Book Launch: Broken Mirror by Aurora Teo Mei Ling and Coylee Gamboa
Being the faithful person that I am, learning or hearing stories of a man or a woman cheating on their wife or husband or partners is one act I could not fathom. With a relationship built on the foundation of love, trust and faith, how could one person easily get attached to another person despite of the promises and vows they made for their partners.
If change is really here – then, it is definitely something we should be scared of.
Last January 27, Friday, at the Manila Grand Opera Hotel in Manila City, while the whole Filipino-Chinese Community in the country and in the world, are busy preparing for the upcoming Chinese New Year, a book launch happened spearheaded by its authors, Miss Coylee Gamboa and Aurora Teo Mei Ling.
A book that shares and unfolds the story of what it is like to live inside a Filipino-Chinese Marriage, Broken Mirror is set to open our eyes, mind, heart and soul to the things happening inside the four corners of a Filipino-Chinese household - including its triumphs, challenges, heartbreaks and healing.
During the launch, Ms. Coylee divulged that though the story may be familiar to most of us, what this book differentiate from the other stories that we've read, heard and saw on movies is that this one tells a real story of a Filipino-Chinese marriage, whose husband is familiar in the country - a resounding truth that will give us a new perspective of what it is really like to be in this kind of setup.
