RJ Ledesma launches 3rd book

MANILA, Philippines –  There is hope for single men and no girlfriends since birth! And RJ Ledesma has the answer.

 After Lies My Yaya Should Have Told Me: An Imaginary Guide to Whine and Women and I Do Or I Die: An Imaginary Guide to Getting Married and Other Man-Made Disasters, the magazine editor, newspaper columnist, events host, struggling actor and manservant to his wife and baby daughter inflicts tertiary damage to the local literary scene with the launch of his third book, Is It Hot In Here Or Is It Me? RJ Ledesma’s Imaginary Guide to Flirting, Body Language and Pick-Up Artists by Anvil Publishing.

In his latest compilation of humorous essays, RJ shares the five universal steps of flirting that women use to ensnare clueless men, improves literacy standards by schooling men in female body language, and reveals the secrets used by professional pick-up artists to make women do things that they will regret in the morning. And he does all this with the help of Dirty Old Men, No Girlfriends Since Birth, his poor yaya and Palanca Award Hall-of-Famer Krip Yuson who wrote in the book’s foreword (with much duress). 

Yuson captures the possessed spirit of the book when he says, “From savvy insights on the ‘inner D.O.M.’ that apparently stems from intimate knowledge of his own inimitable persona, to sage advisories offered ‘DITs’ or ‘D.O.M.s in training,’ we have to hand it to this aristocrat of emotional effusions…In a pheromone-dictated parallel universe, we would do well to arm ourselves with all the knowledge on Biblical knowing found in these pages. Thus should our evenings, midnights and wee hours turn into models of satiety, if not frustration. Either way, we can thank the author, and ‘touch him in the moaning.”’

Is It Hot In Here Or Is It Me? RJ Ledesma’s Imaginary Guide to Flirting, Body Language and Pick-Up Artists is available at National Bookstore and Powerbooks nationwide. For details, visit www.rjledesma.net.
