bookay-ukay

i loove books! :) and i looove good finds on sale! nevermind if they're second/third/nth hand. hehe. it's the readability that matters to me. and i rarely go back to a book after i've read it (unless of course it's a reference material, naturally). same with films. i don't remember watching a film more than once. now i digressed.

so while am at the ubiquitous BookSale scavenging, I chanced upon this blog-worthy shelf. this special shelf generated a lot of thoughts and smile from me which am sharing to you now. =)

i love books.. my first and last lesbian book is tibok, which i bought 8 years ago.. lost it after a typhoon.. wasn't able to get a copy of "what these hands can do..." i find works written by filipina lesbian writers cool but the person i chatted with in mirc thinks otherwise; she said works done by filipinas are amateurish hahaha.. wala lang.. - knowmehateme

@knowmehateme - hey, i gave Tibok to my first gf and I have an entry in What These Hands Can Do. =) i think filipina writers are talented. maybe the person you chatted with it the one who's amateur. haha

@knowmehateme - :) the last few copies of the book WTHCD got flooded by Ondoy. I think LNS is cooking up a new compilation book. I dunno the details anymore as I didn't submit one this time. I'll check with them and post updates. :)

ahem.. i do not know yung book na "what these hands can do" tutorial ba yun? me copies available pa? hehehe --twistedhalo

@twistedhalo - hehe, I wish! It's a literary compilation of filipina lesbian writers. I'll ask my friend if any is left. I have a few lesbian books, some I bought, some were gifts. I can show 'em. I never really had the chance to devour on them as I kept them hidden inside a super secret box in our house. Maybe I can bring them in our trysts.

@knowmehateme - do join us (if ever the meet ups push thru) so I can also show you the books :)

@twistedhalo - why are you affected if the cashier looks at you in a certain way? about the magical meet up, of course! :) after na lang ng sahod kasi kapos ako ngayon e. unless ililibre nyo ko. hehe.

@knowmehateme - when will your partner arrive?

to the two of you (& others who may want to join) - there's a free film screening in TitusBrandsma in E.Rod, QC this Saturday 1pm. Films are of lgbt theme. There's a discussion after. :)
