Book buying binge….

I was on buying spree this week-end and mostly bought books, I was at borders yesterday evening and as usual when I am around these shelves and shelves of various books I am completely done. Anyway, now I really have to do some catch-up reading coz I ended up buying about 8 books (not that many but to me it’s a lot already…)

Here’s what I bought:
1. Maid in Singapore – by Crisanta Sampang (got curious because she worked as a maid here and ended up as a filmmaker based in Vancouver – interesting huh?!)
2. Adrian Mole series – 3 books series by Sue Townsend (I find it funny)
3. Three books by David Sedaris (SantaLand Diaries, Naked, Me Talk Pretty one Day) – as recommended by sis Wena, she said he is funny like Jessica Zafra kind of funny
4. One book by Mitch Albom – forgot the title, something to do with relationship with mothers…

So now I have lots to read before going to bed and during my train ride…pahinga muna ipod…

Pagbibinata…..

I have to write this down, my eldest nephew is 10 and this summer he started to be aware of the opposite gender. It started when their neighbor went over to their place to play. Normally, my nephews will not go out of their house to play with other kids, they are just contented to play with each other and within their front yard but then with the 5yr gap between the two boys, the older one is growing fast and the common interest between the two are waning. So this girl went over to their place and according to my sister was asking my nephew to come and play computers dun sa me kanto. That started it, and every now & then they will play at home and whenever I called up, they will answer me with "Tita, we have a new friend, gusto mo kausapin mo?"... The changes were not noticeable at first but then when it did, we all became amused by it. Like yesterday the kapitbahay came by and nephew #1 immediately took a bath and sprayed perfume on him…halimuyak daw sa buong bahay hahah...

The legend of St. Valentine

Received thru email.... Today, February 14, candies, gifts, and most especially flowers, will be exchanged between loved ones as the entire world celebrates the most romantic holiday of all, Valentine’s Day. Traditionally, it is a time from all walks of life to express affection and devotion to their loved ones. But while this occasion has always been associated with love and romance, legend tells us that the history of Valentine’s Day — and its patron saint — is shrouded in mystery. Although it hasn’t been proven historically, there were purportedly seven men named Valentine who were honored with feasts on February 14. Of these seven men, two stories link incidents that could have given our present day meaning to St. Valentine’s Day. One of these men named Valentine was a priest during the reign of Emperor Claudius. Valentine was very much revered by the people, with the young and old, rich and poor, attending his services. At this time, Emperor Claudius was actively recruiting men to...
