My thoughts on "Looking for Alaska" by John Green.

Warning, spoilers ahead.

I finished this book last night. To be honest, I'm quite disappointed by the book's ending. I don't know why.

I didn't expected that Takumi is the last person who saw Alaska leaving the dorm.

He should told it to the General and Miles. The General and Miles should ask Takumi.

I don't know why John Green didn't revealed the scene on how Alaska died.

Bitin ako molo soup ng Reyes Barbecue.

Tatlong piraso lang yung parang pinaka siomai nila.

Hindi ako masyado na-enjoy yun.

Here are the two (2) links of Reyes Barbecue: here and here.

And So It Goes (2014 film)

I do admit that I have no plans to watch this film. It is a film that contains comedy and drama.

I don't feel the chemistry between Michael Douglas and Diane Keaton.

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars

35th Manila International Book Fair, Day 2

Last Saturday, I attended a writing workshop by Precious Pages and Lampara. This event was held during fourth (4th) day of 35th Manila International Book Fair, in SMX Convention Center in SM Mall of Asia. I didn't expected that the writing workshop, is a writing workshop for children's literature. I left the workshop unannounced during the 5 (five) minute break.

So I decided to go the book fair. As expected, there are a lot of people.

This time, I bought Looking for Alaska (from National Book Store) by John Green, and Mockingjay. The former book was by John Green, while the latter book was written by Suzanne Collins.

I bought the former book, from the booth of National Book Store, while I bought the latter book from the booth of Fully Booked.

Both books, have 20% discount.

The Maze Runner (2014 film)

I read the book because of curiosity.

I learned about the movie and the book series on this website.

The film/movie adaptation is good. I like the performance of Will Poulter. If I'm not mistaken, he uses American accent despite being a British actor. Same thing as the actress who plays Teresa.

May kulang yung aura ni Teresa actress sa movie.

I noticed that the filmmakers changed, or dropped some subplots and scenes. Aside from that, the movie/film rating is good.

Rating: 5 out of 5.

I don't remember the first time I attended Manila International Book Fair. It was the first time that I attended the book fair when it was the first time it was held in SM Mall of Asia's SMX Convention Center.

I hope I attend the events to be held on the last two (2) days of the book fair.

Aside from that, I don't know what I am going to post. And also, I've been focused on some of my apps on my iPod Touch.

Cibo, Robinsons Magnolia

My mother, my older brother, my sister-in-law, my nephew, and I ate our dinner in Cibo, in Robinsons Magnolia. Matagal ko gustong kumain sa Cibo. It is happened last Tuesday last week, July 15, 2014.

I like the service. I like the food order by my older sibling.

The food ordered by my older sibling, in my humble opinion (IMHO) is delicious. Hindi naman kamahalan sa Cibo.

I don't know on how to pronounce the name of the restaurant.

The restaurant has other branches. The restuarant has social media accounts on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Cibo has also have a website.

Robinsons Magnolia

I don't remember wherein Robinsons Magnolia is opened to the public. And it is my first time to visit the aforementioned mall last Tuesday last week, July 15, 2014.

My first (1st) is somewhat similar to Gateway Mall in Araneta Center in Cubao; and Shangri-La Plaza Mall in Ortigas Center, Mandaluyong.

Robinsons Magnolia is like Gateway Mall. Because, it is like there stores are selected. There's no Bench, KFC and McDonald's.

Robinsons Magnolia is like Shangri-La Plaza Mall. Because it is in the former mall, the expensive store are first (1st), and second (2nd) floors/levels. the not-so-expensive stores are located in the second (2nd) and third (3rd) floors/levels.

What I like about Robinsons Magnolia is that, this not a crowded Robinsons mall. Yun nag lang, sadyain any mall na ito, if you are coming in from other nearby places.

The other Robinsons mall I visited that is not crowd, is Robinsons Starmills in Pampanga.

To charge, or not to charge. That is the question.

Nakakainis at nakakabuwisit yung taong pinagsasabihan ako na, kapag pinatay/in-off ko na yung laptop na gamit ko, alisin yung dulo ng charger. Regardless kung kulay/color orange, or kulay/color green.

Kapag kulay/color green, full charge na yung laptop. Kapag kulay/color orange, hindi pa full charge young laptop.

Yung nakikita nyo sa picture na kulay/color green, full charge na yan. Siya nga umalis na lang, hindi inalis yung dulo ng charger, na malalaman mo kung kulay/color green or orange.

Iresponsable siya.

2014 Nestlé Choose Wellness Expo

Last Tuesday of last week, I registered online of the 2014 Nestlé Choose Wellness Expo website. Last Saturday morning when I arrived in SM Megamall's Bulding B, I didn't expect that there'll be a long queue for the people who registered online via aforementioned website.

Bawat brands ay may activity or activities. Tapos, any three (3) brands plus (+) one (1) wellness information (Wellness Theater or Wellness Center).

Ang sa akin, unang brand na pinuntahan ko ay sa Nestea, and then Milo, Wellness Theater at Wellness Center. Hindi ko na maalala yung pangatlong (3rd) brand na pinuntahan ko.

Yung sa Wellness Theater, may anim na programs. Yung oras na program na papuntahan ko, entitled "Boom Panes Dahil Hindi Laos Ang Mag-Exercise"

Here's the details:

Choose to be active.

Get moving! Try some fun and simple exercises that
you can do to jumpstart a more active lifestyle.

In the program, the male and female hosts featured a number of food items with their equivalent exercise. Hindi ko lang maalala yung nakuha ko.

Yung sa Wellness Center naman. Kukunin yung height, weight, name, age, at iba pang details, regarding sa health mo. Pupuntahan ka sa isang nutritionist/dietician. In my case, ibinagay ko yung isang piece of paper na may height, weight, name, age, at iba pang details. May hawak silang iPad. Tatanungi ka kung among oras ka natutulog at nagigising/gumigising sa umaga, kung umiinom ka ng gatas, etc.

Malalaman mo din kung any weight mo ay underweight, normal weight, or overweight/obese.

Tapos, wala akog freebie na payong, kasi naubos yung oras ko sa dalawang activities dahil sa haba ng pila. Yes, you read it right, and I repeat. naubos yung oras ko sa dalawang activities dahil sa haba ng pila, kaya wala akong freebie na payong.

Ang main objective ko talaga yung consultation ng nutritionist/dietician.

Papasok ba ako bukas at sa Miyerkules, or hindi. That is the question.

One of my “supervisor” sent me a message via Facebook earlier, if it is okay with me na pumasok bukas, at sa Miyerkules.

Sa totoo lang, dahil dalawang dahilan.

1) Nagdadalawang-isip ako kung papasok ako bukas, at sa Miyerkules.
2) Tinatamad na akong pumasok, sa kumpanyang pinapasukan ko.

Ito ang ilang dahilan kung bakit, tinatamad na akong pumasok sa kumpanyang pinapasukan ko.

1) Ang hirap kasi sa ibang “supervisors” ko, simpleng pagkakamali ko lang, pinapagalitan na ako.
2) Kahit pinipilit ko na hindi magkamali, nagkakamali pa din ako. Tapos, simpleng pagkakamali na nga ako, pinapagalitan na ako.
3) Tapos, abusado yung ibang “supervisors” ko, kasi nadala sila sa pag-treat ko sa kanila. Kaya ang “dahilan” ko na lang, “Next time.”
4) Sa dami ng “dahilan” ko, hindi ko na maisip yung “ibang" dahilan ko.

Hindi ko alam kung papasaok ako bukas at sa Miyerkules, or hindi.

Ginza Bairin

The first time I ate at this restaurant was last night. The restaurant is a Japanese restaurant.

The rest is okay naman. Unlimited sidings, like rice, cabbage salad, and miso soup.
