While chatting up with him earlier, discussing my experience so far with, ahem, his gift, a rather pleasant surprise came in the form of the local mailman delivering the JBL / Roxy reference 250 earbuds I ordered a month and one day ago (to be exact). It sure took its time getting here! 😀
So I was chuffed as expected. After all I had almost lost hope that it would ever get here. To the local Post Office’s credit, it was stamped “Received” only yesterday so my faith in the Philippine postal service is somewhat restored. 😛
Anywho, he retired early so for a change I shut down my laptop after he went to sleep and just read for most of the afternoon while listening to music. Damn, I missed my iPod! Speaking of, it’s looking quite scratched battle-worn, eh? But still working just fine and that’s what matters. Haven’t used it for the longest time because I got no decent cans to use with it, so the arrival of the earbuds was really a godsend. 🙂
I finished reading Pride and Prejudice and Zombies and started with a couple more. One is The Sleeping Doll by Jeffery Deaver, one of my most read authors ever since I saw the movie adaptation of The Bone Collector (which started my fascination with forensics by the way). The other is the first book of the Wolves of Mercy Falls trilogy by Maggie Stiefvater, Shiver.
There are some 150+ books now loaded into my Kindle, some of which I’ve already read (but still loaded up anyway just because I want them in my collection). Not a large collection yet by any standards, but enough to keep me busy for a few weeks without having to load up new books. 😉
How do you order books for your Kindle? I heard you still can’t do that here in RP. =(
You can get e-books from Amazon sis. I got some of mine from there, but I only get the free ones though. 😀 Others I got from Free Ebooks for Kindle. The most recent are free e-books from the seller where I got my Kindle from. 🙂
Awww! That is so nice. Now, my urge to have Kindle increases. Lol. But buying one will have to wait. Read on. :)) And be happy
Thanks sis! 🙂
I have always failed at a 365 project. 😀 You know, start off strong… then duh. Keep this up! And I would love for you to join my Colorful Weekend meme too… show off the colors that made your weekend rock. 😀
My Project 365 has been quite intermittent to say the least these days. 😀 Been a bit busy as of late.
Nice one sis! Oh btw, I posted the details of the August blog-a-day challenge already in my blog. I’ve tagged you. 🙂 http://linesfromthewire.blogspot.com/2011/08/august-blog-day-challenge.html
Will start tonight if I have time sis.. Otherwise I’ll be doing my first entry tomorrow. Sorry about that, but I think you’ll agree that I have a pretty good reason for being a bit busy to post an entry when I finally divulge.. 😉
