My Pearl Farm Davao Dream

I have long drooled over Pearl Farm Beach Resort in Davao. I even posted something about it here . Besides wanting to share my desire, I was actually trying to follow the teachings of 'The Secret' and thought that if I visualized my dream, it would come to me and come true.
Now, almost 5 years later...


 I am so excited. Yes, it took me 5 years to reach my dream - but hey, others never do.

Ebooks VS Paperbacks

A long-standing debate with myself...
Ebooks are cheaper (FREE actually) but I love seeing all my books in my library, and Ebooks cannot really compare to having an actual book on your hands...
But still, ebooks are free.
