Today’s Friday Five

1) Have you read more books, or fewer books, this past year than usual?
This last year? Definitely fewer. And by “fewer” I meant “none.”
But, as my friend Abbie had said, if you count reading the subtitles of shows you watched,
then, Yea! I’ve read tons!

2) What book are you reading now (or what book did you read most recently)?
-The last book I was reading was Inferno by Dan Brown. I was on it when Mom was sick and I was reading that while flying back and forth from Florida to Ontario.
Circumstances concerning everything had turned to dire so I just stopped.
I have planned on re-reading Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings.” Just because I watch the movies at least twice a year. I just always put it off because let’s face it. That monstrous of a book is a hard read.
I have also thought of finally reading “Game of Thrones” just to get the horrible taste of the last three seasons out of my mouth. Yeah, you know what I’m talking about.

3) What is the best book you read in the past few years?
-I genuinely enjoyed the Vampire Chronicles by Anne Rice. Harry Potter of course. Oh and Lamb by Christopher Moore was a hoot.

4) Do you read more than one book at a time, or just one?
-Nope. I can’t. I tried. Characters were starting to crossover in my head.

5) How big is your to-be-read pile (or list)?
-I just checked my Goodreads Profile.
Ugh! 52 as of last wishlist.

More Birthday shout outs!

Happy Birthday to my li’l Brother Brian!

Maybe I shouldn’t call you “little brother” anymore,
since you are about twenty feet taller than me,
and about 200% more handsome.

Si Daddy ang hindi natin kaya sa kapogi-an.
Wala tayong laban dun.

I hope you had a great day.

Love you very much!


Also,
a great big Happy Birthday to you, Anne!

I know things are going great for you,
and I am happy that things are turning out fine.

Your kids are all so beautiful.
I wish you all the best!

New Song Added – I’m Just In Love

I’m Just In Love.
by Paul Gilbert.
Guitars and Voices by – Ty Martell

A pretty cool, catchy tune
from one of my favorite guitarists of all time.

This is a song which really lives up to its title.

A song that makes you feel, happy, crazy,
wild, silly and foolish.

Just like what you feel when you’re in love.
You do stupid things like that.

You constantly think about them,
while staring at the ceiling,
and slowly slip in to madness.

Then next thing you know,
you’re gonna start wanting to take a shower,
or brush your teeth.

Then wait in hiding in front of their house,
you enter their bedroom and you start
wearing their dresses.
And try on their shoes.

Wait.
Did I say in love?

I meant I’m a stalker.
