To Kill a Mockingbird | 1960

Merry Christmas sa lahat! Natupad ang isa sa mga wishlist ko, na mabasa ang Hunger Games trilogy. Well, hindi nga lang sa hard copy. Nakahanap ako sa internet ng ebook nito. Ngayon sobrang hook na ako, gusto ko ng tapusin pero hindi ako sanay na basahin sa computer kaya kung ano mang pamasko ko ngayon malamang mapupunta sa libro. Pagkatapos mag noche buena, inumpisahan ko ng magbasa. Kakagulat lang kasi, pagtingin ko sa oraasan 5:02AM na! pero nasa page 300 na ako kaya ok lang munang huminto. Pero alam mo yung ‘di mo ma-contain yung excitement na gusto mo ng isearch kung ano mangyayari pero kaylangan mong pigilin. anyway, i dont want to bore you all. i cant wait sa ‘till march para sa pelikula nito. And just to add, kailangan pala meron akong pera this 2012 para sa mga inaabangan kong pelikula at mapanuod sa sine. Merry Christmas!

was supposed to buy to kill a mockingbird, but got this one instead.

no regrets tho.

my-capillaries-scream:

I’m saddened that so many people look down on reading as if it’s a “bad” thing or something only “nerds” do. WHY would you EVER be ashamed about reading a book? Books shape people. They expand knowledge, create new worlds, inspire. How do you think people were entertained or learned about things before there was the internet? It just makes me really sad that so many people are bored by books. And generally, it’s the people that don’t like reading that desperately need books in their life the most. There’s nothing like being completely immersed in a good story. A temporary escape from reality, a visit to a new world. So many people can’t be captivated by something if it’s not flashing in front of their face nowadays. Things that are visually interesting are certainly enjoyable- but after a while you’re mindless, just watching the images on a screen. Whoever has created the show, film, whatever has already deemed what is what and how things look. With books you get an outline with all the details on what the picture should look like but you’re handed the tools to create the world however your heart desires it to look. This is really scattered and not well organized, but it was just something I was thinking about the past while.

after months of searching, nakita ko din ang Sundays at Tiffany’s sa booksale, medyo may kamahalan nga lang unlike sa iba. I’m looking forward to read it na at syempre mapanuod yung movie na dinodownload ko na. *wink* And yung Drowning Anna tapos ko ng mabasa, it’s a good read din.. sobrang worth ang 20php! yes, 20 lang siya sa booksale.
