Hiya Blog!

I can't believe how long it has been since I last blogged here, oh my it's been like forever...

What's my news?

(1) We're joining another marathon, the TIMEX RUN. OMG! Piolo is going to be there! PIOLO! And well my lot will be running in the 3K and Papa P will be on the 5K, just so you know. Wahhhh! A costly marathon but if Piolo's going to be there, it's worth it.

(2) It's sunny. Ain't that great?

(3) My Singapore Trip is a few weeks away...wow...time really flies.

(4) It's my sister Jeri's birthday, so HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

(5) I've finally got a watch, Yey! Dream come true...ahahhaha...

(6) Went to PhilHealth yesterday and found out I can't get an ID because I do not have a number. How crappy is that? After 2 years of working and salary deduction...where the heck's my money going?

(7) Jeri bought her first ever netbook, a Lenovo S10-2, which I'm using now. JUDGMENT: So far so good.

(8) I shouted at the security guard in our office...well I always wonder why he has to search us as if we're criminals (THIEVES!). Oh well, sorry kuya, I lack sleep...napagbuntunan ka.

(9) I am volunteering for Red Cross..

(10) I am reading THE BFG by Roald Dahl, it's really great...hope I can make a review soon.

(11) We weren't flooded. Lucky us and well for the others, my prayers goes out to them.

And well..I guess that's just about it for today.

Take care everyone...

TOTAL BOOKS READ FROM THIS MEME: 16

Well not too bad, I guess.

If you've noticed there are a lot of books on the list that were left unaltered especially bestsellers like Dan Brown and Tolkien, and great writers such as Dickens and Marquez. It doesn't mean I don't like them, it simply means they don't click with me yet.

I've got to make Jane Austen an example, I had a copy of Emma for ages, I've read a couple of pages then eventually put it down. Then I got hold of Pride of Prejudice (the character of Meg Ryan in You've Got Mail reads it every year, it must be good) then to my surprise I'd loved it. Then re-read Emma, it was totally awesome.

I have a couple of Dickens on my collection I am hoping to read it in the very near future.

How many have you read on this list?
