The Book Thief

No, I am not planning to make a review on this one, I just would like to share some quotes which are really beautiful to just ignore. I feel I could not do justice writing a review on this fantastic and heartbreaking story by Markus Zusak.   I wish I could sketch like Max did, […]

Of Books And Friends

“The assumption of time is one of humanity’s greatest follies. We tell ourselves that there’s always tomorrow, when we can no more predict tomorrow than we can the weather. Procrastination is the thief of dreams.” – Richard Paul Evans (The Walk) Touching base with old friends gives you that feeling of warmth and anticipation, it’s […]

Sunday Thoughts

I again dropped by the Liwasan after the 6:30 am mass today.  The vendors are still there but buyers  were few. Maybe it’s because it’s still early. I finally bought a jar of this  brown rice brew. It really tastes so good. It has fiber content, low calories and non-fattening too. Besides, it has no […]

Why I Read, What I Read

I have a library of books I have read which I have uploaded on Facebook via Goodreads app. I could not count the times that I blogged about books and reading and occasionally post bits of book reviews all these years. I used to update my books at shelfari.com, an online library where I personally […]

Hello, Hello!

Hi everyone! How have you been? It’s been a while and there is no valid reason neglecting this blog except that I was just busy. It’s Holy Week  next week so I have to finish everything (gardening included) so I could at least spend it in quiet reflection and visit some churches for our annual […]

Reading On A Lazy February

These,  I think, are lazy blogging days for me. For the past two days,  our “normal” weather is back and take that to mean that the cold days and colder nights are gone but PAGASA says, we will still experience the cold weather in a few days but not as temperate and balmy as the […]

“Porky” Thoughts

I am not sure if that word porky is appropriate here but this is just to show you how tiring it is to see and read news on the pork barrel every day. All of a sudden, I am tired of seeing Napoles’ face everywhere on the net, I am tired of reading her daughter’s […]

Onward 2013 (How Do You Give Someone A Piece Of Sky?)

I was about to make a blog on my to-be-read list for the following year and I suddenly remembered The Book Thief which I read right after I completed my six sessions of chemotherapy. It was an emotional encounter that I’ll never forget. I am still looking for a copy of my own since it […]

Onward 2010 (Just A Few More Lines)

“how could something so seemingly insignificant give comfort to someone?” “how do you give someone a piece of sky?” This much I remember while I was in the middle of reading The Book Thief by Markus Zusak. I’d better jot them down before they become obscured and buried in oblivion. No, I am not attempting […]
