The 36th Manila International Book Fair (2015)

Time really fly so fast!

It’s our favorite time of the year again and I want to share it with you so you can save the date as well!.

Oh wait I just realized that due to my over business last year I was not able to share our 2014 MIBF experience. Well forgive me, it’s part of my unsuccessful "365 Day Blogging Challenge". And ok I will really try (no promises though) to share something about our 2014 MIBF experience one of these days but for now, I’m inviting you all to this annual event and see for yourselves why am I sooo excited about this!

The 36th (BIG WOW!) Manila International Book Fair (MIBF 2015) is happening on September 16 to 20, 2015 from 10AM to 8PM at SMX Convention Center, Mall of Asia Complex.

They have around two hundred numbers of exhibitors on the list (Yes I counted them ha ha) and an exciting schedule of special events that you can find here.

See you all at the fair!

Sunday Poem and Photograph: She Who Loves The Beach

It’s the second week of the new year and the official summer time in tropical Philippines is still two months short and yet all I’m thinking about is the beach. While people were stressing themselves with the holiday rush and parties, I was busy hopping from one beach to another. I know this sounded weird but as I’ve said on my new year's post , I’m having flighty feet lately and my body has been shouting to spend time with nature specifically to the beach. But, family and work obligations got in the way during the summer so when I got the chance to take a vacation I grabbed all the opportunities! The hell I care about the cold December breeze I went beach and island hopping! I even ignore a gorgeous year-end party at the Palace Pool Club and declined other holiday-related invitations.

Tomorrow Is Not Promised

I was going around my stuff that I packed two years ago, back in the time when I decided that I’m done with the corporate world. I realized that I did not check back to this box-load of stuff since I packed it when I exited that world of mine. The sad thing is that, I’m digging this box because I’m looking for a document that will support a stupid system that halted something that I had worked so hard for a couple of weeks. I was feeling upset and frustrated while doing the digging. I realized there are lots of things in this box that I really really love. They are of no financial values. Just the silly stuff that I can’t take away so I just keep them. As I picked and tousled things, I came across some small notebooks where I used to write anything that I can think of at the moment. One of the small notebooks is a favorite since college days. It is covered with my stamp collections and in it are my favorite quotations, prose, phrases and some poems that I personally wrote.
