No schools, employees are on work from home mode, no one should get out of their homes unless getting your necessities (e.g. groceries, medicines, etc.) but all of the malls are closed. Is it just me or anyone here thinks it's also a relief for the environment? and for our tiring social life? I have this introvert side soooo I am so much affected and relieved, thanks to social distancing (kidding).  On a serious note, I am worried for most peo ..read more

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!  It's the start of another decade and we should welcome 2020 with a positive attitude. Have you set any New Year's Resolution?

Anyway, I still have my book goals set for this year, I'm planning to read thirty-five (35) books and I have my Goodreads account to help me track it. I'm also trying this new app, Bookly because I'm personally enjoying the timer. I also made a list of my first three (3) books to read. Also, I've decided to try and read my other books from my TBR list on b ..read more
