Page 5 of 366: The Specimens!

Well hello there!! Yes, finally, I am back after a week of being MIA :) and you know whyyyy.. Its been a couple of busy days having just finished the Sinulog Festival celebration! And I hope to chip in a couple of posts tonight before I prepare for my midterm exams this weekend. (Oh God, now I realized I have to read five or more chapters/topics every night!)

First stop, a Pre-Sinulog dinner with my dear Specimens Lady and Ron (minus two: Wenah and Karlou). Wonder why we call ourselves specimens? errr, because once upon a time we share the same thoughts and ‘likes’ and lived together in Cebu! (that’s in our own perspective/ of course :)

Btw, here’s our dinner at Bistro Ecila..

One thing I love ’bout this place: the interiors!

Book-lovers as we are, we went straight to Fully booked right after dinner And imagine how thrilled and happy we were to found out they were having a book-sale! Books for only fifty to a hundred pesos?!? Who could resist such bargain? :) After digging on the pile of books, we bought these.. Yes, i’m such a weakling when it comes to books.

We were like kids opening our gits!haha

A good cup of coffee plus a good book equals one great night! 

And oh yes, got my planner that night too! :)

And That’s one! Expect more posts (and by this, heavy photo posts) tonight and tomorrow! :D

Fully booked!

This may sound crazy but I could spend hours or an entire lazy-boring-afternoon inside a bookstore and lose myself in the magic of books (and that’s of course with a cup of coffee at my left hand)! Anyone here share the same insanity? I bet bookworms and bibliophiles do! (:  Fully booked Ayala Center Cebu is just the right place!

In celebration of their third year anniversary last December 17, 2011, they had a Book Grab contest and the launching of another inspiring Pinoy-book, Unscripted by Sarah Meier and Vicky Herrera!

Held at Ayala Activity Center, five contestants were given the chance to take home all books that they’ve grabbed! Imagine that? ahhkk!

Unscripted is based on the conversations transpired from the radio show “The Dollhouse” from Philippine’s most influential and famous personalities. Madame Imelda Marcos, rockstar Raimund Marasigan, the witty Lourd de Veyra, Gang Badoy, the super kaboggera Ms. Tessa Prieto-Valdes, hip-hop group Mastaplann, PBA legend Jeff Cariaso, music legend & guro Ryan Cayabyab and APO Hiking Society Jim Paredes are among the many who were featured in this book.

Aside from being brilliantly talented & witty, aren’t they gorgeous as well? Yes? :)

The book is exclusively distributed through all branches of Fully booked! YAAAY! Isn’t this the perfect gift for the new year?(*cough, *cough) :) Grab one  now!

KUDOS to the staff and management of Fully booked Ayala Cebu for a successful event! Happy Anniversary guys!

And Congratulations Sarah and Vicky for a soon-to-be-in-the-top-sellers book! :D
