In dire need of a Dire Wolf
When The Game of Thrones was released last year, my officemates(who were mostly boys) raved about hunger games and my close friend Jecyl who is a very huge fan, urged me to watch it and fed me with a full copy of season one. Another friend of mine, Mike, supplied me with audio books. I tried, I really did try; but it's just so graphic, so dirty, so barbaric. I tried again because of the very good feedback from my friends but I really cant take it. My brother from 3000 zipcodes away chanced upon my copy of the series and is already well addicted to the story and is one of the millions waiting for season 3. One day I ran out of audio books. My imagination and my thirst for adventure and stories is starving, no dying, its dying in starvation! Then I remembered that I have the copy of Game of Thrones! I hesitated because of the experience with the series but out of desperation, I relented and started listening to it. Anyhow, I am already somewhere in the Kings landing, Winterfell and the high road and I am now engrossed with the Starks and the Lanisters and the Tulleys and Dani! The story is amazing! Ahhhh-maaa-zing! I am planning on buying the books and will attempt to watch the seasons again. Oh by the way, I'd want a dire wolf too or for Derp, now officially my dog, to be as discipled as the dire wolves of the Starks.

A Must Have: How to Walk in High Heels
I came across this book when I was visiting Rhea’s room last
Sinulog season. I had fun skimming through the pages of the book and committed
to getting one for myself. A lot of things happened after that and I completely
forgot about it. Then came birthday season and my good friend Argani asked me
what I want for my birthday, it took me a while to reply. I wanted shoes and
accessories but somehow deep inside I knew that I wanted something in
particular. Then after about a day I remembered that I really wanted THAT book
and its twin, A Year in High Heels. Argani tried to look for a good copy of A Year in High
Heels but unfortunately all of the copies that he found all seemed thrashed, so
How to Walk in High Heels came alone. This book is not your ordinary Instructional
manual. It doesn’t just teach you how to get things done (your nails, your
hair, your iPod Playlist etc.) it teaches you how to do it in style. It’s like
the Social Graces Class that my friend used to take only 100 times better.
Camilla Morton’s writing style is both chic and absolutely oozing with wit. I
would buy her book even if she writes about the most boring of topics just for
her wit. Well what are you waiting for??? Go get a copy NOW!
