The Fifth Marauder

i haven't blogged in ages. it's because microblogging in twitter has spoiled me. and just about an hour ago i signed up for a plurk. add me up guys! hehehe.

but the good news is, i have finally finished reading kafka on the shore after carrying it around for about a month. i am trying to start the historian by elizabeth kostova as i needed a slightly more mababaw book after murakami. he's still not on my fave authors list but after the bleh-ness that is after dark and south of the border, west of the sun, he totally redeemed himself to me in kafka on the shore. it's still kinda bleh, but after dark is much bleh-er. hahaha. bleh. hahahaha.

and while we are on the topic of books, i got 3 new ones. or rather i bought one and my cousin shari got me the other two. booksale totally rocks. i bought bridget jones 2:edge of reason (because i miss reading something from the chick lit category) for 110 pesos, and my cousin got me my own copy of white oleander by janet fitch for my birthday (still 110 pesos) and the no.1 ladies' detective agency by alexander mcall smith for 70 pesos just because she's a book shopaholic. hahaha. money is kinda hard to come by nowadays so we just ransack booksale instead of powerbooks and fully booked. hahaha. the only downside about getting "old" books is that we don't get the new book smell. hehehe.

i should really really start reviewing again.

yet another entry about books. sorry naman it's not as if i have a real job or something. hahaha. so i have been trying really hard to read the historian by elizabeth kostova, and after 2 weeks of carrying it around, i have gotten as far as.. chapter 4, page 33. the book has 20 chapters and 816 pages. even on the days that i'm really reaaly bored, i would watch whatever crap there is on tv instead of picking up this book. that's how disinterested i am with it. hay. it's just that maybe i was expecting it to be as fast-paced as one of them dan brown books. it's funny coz i told myself after finishing kafka on the shore that i needed a "lighter" book to read so that i won't feel so bleh (please refer to my previous entry hehe). i need something from the chick lit genre perhaps? hehehe

i have been trying to "stock" my shelves on shelfari. my only problem is that i have forgotten some of the books that i have read. so what i do is that i browse the shelves of my shelfari friends (i have a grand total of 3 yipee hahaha) and i would see a book that we have both read and add it to mine. and then when i stop to admire my restocked shelf (hahaha i do the same thing to my real bookshelf or rather book pile at home) and i realized that i do not read a particular genre. wala lang. maybe it's because i don't buy my own books when i was bit younger and helped myself to my cousin's own collection. i wish i could find my own book identity. like leki did. hehehe.

so i am currently scouring my cousin's bookshelf for a book to replace the historian in my bag. i know i know i have like 10 unread books in my own collection but i am saving 3 of those for my in-flight entertainment and the other 7 to amuse myself with when i go on exile in illinois. hahaha

hahaha i can't remember the rest of the school hymn anymore. anyway, i was at manresa earlier because i had to have the xerox copy of my hs diploma certified, as it is one of the requirements for applying abroad. i got a little lost because apparently the registrar's and accounting offices are now accessible from the parking lot. and a lot of things has changed inside the school! grabe the 1st floor CR is actually usable and clean and sweet smelling now! and the library is now located on top of bsh, aka our school canteen. basta, asenso na ang manre! and then i ran into mrs faller, ms austria, and mrs midel. apparently miss pat is also still there but i didn't see her. same for miss baclagan.

anyway i tried walking from school to watson's phase 1 and along the way i ran into kyla and her hubby. chatted for a while and can i just say that i was the one who looked more pregnant. hehe.

i am already running low on tinted moisturizer. originally i wanted to buy a tube of skin food bb cream but i don't have the dough for it so i decided to get the nivea tinted moisturizer instead. i seem to have lost my favorite revlon colorstay retractable eyeliner in black brown but again i don't have the money to buy a replacement, and since i have a ton of sample sized eyeshadows (thanks to my titas' continued patronage of lancome and clinique products hehe) and an eyeliner brush, i will use those for the time being. good luck. i can't leave the house anymore without TM, loose powder, and eyeliner on anymore pa naman.

i think it took me more than an hour to construct this blog entry. damn you plurk and your 140 character limit. hahaha
