Movie to Watch:: Hunger Games

A colleague of mine told me that the novel is worth reading and found out that the movie, too, is worth watching. I read Saab Magalona‘s reaction to it, and just like the others, she was disappointed for not giving judgment to the novel.
I know it had been shown weeks back, but I have never been the kind who watches a movie at the cinema on its exact play dates. (Well, there were instances I did but they were really rare ones.)
I just saw the Hunger Games official trailer and it seems interesting to me. I’m planning on reading the novels as well. But I want to finish the one I’m reading these days: A Game of Thrones, and I’m still stuck to it.
One of these weekends, I will be laying my eyes on this movie. Let’s see if I’m gonna love it or not.

Project Knowledge

I was reading Saab Magalona’s blog this morning and I saw her post about Project Knowledge. Education is one of the most essential things a person must have. But it is also one of those things that are not given to everyone. So with this project, even those who live far away will be given a chance to get better education. I just want to share this awesome project to all of you guys and maybe we can help make this project work!

Project Knowledge is a group of 10 business students from UP Diliman and for our CWTS project this sem, we decided to raise funds for our chosen beneficiary, the Knowledge Channel (creator of educational shows like Sineswkela, Mathinik, Hiraya Manawari etc.)

One of our fund-raising projects is a Facebook Like page or campaign, in which Aquabest will donate P5.00 for every like our page will be generating. So far we have already accumulated P11, 310 (as of 8:26 PM August 9) and our target number is 10,000 likes or P50,000.

The funds that we will be raising will be used by Knowledge Channel to provide free educational TV (ETV) facilities and programs to public schools, especially those in the remote areas. They are also trying to reach out as far as they can through volunteer mobile teachers and the use of E-pads and I-pads in teaching.

I Love Books!

The day before yesterday, my aunt gave us some of their old books. I was excited about it since I fancy books a lot. There were also academic books which will be helpful for my son’s learning.

I love books — the smell, the sight, the touch. I’m not a bookworm though. It’s just that I’ve always considered books as my best companions. Some of my books are old, some are pretty new. I bought the others, while the others were given.

My older son also loves books so much. And like me, he likes the smell, too!

And my other son, the younger one, got excited upon seeing the books that had been given to us. When I put down the books, he quickly came up to me and started getting them one by one!

He was reading a book as if he really could!

Here are some of the books that I’ve got on our shelf:

And these are the books that aunt gave me:

I really want to go to Bookay Ukay, which I learned from my favorite blogger Saab Magalona. It seems like it’s a haven for books. I’m sure my older son will like it there, too! Here’s a photo of her in the shop:
