The truth is, I only ever plan for a single book fair event… the Manila International Book Fair held every September. I would save up a little whenever I can until I have a decent budget to work with. It was all planned out and I didn’t think I would be tapping into that little book…

On book hauls and bringing kids to the Manila International Book Fair 2016
I missed the Manila International Book Fair the last three years. Three. Years. 2013 was the year I got married in September. 2014 was the year I gave birth and September was my very convenient due date. And 2015 was all the busyness of being a mom and September was all about a 1st birthday…
On starting my new blogging year late and the (cute) reason behind it
It’s been three months and two days since my last post and, again, it feels weird trying to come up with a blog entry after a hiatus. I’ve about half a dozen anime titles that I’ve yet to share my thoughts on. And the reason for my recent absence? Well, any semblance of a regular…
On OC tendencies and how they disrupt my TV viewing
I had plans, you know. Marvin had to chauffer around some relatives for the next couple of days, so I decided that I was going to reward my poor self (pregnant self-pity at work; I don’t like being away from the husband too long). After much consideration and factoring in that I’ve been making good…
On reading more and accepting the ebook format
2013 wasn’t entirely a productive year of blogging for me, but I could at least count a win for my reading list the past year. This blog’s category on books is one that I have to shamefully admit I’ve neglected, particularly because it’s hardest for me to discuss my thoughts about what I’ve just read. Reading has always been…
On infrequent blogging practices
I’m not really sure if anybody’s following this blog regularly, but if you are, then I apologize because my blogging rate the past months has been abysmal. Considering that this is a passion project, I hate that I had to put blogging on the back-burner. But what can you do… you only get to be…
On celebrating Christmas until February
Since it’s Christmas eve, I decided to post this sneak-tastic video from Community. Why this video? Because I love Community and I can’t wait for its February 7, 2013 release (although it will always be an October 19, 2012 release in our hearts). Because I love the idea that come February, there will be a…
On waiting for A Memory of Light and former unfounded fears for The Wheel of Time
What do you know… despite the recent setbacks, last week turned out fine after all. There were a couple of pretty awesome internet finds earlier in the week that lifted my spirits, namely the cast photo of Neil Gaiman‘s Neverwhere radio series (Benedict Cumberbatch! James McAvoy! Anthony Stewart Head!) and the teaser trailer for the…
On practical and impractical Christmas wish list items
Last year, I debated about writing a post containing my Christmas wish list. I figured none of those who stumble on my blog would actually buy me a gift, so I decided against it. But since I’m currently on my misery train that is the sickness caused by the current global warming-affected holiday weather, I…
On canceled TV weekend plans and sad TV news
I had a plan. On account of last week’s Thanksgiving holiday in the US, I received my Thursday and Friday article assignments on Wednesday night. The plan was to finish everything on Thursday, so I can have an extra day to catch-up on my anime and TV series viewing list (I was behind on the…
