Never mind the title. Haha.
I pretty much had a normal day out with the family today. Who knows how long it has been since we escaped the cool breeze and green tops of Los Banos and exchanged it for a bit of smog and migraine-causing traffic of the Metro. We went to Duty Free Fiesta Mall (NAIA) because my mum wanted to make an early Christmas shopping of papaskos for the kids in the neigborhood (this year we'll be giving out chocolates, lucky kids, I know). My self control was tested yet again, but I managed to walk out of Duty Free without scathing my wallet and credit card. Whew. We went to Alabang Town Center, then to Festival Supermall. Then the inevitable happened.
Here's the part where I rushed into Powerbooks to see if they have Haruki Murakami's Kafka on the Shore but to no avail. I've read it (thrice) thanks to Tisa, but I still want to have my own copy for my future antique book collection in my future antique library. I then went and ask a clerk if they have Good Omens by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett, which Pen excitedly recommended to me while we were wasting time sitting in the Humanities steps a couple of weeks ago. Luckily, they have it. And I was lucky enough because it's the only copy left. So I left Powerbooks with a large brown paper bag (with a large hard bound book) and 700 pesos poorer. It's all good though. It's called investment.
Now how can I invest in you and me?
Ano daw????
Haha!
