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. Even though I read books, I only ever write about the ones that I can relate to or that left a deep impression on my soul. Be they five stars or not. I wanted to do a review of Not Invisible: A Memoir by Frances Amper Sales, because I like the way she writes in her blog. Her stories about her mama and her family are my favorites.I have … [Read more...]
Miss Ceemee and Shopback, Cymplified!
I believe that there is an Alternate Reality (or many) and that somewhere in that/those parallel universe/s is another version of me. Decisions that differ from my original choices birthed the multiverses, I like to think. For example, there is a version of an unmarried me, had I not known my now-hubby. She is, needless to say, still a Miss Ceemee... And Shopback is one of her friends. I imagine she's living by herself at the age of almost 40. A night in the life of The sun dips on the … [Read more...]

Special Day in Quarantine, Cymplified!

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.

Relating to Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki, Cymplified!
I first encountered the name Haruki Murakami in a university prereq course. When the classes were held very early in the mornings. I forgot which course but the professor gave us a photocopy of Murakami's short story: On Seeing the 100% Perfect Girl One Beautiful April Morning. It is with this vague familiarity that I picked up the book Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrimage from a shelf in Biblio, a store selling second hand books. As I mentioned in my blog post about books I read … [Read more...]
