Something about being a bookworm...

When I was a child, my dad would often bring me to the National Bookstore branch at Cubao. Being the spendthrift that I was (and probably still is), I would never buy something that I think that is too expensive, so every summer, during National Bookstore's sale, my dad would bring me again to this paradise and he'd let me choose books I longed to read. It doesn't matter whether it was published even before I was born, as long as the synopsis calls for me, I know that it will be mine to read.

I remember during my sophomore year in High School when the Asian Crisis started and when the fall of the value of Peso got my heart broken. Foreign books only cost around Php30 then, that is easier for me to save up, but after the devaluation of our domestic currency, the prices of the books I loved rose up to Php100, and that is enough to have my heart broken with regrets.

Being the bookworm that I am, I raided 3 bookstores to find numerous books for my heart's delight.
