Book Marked

This past week I started reading again, I almost forgot how satisfied and happy I feel everytime I finishes a book.
Lately I'm always assessing myself, What i really like to do? What I should do? What I need to do? and always I find myself thinking "reading" but I still try and pursue other hobbies and recreation or other things I wanted to do.
So realizing I needed some catching up to do and in line with the book sales in the mall I devoured three books and I find myself in cloud nine.
If shopping is a therapy for others, I say my therapy is reading, I forget all the things I should worry about and instead I create my own world (sometimes imagining myself in the book, ok, often times)where everything and I think needs is there.
I am writing this because I realize that we should hold on to something that keeps us sane and makes us happy, sometime we see ourselves in situation where we became selfless and give up the things that makes us happy, but what if that some thing is the one thing that keeps you together. This may sound really odd and yo might think that a woman like me is comparing this to a serious sounding like sitch. I really don't know how you will put it but for me, when I read it keeps me aware of what I need to do, somehow in the pages of the fiction novels, inside the head of the heroine, I get to relate myself and makes me think of real life situation.
Okay, this may sound too serious already and that's one thing I'm really not, not if you need me to be. I'm just glad I am back to reading and I'm happy I have purchased a couple and hoping to be finding more good reads.

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...

How To Be Interesting So That Other Can Envy and Notice You

My whole 32 years of existence, ok, minus the toddler years where I don’t really care; I want to be wanted, desirable, likable and according to Google, to achieve this you must be interesting and as part of my research that’s why  I came across this book. I hunted for this book in the hope that I can get tips so I can be interesting. In the cover it says:   Rule # 1. One must be attractive .  – If you are such a good friend or sister you will tell your mates that its personality that wins. I agree, but for the others to notice you, you must be attractive or else they will not make that second look or  make an effort to get to know you thus you are not given the chance to showcase your great personality. So, yes, a nod to this rule #1. Rule #2. One must be friends with other attractive people – Ever heard of the saying “Tell me who your friends are and I tell you who you are”? Now that you’re attractive do not stop there and make friends ...

Rediscovering what sparks joy

Hi, if there's really anyone reading this blog. I kept this blog open more of a open diary and realized that writing is form of therapy for me. For all those bottled up feeling that I couldn't express. The last blog post I did was 2019 that I started a vlog in YouTube, sadly that vlog is no longer existing. I could make up excuses as to why but its really one complicated reason, which could be for another blog post. I was going to write that its been a year since I last posted but and then realized that its 2022 now, well it could be a year if we don't really count 2020.  Since moving to the States five years ago (2020 counted here), I was busy trying to make my family and I's life better, financially more or less, ok more so I was really busy with work and making more money. Unconsciously trying to fulfill the wants that I couldn't afford. In the process, I forgot what would make me happy. At the rise of tiktok I have discovered posts that intrigued my curiosity. I...
