What's Up: "Unwinding"

Happy Birthday to my cousin Jennifer! <3

----------

Before the Examination ends I planned to give myself a one day "Free day" wherein I can do anything
I want... Except studying. 

To Do List:
>Buy books
>Read books
>Eat pasta
>Go Karaoke
>Read Manga
>Roam around Araneta Center
>Walk, Talk and have fun with a friend
>Laugh


Books:
I was curious about this book because it was placed in the shelves "Must read fiction" in a bookstore that I went to. I bought this because I'm a fan of Paulo Coelho. His works changed the way I handle everyday situations, the way I see things in life and his words made me feel like I'm an individual separated from other people. He's a great novelist and I respect his opinions very much.


I haven't started reading this book though. Maybe in May... So currently I have 9 books by Paulo Coelho. ^^V


The Movie adapted novel by one of the highly respected Asian Author Haruki Murakami. His books are all placed in the "Literary award winner". I first stumbled upon his works when I was randomly checking out books in a bookstore way back 2009. The first book I had by him was "After dark". I don't really know him by then, but since he's Japanese I tried to read it. (that was a petty reason, yes I know.) What I can really say is that he have his own technique in writing, not straightforward and it made me analyzed his every words in the novel. I read it for 3 times because I can't really comprehend what he's trying to say but I appreciate all his works.


Eat Pasta:

I'm with my cousin's girlfriend today. We had so much fun even though we don't have much money. LOL

We went to karaoke, talked about random things. The past, present and future. We had a conversation. haha! We have so much in common and I guess that's the reason why I like her very much.

And then we ate pasta. Lasagna with pizza, fries and onion bread. It's very unhealthy but hey! it's only for a day. ^^V

After that I showed her the stores and other boutiques that I knew. The "Reading room", it's an accessories shop. "Genshiken" was supossed to be an action figure store but we were surprised when we saw japanese vintage collection stuffs. Maybe the old owner decided not to sell the items. sigh.

And then we went to thrift shops. I browsed some old books while Ran-nee had fun with the old stuffed toys.

Those were the things that I did. I know that they were not very exciting or adventurous but at least I was able to forget all my worries.

Things that made me happy:
>Laughter
>Pasta
>New Books
>Freedom

Blog // Easter Sunday

Happy Easter Sunday everyone!

Eggs and Bunny are everywhere... why oh why I can't see any image of Jesus Christ? It's sad to finally realize that fewer people actually know how to celebrate the season. Maybe because everyone has their reason... I just hope those reasons are not void... but hey... there's no such thing as void reason in God's eyes.

Things that made my day:
>Ramen
>Bunny
>Colorful eggs
