Fact #21: I love books!

My dream house has a library whose walls are lined from top to bottom wall to wall with books --- all kinds of books.

Came back from the last stop of shopping. I found Half-Price Books. The books are really half the price or less! So Venu and found the store at Preston Rd 20 minutes before closing time. I bought 2 bags full of maybe 20 something books. What a joy:) And this from the store that's not even the biggest and nicest one. Now I hope my baggage home doesn't go overweight.

Saw half-price books before when I came to Texas last Jan and May. Just never found the chance to go to one. It's a bit out of the way and I never did get to drive till now. Besides, it has now been endorsed by another book lover, Erin. I will always make my way to half-price books whenever I find one.

If I ever have to have a business - books will be it for me. Now let me find the time to read...

It's 4am!

Woke up to use the internet at 4am. That's 5pm Manila time for you. I've been driving in Dallas. Naligaw na sa exits but things are really easy to figure out here. Muntik na atakihin sa puso si Venu, my Indian teammate who carpools with me to the hotel because of my driving. Our hotel is about 20 minutes away from the office.

Managed to buy 2 pairs of flats (payless shoe source kaya buy one get half off the 2nd pair) kasi forgot to pack my slipper - ah bliss, heels were killing me. Busy at work and in eating. Should be able to upload some more pics I don't know when. Back to snoozing. have 2 be up again in 2 hours.

A posh of elegance

The parasailing bora pic made it after I blogged another entry.

Went to Ayala Museum on my second wind and felt so refreshed with the serenity and elegance.

Elitista

I finally made it to the Northwest lounge. After 3 US trips(2 business 1 personal --longlong ago), I am nowconsidered a gold elite skyteam member and therefore have access to the ever wonderful world of airport waiting called.... "the lounge". Free breakfast (but my Pa and I stopped at Jollibee for breakfast - wasn't too sure I'd be allowed entry again---this trusting girl has difficulty believing without seeing yet), internet use, sofas, tv, newspaper, clean bathrooms - the works. Simple things make me happy.

We're flying!

Girls Just Wanna Have Fun

You know how some things just make you smile? Songs, thoughts...I'm watching an old 80's movie. I remember liking it before. Just forgot that it starred Sarah Jessica Parker. Girls (really) just wanna have fun! It ranks up there along with "Some Kind of Wonderful". Both have great soundtracks too. Thanks HBO-India:)
