Book love day on Fully Book Bloggers Event

Today I went to the Fully Booked Bloggers Event.  One of those events that I seriously had the most fun (well, there was that food tour which was also just as good)

Was on the table with these poeple:

with Ria, Marco, and Jonel.  Not included were Carl, Ada, and anoher girl whose name I forgot.  opps!

cos some biatch was bitchy. lulz

Basically we got a field trip around the store in High Street, sat through a film showing about Fully Booked (who knew they have a film showing place right?).

this is the inside of my dream house: a floor to ceiling shelves filled with books

kiddie books with tour guide! (just like your everyday field trips)

Two words I can't forget from the short film: oral pleasures.  That was how they described the listening stations, and yeah, I have a durty mind. pbfft!

Food was from Hizon's.  Loved it!  Especially the desserts, except for the mangoes with cream, most tasted like fake mangoes (a.k.a. mango-flavored gulaman. then again, most likely they are gulaman.).

some of the foodies

my fave!

Best part of the night was the free book give-aways!  We got two books free (I got an extra one c/o Marco. Thank you!)  Ria, Jonel, and Az won in the trivia contest (lucky lucky!), so they got one extra free book and a cute USB.

here's my book loot!

Then there was this Bloggers Book Club.  I wasn't paying much attention to what the speaker was saying, but it went something like you write a review of a book, if they like your review, they'll post it on their site for a week, then you get an FB php 1,000 GC.  This I think they'll start on January.  There's also a Twilight trivia raffle contest.  You check their site for the trivia question, more stuff you answer, more entries for raffle for you.  If you win, you get a Twilight movie guide.  Uh-huh.  Yeah, I'd love to own that (sarcasm right here.  sorry still can't stand it.).

four new books to go through (Survivor I bought from the Palma kiosk)

*was going to take more pictures, unfortunately, battery was empty na. sad really.

**will post links to other pics when people start uploading 'em.

So I’m leaving pretty soon, and company says I need to learn how to drive.  Obviously, I’d need a car to drive as well.  Now, while I absolutely adore those 2-door car things, the most practical car I think I should get is an SUV.  No, not because it’s so when I hit something (like maybe another car, but most likely some post at the side of the round), it would be less likely for me to get smashed.  Nope, nothing like that, although that in itself is good enough reason for me.  It’s really because SUVs are better with all types of road in different types of weather.  And having to go through all 4 season, I think I should really start learning how to handle those big things.

Looking through list of cheap SUVS (meaning $15k or less), the nicest thing I saw was the 2008 Scion xD.  This suvs site was helpful enough to include a review of the car.  So apparently, pretty car I like has its downside (duh!): sluggish and with questionable safety features.  I don’t really get what sluggish in that sense means though.  Now if it’s going to be buy anything you want I’d be getting a BMW X5-series.  They are gorgeous!

I am such a sell out.  Yeah, paid.

 

This would be today's blog entry had I not received the good news this afternoon

Because I had a really sucky, pointless day, I share my (mis)fortune to everyone out there reading my blog.  I give you 12 movie spoilers to ruin your day (night, week, whatever)

And no, I am not talking about movies like Snape killed Dumbledore, or that Jacob is really destined for Bella's daughter Renesmee, or even that Darth Vader is Luke's father.  Nope, not those.  Guess which movies these are from:

(you've been warned)

cigarette-girl.com, I ownz it

I know this is stupid and irrational and really what do I need it for, but I bought cigarette-girl.com.  Yep, I now have it for 2 years.  Why did I do it?  No idea really.  So maybe when I, uh, move, I still keep the name, ionno.  Of course right now it directs to here.  So, honestly, I have no idea what I did that for except that tabulas suddenly offered own domain thingy, and I thought it maybe seems fun to do, and I have this paypal money in the innernet from the paid reviews thingies so might as well use abstract money for abstract net thing too. Whew!  That was long sentence. 

So there.

If someone has a bright idea what I should do with this, share.

 

Stalk-able?

That is where I'm going to be this friday.

It's a Fully Booked Bloggers Event in Bonifacio High Street on November 28.  They're giving away free books for the first 100 bloggers who reserved a slot here.

I've always loved books, and this is definitely one of those events that I can't miss.

See yah!

I know alot of people are into the Starbuck's planner thing (me included), but I do hope they also fill up their CBTL cards.  It's just so nice of them to offer to help out.  Fill up the card with 12 stickers, and then choose which non-government and charity organizations to support.  Read full story here.
