My Darling Baby


Kobo Touch e-Reader


This is a picture of my new baby. It'll come to me this summer, unless i manage to convince a certain someone to post it to me before my birthday. My chances of that happening is a total jack shit, but I have to try.

Now, buying an e-reader doesn't mean that I'm abandoning real books. I'm not, it's just that in the conditioned I'm currently in, reading an e-book is the only way that I'll get to read. So hard to find a decent bookstore in this not so god forsaken town. I love real books, I could feel them, smell them and display them on my shelves proudly. Right now, the situation doesn't really call for it, e-books will do. Someday I'll buy all the hard copy of all the books I've read and put them on my bookshelves. For now, I'll just make the best of what I've got.

Here's to e-books and real books, I love you both just the same.

Guilty Pleasure

Did you see the picture of the books in the far right corner of my blog??? Those are my guilty pleasure books. I rarely tell people that I read those kinda books because, it's kinda hot and steamy. Don't get me wrong, those are not the only kind of books that i read, as a matter of fact I'm reading two books at the same time, most of the time. That is just my guilty pleasure books. I wanted to put pictures of my normal books in, but it'll look too crowded. The other book that I'm reading now is "Burglars Can't Be Choosers" by Lawrence Block. So far, so good.

Here's a shout out to all readers out there, may you books take you to extraordinary places, with adventure that stretch the limits of you imagination.

To Write or Not to Write

My biggest challenge in blogging is the fact that I have nothing to write about. That is why i focused more on Tumblr. I don't have to post anything, I just reblog some picture and it's done. But lately I found that there is not enough sincerity in the act of reblogging. It's quite meaningless, actually. I found myself jealous of others that manage to keep a well kept blogs. Some write about books, some write about life and some are just full of randomness that keep you reading.

So now in order to get writing, I need to figure out what I want to write about. I can't write about my life because I'm too paranoid that a stalker might read my post and decide to steal my identity. The only thing that the person need is to read my blog to become me. Thinking like this gives me nightmares. So maybe i just need to write about anything and see which one stick (excluding life). As I have mentioned in an earlier post, having little followers do gives me a freedom of speech. I guess I'll just take my time.

Here's to finding things to write about, and a wonderful adventure in finding it...

A New Year A New Face

I have finally muster the courage to give my blogger a new and better facelift. The last one that I did contributed to nothing. It is a great and utter shame of mine for having blogger and completely neglecting it, not to mention my reluctance on terminating it. All problems and neglectfulness aside it is still my first blog. It's been around for almost 2 years (I think)and the posts in this blog can be rivaled by a blog that have been established for only a mere month. Shame, complete and utter shame.

Here I shall renew my pathetic vows once again. I pledge to not neglect (again) my blogger and shall vigorously try my best to post something meaningful. In the spirit of the dragon year, maybe it's time to make something of myself and show hidden talent. The one that I'm determined to kept hidden for no other reason than the fear of other people wanting to use it and be asked to do things related to the aforementioned talent (selfish bastard I am).

I would also try to stop being a stalker (not likely to happen,but it's good to hope) and start following others blog by clicking the follow button instead of pressing "ctrl+d" and start stalking in the shadow. In the hope that they will follow me back. The pathetic amount of only 4 followers (one of them being myself) might give me a freedom of speech, but help to prove my sorry existence as a stalker. I have followed a shocking amount of 23 blogs. 15 of them are my friends/people i know and they have no idea that I'm following them. This too shall change, hopefully.

So here is to a new beginning. May the power of the dragon year be bestowed upon you.
