christine, lala and i had an impromptu trip to cubao’s shoe expo last saturday to check out the little stores where they sell second hand items at really low prices. there were lots of books stacked in the stores and as my habit i asked the “bantay” of the store if they have any sweet dreams books. like some very few things i adored in childhood, these books i can not get over with!
i remembered in highschool how i would save just to buy these books and how we would swap books and collect them and share insights on why we think this story is better. i lost several books along the way, but i gained friends and then later on in college they just stopped publishing the series… kaya siguro i’m obsessed in buying them from second hand bookstores. most of the books now are on sale in ebay…

i have planned to purchase some of them for my personal collection. and i will continue to hunt for more
back to my kwento… i was delighted when manang told me she has several sweet dreams available pero i have to dig in, and so we did! kaya siguro ako na-allergy attack na naman. i saw 2 treasures at P10 each only! imagine that?! but that’s not the real true treasure find that afternoon… i saw this book and i was truly, truly glad i did!
remember???
while most of us girls in our highschool pack were all deep into the sweet dreams craze, you had own world and i would always think how matured and sofisticated you are. kaya siguro ako dumidikit sa yo nun, i was hoping your influence would rub on me and i will be the lady that you are starting to be when we were still young. then one day, you lent me this book – among friends and told me this has more depth. i was hesitant because i don’t think i’m prepared to venture into anything deeper than sweet dreams. but i did read it and i liked it! so thanks to you! you made me take a leap from sweet dreams with this book! and i never stopped reading more and more books.
i bought it for P10 as well! what a price to pay for something that brought back a priceless memory
… i learned of michael jackson’s death over the radio via rx931.1’s the morning rush with chico and delamar. it was a very early and i was really surprised (who isn’t?).
first chico and delamar were saying they need to confirm the news first before they make an announcement about it, then during the news at 17 — they said it. the king of pop is dead…
the news was all over — twitter, facebook, sms and yes even in out breakfast meeting at 7:30am… it was mentioned.
here’s a classic little michael for you all to remember what a sensation he was back then.
i have been in a daze lately, not knowing how to move on and wondering what kind of life i am living. i often think i am lost because i just let the tide take me to wherever… i just follow life around.
does it matter then that i wander and wonder?
pendant by jenny skipper found in this site at etsy.
i decided to work from home again today. since most of my managers are away for an off-site event, i felt i needed to be away from the office to and concentrate on the things that needs to be done at work. those things i am not able to do at the office lately due to a lot of distractions. diba nga i feel na sometimes i am more efficient if there are less meetings, less phone calls… less people to see
during break times, i would surf my favorite sites and then i happen to see the poster below… just timely now when i am in that stage in life where you have decided to be take the risk, wait and hope for the best (career-wise)…
i wish i have this in my room and in my office space...
sharing with you… this poster is for sale in ETSY.COM.
and then later on in college they just stopped publishing the series… kaya siguro i’m obsessed in buying them from second hand bookstores. most of the books now are on sale in ebay…
