I sought a muse but the words just wouldn't come

Okay, so, for real I hit another bit of a reading slump. The plan was to read AT LEAST 10 books a month and, guess what, it's already the 24th of February and I'm just on my 7th novel. I am CRAMMING like CRAZY! ANDDDDDD it doesn't help that the last book I read (I finished it yesterday) fucking SUCKS!!!!

I'm just going to copy and paste my Goodreads review because I can't torture myself by thinking about that novel again:

I got to say this, though. GEORGE SAUNDERS YOU ARE A LIAR!!!!!!! That novel fucking sucks! But, okay, fine, it's no Mexican Gothic (that novel is the bane of my fucking existence) and TBF the prose was okay. I guess I wasn't a fan of her stream of consciousness. I found the protagonist bland and, idk, unlikable. Which, when I think about it, may be kind of the point? Because she's so ordinary, you know?

Which brings me to my next book!!! Currently, I'm reading Vigil by George Saunders and so far so good! The premise piqued my interest so I'm kind of looking forward how this goes!

Anyway, just a random update haha

Knock, knock, knock, you'll come tumblin' down, karma's got a kiss for you

Okay, so I need to get a Certificate of Good Standing from PMA but I need 2 more stuff (like attend something etc etc) to get it huhuhuhuhu

ANYWAY, there would be no new Jujutsu Kaisen episode this week and I. AM. DYING!!!!!!! I need my JJK fix!!!!!!!!! So, I started rewatching old episodes from seasons 1-2. Last night, I rewatched Jujutsu Kaisen: 0 for the nth time. Honestly, idk, i lost count and I have NO REGRETS. I love it so much!!!!!!

My OG babies HUHUHUHU I love them so much!!!!!!!!! Also, this is my favorite arc!

Hail, hail to thee haha 💙 for courage 💛 for love (That is St. Theresa of Avila, right??)

Necklace from my dad!! It's his Valentines gift for me this yearrrr

Finally on my 5th book this month! I'm reading The Second Chance Convenience Store by Kim Ho-yeon!

Random photography haha

Anyway, it's Ash Wednesday! So, I decided I wouldn't use the Switch and SteamDeck for 40 days. That would be my sacrifice. Plus, the no eating of meat every Fridays.

Talk is cheap but lies are even cheaper

Photo dump incomiiiiing! Photos from February 4 to February 11! Actually, idk why I was so lazy to update the past few weeks but a lot (-ish????) has happened! But, mostly I'm trying to keep up with my 10 books a month pact (but so far I'm just 4 novels in this month. I AM CRAMMING! I'm way behind!) So books and.. OKAY JUJUTSU KAISEN. THE 3RD SZN IS BOMB!!!!! BOMB!!!!!!!!!! Idk why there are people who hated the cinematography etc etc etc - it's freaking cinema!!!!!!! Idk maybe because i'm anime only? 

Anyway, here goes my duuuuuuump (i think the photos uploaded starting from Feb. 12, then Feb. 11, then Feb. 4. Whatever i'm lazy to re-arrange it):

Pre-Valentines date with Mommy at Makati Shang

I had to ask for a to-go bag for this because I was only able to eat the fries haha

THIS IS SO SMALL!!!!! Our copy was the huge big graphic novel one. But then, idk if this is a novel or a graphic novel. I wasn't able to see the inside. ANYWAYYYYYYY, I was able to read the V for Vendetta and Watchmen graphic novels back in high school. V for Vendetta was the shit.

I wanted to buy this for Jodie and I but it's 700+ and this broke bitch ain't got the chaching for that HAHAHAHHAHAA i would rather buy a JJK plushie

Omg i forgot the resto! Was it Ling Nam??? Basta the chinese resto in Cash! I always get the congee and hakaw!!!

My 3rd book for the month. Bitch, I am in a reading slump. I'm just reading my 5th novel for this month huhuhuhuhuhuhuhu

Anyway, that's all. To sum it up: I'm in a reading slump. I'm also in a kdrama and cdrama slump!!!!!!!!! (I was able to finish and love Shine on Me and Our Generation because hello my babies but now I'm back to the slump. ALTHOUGH I did start The Best Thing featuring Zhang Linghe but I have a lot of activities!! BECAUSE I ALSO GOT HOOKED ON THE TINY BOOKSHOP and I've been holding Yo's steamdeck as hostage HAHAHAHAHHA it's so much fun! Just my kind of game! I get to expand my titles and THERE ARE A LOT OF BOOKS I ALREADY READ THERE! And I get to recommend the books to the people in the game!) and JUJUTSU KAISEN ROCKS!!!!!!

Okay, so let me show some stuff from The Tiny Bookshop! I took some photos of the books I haven't read yet. In a way, I GOT RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THEM AS WELL! 

THEY KNOW JUJUTSU KAISEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well, they also have Detective Conan and Attack on Titan! They're actually updated with their selection

So, the premise is I'm a travelling book store and I complete tasks and befriend the people around the village and I recommend novels to them. There are classics, of course, like Anna Karenina, Little Women, Macbeth, you know, the works. But they also have, again, an updated selection! They have A Song of Ice and Fire, Agatha Christie, some crime novels that I read before. Basically, genre's divided into Fantasy, Kids, Classic, Crime, Literary, and Travel. I can't remember if I'm missing anything but that's basically it. It's so much fun! This is just my kind of game! 

Through all of my lives I never thought I'd wait so long for you

It's my parents' 35th wedding anniversary today! Had a simple celebration at a mano at Shang with the cousins! All charmera photos are from Raissa because.. I forgot mine. I think I only used it for like.. 2 weeks..... Gosh why am I like this. 

Loved this so much! I forgot the name so I had to show the waiter the photo when we previously ate at a mano HAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA sabi ni Raissa, that's one of the reasons why we take photos HAHAAHAHAHHAHHHHAHAHA

Honestly.. it's my dad and his UERM merch against the world.. HHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA

There were other different kinds of food that my parents ordered but I wasn't able to take a photo because I was too busy eating already HAHAHAHHAHAHAAH

Anyway it was a fun night with the cousins (BUT MISSING GABBY!!!!!!!) super bitin when we had to go back home. Patrice showed the new Kobo she bought and OMG SO MUCH LOVE!!!!!! It's so much crisper than a Kindle! But tbf my Kindle is 10th generation from 2018 pa haha. Anyway, I really, really want a new Kobo Libra Colour but Yo won't buy me one, sobrang selfish.. JOKE!

Fun night, fun night!!!

So save that heart for me 'cause girl you know that you're my destiny
