Bless you!

One of my former professors, Mr. Johnny Rocha, introduced our class to a series of very inspiring videos. He taught us General Psychology so he lectured about how the mind work and things related to that.

When my birthday came, he greeted me on Facebook and sent me a video link. It’s called May You Be Blessed by Kate Nowak. :)

What a great birthday wish, don’t you think? :”)

Review vs. Literary Criticism (via Five Alarm Book Reviews)

This is, indeed, a fact. A lot of people usually get mixed up with the two. Good thing they were differentiated properly in this post. :)

The book review’s purpose is to present enough information about the book to help a person decide whether to read it. A review will state what the book is about, without giving away the full argument if non-fiction, or the plot if fiction.

By comparison, book criticism, more commonly known as literary criticism … Read More

Living simply..it’s a little complex (via Melbourne Mumma)

True! It’s like reading my own mind. :) I am also having a difficult time trying to figure out what to do for the rest of my life. I will re-enter college soon and I am not sure whether to continue what I have started and stick with my dreams or find something more stable and concrete which is far beyond what I what I really want to do and attain.
As per living simply, I actually wanted the same. Victorian era, yes that’s what I fancy about. But of course if you think about it, it is really complex. No instant! One of the conveniences that I love. Lol.

Living simply..it's a little complex I'm a big believer in simple living.  If it were realistic to live without a mobile phone and just rely on the post and a single home phone, like the 1980's model above, I'd be quite happy.  I have an iPhone completely void of any apps and am often asked ''why no apps, why no apps?" but for me, the less buttons, the better (I am scared of apps like 'angry birds'.)
