so this year i made a new year's resolution to read at least one book a month. last year, i didn't read much books and i thought it's a good idea to have this resolution. it's almost the end of february and i still haven't read a single book in its entirety ( Read more... )

i'm going to skip reading books for now.  i've started on a couple of books, but i couldn't bring myself to finish it.  there's just no drive to read those books.  not even a chuck palahniuk book could make read more.  i guess, i just don't have the energy for it.  the last book i read was the book i whined about in one entry.  fully book finally ( Read more... )

i pissed off at fully booked.  obviously.  last friday, i found parts 2 and 3 of a fantasy series that i have been looking for since last year at fully booked, bonifacio high street (blogged about it here).  but the thing is, i don't have part 1.  i was ready to buy the two books (not that expensive, mind you) if part 1 would be available, so i ( Read more... )

i. a.i.

yeah, so i've been trying to keep up with the happenings in american idol, because i find david archuleta kinda cute. a lot of people think he's gay. people think this way because of his choice of songs. he's good with ballads and power/glory notes and he's sticking to what he's good at. but really, i don't think it's right to make ( Read more... )

my current impulse buys have been mostly books.  i used to think i don't have time for books.  and then i realised that i do have time for books.  that was early this year.  and so i made a point to at least read one book a month.  that's 12 books in a year.  right now, i'm on my 11th book.  erm, i didn't plan to be reading this fast.  i beginning ( Read more... )

chapter one
secrets unraveled
