My Rules on Buying Books

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

This one is still on the way

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

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.

Pensées du Matin • Morning Thoughts | I Try to Blog in French #12

Bonjour! Je me suis réveillé tôt. Il est 6h du matin. Je sais que mon mari va se réveiller tard, peut-être 10h ou 11h. Aujourd’hui, nous allons aller dans un petit resto pour acheter des repas pour la semaine prochaine. Nous also need aussi de papier toilette, nous allons aller donc aussi au supermarché.

Good morning! I woke up early. It’s 6:00 AM. I know that my husband will wake up late, maybe 10 or 11 AM. Today, we will go to a small restaurant to buy meals for the next week. We also need some toilet paper so we will also go to the supermarket.

Almond is Free!

Finally nasa bahay na uli si Almond. Pag gising ko si Almond agad ang naisip ko at nag-download ako ng Messenger para i-check kung may sinend silang pics ni Almond na nasa bahay na, kaso wala huhu. Pero okay lang. At least alam kong komportable na sya at makaka-receive na sya ng madaming hugs and cuddles.

Almond’s last day sa pet “hotel”

Tamagotchi Deprived Adult

Tandang tanda ko nung elementary ako, nasa mall kami ng Mama (sa Ocean Palace Mall na wala na ngayon). Hindi ako yung tipo na nagpapabili ng mga laruan kasi alam kong di kami mayaman. Kaya gulat na gulat ako nung tinanong ako ng Mama kung ano daw gusto ko. First time ko narinig sa kanya yun tapos nasa mall kami! Di ako nagsayang ng segundo, tamagotchi agad ang sinabi ko.

Perks of Sharing Your Thangz

I am keen to sharing my French learning adventures at nakakatuwa pag may kausap ako tapos all of a sudden, gusto nila kong pagsalitain ng French! Una nagugulat ako kasi interested din sila. Or pwedeng they find my French-related posts amusing or entertaining. Either way, nakaka-flatter and I am happy to indulge 😆

Just finished I’m Glad My Mom Died by Jennette McCurdy and now I’m watching her interviews and crying. I’m glad I got to watch this video which led me to read this heartbreaking, emotional, sometimes humorous book. I do not relate to her past experiences with her mom in any way (the abuse, manipulation, the exploitation) but I could imagine how it must have been. It’s very insightful and teaches you to show more compassion. I also couldn’t stop reading because her writing is so compelling. Love this book!🤍
