Spotlight: #BigBadWolfBooksPH is back in Manila

-

It's that time of the year again and the Philippines once again welcomes the wolf with the many books. Yup, the biggest book sale in the world is in Manila once more -- Big Bad Wolf Books. VIP day was last Feb. 13 and the sale officially opened its doors last Valentine's Day. Looks like BBW has learned from its rough patch from last year's faulty system. The main complaint from last year's sale was the slow check-out time. Last year saw the sale be disabled by their computer system, every item scanned took a minute or two before being read by the computers making the time at check-out last to a half-hour per customer. Seeing as it was a big sale, one customer could have about 20 or so books -- imagine how long that would take. By the time this entry has been posted, the #BBWManila2020 has been in the country for four days and I've visited the sales three of those four days. The faulty system has been resolved and the three times I've been on the sal...

**This was written back in December of 2012, a couple of months before my college graduation. This was also sent for consideration for a youth column but was not published. I think I read a quote about choosing between what you love to do and what you need to do. If someone knows the quote I'm talking about, feel free to look it up and tell me because right now, I need that to be my life motto.

Needless to say, no one has replied back (yet, fingers crossed). Ah, the harsh part of the next stage of life, after college, the real world. No matter what, the college you attended, the course you took, and...

Spotlight: Cheer the Revolting Children in #MatildaTourMNL

-

Matilda was a constant companion during my childhood, both book and movie. She was the girl that was like me: a bookworm but without the unloving home and terrifying school (total opposite on both fronts for me). Roald Dahl's book was read multiple times and the movie watched anytime it was shown on TV (this was before the invention of VCDs, yes I'm that old). I had only learned about the musical recently and jumped at the opportunity to watch it a the London West End production visits the Philippines for its International Tour. PLOT: I won't get into much detail since Matilda is beloved children's book and movie. Basically the story revolves around Matilda, a very intelligent little girl who is born into a family that pretty much do not care for her existence one bit. She finally reaches the age that will be heading to school, which for Matilda, seems like freedom. School presents salvation in the form of Matilda's teacher Miss Honey, and terror in ...
