february 26, 2014 - march 9, 2014

(yup. i lost  my glasses. i know, i'm stupid.) 

spoiled rotten :-)

i haven't gotten over the gift yet :) 

you see not only is it because of someone's generosity, but the effort. and i'm not talking about the effort of "securing" the gift with scotch tape.

it would've been easy to just give the device to me. but no, my friend r isn't like that. 

the e-reader comes with 90 pre-loaded e-books. 

all from her own digital collection and some she downloaded for me. 

that's what makes it all the more special. the effort and time put into the gift. 

thank you r. remember, you can "ignore" me on my next name day too. :)  :)  :)

spoiled

i am a spoiled brat. i'm spoiled by family and friends. spoiled and surprised. wonderfully surprised.

i love to read. i'm not a voracious reader by common standards, but i do love to read. i no longer have hundreds of books (thanks to habagat 2012) and i've really stopped buying books but i still love to read. 

fast forward to this weekend when i met up with one of my closest friends, r. we didn't meet before or right after my birthday. before saturday, she made sure we'd meet - texting and confirming every now and then.

we had our first coffee of the day, then after apologizing for the 'silence' on my name day, she hands me a gift bag. 

my first thought, "it's a bit heavy"

second thought, "you practically sealed it with a roll of tape"

third thought while taking off the tape "there's a box"

after opening half of the bag "oh ..."

after opening it all the way and putting my hand in the bag "OH MY GOD!"

i've finished "percy jackson the lightning thief" and started neil gaiman's "ocean at the end of the lane."

thank you r. thank you ❤

alam na ... 😊
