Evolving Perceptions

After Baguio we went to Vigan, Ilocos Sur and stayed there for three days (May 23-25, 2015).  This place takes you back in time during the Spanish Era with the old structures of houses and the cobbled streets of Calle Crisologo. We stayed in Cordillera Inn, which was really beautiful. Staying their really felt like you were in the olden times with the wooden furnitures and floors. Plus it is located in the famous street of calle Crisologo   Cordillera Inn For more information about Cordillera Inn Address: #29 Mena Crisologo Street Vigan City, Ilocos Sur.

My family and I went on an eight-day road trip from Manila to Ilocos Norte. It was my second time doing this route with my first time 12 years ago. Our first stop was Baguio where in we stayed there from May 20-23. We checked in The Manor, Camp John Hay, which was as beautiful as I remembered it 12 years ago.        The Manor was amazing. The staff was very welcoming and the rooms was super nice. The following day we went on a tour around Baguio. First we went to the Mansion Then we went to the Wright Park was so beautiful because it was surrounded by many flowers, which was nice because you do not see that many flowers around in Metro Manila. Next we went to Mines View Park, which has an amazing view of Baguio. We also met this adorable dog-named coco. Baguio Cathedral La Trinidad Valley where we got to buy so many strawberries for a cheaper price compared to the ones in the markets and they were organ...

I know that I am so late with my TBR list but it is because I was skeptical of doing one this month. I have a lot of books to read and I don't want to follow a list when I'm reading, since my preferences changes a lot so it hard for me to follow my TBR list. Than I realized that I have a lot of series that I want to start (like the heroes of olympus, throne of glass, etc) and I just want to finish all my stand alone novels and series/trilogies that I have not finished.  So the first pile is the books that I have already read this month. I won't go into detail since I'll be doing an end of the month wrap up of all the book I have read.   1. Unravel me by Tahereh Mafi - It's been in my goodreads to read bookshelf since 2012  2. Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo - The reason why I started this trilogy even though my goal is to read first my other series/trilogy is that Leigh Bardugo is having a book signing next month and I want to finish this trilogy bef...

            Ready Player One is a science fiction and dystopian novel. It takes place in the year 2044, where in the world is not a good place to live in and the people’s way of coping with the situation is by jacking into a virtual utopia called OASIS and wining a contest that the deceased creator, James Halliday, made. And most of the people are dedicated in winning the contest in order to gain Halliday’s fortune. Wade is the main protagonist and he lives in a crappy situation. He’s poor and living with his aunt who constantly maltreats him. In terms of characterization he is a type of person who is driven by emotion. Meaning, he lets his emotion clouds over his mind when making decision, thus resulting in stupid actions, which resulted with the sixers bombing his home thus killing his aunt and his neighbors. But this characteristic of his does not make him any less for me but it makes him relatable to the reader. Art3mis is the love interest of Wade...
