The Concubine's Tattoo

It's bee a while since I last wrote a review for the book I read, well it's not really a review, probably my insights and though would that be the same? Anyway, I have not been on the computer lately. You see I share PC with my Mom and yes I have got to blame Facebook application for the times I could not let my Ma let me use the computer to write a blog to post on my twitter account or do my online banking.

So now early morning back from work I am blogging about the book I
just finished reading and I must say, the author just became one of my favorite. I got the book by jokingly asking my friend to buy the book for me, because at that time when we were in the bookstore I was eying to buy another book and I don't have the extra money to buy the book and it really look promising so when I asked her she did not have any second thoughts and bought me the book (thanks Joyce).

Boy, was I glad she bought the book because once I began reading
the book I can't hardly put it down. It was "The Concubine's Tattoo" by Laura Joh Rowland an American author from Chinese and Korean decent.
At first I thought the book was slow in pacing but once Ms. Rowland started describing the characters it is as if they were painted clearly in my mind and words used to describe how they feel, succesfully reached me. The plot and story that greatly intrigued me when I saw the book did not disappoint me until the very end, and I thought the ending was greatly served and no characters or story that was left unanswered. I recommend the book to those mystery and suspense book lover like myself and to those who believes about women empowerment as well.

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...

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...
