Educators around the world celebrated #InternationalTeachersDay so I decided to honor another teacher this week. That sounded awfully nice of me, therefore untruthful. Tina submitted her responses to the questions when I was about to think she wasn’t interested at all, just in time for the Teachers’ Day celebration. Was that entirely honest? Yes. Was…

September 2019 Articles
Let’s admit it. There are those months you think you’ll be busy only to find out that it can get busier. That’s not comforting for fresh graduates who are looking for jobs out there, I know. Eventually, they’ll face the harsh reality that ideal workplaces will remain a figment of their imagination–unless they do something…
Teacher of the Week: Syme, The Infinite
In continuation of our Teachers’ Month celebration, I have yet another willing victim. This week’s awesome teacher is Syme from The Average Gay Guy. If his name sounds familiar, that’s because he is quite popular, not only in this virtual domain but also, in real life. How he charms people is his ultimate secret. Ask…
Book feature: Vibal Filipiniana Classics, Jose Victor Torres’ El Periodismo Filipino and Dr. Jose Rizal’s Noli me Tangere
For aesthetics alone, I would buy these in a heartbeat at Vibal Group’s booth at MIBF this year!
Teacher of the week, Upon, and her answers to 20 Unusual Teaching Interview Questions
In celebration of Teachers’ month, I forced my friends to answer some questions for fun from the 20 Unusual Teaching Interview Questions from ReallyGoodStuff –although I have to make a disclaimer out there that it was more for my entertainment than theirs, but hey, they responded so that’s a good thing, right? And yes, I…

August 2019 Articles
Binge-watching The Big Bang Theory on Netflix again made my long-weekends fun-filled. It also reminded me that Sheldon’s remarks, although hilarious in the sitcom, don’t sit well with other people. Then again, he’s credible enough to say this: What songs make you work out harder? I normally just listen to ONE OK ROCK’s songs or…
Student of the Week: Alyssa
Thank you, Alys from AlysinBookland for letting me share this tweet. And by the way, although she was a former ‘huntress,’ no rabbit was harmed in the remake of her blog. If you are in the search for prolific book reviewers or simply looking for an example on how to live a double life being…
The ULTIMATE Book Tag, 2019
Suffice it to say I found another book tag–blame all the holidays in August for my sudden prolificness. I got this one from Bookworms Anonymous – for the sake of anonymity, I did not include his or her name. That was a bad joke. Hi, Chiara! I added 2019 to the title with the assumption…
20 Questions Book Tag
I tagged myself to ABookNation‘s post with the same title so you better check it out as well. #1: How many books are too many in a series? After reading Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events, I have started thinking that thirteen would only be acceptable if the author was Snicket, or if the…
