Website: Dominican Sisters of the Trinity Davao

Dominican Sisters of the Trinity WebSite

My aunt, Sister Annabelle, requested a new website for the Dominican Sisters of the Trinity's Center for Justice & Peace. I used GeoCities for their old site, and fortunately, although GeoCities is no more, we can still view it here thanks to the web archive project of geocities.ws. Also shown here are some of the Center's products, made to order cards and bracelets.

The Perks of Being a Wallflower

In the wake of the coming movie, I read the book my cousin made me borrow.

Though I didn't really love the novel because it reminded me too much of the Catcher in the Rye, there are some things I LOVED about it. It has its own playlist, book list and movie list. The characters were very memorable. Then it also contained one of the days dearest to me. Lucky day.

Perks of being a wallflower
ahh good ol' Nick Drake in the list!

Perks of being a wallflower
I've only read Peter Pan, To Kill a Mockingbird, The Catcher..., and Walden

Perks of being a wallflower
Still have to watch My Life as a Dog and The Unbelievable Truth

Perks of being a wallflower
The day I turned 9 :)

My favorite quote in the book is a conversation Charlie, the main character, had with his English teacher, Bill.

~ Do you always think this much, Charlie?

~ Is that bad?

~ Not necessarily. It's just that sometimes people use thought to not participate in life.

As for the movie, it stars Logan Lerman, Emma Watson, and a young actor I've been hearing (reading) a lot lately, Ezra Miller. Paul Rudd will be Bill, the English teacher! Yes, he deserves an exclamation mark. :)

Book Spine Poetry

A friend introduced me to book spine poetry (also here) last month. It sounded fun so I tried my hand at it. Here's two short poems from what small collection I had.

In my hands
Old books, rare friends
American gods, eternal enemies

book spine poetry

The dark is rising
north and south
The light in the forest
scream nil by mouth


Now it's your turn.
A shout-out to Chi. Your Old books, rare friends featured hehe.
