it's been quite a while since i last read a good book. i may not look the part, but i love reading. i guess i could live alone on an island with a library of great books to keep me company. i think it runs in the family. well, i'm not sure who we got it from, but my older sister, as well as my older brother, loves reading as well.
i remember having a library card in marcopper's public library and i used to go there when my cousin's family was still living there. getting that library card was, for me, something of a priviledge, since we were not residents of marcopper and we only used to go there whenever there's a week off from school and only during school breaks (summer, and christmas breaks). the only time we stopped going there was when marcopper closed down.
i remember completing the hardy boys and the nancy drew collection, all the sweet valley books (yeah, starting from the sweet valley kids up until the sweet valley university), and then i also read books from r.l. stine.
when i was in high school, i started reading these really thick romance novels. i used to ask my brother to borrow from his friends (our school library didn't have such novels because it's too detailed) so i could read them.
when i was in college, my cousin introduced me to john grisham's novels. up til now, the only novels i haven't read from john grisham's collection are his newly released novels.
i stopped reading books/novels when i started to work. the first work i had, i was in the night shift, so when i got home, i would rather sleep than read. at times, if sleep won't come to me that easily, i would read until i fell asleep.
this tuesday, peepee and i went to dog city along e.rodriguez avenue to buy dog kibbles. they ran out of stock and it won't be back in their shelves until this saturday. we were running out of kibbles and wednesday is coding day, so we cannot buy kibbles until today. the kibbles at home is only good until wednesday, so we had to just go to this other store somewhere along tomas morato. the name of the store is pet studio.
good thing we went to pet studio. not only do they have the brand we wanted, they were also located right next to this used book store called bound. while peepee was inside petstudio haggling with the lady, i was outside Bound, looking for nice titles.
i found three novels (Fortune's Mistress, Deadly Rich, and Texas Heat). i just finished reading fortune's mistress last night, and i'm now starting to read deadly rich today. to anyone who loves reading as much as i do, but don't wanna shell out big bucks for a good book, try going to Bound. the three books i bought totaled 130Php! cheapskate!!

is ocean adventure. we wanted to watch the dolphin show. they said you could swim in the beaches there. but, instead of swimming there, we could go to this resort right next to it..Camayan Beach Resort.

can't wait for it. i'm excited! everything is all planned. we just have to set the date. yihee!!!
busted!
my pc's busted. don't know why. when i got home on sunday, my cousin told me there was something wrong with the monitor. i checked it, the screen was blank. green light's blinking, but nothing else was coming up. i unhooked it from the back of the tower, turned it on, and saw the rgb box going around the screen. wasn't able to read what's written because it was in korean. thought it had something to do with the video card. so, i called peepee up and told him what's wrong. he also said the video card's busted. easy to replace, right?! no. my sister bought the pc as a bundle (when i told her not to buy bundled pc's), so everything's onboard.
i told momma what's wrong and i told her that the video card was onboard so the entire mobo has to go. she asked how much it would cost to replace it. i told her i'm not yet sure. i plan on rebuilding the pc. i wanted to replace the motherboard and replace everything in it. i wanted to change the ODD to a dvd/cd combo drive. i also wanted to change the processor to a core 2 duo and add more HDD to it. i also plan on removing the floppy because it's so retro. i want to keep the casing, if i could, as well as my monitor.
so right now, we pay the monthly dsl dues but we cannot use the computer. it sucks! can't even check my blog at home!

subic tour
first of all, thanks coach berns and coach angie for letting us go on vto this saturday!
this weekend, we went to ocean view beach resort for an outing. we left the house a little after 4am. we got to ate malou's house to pick up kuya alvin and giro. we left their place at around 4:30 in the morning. we arrived at the resort around 7 in the morning.
the resort was huge. it had a small area for those who wanted to play airsoft. it had cabanas everywhere and the rooms were behind the cabanas. i would not recommend going to the beach because the resort itself was located in an area where there were huge ships all around. had it not been that the ships were there, it would've been a great resort. the sand was as fine as the sand in boracay, minus the color. there were a bit of oil in the sand (because of the giant ships).
we then went to the pool to swim and it was fun!
after swimming for the entire day, we went to zoobic safari. sadly, it was already closed when we got there, but we still were able to see some tigers, and a couple of pot-bellied pigs. we were also able to see very sociable goats. we then went to ocean adventure to ask their rates and we then went to camayan beach resort, also to ask for their rates.
we promised giro that we'd go there next time. either on peepee's birthday or kuya alvin's birthday.
we were on our way home. it was dusk and we just left camayan beach resort. on the way, peepee happened to see tons of bats waking up from their sleep and flying off to search for food. he pointed it out to giro, but he couldn't see it clearly. so we stopped at the shoulder of the road and they got off the car. i stayed on the car and took pictures instead. i didn't want guanos on me. i've experienced it before in marinduque, when we went to bathala cave and it felt like it was raining inside the cave because of the bat droppings and their urine.
i was having a bit of a problem getting the code for the slide show in subic, but i'll try it later.

skyview resort, antipolo
last weekend, peepee and i went swimming in antipolo. we went there with our friends, katkat, kenneth, and their son karl, earl, macoy, and their son tonton, ryan, jeph, andrew and riza, lea, and bernard. after about a week of scouting for resorts, we settled on skyview resort in antipolo.
we got there at around 8 or 9pm. macoy earlier made kare kare (it was yummy, by the way) and she heated it up as soon as we got there. after settling down, macoy and i started to prepare the dishes. jeph was the one who grilled the liempo (marinade was done by macoy, and it was yummy too!). i made the grilled eggplant salsa. i also made the stuffed tilapia, but it was ryan who grilled it for us. after stuffing ourselves with food, they took out the drinks and started the drinking session right away.
for anyone who wants to go swimming but doesn't wish to go that far, we would recommend looking for places in antipolo. i recommend the place we went to for those who wanted to go out of town for the weekend, but let me warn you, though, the water is not suitable for drinking. they give out five gallons of drinking water, for free. one more thing, though. about the pool's water, it tasted funny. and katkat and i itched. but, all in all, the place is great.

bad trip naman!
why do women have to hav monthly visitors? at sutil pa talaga, most of the time it arrives either the day before or on the day you are scheduled to have fun!
pa'no kaya if women doesn't have to have it? siguro, ang saya nun kase we could do almost anything without worrying when the next scheduled visit will be.
bukas na kase yung swimming e! of all times na pwede shang dumating baket ngayon pa? ang awkward naman if i swim tapos meron ako diba?
hmmm...think, think, think...
i read somewhere when i was in high school about tampons. i read that pwede mag swim while wearing them. i asked manet if it's true. apparently it is. i asked her where i could buy them. she said she isn't sure, pero ana said i could check with either mercury drug or watson's. why not, poknat?!
