• Kokology by Tadahiko Nagao & Isamu Saito [to entertain myself]
• Any sudoku/logic book [again, to entertain myself]
• Love in the Time of Cholera by Gabriel Gael Marquez [because I've always wanted to read it but never got around to doing so]
• Captain Corelli's Mandolin by Louis de Berniéres [because it's lovely, and it's the kind of book I can read over and over again]
• The Bible [because I need it/to keep me sane]

• It's Not About Me by Max Lucado
• Brave New World by Aldous Huxley
• The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold [even though I read it like, two months after it was published. She should have written it earlier. ]

• A Semester in the Life of a Teenage Dirtbag by Gordon Korman. No, it's not a deep book, no profound life insights, etc. In fact, it's published by Point . This is my guilty pleasure book. And no, I wasn't the one who borrowed it. My sister borrowed it back in grade school and probably forgot about it. I read it when I was fourteen and while I was reading it, I cried from laughing so hard. So yeah, enjoy siya.
• Er... nothing else. Don't remember. Haha. Maybe the Neil Gaiman books Beau just lent me. Bwa. Ha. Ha.
  

• Anything by Charles Dickens. *rolls eyes* I'm sorry, I just can't, no matter how hard I try, I always give up by the third chapter.
• Any prescribed economics text book.
• The Bible. Yeah, it's a hard read. And minsan nakakatamad talaga. Pero it gets easier and easier as I get more and more into it. Just like walking, baby steps first, running later. [I actually do like reading it, but I would LOVE to like it even more.]

• It's Not About Me by Max Lucado
• Nebula Awards Showcase 2001 edited by Silver Silverberg [got it for super cheap, super sulit ]
• Principles of Economics by Gregory Mankiw [we weren't actually required to buy it, but I bought it anyway, and it was actually fun to read - totally unexpected from an economics textbook]

• Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank [but not really, for obvious reasons - i.e. the Holocaust, anyone?]
• The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold
• Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes
  

• The Godmakers by Frank Herbert
• The Sandman: The Doll's House by Neil Gaiman [THANK YOU BEAU!]
  
• The Sandman: Season of Mists by Neil Gaiman [THANK YOU BEAU!]
• The Sandman: Fables & Reflections by Neil Gaiman [THANK YOU BEAU!]
• The Sandman: Brief Lives by Neil Gaiman [THANK YOU BEAU!]
• Harlequin Valentine by Neil Gaiman [THANK YOU BEAU!]

Dahil marami akong kailangang gawin, syempre, nagprocrastinate ako. And I successfully mutilated two of the greatest masterpieces of all time. Mabuhay. [If my face in the Mona Lisa looks demented, it's because (a) I flip-horizontalled it, and (b) it's demented anyway, nothing I can do about that.]

Shucks, walang kwenta talaga yung mga recent posts ko. I will do better soon, I swear, on Friday maybe.

Anyway, updates:

• Exams! I have one on Macbeth tomorrow *rolls eyes*, and a few next week. Strangely enough, I'm not worried. I think I'm too bangag to be worried.
• Crushes: Good news, wala na akong crush... ata. Yes, this is good news. Crushes take up too much of my thinking energy. Now I can concentrate on... better stuff.
• Friends: *sigh* I'm getting a little frustrated [that was what my last mini-post was about]... but yesterday, God reminded me that friends should love unconditionally. That means, even though your friends takes you for granted, let love rule. Aja.
• Papers? Done. ^_^
• Going to Davao for a week during the summer break. Leaving on April 4, coming back to Manila in time for the summer class registration [on the 12th]. The rest of my family's staying in Davao for a month, which kinda sucks, but I want a productive summer for once.
• High school reunion! Rachelle's coming home from England, so she's organized this little reunion. Can't hardly wait.
• Summer class: taking up PE [orienteering/camping hopefully], and maybe German or PI 100, depending on what's available.

1. A couple of people know about this already: I used to have an imaginary friend named Sandra. She was a fairy who visited me on beams of sunshine. I grew out of her when I was eleven years old I think. I don't like admitting to this because it's kind of freaky now that I look back.
   
2. I've told this to a couple of people: A long time ago, someone asked me if I was anorexic. [No, I'm so not.] No-one knows this: I ended up getting even more insecure than I already was, getting really self-conscious about my weight and the clothes I wore. The bad thing about it was I didn't have anybody to really sympathize with me because big girls were "beautiful", but we stick-thin girls were "sick, bulimic wannabe models". I've gained some weight since then, but that's probably because I don't run around as much anymore. And don't worry, my weight issue only lasted for a couple of months, and after that I got really tired of thinking about it and couldn't care less. But sometimes, I still freak out when people tell me "you're so skinny, you need to eat more". PEOPLE, I EAT. Get over my weight.
   
3. A few people know this: I actually liked the first guy who really "showed interest" in me [this was waaay waaaaaaaaaaaay back in ______]. Thank goodness I didn't encourage him, kasi ang pangit niya ngayon. Bwa ha ha ha.
4. This is going to be the first time I'm going to say this: I daydream about death and dying [ooh alliteration]. I don't know why. It doesn't freak me out or anything, but gives me a lot of ideas to ponder on. I don't think I've told this to anyone before because people would get the wrong impression about me. No, I'm not a twisted psycho waiting to be unleashed, I'm Donya Quixote and I'm fabulous [?].
   
5. [wincing] I used to think that being a "bitch" was cool. Gaaaah. Do not ask me to elaborate.
