The Help by Kathryn Stockett
Jessica Sanchez lost the title. And my rage is all over my twitter.

Thoughts at 12:51 AM
Sometimes my dreams scare me. They are often too bold and big. But I remind myself there’s no such thing as impossible. I must have faith.
One thing I learned from all this overthinking I do everyday is to let go of your past and your future.
If I spend all my time dreaming of what will become of me, I will just look far out the sky and achieve nothing that may greatly contribute to my...
I went to The Fort earlier with Pau, Ella and her yaya for some bookstore shopping. Left Ella and her yaya at Active Fun, I purchased the unlimited playtime for her so she can play to her heart’s content. Ahhh, I miss being a kid.
Paula and I went book shopping at Fully Booked (best service evurrrr!). I wish I had the money to buy the Fiction section but alas, I had only few pesos to spare...
Thoughts
I wish I had the ability to express how I truly feel. To put in words exactly what goes through my mind.
I wish somebody would invent a brain scanner so I wouldn’t need to put every thought in writing. That way when I think of something that is too beautiful for words to describe, I could just show them to the person.
Words can be messy and yet be so breathtaking at the same time.

Boracay 2012
May 5-7, 2012.
Since everybody’s busy with work, we only had a weekend to spare for our Boracay trip. We stayed at True Home Hotel Station 1, a cute beach-front boutique hotel. Their service is impeccable, I highly recommend it to all you beach lovers out there. It ‘s also steps away from the famous Jonah’s fruit shakes.
Although I hated how crowded and noisy Boracay is, I...

On Phil-China Dispute
See this article for further information.
My dearest Senators,
I know it is with good intentions that you urge the government to buy weapons in case war breaks out between China and our country. I see it is an immediate action that should be made, given that the ruling Communist Party had called for a ‘small-scale war’ to end the dispute. It is not only the lands and the citizens you...

Check out this article that my friend, Mitch, penned. It’s about sadness and depression of our teens today, the difference between the two and the common misconceptions about it.
Let me know what you think after you’ve read the article! :)

Hey hey HEYPI BIRTHDAY ELLA!
Today is Ella’s fifth birthday! Again, I don’t have pictures to share because I seriously wanna throw my camera away everytime I see it. I sure need a new one.
So I got her these Barbie DVDs she nagged me to get her and a big book of Disney Princess stories because Disney Princesses are the bomb. I had the maid cook the Filipino classic birthday feast:...
I just got back from our Boracay trip. Spent the weekend with the sun and the beach. I didn’t take lots of photos so I’ll post what I can when Kuya Deng uploads on Facebook.
Honestly, I didn’t enjoy that much. Boracay is so crowded and over developed. The reason why I love the beach is because it’s a place to relax and enjoy the beautiful scenery. Don’t get me...

A Letter To Myself
Dear me,
I know you are frustrated right now because that long-ass post at which you poured your heart and soul into was gone in a blink of an eye, thanks to Safari crashing just before you click publish. But don’t worry, remember things happen for a reason. God may not have wanted you to share those thoughts yet. So relax, and just write a letter. :)
I am so proud of you. It’s...

My Library
My Library contains the list of books I have in my bookshelf. It is a growing list of books I have and will encounter in my life. This serves as a “logbook” and is therefore used to keep track of the books I own and those I borrowed from the college library(marked ‘x’).

Anonymous asked: Hi Trish! Since you are currently interested in reading books about the Holocaust, you might want to read The Book Thief by Markus Suzak. Hope you appreciate reading it the way I did. :)
I can’t believe I’m telling you this but I’m thankful that we had Philippine History under Ma’am Anita Garcia. If not for her, I wouldn’t be able to read the books I picked for my abstract paper. Those books were ‘It Took Four Years For The Rising Sun To Set’ and ‘Living With The Enemy’, accounts from the Japanese Occupation.
I am currently...
