Christmas is over and my friends have already bought a Kindle to help them with their reading. They’ve been talking about getting a gadget to use so that they can simply utilize the device in order to easily bring the novels with them wherever they go.
My, my. To book or not? It’s a crazy situation – I haven’t even slept well last night.
It’s still cheap but I’m not entirely sure if I want to create any major expense as of the moment due to the availability or unavailability of funds. But what if I did? My mind is journeying to places and I’m left with my imagination which can get dreamy.
Tweaked some of the destinations and now I’m booked! Cebu Pacific’s Piso fare starting January 1, to March 31, 2011, was too tempting an offer I couldn’t resist. I’ve been waiting for promos like this wherein I could just catch a flight to different destinations in the Philippines and just let loose.
The Little Prince, one of the first books I’ve read in one standing –> back when I was still working at a fast food joint, and I couldn’t afford buying a book, I stayed at the National Bookstore just so I could read during my spare time. I would stay there for hours and lounge around even when not permitted. I couldn’t say I was in heaven for being able to read a number of books, since I was partly torturing myself for always standing and trying my best to avoid dagger looks from the saleslady for being a regular visitor; and not a customer. Anyway, those were the days; I don’t think I can relive them as my time is preoccupied with blogging and such. Maybe when I become a bum again I will.
Got a treat at work, blueberry cheesecake and some other cakes from Starbucks. I got lucky. hehe. Over the course of eating our desserts, we talked about Rich Dad, Poor Dad, which is one of my favorite books because of how practical and true the words of Robert Kiyosaki were when it came to how to become rich, money-wise.
We watched Twilight yesterday and I can still hear those girls (and boys) squealing inside my head. I missed out on a lot of things in the movie according to the people who’ve read the book. But I’m just happy that I had no expectations because I would have been very meticulous in finding out the scenes that weren’t faithfully done.
I bought this book 3 years ago for 50 bucks (really good deal just to inform you). I like the story, maybe because it coincided with the stage I was in. The great thing about it is that I was able to use this book as my reference when I was applying for a job. I explained to the the human resource personnel how this book is somewhat similar to the classic cult “The Catcher in the Rye”; which made the topic even more interesting. Anyway, below is a review I made out of it.
