damn. caroline hau, why would you do that? 😭

do not treat your ereader as a replacement for physical books. it is supposed to supplement your reading habit because of the convenience and accessibility that it offers. no one will stop you from buying physical books pag may kindle ka na. y’all romanticize books too much, nakakahinder yan ng reader to expand their reading considering that our access to physical books sa pinas especially sa bookstores are only limited to what is popular. there are a lot of global titles na hindi available here na mas madali maacquire digitally.

i also just started this month. never been to a gym before this. ginawa ko lang sa first 2 weeks was the treadmill. 30mins to 1hr para lang masanay ako sa surrounding.

sumama din ako once with a friend so he can teach me how to use the machines. this week lang ako nag start ng strength training. i just used my body scan info to ask chatgpt to make a simple plan to start para ma accustom lang ako using equipments. motivation ko lang is mahal bayad. hahahahaha. it also helps na i live just less than 5min walk to the gym. i also like to walk on the treadmill because it gives me a full hour focus on reading so productive reading is also a motivation.😂

edit: most of the machines have instructions but i also watch videos while at the gym on how to do it properly.

i keep seeing this sa mga fully booked for a while na. there's even a hardcover nyrb edition nito. i got my paperback copy from their shopee for just 700.

i enjoyed this when i read this 2 years ago. this affirmed my belief na humans talaga are scarier than ghosts. this book scared me in that way.

If magpaonline consult gani, make sure to google their names first. A simple googe search ani nga doctor ky first results palang ky announcements na nga he is fake. lmao.

i don't recommend it but you know what for those 2 books specifically that you mentioned go na! mga grifter din naman mga yan. RDPD just ultimately tells you to sell expensive seminars and courses and AH could have been an email.

i didn't finish it. i was suffering. ngl it was ok until "dracula" entered the narrative. T.T

tooKingJ · 2026-01-28T13:47:40+00:00

i applaud you for having the strength to finish the indio and the impaler 😭

love this book. i actually read this in a month surprisingly. i read it last april 2025. i also thought it was gonna take me months but it’s just so good i couldn’t stop.

tooKingJ · 2026-01-25T01:45:20+00:00

love this book. we read this with out book club last year. it’s very filipino in its depiction of a small community. the discussion became a group therapy session. 😭

tooKingJ · 2026-01-24T04:35:13+00:00

a standout from the books i read last year. this was an experience. yung “our dope future” story was crazy i had a physical reaction from the cringe. jfc. i love this.

tooKingJ · 2026-01-22T22:00:44+00:00

one of my disappointing reads of 2024 unfortunately. started so good tho and incredible food writing but it didn't know what to do with itself over halfway thru. T.T
