It was one of those days when I would just want to relax and practically do nothing... but SLEEP! but then I found myself getting into one of my tagalog pocketbooks and literally just read the whole afternoon. Having these books just piled up in a corner of my room (for now) and seeing them everyday since I got them urges me to read more! I am not really that surprised because I felt the same kind of "magnetism" each time I see these books when I was just still a teenager!
I remember being not able to go out that much when I was still living in Manila. My mobility back then wasn't as "free" as I am here in the US. (Other than the fact that we didn't have a driver (but we had a car) since my dad came here to the US, I used to use crutches to move around so it had been hard and oh so slow.) and being overweight made moving around for me even harder.
With that said, it is pretty obvious that reading was pretty much a big outlet for me as I'm not into watching TV that much (although cartoons was a no brainer for me, cartoons and anime were the only ones I watch back then) But now, being older, my reading preferences aren't as broad as when I was younger but I'm still attracted to read the same stuff from time to time : Mysteries, Love Stories/Romances, Fantasy/ Sci-fi and sometimes even the good old classic fairy tales when I just want to to go back to my childhood (even if it is just for a moment. LOL!)
Reading the whole afternoon had been quite relaxing and fun! I haven't had such an afternoon for quite a while! Too bad, I had to stop because we had to attend the 7 pm anticipated mass since we are leaving early for China Town tomorrow to celebrate Chinese New Year and Valentine's Day of course!
