The first time I saw beautiful beach of Belitung Islands in Mr. Sindhiarta Mulya's MP, I immediately amazed. I contacted my travel buddies (Mery and Angel) and we're agreed to plan a trip to Belitung. We made phone calls to the person who might have known much about Belitung and decided that June or...
Today, I will be moving out the last of my belongings at my apartment on Fulton. I can't say I'm too torn up about it but there were definitely some...memorable moments there. So I have about two and a half weeks free before PPIA starts, so I figure I should make some plans to do some things: - Go...
I couldn't help but smile when I read an article this morning in "The Washington Post" about India advocating Bed and Breakfasts to ease a hotel crunch, given the post I made just the other day, and a long held interest of mine in that very same place. Off and on over time I've wished to pay it a...
I made this list a while ago, but have gotten around to posting/editing it. I'm giving myself until May 2010(when I graduate college) to finish it. Please leave a comment telling me any books you recommend. Thanks =) Start: January 5th, 2007 Books: Alphabetical by Author ( [R] are the books I'm...
There's no cure for a rotten morning like buying three new books and three new magazines on your lunch break.

Red ones are ones I've read. 1. The Road , Cormac McCarthy (2006) 2. Harry Potter and the Goblet of...
The Namesake by Jhumpa Lahiri pertama kali gue denger waktu melayani pembeli di Kutukutubuku.com. Dia beli buku impornya yang gue pegang dengan tangan gue sendiri waktu wrapping. Namun kala itu penasaran hanya bisa dipendam aja. 1,5 tahun kemudian, saat akan pergi liburan dan sedang sibuk cari-cari...
Got nothing to do. Been bumming around the whole day. I just didnt feel like working. Ho-hum. Newsies: Been pondering on whether I should take the ABS-CBN job offer. All advices from friends say I should. Why am I still hesitating? That McRice burger thingy aint bad! Loved the Beef Supreme. Has been...
Aside: I'm trying to write this review while watching Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, which means that I'm crying like a freaking baby. So I'm sorry if this is a bit scattered. The Namesake, written by Jumpha Lahiri, tells the story of Gogol Ganguli, an American-born Bengali son of immigrants from...
My question this morning is: How do I find time to read all the books I want to read? I currently have a 35 pound totebag of a variety of things from Anne Lamott (love her), to Jhumpa Lahiri, Julia Cameron, to Rosemary Mahoney, to Mary Pipher. The books run the gamut from writing and creativity, to...
