With the advent of internet, there are so many resources in the internet including the books. So when you want to read books, which one will you prefer, buying in bookstores or downloading from internet?

elsewhere I will always prefer reading books that I am able to presently grasp. To feel them with my palms adds to the experience. It's different when I read something from the computer-- somehow, the sacredness of the page gets lost. A history is reduced. However, I...

elsewhere It did and it does! I feel giddy all over whenever I see the profiles of people I once knew, especially my former flames, crushes, and friends. It's all very nostalgic-- I always remind myself that those are the people around whom my world once revolved....

elsewhere I have just graduated last March and now I'm interested in this, but I don't know how to start as of yet. This stems from my notion that the Stock Exchange is rather complex, what with all the numbers and jargon I'm not familiar with. It's a bit scary, but I...

Hey readers! After you've just finished a book, what do you do? Do you write a review? Do you recommend it to your friends or try to find people to discuss the book with you? Or does it all depend on the book? After I've finished...

elsewhere I close my eyes and take the boundless of the book all in. How. I rant about it. I write about it-- lost sheets of paper, pad paper, crumpled paper, even tissue paper; whatever is handy. I bug my sleeping friends to tell them how sublime the book was, with...

elsewhere It hasnt't exactly happened that way, but once I jumped out of a moving jeepney because of a robbery. I'm quite impulsive like that, so apart from being scared of the robbers, I also fear what I will do in such instances. What angers and distresses me is...

elsewhere At the top of my head: I definitely treasure the books I loved as a kid, especially the the collections of fairy tales, with the non-disneylike illustrations. Also, the Childcraft collection. I owe a big chunk of my solid early knowledge to it....

elsewhere Ah, I'm afraid to say this but if I were in your position, I would tell him and help make him realize that this is something he has to do alone. And I'm saying this given that I'm his friend. I don't want him passing obligations/decisions he has to face onto...

elsewhere That's okay. Our first experience of death is always the death of others, regardless if we witnessed it personally or not. The effects and the realization of one's mortality will always be in both.

elsewhere What I don't like about him is that, during essential instances, I need to ask/tell him what to do. Perhaps the problem's also with me-- I expect certain gestures to be automatic when one loves a person. But really, it hurts me when I don't feel the other's...
