Fool in Every Sense


When I saw this on the book sale stand I didn't think twice and grabbed it along with two other books and purchased it.
Since I was a kid I am fascinated with history and I am thrilled to get a glimpse of England's past and to have a slight idea of how crazy it is in The Royal Court.
For me, the Queen's Fool gave its readers the third side of the coin, it is like bird's eye view from Hannah, the main protagonist giving the reader broader view of the situation.
I like the characters that was put together by Ms. Gregory, they compensate each other and everyone has their key part. Even the supporting characters in the book had roles to play not just a bystander who happens to be there or just a passing stranger.
Fool I am in every sense to even thought of stopping to read the book at the beginning because of the slow pace, but towards middle of the story where we begin to see Hannah struggle being a fool, a daughter and a duty of being a good wife. The story reminds me of everyday life we portray and the choices and sacrifices we made for what we think is the greater good.

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.

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 PraƱaque 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 Son of Neptune

I loved Percy Jackson from the moment I watched it until the last page of The Last Olympian so it is no surprise that I patiently awaits another book that will have Percy Jackson in it. I read the first book The Lost Hero but quite disappointed that Percy is missing, that's why I'm excited with the second book which most probably star Percy, well who could be Neptune's Son right? probably Tyson? Love the cover too. Will be available on October 4, 2011 To read the first chapter click here
