Nakapunta ba kayo sa Book Fair? Ten books ang nabili ko, mostly from Anvil Press (super bagsak presyo kasi sila!). Almost 800 pesos ang naubos ko (I must admit na I regret not bringing more funds), peror sisiw lang ang nagastos ko compared to Phillip (almost 3000 pesos ang worth ng nabili niyang libro).
The ten books I bought are:
1. Edad Medya: Mga Tula sa Katanghaliang Gulang (Jose F. Lacaba)
2. Love Woman (Ophelia Dimalanta)
3. Witch's Dance at iba pang tula sa Filipino at Espanyol (Marra PL. Lanot)
4. A Madness of Birds (J. Wendell Capili)
5. The Philippines (Jean Mallat)
6. Manananggal Terrorizes Manila and other stories (Jessica Zafra)
7. Lyrics from a Dead Language (Eric Gamalinda)
8. Twisted II: Spawn of Twisted (Jessica Zafra)
9. Mens Rea and other stories (Lakambini Sitoy)
10. Catfish arriving in little schools (Clinton Palanca, Gina Apostol, Jaime An Lim, edited by Ricardo de Ungria)

Just finished Episode 18 of "Brothers and Sisters." Ms. Mel insisted I have to watch this series by ex- Ally McBeal Callista Flockhart. And now, I'm hooked! The series is comparable to 7th Heaven, but more closer to reality, or what reality really means. I can relate to the characters' imperfection, or to reach their goal to become a perfect member of the Walker family. Para akong engot na sobrang iyak habang nanonood. Hindi ko mapigilan kasi. Try ninyo panoorin.
