Bookworm

Rich Dad Poor Dad: What the Rich Teach Their Kids About Money-That the Poor and the Middle Class Do Not! I'm currently reading two books: Of Yen and Rice and Rich Dad, Poor Dad. The first one is all about Japan, its people, culture, etc. I find it quite interesting since I always dream of visiting Japan someday. The latter is one of those books that you simply can't stop reading! It's amazing how the author point the issues in a way that's both interesting and simple. If you want to end the 'rat race' of your financial life, then that book written by Robert T. Kiyosaki is perfect.

Happiest,Happier,Happy

"Walang araw na malungkot. Mas masaya ka lang kahapon kaya akala mo malungkot ka ngayon."
-Bob Ong-

The words perfectly describe the emotion that I have at this very moment. Feel happier yesterday, a little less happy today. Different thoughts are running inside. I've been thinking of these:




*Cannibad at IGACOS
>I miss the combination of sun, salt, water and fun! After NLE, I will definitely hit the beach.










*A good book
>I miss my books (I sold them). It's been a while since I bought a good book. I know, I know, I should read or shall I say focus more on reviewers, etc.:(
>This book is a good one. I've read the synopsis while waiting for my mom.








and I'm thinking of..

BLOOD LETTING (donating blood=saving lives)

I feel better now. Have to go! I still have to submit the certification to the lawyer. Good day!

I Want These!

I hope I could find these books in NBS!

* Good book review! *

*It's all about 5 high school graduates who want to join the Ivy League*
- I want to know the kind of life in Harvard!

Bookaholic (is there such a word?)

For the first week of Christmas break, I was able to read 3 books (Elipse, Breaking Dawn, and Gossip Girl). What do you call a person getting addicted to reading? Because I could classify myself as one - lol. I don't know. It is the only thing that I would like to do the entire day.

Tomorrow I'll start doing the 'school stuff'. That includes the AVP for seminar and Asian Civ. (I just hope the cd still works), and the NLE self-review.

Wait..
I need to tell you this. Finally, yes, finally, my mom bought that book of Arlene Chai (The Last Time I Saw Mother). I couldn't explain the sudden rise of giddiness when my mom handed me the book.

Anyways, I promised to read this book first, no, not just read, I mean, read from start to the very last page. I bought this a year ago and I still find it hard to continue on reading it. But I'll try, will really try...

Cleaning Up

I am through reading Breaking Dawn and the awe of the novel doesn't leave me 'till now. It's amazing how a a series simply started with a dream (of course of the author's). Hmmm.. If ever I would have a dream like that, I don't know if I still want to wake up - lol.

I am now reading Gossip Girl and soon that book of Arlene Chai. I was bugging my mom to buy me that book and I don't know if she'll bring home the book that bears the face of a woman longing for someone or for something. I didn't go with her. I stayed at home and clean up. I was in the midst of fixing the clutter when I saw these books:

I say books, so they are four of them. They're quite old. They've been around for more than a decade now. They are my first books, I mean, they are my and my brother's first books. But I think I was the only one who's fond of reading them. You could now guess why I'm so in love with books. My mother had introduced to us these bed time story books when I was still 5 or 6 years old. Peculiar but my mom seem to get tired of seeing me with a binded material that's why she sighs whenever I ask her for another ehr, (I can't think of another way to say it) book. She seems to be happier when I ask for clothes. And I find it weird.

I'm now trying to improve my E.Q and I think I improved a bit, hehe. When I'm mad, I count backwards to control it and try to rationalize things out. And when I'm frustrated because of emotions that I simply couldn't understand, I try to be brave and face what's inside. I am trying to identify most of them, if not all. It seems to be working though.

I'm looking forward for 2009! Wohoo! Albeit this year has some memories that's so hard to let go of..
