Hello, everyone. I am back.

Please forgive me. Ako ang inyong patawarin.

Book trailers: "Project Hail Mary" and "Fairy Tale".

I couldn't find the book trailers of "Psyche and Eros" by Luna McNamara, and "Hidden Pictures" by Jason Rekulak. But here are the book trailers for "Projecy Hail Mary" by Andy Weir, and "Fairy Tale" by Stephen King.

Here are some articles on this year's 2024 Manila International BOok Fair

2024 Manila International Book Fair

Hindi ako pumunta ng MIBF last year, dahil wala akong pera.

Ngayong taon, nakabili/bumili ako ng tatlong nobela, dahil may pera ako.

Yung tatlong nobela na nabili ko ay sumusunod:

"Psyche and Eros" ni Luna McNamara

"Project Hail Mary" ni Andy Weir

"Hidden Pictures" ni Jason Rekulak

Nabili ko sila sa booth ng Fully Booked.

Plan kong bumili ng nobela sa booth ng National Book Store, kaya lang maliit lang yung puwesto ng Fiction.

This year, I bought/bought three novels, because I had money.

The three novels I bought are as follows:

"Psyche and Eros" by Luna McNamara

"Project Hail Mary" by Andy Weir

"Hidden Pictures" by Jason Rekulak

I bought them at the Fully Booked booth.

I plan to buy a novel at the National Book Store booth, but the Fiction booth is small.

Salem's Lot on HBO Max.

I have read the novel "Salem's Lot" by Stephen King, but I did not finish reading it.

The trailer was released six (6) days ago, September 13, Friday. The movie will be available on the date specified in the video.

It will be available on HBO Max. And yes, you read it right. I still call the platform HBO Max.

Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) Terminal 2

Today, January 13, 2024, is my flight going to Tacloban in Leyte.

This flight will be my second flight in NAIA Terminal 2 with Philippine Airlines, since my mother, and older siblings, and I went to Hong Kong for a vacation in 2000.

This flight will be also my second flight with Philippine Airlines.

This flight will be my first flight since my mother & I went to Tacloban last Februart 2013 before Typhoon Haiyan/Yolanda, and last 2014 months after the aforemention typhoon.

This flight will be also my flight since my family (parents, older brother, sister-in-law, and two/2 nephews) since our one/1 week vacation in Cebu last June 2019.

On hotels in Tacloban, Leyte.

Uuwi kami ng nanay ko sa Tacloban, Leyte, sa darating na January 2024. May ticket na kami.

Nung nakahanap ako ng hotel, ang sabi sa akin ng nanay ko, ay maghanap ako ng hotel na malapit sa V&G Subdivision. Nakahanap naman ako.

Ang kaso dito ay, namamahalan ang nanay ko. Nagsabi sa akin na maghanap ako ng mas mura.

Naghanap naman ako. May kalayuan sa nabanggit/nasabing subdivision. Yung dalawang nahapan ko, ay may kamahalan. Yung pangatlo, naman ay mura. Pero ang tatlong ito ay, may kalayuan sa V&G Subdivision.

Iba iba ang presyo sa websites ng Booking, Agoda at, Trip Advisor. Kaya ako, nahihirapan ako maghanap ng hotel.

English translation:

My mother and I will go home to Tacloban, Leyte, this coming January 2024. We already have tickets.

When I was looking for a hotel, my mother told me to look for a hotel in V&G Subdivision. I found it.

The case here is, my mother find them quite expensive. Told me to find something cheaper.

I searched. There is a distance from the aforementioned/said subdivision. The two I found, quite expensive. The third one is cheap. But these three are far from the V&G Subdivision.

Prices vary from Booking, Agoda and Trip Advisor websites. So me, I'm having a hard time looking for a hotel.

It's just a glimpse look.

WAG NA WAG akong tititigan na tuald ng ginagawa mo. 

WALA KA KARAPTAN. SUBUKUAN MO LANG ULITIN.

Message niya (Older Sibling #1) sa akin kagabi.

Napatingin lang ako kung sino yung dadaan. Yung pagtingin ko, eh saglit lang.

As in it's just a glimpse look. As in sulyap tingin lang. Tapost, magmemessage sa akin ng ganyan.

Eh samantalang ilang beses siyang tumitingin ng masama sa akin. Kahit na wala akong ginagawang mali o masama.

Regarding the Christmas party this year for the Persons with Disability (PWDs).

Nagdadalawang isip ako kung aattend ako o hindi, ng Christmas party for PWDs dito sa baranggay namin. /// Nag-da-dalawang isip ako kung a-attend ako o hindi, ng Christmas party for PWDs dito sa baranggay namin.

In-announe earlier this week yung Christmas party sa group chat sa Facebook Messenger. Naka-post din yung announcement sa group page sa Facebook.

Alas-siyete ng umaga yung start ng party. Kung aattend man ako, hindi ako ganun ka-aga pupunta.

Last year kasi, hindi ako um-attend. Hindi ko alam kung bakit. Sa mga hindi nakapunta ng Christmas party, may package na food at bigas. Hindi ko na maalala, kasi last year pa yun.

-------

I am in two minds whether or not I will attend the Christmas party for PWDs here in our barangay. /// I was thinking twice whether to attend or not, the Christmas party for PWDs here in our barangay.

The Christmas party was announced earlier this week in a group chat on Facebook Messenger. The announcement was also posted on the Facebook group page.

The party starts at seven in the morning. If I do attend, I won't go that early.

Because last year, I didn't attend. I do not know why. For those who did not go to the Christmas party, there is a food and rice package. I can't remember, because it was last year.

On other platforms: Buy Me a Coffee and Ko-fi, and some miscellaenous posts.

I am sorry, that there are no updates since the last post on this blog. Because I made posts on the platforms, Buy Me a Coffee, and Ko-fi.

My day today, Sunday, November 12, 2023.

Yung tipong ngayong araw na ito, ulit ako nakauwi ng gabi, simula noong nag-start/nagstart ang COVID-19 pandemic.

Bago magpandemic, nakakauwi ako ng gabi, kasi may pasok ako sa Ortigas. Trabaho kasi.

Nagayong araw na ito, ay nag-ikot-ikot ako, pagktapos ko manood ng sine sa Trinoma, sa Trinoma. At nagpictre taking ako ng Christmas display ng SM The Block at Trinoma, at nag-ikot-ikot akos sa SM North North Edsa.

Hinanap ko yung branch ng Anytime Fitness sa SM North Towers. Wala sa SM North Towers yung branch ng Anytime Fitness SM North Edsa. Ang nakita ko lang ay branch sa SM North Towers, ay ang gym ng Slimmers World.

After gawin ko ang mga iyan sa Trinoma at sa Sm North Edsa, ay dumiretso ako sa SM Bus Way para umuwi na. May pila sa sakayan ng bus papunta ng Valenzuela Gateway Complex. With this, hindi ko sasabihin kung taga-Valenzuela ako o hindi. Hugis letter U yung pila.

Pumunta ako sa teminal ng bus sa tapat ng main building ng SM North Edsa, ng around 6 PM. Nakasakay alo ng bus ng 6:39 PM.Nakabayad ako ng 6:51PM.

Hindi ko maalala kung anong oras ako dumating sa 7-11 para bumili ng (mineral water/buried water).

Hindi ko maaalala kung oras ako dumating ng bahay.
