    hi, the Flips Flipping Pages is following the story of a murderer. Conclusions, observations, and insights will be shared at the book discussion on Saturday. Please join us. No joining fee, no hassle, no pressure--just walk in, and help us understand this man:

    Hi. The Flips Flipping Pages has another book discussion coming up. Hope you can attend. thanks!

    Finoy Foodies - June Book Discussion

    Because we love food second to books (order of importance may change depending on time of day), the Flippers will tackle a culinary theme this June. To narrow down the countless choices of books, we zoom in on Filipino food.

    See you all
    on June 20, 2009. Saturday. 2PM
    at Katre Mediterranean Restaurant, 103 Dr. Lascano St. Brgy. Laging Handa, Quezon City

    hi Marika! thanks for the invite and also for the feedback on my wishlist. I hope to visit Bookay Ukay next month if my appointment in Manila will push thru. I'll inform you ahead of time so that if you are free perhaps we can meet at Bookay.
