Book Shopping


It has been months since I crossed out books that I’d like to buy from the short list I have in my hard earned Starbucks Planner (grin). I have been eyeing this book since January but was waiting for the bookstore to have new stock since the book’s cover was not as new as I would expect it to be, well new for the regular price of 339 php. Thanks to my cousin Nica who put up a small business of selling second hand book via Multiply (http://booksoverbros.multiply.com) that I was able to buy the book I have been eyeing for 160php, which is still in good condition and the bonus is, it wasn’t the paperback issue I saw in the bookstore but the first published copy which originally cost 660 php if I bought it in the bookstore.
 It was great having her put up this business, books became arms reached for me plus it wasn’t just books, but titles some of us are eyeing or collecting so I was really thrilled when I saw her business multiply page and recommended it to my workplace seatmate since we’re both book fanatic. The book I was eyeing from bookstore that I bought in the booksoverbros site is “Everyone Worth Knowing” by Lauren Weisberger who is also the author of “The Devil Wears Prada”

My Pot of Gold

At the End of the Rainbow there's a pot of Gold, and I've found mine after years of hunting and waiting. I know a lot of bloggers have blogged about this, how heavenly they tasted and how they crave for more, but I just want to share the reason why I bought the ice cream and why I am blogging about this… When I was a kid, since my Dad likes English movies, I was exposed to Hollywood movies, I would cover my eyes if there’s a kissing scene or learn a few English bad words but I can not forget how they depict that ice cream is a good comfort food which I learned when I grew a little older that it was a great comfort food, but since I was a kid I would wish that I can eat ice cream the way Hollywood stars eat their ice cream in the movies. From the dark covered pint cup, with their silver spoon digging to the creamy and tasty ice cream that waters in their mouth that would always make their eyes close savoring the flavor. I don’t know with others but we eat our ice cream in

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
