I finally got my badge. It’s time to move to other reading genre – YA (yes, I love them), contemporary, poems (Upstream is just waiting) some memoirs and of course Christmas stories.

It's been some years since I started this blog. Supposedly, it was only to share my plight as a cancer patient and survivor but over the years it has somehow evolved into something personal about my life and my family. So really glad to have met you all wonderful people out there. Someone commented once that he liked the title of this blog, Dreams and Escapes. Dream on, there are more things in life than we really think. Be happy, you only live once. Sometimes you also need an escape from the vicissitudes of life and this blog helps me cope. Welcome. Feel free to leave your comments, I do welcome them.

So Long
It took me so long to access this blog, I wonder what happened really. It is always touch and go so I stay with my main blog Dreams and Escapes which you can access here. This is just a trial post once more. I could not even see the tags and categories….whew!
I Am Back
Finally able to access this again after so long. Will update soon.

It’s been a while. I am reblogging this here from my main blog Dreams and Escapes. I hope you’ll find time to visit it to. My gosh, I got so excited when I saw it. There are several designs actually and all with Biblical passages. One of the vendors in our subdivision is selling them. […]
What A Surprise!
I can’t believe I haven’t touched and visited this blog like forever (an exaggeration of course) but I was so focused on updating my main blog so I forgot about this. Early this morning while I was watering the plants, I looked up at our jackfruit trees and saw this. I was hoping I could […]

I read every night and before I take a nap in the afternoon. I think this is my 4th try to join the challenge. I add more every year. Last year, I promised myself to read 50 books but i was able to finish 75. It’s hard to make choices on the titles. It was an eclectic mix of reading genre. Thanks Claire 🙂

You’ve given me a thought. I’ll start with 50. I think that’s a more reachable number for me. Pero who knows, I might exceed my own goals. 🙂 I’m also into a lot of genre. Nowadays, I love reading creative non fiction and non fiction in general. I’m already excited to pick the books. Of course, I’ll start with the one’s sitting on my desk unread for the past few months. Thanks.

If you have the will, you can do it. Books take you any place you want, they are uncomplaining best friends 🙂

I suggest you start at the beginning of the year and be a member of Goodreads so you will be able to make a list of all the books you would be reading. Just a sort of guide…more like an online library.
