The Bookworm Confessions

So I took out the books that I have here in my corner. It is inside a small box. These are the books that I am reading and that are piling up to be read. I had problems with small bugs, the ones that crawls and feeds on papers. I was afraid it will eat [...]

I am taking all my books out of my boxes to clean it out and cover it all with plastic. I am afraid that there are small bugs in my boxes already. Anyway, since I will see all my books later, expect a mad rush of posts published after lunch today. Stay tuned. Happy Thursday!

Glass half full. I was told that when you look at life the positive way, it will look back at you positively. I do believe in that. I think that everything happening in our lives is up to us. I mean life can deal you a bad hand but you can turn that into an [...]

I have been reading books my whole life. I know how satisfying it is to read a book every one is raving about. It is also highly satisfying to introduce a great book to family and friends. There weren’t many books when I was a kid because of financial constraints but there are many, many [...]

Blessings come when you least expect it. It also comes in different packages. Mine came in the form of an email a couple of hours ago. It really made my day! I am telling you, I felt so blessed when I read it. I have been praying really hard the past couple of days. You [...]

I have so many books waiting to be read here with me. My pile of unread books is growing and I know it will grow some more. I have my eye on some new books that I want to buy. And let me tell you this. Not only am I hoarding paperbacks. I am also [...]

Did you know that there’s a Robert Pattinson Comic Book coming out this month (May 26th)? Yeah, I didn’t know, too. Published by Bluewater Productions, the comic is supposed to “trace Pattinson’s career from his first performance in Tess of the D’Urbervilles at London’s Barnes Theatre to his star turn in the Twilight movies”. So, [...]

When I was a kid, we didn’t have much. We were content with what we had and never asked for much from our parents. That’s because we knew that our budget was just enough for the basic needs of the family. One of the things I always dream about back then was to own a [...]

My brother was an old soul at 14. He loved old songs more than the new ones. His favorite was How Deep Is Your Love that time he was already sick. We all knew he might be in love for the first time with the sister of his best friend. But he died even before [...]

So I am listing down all the reviews I owe you, guys. I am starting with Intensity since that’s the one I’ve posted the last time I did an update. Also, I am listing down some movies I’ve seen in the cinema or in HBO. I will post reviews of it here, too. For now, [...]

I don’t read that much these days. In fact, magazines are the only materials I read for the past few weeks. Why? I am just not into novels at the moment. My books are piled up high beside my computer. I don’t feel like meeting any of the characters in the books I’ve bought. I [...]

So I realized I haven’t posted any of the book reviews I made! Boo! Well, let me tell you that I am still polishing it a bit and will start posting tomorrow morning. I have done reviews on Intensity and Hush, Hush. I have also done some movie reviews. Will post it in a bit, [...]

I get inspired to write during odd hours. It’s when everyone’s either asleep or when everyone’s talking and I am not included in the conversation. For some reason, ideas become clearer to me during those times. Probably the cacophony of sounds during conversations or the lack of it when everyone’s asleep. Plus, smooth jazz stimulates [...]

Oh yes, I am back! For weeks and weeks, I cannot access any Google-related sites for some reason. I almost had my pc reformatted. Fortunately, the technician has other important things to attend to so he was not able to pay me a visit. Last night, I searched Google for the reason why I can’t [...]
