july book challenge

wow... i'm on my second month for the book challenge and so far i'm still keeping up with my pace. slowed down a bit on my english books reading though. i was into teen's books this month after reading 2 suspense books which i didn't liked that much.
let's see what happens on my third month.. :)

real friends & bday

so very true.
and i know my close friends' birthdays.. even some of my not so close friends. hehe..
i just like to take note of people's special day. :)

cinderella cleaners: change of a dress

"Behind the counter at Cinderella Cleaners, Diana watches the clothes come and go. She loves to imagine the exciting events that the different outfits might be worn to. Then one day, Diana reaches into the pocket of a fancy coat-and finds an invitation to a glittering gala in New York City. Since the coat's owner is out of town, Diana gets a wild idea. With the help of some savvy friends, one glamorous dress, and a lot of improvising, Diana pretends to be someone she's not, and makes it into the party! Will she be discovered, or will her disguise come off without a hitch?"

rapunzel

" Rapunzel is having the ultimate bad day. She's been stolen by a witch, may have a ghost for a roommate, and doesn't even have a decent brush for her hair.
Prince Benjamin's got it pretty tough, too. His father wants him to be more kingly, his mother wants him to never leave her sight, and his cousin wants to get him into as much trouble as possible (preferably with a troll).
Both Rapunzel and Prince Benjamin are trapped -- in very different ways. Once their paths cross, well, that's when things REALLY get strange."

sleeping beauty

" It's not easy being Princess Rose. Especially when a fairy curses you and you find yourself avoiding all sharp objects... and then end up pricking your finger anyway, causing you to slumber for a hundred years.
And it's not easy being The Prince. Especially when your mother has some ogre blood and tends to chow down at the most unfortunate moments. A walk in the woods would help, you think. Until you find a certain hidden castle...and a certain sleeping princess. Happily ever after? Not until the prince helps the princess awaken...and brings her home to Mother."

bon chon

finally! i was able to try bon chon. i was wondering what the craze was all about.



mom and youngest sis ordered the sandwich with fries meal while 2nd sister had the fish and rice meal (i didn't take photos of them, hehe). dad and i had the thigh chicken meal. all were soy flavored since we all don't like spicy. :)



it was just flavored fried chicken thigh with rice and drink. the chicken was itself was tasteless and oily looking when it was served (i think it was because of the soy glaze they say). only the breading or skin had some flavor, too bad for those who refuse to eat skin. personally, i absolutely wouldn't try it again. it's a rip off for php145 for just a simple meal of 2 pcs fried chicken, rice and drink.

2nd sister shared some of her fried fish which she totally loved but i found it common. tasted like the usual fried fish in those fish and fries dishes. the chicken burger looked good but the problem was it was served as is. i was used to the fastfood serving where burgers were wrapped. mom had a hard time eating her burger since the sauce would be dripping every now and then, it was messy.

i don't think i'd be visiting bon chon anytime soon. i was so disappointed. maybe i'll try it again next time at another branch. maybe there'll be difference. who knows?

haircut day

just had my haircut this morning...
had to wait an hour for the salon to open. sister asked yesterday what time will they be open, owner told her 9am. but when we got there, it was already past 9 and someone inside is still cleaning the place. and no sign of any hairstylist.

anyway, apple who cut my hair said that my haircut would be straight layered. i was confused, is it straight or layered? haha.. well, it looks ok, looks the same with my usual hairstyle which is straight. but there were added layers to make it look better. haha...

sorry, no pics since i'm shy. haha..

proposal

my PHR life

I've been a reader of tagalog pocketbooks since my elementary years. During my college days, I would be spending less on my lunch just to be able to buy your books from a reseller just near the LRT station going home. When I had my first job, buying the books became a part of my usual expenses. As years passed, I didn't notice how much my collection had came to be.

Two years ago, I decided to dispose some of them. It took me some time to finally be able to sort through them, take pics and upload them online to sell. It was hard at first, being an newbie in the online market. Making the first sale was memorable. A lot had happened during the one year on my online selling stint. Made some frequent buyers and also some scammers. Was even called a scammer by someone and his/her idea of having me and one buyer "fight" claiming i said negative things to buyer and vice versa.

Until now, I still buy pocketbooks and still my collection's growing. I just can't help it. I'm addicted to books. :(
