How I spent the Memorial Day

This has been in my drafts for two weeks now. Last Memorial Day while everybody is on vacation because of the long weekend, we were in not so far away Mall.
We're in to these very affordable and functional stuffs which the Japanese invented so we went to the largest Japan Home Store in Galleria loacted in their East wing. SAIZEN.
These are the things I bought that day, well not of all them are from Saizen, but I told myself since I'm in the mall with someone who is equally a book fan, we went to Bestseller, National Bookstore's version of Fully Booked and Powerbooks. So I bought James Patterson's Sundays at Tiffany's which is now crossed out on my list of books to buy ( but more adding to it). One thing missing though is the bookmark I bought in Powerbooks when we hopped to Alabang Town Center to meet our friends there who is enjoying the extra day off we have from our nocturnal job, the bookmark is inside the book because as soon as I arrived my house I slipped it inside a mark that I will be starting to read it soon.
Now two weeks have passed and back to my night job and I'm done reading the book, I am looking forward to the next long weekend, that's July 3, a few weeks from now. (grin)

The Reading Challenge

At the start of the year there were two reading challenges I committed myself to The Goodreads Reading Challenge where you will decide how many books you can read for the year. The other one I got from my cousin but upon searching in Google it's a Popsugar Reading Challenge. I must have underestimated my annual calendar because I challenged my self to red 50 books in Goodreads. I thought "50 books? Oh that's nothing, I have all the time in the world." And guess what? It's mid of November and here's my reading challenge. Apparently I didn't plan on being too busy during mid year but I'm not complaining I just didn't expect it to be like that. Still, I'm happy to I have read 25 books so far. And these are mostly YA books. What's with YA anyway? Am I old to be reading it? But that's another blog entry I suppose. I am happy to discover new authors that I will sure follow (Sarah Haas, Cassandra Rose Clarke) and the likes. With these 2...

Home is where the Heart is

You can take the Pinoy out of the Philippines but, you can't take the Philippines out of the Pinoy. In the case, food... - Nicanor David Jr. from "Kwentong Tambay", 2006 Ah this one is true, I've heard of it. I came from a family who works abroad, halos lahat sila, actually konti na nga lang kami dito sa Pilipinas e. Anyway, back sa topic. My sister lives in UK been there for quite some time and she went here in the Philippines after 5 years and the first thing she asked me to do is Dial 8-7000 (singing: Jollibee Delivery). My Dad is in USA for, well, a very long time now and once in a awhile if there is a family friend visiting Philippines we will ask them to bring my dad several frozen tapa from the famous Maty's in Prañaque which is in a microwavable container. Filipinos can endure the work and long hours abroad but they can't really resist not to look for Filipino food. I remembered my cousin who's in Singapore she was telling us how she craved for ric...

The Year that was

By Now I think everyone had enough of the New Year, New Me post don't worry I will try my hardest not to do that here. Instead I would like to recap a little on the year that was. 2016, whew, insert hand swiping my forehead here. Let's see, how many time did you sing Closer by Chainsmokers? What was your favorite movie? I like Civil War but Suicide Squad gave me a fun memory. What was your biggest project completed? First and foremost my theme song for 2016 is "Thank you for the broken heart" by J. Rice. If you're reading my previous posts, well, thank you, but it doesn't take a genius to know that I had a heartbreak but I have to thank it because it opened a lot of doors for me. It wasn't a bitter break-up but just as others, it was sad. It happened at the start of the year which I think was good because it gave me a chance to revisit my goal for the year and what I really wanted. So drum roll please... On door no. 1, I had a chance to reconnect...
