Ricky Lee

★★★★★ // read this in one sitting for about two hours and felt like i was literally in seated in a table with sir ricky lee, listening to him talk about all of these. he is someone i will always look up to even if i did not end up a writer, and no longer attempt to write stories because i got so caught up in the ‘real’ world as a corporate slave — and i love my job. still though, that part of me that will always wonder and think deeply about love remains and i love reading the thoughts of an icon who is pretty much a part of my love for literature. my always wandering and restless mind feels validated when i think about sir ricky who is the same. as what they often say on twitter, i am so ricky lee coded.

“ang mga kahon, ang mga constraints, ay mga oportunidad para mapilitan akong maghanap ng pinto at makalabas. ‘yung wala, ‘yung cannot be, ‘yung imposible, ‘yun din ang pinanggagalingan ng meron, ng can be, ng posible.”

“sa paulit-ulit na pagkabigo ay mas matututo ka. para kang sinusulat na nobela na kailangang paulit-ulit na i-revise. hanggang sa kuminang.”

i always love the way sir ricky writes candidly and honestly. he breaks the rules if he has to. and it seems he plans to defy odds for as long as he could.

“ako si ricky lee, matagal nang nagsusulat, at matagal pang magsusulat.”
