A Visit to The Midnight Library I just finished reading "The Midnight Library" by Matt Haig. This was forever in my want-to-read list but I haven't found an inexpensive copy of it. Until I saw one on Shopee. :-) I guess being 40 meant being extra thrifty (most likely the book will just be read once or twice); and also splurging where necessary (health, wellness & education). Honestly, I could somehow relate to the main character, Nora Seed. She thinks her life is mediocre, and it's set … [Read more...]
Not Invisible: A Memoir by Frances Amper Sales, Cymplified!
It felt like it's been so long since I did a book review. Now that the BookLook Bloggers review program was canceled, my book reviews were not that consistent.

Her stories about her mama and her family are my favorites.I have … [Read more...]
Miss Ceemee and Shopback, Cymplified!

A night in the life of The sun dips on the … [Read more...]

Special Day in Quarantine, Cymplified!
A Special Day in Quarantine Last month, April was my birth month. Many times in the past, it had fallen on a day during the Holy Week in the Philippines. Many times there were many establishments closed on my birthday (they open when it's Easter, though). This year it fell on an Easter Sunday, yet many establishments were not open because of the Enhanced Community Quarantine. Sadly, I cannot get together with my parents and siblings. It's our family tradition to have a cake on someone's … [Read more...]
