Been reading this this New York Times bestseller, What Should I Do with My Life? written by Po Bronson. It’s a compilation of stories of real people who answered life’s ultimate question. I must say, it was a compelling and interesting read. I decided to write down some of the passages that most struck me […]
A Creepy Love Story: Even Death Won’t Do Us Part
I’ve been reading this interesting non-fiction book entitled Around the World in 80 Dates by Jennifer Cox. The premise is about this woman who goes on a quest to find her soulmate by dating 80 men all over the world. I must say, I’m learning a lot of interesting stuff, like this tidbit: Verona was […]
Wanted {Movie Review}
Choose your destiny, goes the tagline of this yet another comic book adaptation. I was contemplating going home because I was already sleepy, but the movie kept me wide awake and at the edge of my seat all throughout. I found myself relating to the lead character, Wesley, who felt, at the beginning of the film, that […]
The Y Chromosome {Book Review}
It was around fourth grade when the X-Men and Sweet Valley Twins first became popular in our school, and I remember that an argument once erupted in our class as to which was better. The boys, naturally, were on the side of the mutants while the girls, also naturally, defended their blonde sixth grade characters. […]
John Grisham Fan
The Runaway Jury had been sitting on my bedside stand for three months with the bookmark stuck after chapter two when I packed my bags to fly to Korea. I always make it a point to bring a book on flights lest I get bored while waiting to board, so it got swept into my […]
The Choice by Nicholas Sparks {Book Review}
Synopsis:‘Stories are as unique as the people who tell them, and the best stories are those in which the ending is a surprise.’ So begins THE CHOICE. It perfectly describes its author’s works of art. Nicholas Sparks comes up with another must-read tearjerker about great love. Travis Parker is an attractive young man who seems […]
Endless Love: Spring Waltz
As if I don’t get enough Korean exposure at work (my AP market is Korea and I deal with Koreans everyday), I get my dose of Korean kilig on Monday to Thursday nights right before I sleep by watching Spring Waltz on ABS-CBN. Call me corny, but I’m a sucker for kilig moments. My favorite […]
Stardust {Movie Review}
Stardust is a fantasy tale about Tristan, an awkward young man who wants to cross a gap in the wall into a magical world so he can pick up a fallen star and present it as a gift to win his beloved’s hand in marriage. When his determination brings him to Stormhold, the magical world […]
The Secret by Rhonda Byrne
I was in National Bookstore last Saturday and I was that they were having a sale so I went in and bought two books I’ve always wanted at 20% off — 7 Habits of Highly Effective People and The Secret. The latter was listed in last month’s cosmo must-read list, so this was the first […]
Seven Habits of Highly Effective People
I signed up for the Seven Habits of Highly Effective People signature program being offered in our company. It was a three-day session which meant tons of emails and problematic invoices for troubleshooting likely to pile up, but I felt that I badly needed this and could do with the consequences. I sure am glad […]
