In this day and age, the internet and television have become most people’s main form of entertainment and reading is becoming a thing of the past and I guess this is the reason why I don’t have a television for almost 5 years. I don’t like having a television at my room; it eats too much time instead of doing something productive. So whenever it’s my off or rest day and no errands to do I read a good book but I don’t limit myself to just a book. I also read countless magazines glossy or not and newspapers which my mom and friends hate me…my room looks like a stock room or should I say a mini library on the making.
So when Bibliarch bookstore gives me a free pass to the 33rd Manila International book fair 2012 at SMX Convention Center of SM Mall of Asia, there is no way I’d pass this change even thou work is in between.
This is a good way to promote the love of reading!
Every Child to read more, learn more, understand themselves....
Busy? Pressed? Exhaused? Live a Life well-lit.
Reading is an important skill that needs to be developed in children. It can open up new
worlds and enrich children's lives...kaya dapat ito ang inject ntin sa mga bagets now!
para ala Einstein ang brainy!
Philippines leading bookstores join the event and other publishing houses!
Then bumped into an old friend..couple:)
My love! I'm still in relationship with Haruki Murakami bought his new release 1Q84
a three volume book!
Thank you bibliarch-fullybooked for the free pass and experience! Book fairs are the best place to learn and get to know the local authors or purchase books with great discounts, family or friend bonding as well.
And if you’re an author or writer this is best time to make great contacts or networks for your future publisher:)
"reading will give you lasting pleasure"
-First Lady Laura Bush (quoted in U.S. News & World Report)
Life is good!
Oh my book heaven.... you are so blessed... how many books did you buy? are they really that cheap?
ReplyDeleteMarami ka ba nabili! Mura nga daw ang mga books nagpunta yung isang friend ko namakyaw.
ReplyDeleteI like National Book store sa Philippines. mayroon ba silang available to download directly of your kindle fire. I hate buying book, very heavy... mas maga-an siguro pag download nalang..Have a good day
ReplyDeleteI love books. Fantastic blog!
ReplyDeleteI so agree with you on reading. Nothing is better in free time than reading. And even a movie based on a book is not as good. I drooled over the book fair. So happy you were able to experience it.
ReplyDeleteAww, I missed this one! Lurve books, never gonna buy a Kindle :)
ReplyDeleteI am too is a book worm woman, but now i read most from the internet.
ReplyDeleteBut, reading too is my passion. I dont watch so much tv either although we have. Thanks for visiting:)
despite i'm quite lazy on the reading department, i would love to go to a book fair too! glad you spent a day in one!
ReplyDeletecall me old fashion but i like the feel of paper in my hand as you flip through the pages.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was in the Phils I used to go to National Bookstore to purchase books. Here, I still love to read books but I don't have much time anymore like I used to when I was single..hehehe
ReplyDeleteSayang I wasn't able to attend this one! I'll try next year
ReplyDeletelam mo sa blog ko first nakilala ang fifty shades ;-) ano nanamn book na binabasa mo now? yung interesting or intriguing ;-D

ReplyDeleteIt’s a GIRL Thing

ReplyDeleteNaku... mahilig din po ako sa mga libro! Nakaka-ingit naman. Dito kasi sa may amin, puro national book store at booksale lang ang meron eh.
ReplyDeleteI love reading, mostly pocketbooks (spy/detective stories) and tho I've downloaded/copied a lot of ebooks from friends, I still buy books from book sales. Sayang, sana na-try ko 'tong book fair.
ReplyDeletedati i love books but now blog na ahahhaha
ReplyDeleteFun event! I have always had the love for reading but I think the internet and all these gadgetry had taken it away. I must relinquish that love :)
ReplyDeletedi ako mahilig mgbasa nver pa nga ko nkatpos ng book hehehe peo parang ganda ng event n yn
ReplyDeleteRight in my neck of the woods, reading is quite a habit, especially on those long subway rides where Kindle or Ipad keeps the brain entertained.
ReplyDeleteheard this one...buti ka pa may pass, are the books cheap?
ReplyDeletesayang di rin ako nakapunta. iba pa rin talaga ang reading experience kapag totoong book ang hawak.
ReplyDeleteoh wow!! lucky you. I could never have too many books!

We had a small book fair here too this weekend :).
ReplyDeleteP.S. Enter my awesome giveaway http://drastic-plastic-fantastic-plastic.blogspot.ro/2012/09/littleblackdress-giveaway.html
I missed buying paperbacks! Right now I´d make do with borrowed books from the city library because all books here are translated in Spanish.
ReplyDeleteBook heaven! Sad I missed out on it :(
ReplyDeleteCheers,

ReplyDeleteawesome of you to support the book fair!
ReplyDeleteOh, you were there. I was there, too. Wara kit pagkita hahaha! Taray, pinalit ka gud sin 3-volume. Ako purr children's book la an gin palit haha.
ReplyDeleteTikang ak ngay-an sa ak blog ngan nakita ko an imo comment mao nga aadi ak.
small world talaga biruin mo you saw your old friends pa don, thats a bonus!
ReplyDeleteFortunately I've seldom needed any incentive to feel like reading. I've always loved it and that's why it's hard for me to see that less and less people do it nowadays, especially our youth. My sister barely picks up a book and I think this book fair would be nice for her!
ReplyDeleteLooks like this was fun! I miss book fairs - haven't been to one since I was little.

ReplyDeleteI KNEW IT! I said to myself, there's something special about her. And yes it is- YOU'RE ALSO A MURAKAMI LOVER! Not a fan but HIS LOVER!
ReplyDeletehahaha!
I love Haruki Murakami. I'm so smitten by his talent and incredible creativity. Iisipin mo talaga paano niya naisip yon!
I wish I could go there. I've been to a lot of cultural events and festivals and concerts, but never to a book festival. And to say that I'm a book lover- a nerdy book worm. Yun na lang ang kulang sa akin para talagang maging bibliophile na talaga ako.
I've got lots and lots of books in my room. So many that one time i had to throw away my clothes in my closet so I can put some of my books there. Hehehehe!
Wow! I missed this. Hay! =(
ReplyDeleteSorry for my bad english. Thank you so much for your good post. Your post helped me in my college assignment, If you can provide me more details please email me.
ReplyDeleteWelcome to my blog [url=http://www.about-dogs.zoomshare.com/]www.about-dogs.zoomshare.com[/url].
I went to this event too and managed to buy two books and one Doraemon comic. I agree with you, TV takes so much time but I love watching too so I just try to manage my time between watching and reading.
ReplyDeletegood to find a book lover and book fair goer here :). thanks for passing by my site, see yah around ;)
ReplyDeleteHi, Nice post thanks for sharing. Would you please consider adding a link to my website on your page. Please email me back.
