have nothing to fear. Do not fret. I love you, and I will always be with you.
Mine would be:
Please say goodbye to G. Callen, Meredith Grey, and Jack Shephard for me.
…plug? What plug?
(This is terribly uncreative and unspecific :( but it’s better to just join in, right?)
“im watching your ass so you better behave… loljk! or maybe not. dundunduuuuunnn”
^now i seriously want this on my grave. ahahahahah!
It’s time to bring awesome to heaven! Keep on rock & rollin’ earth! I’m dying happy! *insert dying happy smile here*
I think I really WILL see the light…
My last words would be:
It was all worth it.
(I hope I can win cause it’s IMPOSSIBLE to find it over here)
This is not goodbye, but a long “see you later” instead.
See you there.
game over
ohhhhh, i wanted to read that for so long!:) okay imma try this.:)
my last words:
“thank you for being a part of my journey. i wouldn’t be who i have become if it wasn’t for you.”
Inang bayan…
Infinitely and most lovingly yours, Jen.
“Ayoko pang mamatay! Extension, please!” :(
Oh. God. were my first two and Shit. I gotta join! were my last. LOL
(funny how i was desperate to borrow the book from you [IDK how though] since I’ve been looking for it the past coupla weeks.)
There was no sound.
Wag mo kakalimutan na ipapalala sa kanila na may nagmamahal sa kanila.
(Sinasabi ko ‘to sa asawa ko, para sa mga anak namin, pag namatay na ako.)
“…And please make sure my casket’s clean. Thanks.”
May tiwala ako sa Kanya.
It’s cool here in the flip side.
DUUUUDE. I’ve been wanting to read that book since quotes started popping up on this LJ quote community. Are there more copies? THERE BETTAH! Cos if I don’t win this contest, I need options.
Anyway.
“I’m taking you with me!!!!!”
BRB.
“bahala na sila sa mga batman nila.”
“Blackbird, fly.”
The Beatles was too immense an impact in my life (as well as my father’s) for me to ever part with them.
Good bye and thank you. *bow*
“Thank God I saved right after the boss fight…”
Ikaw lang ang tibok ng puso ko noon, ngayon at hanggang sa huling hininga ko, Claren Torres.
Max Fischer, you got nothing on me. And when I say “nothing,” I mean everything.
If anyone asks, my journal is in the cupboard. In the bathroom.
Mine is totally lame compared to the others. Oh well, at least I tried.
Di nga?
I wish I could have written more.
(Carina, I need to send you something! Address, please.)
“Tell Maurice I want my The Sandman series with me inside my coffin. And no make-up, please!”
Oh wow I want that book, and it’s true; it’s pretty hard to find here in Manila :(
Given the chance, I’d probably say “Wishing you the best while I’m gone. I bet the afterlife’s an even crazier adventure!”, because I’m guessing by that time I’ll be running out of witty remarks :|
You’d think I would have thought about this more, considering how much I like quotes… Hmm. How about this?
“I’ve finally figured out all of life’s little secrets. I’ll have to tell you about them tomorrow though. Right now, I think I’ll take a little nap…”
hee.
Ang Mamatay (at Mabuhay) Nang Dahil Sa’Yo :)
“Finally, rest, peace, and serenity.”
“But I haven’t read John Green yet!”
Haha, kung conflict of interest, you don’t have to enter me, ;p
Share ko lang, last words ni Pancho Villa: “Make it good. Tell them I said something!” :]
“Who turned off the damned lights?”
FOR NARNIAAAAA!!!
my last words:
the world gave me every reason to stay. but i also have my reason to go.
