Valentine's Day, Book Donations

How did you spend your Valentine's Day? Well, Jovan, my parents, and I promised each other that we will not go out to have lunch or dinner so we can avoid traffic. My mom and I also told Jovan not to give me flowers since the prices are ridiculously high. My mom volunteered to go with Jovan to Dangwa if he wants to give me flowers, haha! But not today. :) Cliche and baduy as this may sound - what's so special about today? Love should be celebrated throughout the year.

So how did we spend Valentine's? We had lunch at Manang's with my mom, Karen and Fiesta. Nothing will beat Manang's inihaw, with rice, salted egg, and mountain dew. After that I went to the Learning Links center to meet up with the Library group. I will take this opportunity to ask you guys for book donations. Learning Links is an NGO and a center for Alternative Education for the street children along Katipunan. The center has many projects for this year and one of them is the Interactive Library Program. The center aims to serve as an interactive library/reading nook where kids from poor urban communities in Katipunan can read books and take part in fun activities such as storytelling. We would like to add books to the ones that the library has right now. We are counting on donations from generous people like you. We would appreciate the following: old books, coloring books, crayons, board games, old games e.g. pick up sticks, special card games, etc. You can email me at carambs@tri-isys.com if you're interested in donating.

The whole afternoon was spent just bumming around at home, surfing the net, and fiddling with the new phone.

Hope you had fun today! And... HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!
