And she is one absolutely fun book buddy! I don't call her lola, I call her Mama Lette, shortened for Loretto. Papa calls her Mamang. Grand kids call her Mama Lette, so do her nieces, nephews, and other relatives. She is mother to three sons, (Papa being the middle son) and two girls.
Mama Lette is a retired teacher who also served under the Ministry of Education, during Marcos's administration. She was in fourth year law school when she married Papa Choy, (my lolo) and took up a teaching career when she no longer pursued the bar exams.

I brought home a copy of The Help by Kathryn Stockett and she borrowed it, suggesting we exchange books after I read The Onion Girl by Charles de Lint. Mama Lette makes the perfect book buddy, because we can always exchange books and talk about them when I come home from work and when she has finally settled down in the evening from watching her favorite Koreanovela. =)

Not reading any book at the moment. I'm still in the process of looking for a new book to read by browsing through my friend's shelfari bookshelf. Hehehe Are you on Shelfari? Also, more and more, I find that I have so little time to read these days :( Busy with work, blogging, etc. Huhuhu Sometimes, I wish I can just curl up in bed and read all day. :)
ReplyDeletehaha. No time for reading :( I'm not a bookish person. But now, I gotta to read my law books, or else I don't know what to answer during recitations. haha Plus Mikeeis hilarious in the picture. haha
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comments!
ReplyDeleteMichelle: I'm with Good Reads, it's a great site for bookworms with loads of widgets, features and privileges. I understand your longing for a good book, it could be peaceful sometimes.Perhaps it would be good for you to plan a little quiet time and start with a novella (short novel). God bless!
Czar Ian: I do believe there's always an interesting book for each person, do your best with law school, aim for the straight A's! (Could you believe that headband she is wearing is bedazzled with Angry Birds and set hot pink ribbons?!)
I found a book to read na! This weekend, I finished three books. The Fairy Tale Series by Eloisa James. :))
DeleteWow, enjoy it. You're quite a fast reader! I'm not familiar with the series but I guess I might come across it someday. As soon as I finish the book pile. =)
DeleteYeah. ahaha. did not notice that. but when i gave her the link to see her picture. she's very proud to tell me that her headband is angry bird inspired. hahaha. :D straight A's? oh my. I just remembered mikee told me about your Mama Lette when she was in law school she has really good grades. @@
ReplyDeleteCzar Ian: Don't worry, we won't extend that pressure to you, let's apply that on Mikee. Kind regards to you. =)
ReplyDeletePride and Prejudice! :)
ReplyDeleteJane Austen classic. I have to admit I haven't been brave to take on Jane Austen yet, but my sis is such a fan. Enjoy it!
