Busy days in Manila..

The Big 'E'

     If you are following me on twitter, you'll remember the beautiful book that I've been telling a few weeks back. Here's the story behind it: I went to my Alma mater on their first day of school. I stayed for a while in their clinic since I don't want to show myself to everybody, haha! Then I found this book at the top of the table that this cover really captured me. I mean, I know that he is an Arab boy, but I put it back again cause I don't know who owns it. And then I just keep looking at it that I finally gave up and start to read the back cover of the book, then read the first to third page where I found that it is actually authored and edited by Filipinos who is based here in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, where I'm actually staying right now, and that really gave me a big interest on it. And to know that it's an inspiring best selling book of Mario Aycardo Jr..  I asked the nurse to whom this book belongs and she told me that she got it from the school library. And she asked me if I liked it, then too kind of her to give it to me! Yay! I was so happy to arrive home with the book in my hand :D 

     This book is all about education, all the reason of it, stories behind it and even the thing that we actually experience when we study our lessons like, the things that distracts you every time you try to read notes, feeling sleepy, hungry etc. You can truly relate to its story and it's very-easy-to-read self-help-book! So I recommend "The Big E" to you! :)

I'm actually using a Bench tag as a bookmark. 'Cause the book is a Filipino-pride as well :)

I hope you like it! :)

Good Life

Sta. Catalina

     I know and always experience that whenever I'm in front of my laptop on how the bright screen can hurt our very eyes. That's the reason why I changed (again, like unending) the whole layout of my blog :) At least this dark background now isn't hard to look at, right? :D

     Anywaaaaay onto my post. As far as I can remember, since we had our vacation in Manila I haven't posted any, even once!(Sorry for that) Too bad. So, after we arrived in Manila, after a week we went to the seafood-capital-of-the-philippines Roxas, our province! 

     Here's what happened, on the next day, we went to a first mass of Sta. Catalina church for a thanksgiving..
