J’ai oublié d’écrire ici en français. Bonjour! C’est mardi et il est 6h30 du matin. Je me suis levé vers 5h du matin. Je regarde par la fenêtre et la neige melting déjà. Je miss les arbres blancs. Mais ça va parce que dans quelques minutes, je vais voir le soleil se lever.

I forgot to write here in French. Good morning! It’s Tuesday and it’s 6:30 in the morning. I got up around 5AM. I’m looking at the window and the snow is already melting. I miss the white trees. But it’s okay because in a few minutes, I’m going to see the sun rise.

No Comments on Upstream by Mary Oliver | Book Review

I forgot who or what influenced me to read this book but I’m so happy, and also lucky, that I picked it up. I have no expectations. I have no prior knowledge of Mary Oliver. But when I started reading the first few pages, I was captivated. Her writing is so delicate and beautiful. There were lots of moments where I needed to pause just to savor the words. Where I find myself smiling and taking a deep sigh. This book calms me and invigorates me at the same time.

Happy Things #14

Si Lola

Dun sa binibilhan namin ng ulam, meron dung bolerang lola.

“Binagoongan po.”

(habang nilalagay sa plastic container yung ulam) “O, dinamihan ko na ito ha.”

Tapos medyo pushy sya sa mga paninda nila pero okay lang. Natutuwa lang ako sa kanya. Second time namin bumili sa kanila tapos sinabihan ako ni lola na muka daw akong artista. Kahit siguradong lahat ay sinasabihan nya non, sino ba namang hindi matutuwa haha. Makabalik nga dun bukas.

After reading a chapter, I placed Mary Oliver’s Upstream close to my chest. And this is the first time I’ve ever hugged a book.

My Rules on Buying Books

I received a $50 gift card from Amazon and I got these three books:

It was Black Friday so the hardcovers are cheaper and almost the same price as the paperback. I don’t particularly prefer hardbounds to paperbacks because I find hard copies bulky and heavy. But I was in a I-want-to-try-something-new mood that day so I went for the out of the usual choice.

Matinée de Neige + Dîner d’Anniversaire de Kenneth • Snowy Morning + Kenneth’s Birthday Dinner | I Try to Blog in French #13

Bonjour ! Il neige ce matin. Il fait froid mais j’aime regarder la neige tomber. C’est relaxant et it feels calm.

Good morning! It’s snowing this morning. It’s cold but I like watching the snow fall. It’s relaxing and it feels calm.

My Friend Mary Oliver

Iba ang tama sakin ni Mary. Nakaka-ilang pages pa lang ako sa libro nya, bumili ako agad ng physical copy. Sobrang rare ko bumili ng physical copy ng libro. Nire-reserve ko lang sya sa mga librong sobrang nagustuhan ko at plano kong ulit-ulitin. Tapos Black Friday pa nun so ang mura nung hardcover, swerte.

Still waiting for the book to arrive in the mail

French Ramblings

Ilang days na kong nag-f-French sa panaginip ko. Tuloy, ang bagal kong magsalita tapos paulit-ulit ako kasi hindi ko sure kung tama yung grammar. Hindi tuloy makausad yung nangyayari sa panaginip ko.
