The Bookworm Confessions

Not mine. But a home library I would want in my own.

Happy Monday to all!

The homeowners’ association is already ordering Halloween invitations so they can send it out as early as third week of this month. They want to spread the word that there will be a bigger Halloween celebration this year. Last year was a blast for the little kids and that’s it. This time around, rumors are flying that the adults will have their own party, too!

Now, that’s something to look forward to. I need to prepare for a Halloween costume already.

I don’t have someone to go with me but I think I would still want to go on a Branson, Missouri vacation. I am checking out Branson vacation packages and will choose one better suited for my purpose. I am actually in need of a vacation to unwind.

We are all so busy with our lives that we forget we are human and not robots. We should think of leisure, too, you know. So go on a vacation when you can. Unwind. I will. And I am excited about it!

A local cafe cum bookstore is buying log furniture that they can use for the redecoration of their place. I love the rustic feel of the cafe. It’s so unlike the modern ones I frequent. I love wood and books together. And coffee and wood. I just feel that coffee shops and bookstores should be in a wood setting.

I think the store will be buying teak wood. It will go well with the teak wood bar that was set up inside already.

My friends and I were talking about what halloween costumes we would wear come Halloween party of a common friend of ours. I am thinking about going as a worm. You know, bookworm. Hahaha! My friends will be going as vampires and as a white lady. Very common, I said. Mine is a unique idea.

What do you think of my halloween costume idea? Great, isn’t it? Not unique really but something not commonly worn by those attending Halloween parties. What will you be wearing?

I love how you can buy gifts online easily. You can have Hanukkah Gifts delivered everywhere with just a quick order online. Lori forgot to give something for Hanukkah to her friends. She was so busy with work that she forgot what day it was. When she realized it, the day was already over. Sincerely sorry for what happened, she immediately went online, ordered Hanukkah gifts and had it delivered to her friends’ houses.

That’s the beauty of the world wide web. Gifts easily ordered online and delivered anywhere you want to.

Gia needs additional income this month. She needs to pay for her tuition fees as well as save up for the payment for a big credit card purchase she made last July. She needs the additional income to cover up the interest of that purchase.

So she is getting a small loan from her aunt to get wholesale lots of some items she can resell. All the profit she will earn from this endeavor will go to the payments she’s saving up for.

The company is looking for a vendor to service their business card printing needs. They just had their company logo redesigned so all the business cards of the management will be printed again. New logo, new cards, of course.

I remember I worked for a company wherein in a period of two years we had three reprinting of business cards. And all because there was a change in company logo and company colors. And then there was a change in contact numbers the last time. Good thing there are affordable printing services a company can avail of already.

Pia is getting her dad some mens ties. Her dad will be going on an international conference and she wants to make sure that her dad will have something manly elegant to put on. His dad is a very practical person. So when he shops for his clothes, he buys affordable ones. Pia wants something that will make his dad stand out among the group of men he will be meeting.

Even with just his ties, that is…

My Uncle Fredo always wanted to collect gold coins. He has a collection of coins from different countries and that’s where the gold coin quest came from. He has the funds to buy gold coins with. The only problem he has is where to get a legitimate one and the subsequent storage.

The US Gold Bureau gave him the solution he needs. Through them, Uncle Fredo can buy only legitimate gold coins. After purchase, they can arrange for personal delivery to you or store it in a safe place on your behalf. That solves his problems! I do believe my uncle is ready to buy his first batch of gold coins!

While waiting for a friend, I was able to consume a venti of Java Chip Frap and three chapters of Fallen. I set aside the book for later read because there were other books I wanted to read right away.

Now, I normally don’t like being made to wait. But this time around, I didn’t notice the time since the frap was really good and the book better.

The fair girl went on her knees and bent over me, fairly gloating. There was a deliberate voluptuousness which was both thrilling and repulsive, and as she arched her neck she actually licked her lips like an animal… I could feel the soft, shivering touch of the lips on the supersensitive skin of my throat, and the hard dents of two sharp teeth, just touching and pausing there.
- Bram Stoker, Dracula

One of my favorite books, Dracula by Bram Stoker. I do believe it’s still the most sensual vampire movie I’ve seen. Especially since I am a huge fan of Gary Oldman!

Don’t you think this is a great reading spot?

I do think so. There’s enough light coming from the window at the back of the oh-so-comfy looking couch. I am the type of reader who loves lying down while devouring a book. I also love corners where I can bawl my eyes out when I am reading an emotionally-charged scene. So this spot is just right for me.

What about you?

I really wish I have more than enough funds to buy all the books I want. And to invest on gold bullion, too. Lately, I’ve been thinking more and more about the future. I am thinking of how I can invest my hard earned money on something that will give me back more than what a person normally earns in an investment. Of course, I want my money to grow. Who doesn’t want that? The US Gold Bureau has the information I need regarding investment in gold, silver, and other precious metals. I need to increase my funds so that I can have enough books to keep me company as I grow old.

I would be most content if my children grew up to be the kind of people who think decorating consists mostly of building enough bookshelves.
