A few years back, I bought the book Stupid is Forever by the late Senator of the Philippines, Miriam Defensor Santiago. It has only 132 pages and most of its contents are humorous. Whenever she delivered her speeches, being a guest speaker in an event especially a graduation in a univers…
With the advent of this technology called Internet, many Filipinos just like me have been able to enter the complex world of stock market. In this post, I will share to you my journey, the journey of the middle-class, government employee, trying to do what the rich people are practicing.…
Christmas is near because this month already ends with 'ber'. When this season comes, we are able to share our blessings by giving gifts to other people. We also get an excuse to buy ourselves more expensive stuff than usual.hehe. Last Christmas, I bought myself a bookshelf. …
When my brother gave me a tablet, I actually didn't know what to do with it. In the first place, I didn't find it as a necessity. In terms of use, whatever it could perform, could also be done by my laptop. Although obviously, a tablet is more convenient to use than a 14-inch lap…
Yay! This is Judith McNaught's 8th book (Someone to Watch Over Me) that I already read. For the record, this is the highest number of novels I read from the same author. She is just the best, yo! She has always taken me into a roller coaster ride with her stories. For this book…
One of the things that I missed doing during the time that I was reviewing for my board exam was reading a novel. And now I've got the time to do that. I have around 5 novels unfinished reading. I was thrilled to continue reading another Judith McNaught's novel. But since I…
Bitter by Don Vittorio C. Villasin For the first time in my reading life, I bought a book(let) written by a Filipino. The title got me interested. In many situations or moments, I am bitter as an ampalaya. But that bitterness just plays within me, so nobody really knows that I feel t…
What kind of website is Goodreads ? It is the place on the Internet where you can create a list of the books you read, wanted, hated and anything you like to associate that book with. It is the place where you could rate a novel, 1 star if it's not worth-reading or 5 stars if y…
Bon Chon's Tissue. :p I was supposed to eat at Manang's Chicken at Katipunan for my super late brunch, say 2:30pm. But the said food establishment was a bit far by walking from where I withdrew my week's allowance. So I thought of other store instead and Bon Chon came int…
There is a new bookshop in Krus na Ligas and I found my feet entering the little store. I just wanted to look around. I absolutely didn't intend to buy but damn, I was amazed by the cheapness of the novels. And yes, I found lots of Judith McNaught's novels there. If you do …
I have a thing for quotes especially those from books I read. In order to remember them, I wrote them somewhere whether here on my blog, on my twitter account, on my facebook account (private mode) , on a notepad or on my personal journal. I find happiness on reading those quotes again,…
Yehey! I've got 6 books waiting in line for me to be read. I'm such a happy worm right now! My heart jumped with joy yesterday when I found a Judith McNaught novel at the The Bookworm Brigade. I didn't expect it, really. Thank you to the one who gave it up. You don't k…
Thank you to Ms. Saab Magalona's blog post and I was able to know that such awesome event will take place tomorrow (June 30, 2012) at Moonleaf Tea Shop Maginhawa. Fortunately, the location is just a jeep away from where I am. So I've got no excuse of not going. Plus, Rona is…
Today I experienced my very first paper cut which happened while I was working at the office. Truth be told, before the incident, I was not a believer that a paper has the capacity of cutting our skin. Look at a paper, very thin, light and everything. How could it possibly hurt a human be…
I didn't meet my goal to surpass the number of books I read last 2010 in 2011. I was eying to read at least 18 because in 2010, I managed to finish 17. But due to my idle behavior, I only had 10. Shame on me, right? If Ms. Jessica Zafra would find this, she would really smirk at me b…
I already finished reading the novel, The Dylanist. It was OKAY, I didn't dislike it unlike others on the Internet. It was an easy read, you know, just like reading Twilight. What I liked about the book was that I can relate to the protagonist. Her (Sally's) personality mirrored…
