Reading Marathon: The Hunger Games, Catching Fire and Mockingjay






It's been a while since I last read a book. I know, I know, I'm behind in my monthly goal but I managed to read 3 books in one week - that is how addicted I can get when I'm hooked to something.

I will not dwell on the summary except that it's set in a post apocalyptic time and in order to remind people that the Capitol is in power, they hold Hunger Games yearly. Hunger games is a game wherein children ages twelve to eighteen fight it off in a different environment. The remaining survivor will be rewarded with food and supply for the rest of their lives. The whole series revolves around Katniss Everdeen and her life in Panem.


I love the series. It was so well articulated that I could picture it in my mind, from the gold tattoos to the silver parachutes which makes me even more excited because the book will be made into a movie next year.

The last book, Mockingjay, was published last year hence the late post since I hate cliffhangers.

Katniss will be played by Jennifer Lawrence and Peeta will be played by Josh Hutcherson.

Eeeee! Fan girl alert! By the way, I tried buying Mockingjay last weekend and it was sold out! Bummer! I wanted to support a great writer.

I can't wait to see the movie.

KRIS KRINGLE: Something Big

I never thought it would be hard to find something BIG for Php 100 pesos ($2) I short listed the following for my fashionable friend: ...a big box of tissue (useful) ...a big toblerone (but this is WAY over budget) ...a big trash bin ...a case of big oatmeal cookies (last resort) ...a big mirror ...a big bookmark (which i couldn't find anywhere) ...a BIG beer (unrelated) ...a big organizer it's quite difficult really. But I must search for something else. PRESSURE! On a side note, Jamie treated us to Pizza Hut's Lechon pizza. After eating, I felt like I would pass out at any moment due to high cholesterol but it was quite tasty if you're a fan of Lechon (roasted pig). The pizza did taste a bit like Mang Tomas' lechon sauce. A big slice of Pizza hut's lechon pizza

Ironic Cafe Monaco

Tucked in one of the building along Banawe is a quaint restaurant called Cafe Monaco. From the outside, the interiors looked cozy and perfect for hanging out with friends but I was quite surprised when I stepped inside to find out that most tables were occupied by families. And people actually are willing to wait for their turn to be seated! Kudos for that. My basis for choosing a restaurant is based on the line/wait. If the line is long or the waiting list is long, then it must be worth trying. We ate dinner at this restaurant yesterday evening and I actually loved it! It's a bit weird though that the name of the restaurant is Cafe Monaco but they serve a lot of Korean dishes. My aunt said that the owner of the place married a Korean hence the menu with Korean dishes. We tried bibimbap and at first bite, it was okay but the more you chew the better it gets. Healthy too, with little meat in the dish. Prices are friendly on the pocket too so I will definitely go back to try out thei...
