MANILA, Philippines—I couldn’t put down Nicholas Sparks’ “The Notebook.” I found it unforgettable. It tells the story of an ideal love … unconditional love between soul mates. I never thought a love like that could exist. Even when they were already old, they were still very loyal to each other. I actually prefer the book to the movie version. I really cried while I was reading it, but I couldn’t get enough. Nakakakilig. Nakakaiyak.
