What is the last book you’ve read?

365 QOTD

What is the last book you’ve read?

I am still reading Sapiens. Booo. I started it in March and it’s June now. BOOO. I have Batman Philosophy on the way via Amazon too. But I wanted to read A Universe in A Nutshell by Stephen Hawking too before I read A Brief History of Time. Hayst. I thought I will have time to read this school vacation but it seems that the Japanese language test reviewing took most of my time. Oh well.

A life coach once said that in our lifetime, we need to have at least 150 books to read again and again. I think, I am not yet even halfway that. But I really can’t recall most of the books I’ve read in the past unless otherwise I get to see a passage that would send a trigger of memory for me to recall how the content of such book made me feel. How it changed me and how I carry it with me. Yes, I take book quotes, heartily. Even movie quotes.

Today, I cooked breakfast and packed a very light lunch. I have been wanting to make a legit obento, but since I am not eating rice a lot, I am still thinking of alternative ways as to what I want to have in my obento box. HEHE. (Excuses of a lazy old lady)

Lately, I have been feeling the signs of aging in my face. The fine lines underneath my eyes and the dark circles with it. Thirties is great but it would probably greater to share it with someone, right? Until then, I will just keep saying “thank you” whenever people say that I look younger than my real age.

I want to write something dating and meeting people but I realize that I haven’t been meeting a lot of people and so, I am still trying to figure out my points to ponder for that write up. Until then, as we call it in Filipino, it’s a “drawing”. Not even a draft.

PH Stock market is down. I haven’t opened my portfolio in a month, and I think I will just keep it that way for now. I received a very small amount of dividend last week which then becomes a buying capital but I haven’t decided yet if I will clear my portfolio and sell everything then buy new sets of stocks of if I will just add more of those down prices now for later selling. Nuninuninuni…. (I am thinking as if I really have a big capital out in the market. LOL)

I work 5 days straight this week and I am not used to it anymore. I just can’t for that Sunday off again.

Ooopps. Time’s up. Complaint list full for now.

    I'm reading Men Without Women by Murakami.

    Regarding reading at least 150 books again and again, the bible is 66 books. I'm on my third reading. Pero madami pa rin akong binabasa ng paulit-ulit.

    Interesting ang mga books mo cher Kat :)

    At bakit ang hirap talagang maglaan ng oras sa pagbabasa? Lalo na dahil sa work; akala ko nung bakasyon makakabasa ako ng marami pero hindi rin, nahiya na ako sa mga libro ko, inaalikabok na sila. Ayokong maging hoarder lang ng libro lol

The Man Behind the Metaphors

The skies had been dark like a storm is coming. It had been raining the whole night long and when I woke up that day, I had fears that Sir Jonathan can’t come to school anymore due to the heavy downpour. I opted not to ask for I may just get the dreaded response. I prepared for school. Ate breakfast, brought my laptop since I thought I may just have to stop by a coffee shop after school and finish the item analysis I am doing. It was very difficult to get a ride. I wish I can afford to buy a car and save myself and my stuff from getting wet and so that I can bring more things to school for experiments and so that I can to all the places I wanna go to and I don’t have to worry about over-packing stuff and I have thought about all of these just because its raining heavily and I have no school bus anymore L When I arrived, the school seem deserted. No kids nor parents were at the gate. The guard told me that the principal decided to suspend the class lest the heavy rains cou...

11 Things I Will Miss

Malapit na malapit na! Magpapaalam na ko sa pagkabampira. Ang pinakaunang kong career ay nagsimula sa BPO hanggang sa napadpad na ko sa mga “captive sites” companies, at hindi ko ipagkakaila ang malaking pasasalamat ko sa   pagkakataong naibigay sakin sa loob nang mahigit anim na taon. Marami akong natutunan, maraming nais kalimutan at syempre mas marami yung nais kong manatili lalo na yung pagkakaibigan at mga aral sa buhay na nabuo habang ako'y nasa trabaho at nakikisalamuha. Dahil ako ay magbabagong-buhay, nag-isip ako ng mga bagay na talaga namang mamimiss ko pag umalis ako sa pagka nocturnal being. 1. Airconditioned Office - Ang init ngayon! Obvious naman, ang mga callcenters/corporate centers ay may aircons, may alam ba kayong hindi? Ipagbigay alam sa kinauukulan.  2. Ergonomic Chair - na most of the time ay ergonomic bed na din. Natuto akong matulog nang nakaupo.--those split-second moments of opportunity para makadaupang-palad si Sleep.  3....

Just a few days ago, I posted   This Is Plagiarism   together with other write ups. And I never thought I would have this kind of Reply from   Mr. Tripster   J   who called himself   The Epaloid Lover na Feeling Ako Yung Sinulatan Here’s the entire comment: Mr. Tripster 14 March 2013 08:39 This is epalness.... Hi! I'm fine. It's really great to hear from you. I'm not trapped in the future, I do not dwell in the past. I'm simply in your dreams. You have difficulty finding me because you sometimes look in the wrong places and in the wrong moments of the day. Therefore, I cannot manifest in your world. My present is a blur and yet it's blissful. But everything will be clear if we both make a decisive choice and a giant leap of faith in our lives. How soon? I really don't know. We don't ask silly questions. It's just that sometimes we need wisdom. I'd like to be there now. But I'm no master of my time. I'm n...
