My Pseudo-Quest to ascertain that Survivor isn’t as far from Real Life as we Thought

I finally got my book, The Psychology of Survivor by Richard J. Gerrig last night from Magrudy’s bookstore! Being a Survivor-fanatic, I am going to ambition to write about the parallelism between the Survivor series and the so-called “real life” (that is, after I finish reading the book). I just have to find my angle yet.

There is very little difference between what we see in the series and in our everyday lives, hence, my addiction to the said hit series, both local and international versions. I am too consumed at how the characters are almost the same as the people we deal with everyday, to the point that wherever I am, I pretend to be a Castaway so I think, interact and decide like one. Weird, huh? (What’s weirder though is that I bash the annoying Castaways on Facebook just to vent out my irritation.)

Nevertheless, this book came just right in time to add fuel to my recently-awakened slumbering muse. Here’s me going back again to reading paperbacks instead of e-books. It is indeed a joy to be going back to the basics just in time for my fast approaching vacation back to the Philippines.

Time for another Survivor adventure!
