So Much, So Little

Yesterday, I went to Nat’l Bookstore intending to buy envelopes for my nephew’s baptism invitations. It was almost 7 in the evening and I told(and almost promised) myself to hurry cause I still had a lotta stuff to do.

But..as I entered the bookstore, I was alluringly greeted by books which apparently caused me to break my self vow of not delving into items in the store(just as I usually do) so I wont be delayed. I’m very fond of skimming through stuff at Nat’l Bookstore(wanna have a mini lib someday..not that I’m a bookworm, though. I mean I only read when I feel like doin so. But I do like having a lotta books around. I own a few which I haven’t read yet. Di pa nko feel basahun.LoL!). Anyway..where were we..ahh…stuff at NBS..yeah I could spend almost an hour just going through them..and at most times, I don’t really buy them. (Mahal mn gud..pero lami jud kau paliton!).And so there I was…captivated with what greeted me..and I gave in to the temptation of having a look at them.

The books I found were Paolo Coelho’s The Alchemist(I really wanna read this), Eleven Minutes,  and the one I’m most intrigued of…Veronika Decides to Die. Other stuff that caught my eye were two of the many retaliations to Dan Brown’s bestseller the Da Vinci Code. These were namely Cracking the Da Vinci Code and Beyond the Da Vinci Code.

On top of that, I also saw this interesting book entitled The Heart of the Chronicles of Narnia. It’s mainly about the deeper meaning of The Chronicles of Narnia books. The subtitle says Knowing God Here by Finding Him There, which I think is really worthy of note. I mean, after all, there’s something much more profound in what I have thought to be just a fantasy movie. Well, not just any fantasy movie, though…for it touched me intensely. 

Hmm…what now…you think my skimming-through-the-synopses stops there? Nah-uh…no it doesn’t. I also went through some of Phillip Yancey’s stuff. Sir Denz told me enthralling stuff about some of his works so I thought of checking them out as well. I saw What’s So Amazing About Grace and In His Image(which was said to be a sequel of Fearfully and Wonderfully Made). These books were unexpectedly the least pricey of all that I’ve flicked through.

There’s quite a lot of ‘em, huh? And they all noteworthily deserve to be read, as well. Big problem is, wala sa budget(da one and only problem, actually)..LoL!

So now, you know why it’s so much, so little… coz there’s so much to spend for, yet so little to spend from. Well, what else have I gotta do but save, save and save. Summer na baya, wala nay allowance..toinx! Hihihi! Gotta find another way. Bye for now.

p.s.
yawyaw…
I’ve been in the dont-touch-me mode since the moment I sat on this comp chair. “Stoooooooop bugginggg meeeeee!”..I’ve been meaning to say to some people. But then patience, my love is a virtue..and one that I intend to keep…so sri nlng ko magyawyaw…kay samooooooooooooooook naaaaaa!
*sayin it out loud* “Arrrrrgh!” *SIOL* Whew..tingla si Mama, MAMA:Naunsa ka?…ME:Peace, Ma…I’m cool!…LoL!

Ay, daaah…hala cge nauy, sound trip sa ko pra marelax. Vuhvye!                             (now you see why I call this blog a “rant pit”!Haha!)
