Forever...

blessed, not Forever 21! :) That is how I truly feel right now and I am really quite very happy! I was never really an avid reader when I was young but when I reached high school. I was always amazed with how people continually read their own books and just have their own world (meant in a nice way) and just stay like that for a very long time.

That image of a person reading a certain book inspired me to do the same and I eventually fell in love with reading. Though I am picky with the books I read, I still love doing it! ^.^

From Top to Bottom: Quotes in Quiz 1-4, Tuesdays with Morrie, The World's Longest Sudoku Puzzle,
The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens, The Smart Guide to the Bible Series, Life Picture Puzzle,
and The Christmas Carol :)

All those for only Php 1030!!! From Booksale! <3 p="p">Have a great week ahead guys!! another Monday to Friday this month of October!! ^.^

With Enough Patience....

.... comes great things! :) I finally got my permit stating that I am fit or healthy enough to accept my job! ^.^ I am quite happy for this because I have been going back to that laboratory for 3 times and it isn't that much of an ease for my part but with God's grace and support, I finally have it! Now, I am done with all my requirements and will just wait for any updates from my employer! ^.^ It really is true that I am thankful for it is Friday already and I am done with all of the things I need to do and have! 

Fit and Healthy!! (High Five!)

Have an awesome weekend everyone!! Be ever strong and keep the faith!

First and foremost, I must say that this recipe is a keeper.

The taste of this dish is way way better than my picture! I promise! Try it! ^.^ Its a mix of spicy, savory, sweet over steaming hot bowl of rice.

Few more days before weekend!

11 of 12

Whenever there is a goal set forth to us, we always want to do our best and give our all just to make it happen. Though my first statement may be a bit too deep, I made have set a goal for myself to finish 12 books this year and so far I have finished reading 11. I have 1 more to go and I am a bit excited. Maybe. Just maybe, I can make it 13 or 14 books for this year! ^.^

Wish me luck guys!! And have you watched The Newsroom from HBO? You should. It's quite nice. Great actually. ^.^

mooncake

Sorry for one word titles and wordless posts.. Life is still good to me and I just can't find anything very much inspiring to post about so far but worry not because I will do my best to write more this month. In short, I will do my best to make my life more fruitful compared to the past 4 months! ^.^

For a quick update, I finally got my driver's license and am really happy about that! I am also considering to accept a job which will around Makati. I am still thinking about it but more or less, I will be accepting it and will be starting by next month (more vacation or resting period for me, not that I really want or need it).

Going back to the title... The Chinese and Korean (I think) people around the world just celebrated the Lunar Festival yesterday and my favorite thing about this celebration is the mooncake I can eat. I just love mooncake so much even though I can be quite picky on which ones I really want to have. On top of that list is Hong Kong's mooncakes. Especially Maxims! And so here is a picture of the mooncake I really love :)

Let us all beat monday blues and look forward to a great week ahead!
