Filipino Reader Conference: ReaderCon Filipino Friday: Week 3

I love that the school that I graduated from (DLSU) and the school where I’m working now (DLS-CSB) has an amazing library. Bookstores here also have good collections. Of course when you need a specific book, it would probably take you 6-8 week before you get it. I haven’t tried ordering books that way though, although I’ve tried CDs.

Filipino Reader Conference: ReaderCon Filipino Friday: Week 2

I started reading because I wanted to read Funny Comics before (the one with SuperKat) and I couldn’t understand the comic. My Mom taught me to read and my Dad bought a lot of newspapers because he was into PR. They later bought 3 sets of encyclopedias and I started reading those from cover to cover. I started collecting Marvel and DC Comics also so that meant more reading. It was so crazy when I was grade school that I would read the textbooks in advance even before I went to school! Thanks Daddy and Mommy for the gift of reading! :)

Filipino Reader Conference: ReaderCon Filipino Friday: Week 1

I read almost everything but when I stayed in Burma, I got introduced to British authors like V.S. Naipul, Graham Swift and Margaret Wood. I liked reading Benedict Anderson’s Three Flags and I use Malcolm Gladwell’s books as a reference. I usually read online at gnxp.com, kottke.org and I’m liking longform.org right now especially as I’ve discovered Angela Lee Duckworth’s work on grit because of it.
