Guess who just maxed out her library card again? That’s an 8-book limit, by the way, and each book can be borrowed for 3 weeks, renewable for another 3 weeks for free provided the book has not been reserved by someone else. This picture perfectly describes me I think the Singapore libraries are awesome not […]
Blue Bloods by Melissa dela Cruz {Book Review}
I searched for the Blue Bloods series in the library upon Drew’s recommendation. Last week I finished all four books (Blue Bloods, Masquerade, Revelations, Van Alen Legacy) currently out of the Blue Bloods series. I even finished book 3 and 4 in one night. I sat down to finish book 3 in the library after […]
There are Vampires Everywhere
Forbes calls it the vampire craze. They’re on the big screen and the small screen. Why are vampires such a favorite staple for entertainment? In real life, would you dig being a vampire’s lover? I certainly would not! Before they made it to the screens, though, they were on paper, coming alive in our imaginations. […]
Sherlock Holmes {Movie Review}
Sherlock Holmes is the protagonist of one of my favorite mysteries since I was a child. He was the first world renown detective created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle in 1887. I even bought a hardbound compilation of all his stories from a bookstore in Lucky Plaza’s basement. It only cost me S$12. A bloody […]
Did You Have an Imaginary Friend?
Today on Facebook: Cel’s Status – Me: When I was your age, the househelp couldn’t iron our clothes. Nina: Why? Me: Because I forced them to play cards with me! Nina: Tita! You should have played with your imaginary friends! @_@ Kids say the darndest things. I never had an imaginary friend, though. Oh, I […]
Book Review: The Last Song and All of Nick’s Books
When my friends Chi and Ngangi asked me what I wanted for my birthday present, I asked for Nicholas Sparks’s latest book, The Last Song. What’s different about this book compared to all his others is that he first completed the screenplay before the book and that he wrote it specifically for Miley Cyrus. Here […]
Catching Fire {Book Review}
I did what I said yesterday and started reading Catching Fire, book 2 in Suzanne Collins’s The Hunger Games trilogy, today. I started in the afternoon and finished about an hour ago, just in time for me to watch The Mentalist on channel 5. Here’s the story from the dust jacket: Against all odds, Katniss has […]
The Hunger Games {Book Review}
Look what I ordered from the library. I say “ordered” because I didn’t pick them off the shelves. After reading rave reviews about them from Gim and Gio (hey, their names both start with the same letters), I just had to search for them in Singapore National library’s online portal. Turns out they have some […]
Have A Little Faith {Book Review}
I just finished Mitch Albom’s Have A Little Faith. It was a tearjerking good read, though not as good as his first, Tuesdays with Morrie. The synopsis from its jacket reads: What if our beliefs were not what divided us, but what pulled us together? In Have a Little Faith, Mitch Albom offers a beautifully […]
