Michael's Father

This week I was blessed with lavishing time. I was able to go to the mall to buy some books to catch up with my readings. I was so lucky to get the book "Michael's Father" at a very affordable price which kept me entertained for a while. I got my money's worth because it has a great story that deals with family and relationships. I was so hooked and  finished it within 24 hours.  I can't imagine how strong is the lead character that she was able to stay away from her wealthy family - young, pregnant and alone just to protect the father of her child. After 4 long years, she came back through the request of her dying mother with her son. And there the story goes............!

So the next problem I had is what will be the next book to read. Next time, I will go back to the bookstore and will get "Temporary Nanny".  The price is affordable too and I think I will enjoy this book. I got a sneak peek with the summary at the back and already planned that I will get this one in the weekend.  I am wishing to build my own library someday and put all the books I have there. Old books should be treasured because time will come, copies will be out of the market and be glad you have one. 

Next time, I will share another hobby with you that I long forgotten. I used to do it when I was in high school and continued a little while back in college but forgot about it when I have my job. But for now, I have to look for some proofs and I wished I haven't lost those collection when I moved to the new place. I am crossing my fingers, because if that would be the case, then I'll cry a river.

To do list: when you have nothing to do

"Time is Gold"! If time is real gold then I am rich. Let me share with you the things I am doing when I have spare time. During weekends and holiday when I'm not sleeping, 
it's so nice to sleep when you're working on graveyard shift
I am playing using paint. I am not good at arts and crafts so I should focus on this one and the product, ta-da-da-dan,
What? building on the countryside?
When I was young my teacher would let us draw some pictures on bond papers and color them with crayons and water colors. I usually draw a field with skeletal birds, a sun and a mountain. At least there's a little improvement adding the buildings above. Where is paint, photoshop and illustrator back then? 
good way to let the time pass
If paint is not enough to keep you entertained, you can try playing Nancy Drew's detective games. I'm done with four and I hope I could acquire Nancy's skills. 
And last, add one book to your list. I got this one last Saturday and the good news is, I'm done with it too. It's a story about a music journalist named Dave who became an agony uncle for a teen mag when the music mag folded. He was married to an editor of a woman magazine named Izzy. One book will keep you entertained for the weekend. I bought this one for 20 pesos only at book sale.
