Not so dapper

I'm merely dashing through this because I'm not in the mood to sleep myself off as early as possible which is my usual weekday routine. I was supposed to drop by Booksale in the mall but the FX didn't pass through the backside so I'll just visit the shop when the opportunity presents itself readily. Anyway I'm not counting my remaining days at the office but I think my officemates are, some I know are not out of malice. Of course the 31st is pretty threatening what with my meager savings in the last minute which can hardly make me breathe properly until I get another paycheck that is.

I'm considering picking another book tonight or tomorrow morning; my mini bookshelf is just beside my bed and I can easily run my fingers through them in a snap. I'm actually thinking of Stevenson's Kidnapped and trying my best not to scowl whenever I see Beckett. Seriously, I love the French people but their intellectual wantonness is a bit disheartening especially for someone like me who just got back to reading. Bolix went online last weekend--the perpetrator of Beckett--and immediately whined about the author. Oh he's patient enough to laugh it off and suggest I can go back to Harry Potter which I countered with a possible Eco return. I think First Love and other Novellas is the... 3rd or 4th book I've abandoned and it's not even my philosophy to ignore one in the middle of a reading. The thickness of the book also matters in my choice because I seriously am not inclined to carry a hardbound everyday to the office unlike Twilight fans (jeezy creezy!) although it would be a nice thing to whack shitty MRT passengers. Heh.

There's another Nike Golf sale at the building and I'm kind of eyeing the black shoulder bag which has a ridiculous price tag. I'm itching for it but I think I have to buy another pair of flats first. Ugh, financial matters are downright hell. C and B are finally talking again I think, fortunately. Someone invited the other at the Cinemalaya premiere with my encouragement that Piolo Pascual will be there for his film Manila. I'm hoping to catch Independencia although it's futile to hope since I will have my civil service exam by the 26th.

Bof!
