MILFLORES SPOTTED!
So far, I’m not done reading Carl Hiaasen’s Double Whammy, and yet I can’t help myself but to eye on more books on sale. I’m shrinking with all my to-read books and here I am adding more weight to the pile.
Milflores Publishing set up their booth at the CAL basement. Arranged in the long table are the ‘rejects [due to seemingly unnoticed nicks] from the bookstores, i.e. National Book Store and Powerbooks. There are lots of good reads in heaps. With more or less Php200 left in my wallet, I burnt half of it over 3 book delights written by wonderful Filipino authors.
2.) Brusko Pink Kingkong Barbies & Other Queer Files – Louie Cano
Originally Php 320, but I bought it at Php 40 ONLY! Nothingness – Bud Tomas
Originally Php 370, but I bought it at Php 45 ONLY!
Good thing I was able to keep ahold of myself, and I stopped at the 3rd book. It’s lunch time and I got less than a hundred to keep myself from starving. Uh-oh! How can I go home?!
(As much as I hate burning my savings for accidental expenses like this, oh yes, I call it ‘accidental’, tsk, I can’t help it!] Oh well, I got another receipt of explaining to tell mom about.
Hush, still…
Tomorrow, I’m coming back for their last day! [25 August, Thursday]. There are more wonderful reads that I should not miss at such low prices! See you there! J
