Hi! I am from the Philippines and like everyone in Shelfari, I love to read. Used to give up my allowance money to pay my brothers to do housework so I can spend time reading books. Sad to say, reading momentarily took a backseat in my life when I became a mother. But I am determined to make up for it. I try to read 1 book a week but I only get... more »

    Hi Ladyhawke,

    Forgive me...I had the wrong hat on when I answered your question. You posed a question to Kimani TRU with the dancing ballerina girls. Again sorry for the confusion.

    No worrying:

    that's just something I refuse to do!
    It doesn't do any good. But, we are friends....there, I care. As for my personal life, well, that person, is still, as she will always be....very dear to me. The books, yes, why sure, get back to me....Knowing this: That a gift refuse!....Means no blessings for the giver!

    JASS!

    With Great Love!

    Ladyhawke, I haven't read Bridges of Madison County, but I have read the Shawshank Redemption, a couple times. You are right it's a great story. I thought it was one of King's best works even though it wasn't the style of story he is known for writing. Although being sent to jail for life for a murder you didn't commit would be an absolute nightmare. As for my favs its hard to really say, I've read so many great books. I just finished reading the Gate House by Nelson DeMille and loved it. If your intrested in checking it out I recommend reading DeMille's novel the Gold Coast first as the Gate House picks up ten years after the end of the Gold Coast.

    I am familiar with all of the Philippines:

    I am a businessman, and we, my group...."Putting America Back to Work Project" we are going to invade the new presidential regime, in May 2010 with our idaes to seduce America to include them in their idea,
    to make the Philippines, as they did Korea and Mexico, bring the American industry there....You know? I am
    currently talking to some Nike corporate executives about building a Nike Plant in the Philippines.

    And Mercedes, and the Ford Automobile industry, about doing the same! The Philippines has a very Beautiful
    area....I have seen some of them, farms, and land around the Pacific....They would be perfect, for industry use! Besides, the Philippines main way of making money is Agricultural....that, I am afraid, as time goes by, May not be enough to sustain it! I am Tito to two Beautiful Children there....I have to think about their.......

    future. Oh, Yes....I am a polific reader, and have been so for a very long time: I LOve reading, yet I read only books that I can get something from! I do not read books that are waste timish. Like Chick-lit and other like so books. l am a man of great learning, I am retire Lawyer, a Harvard Graduate. I love teaching the youth
    about their History! I have a Masters Degree in just about every Genre of History one can acclaim.

    African, European, you name it, I have a good, or great Knowledge base concerning it! I was going to marry a beautiful young woman from the Philippines....My God, she was perfect....But I am a man of GOD, and do things only that Pleases mt Father....For I do All thing, foreverly pleasesing Him! She didn't understand that! And she resolved our relationship. But her Tatay, and Nanay, I came to respect greatly!

    We, her Tatay and I had a lot in common....As for me, you requested that I tell you somethings concerning myyself....Well, I am 65 but I look like I am 39-40....I am retire: I retire 30 years ago....from contracting, I still am one of the major principles of one of the largest contarcting companies in this country. In addition to that, I own one of the largest Music, and Book distributing Companie here, about the 4th Largest! I am an...

    retired Martial art Champion....I was even the grand champion in Okinawa....in the style of Okinawa-sho-ryn-ru. I lived in Okinawa for hmmm, about 7 years! So you see my friend....my life has been, and still is....pretty full, and exciting. Ok, other then my 9 children, and my 27 grandchildren....and the fact that I am vegan....an astout vegetarian....you now know everything there is to know about me. Smiling! Thanx again

    for accepting my request to become great friends. Currently....I am still concerned about the relationship I was in: But I am a man of GOD, first before anything! I can handle any and all things that come my way!
    But enough about me, how's your husband, does he read? As far as tips for helping your children to read....
    send me their ages....and an address, talk it over with your husband, and if he agrees....

    I will send the children some books and some music ect. I sure that they will love to be the recipient of gifts from an American Tito (smiling) That just might be the thing....tip they would need to read more.

    JASS!

    Thanx Again:

    I am Reading 10 Books,

    "The Diving Bell And the Butterfly", written by Baury, "Doing What's Right", Tavis Smiley, "The End of Blackness", by J. Debra Dickerson, "My Bondge My Freedom", Fredrick Douglas, "Living With Music" Ralph Ellison, "Wynton Marsalis", To A Young Jass Musician", "Iggy Pop Open Up and Bleed", Paul Trynka,
    "In Seach of Billie Holiday", Farah Jasmine Griffin, "Black Titan", Carol Jenkins, and finally, and it's about time,

    "Everything But the Burden", By Greg Tate. So, there we go....it appears as if we both are polific readers....
    huh? I read this way all of the time. Maybe it has a lot to do with, my being an Our-Storian.....You know, like a Historian....But I simply, as an Our-Storian, tell our story, as a Man of Colour, a bit more accurrately, and with truth! Hmmm, but enough about me, tell me a bit more about you.

    You are a mom, does the baby like to read....Does your husband read? And you are from the Philipines huh? Tell me, are you from Makati? Oh, I am sorry, I see, you are Sta. Rosa, Nu, Philipines.....Great, are you Liking the fact that Noy,Noy Acquino will be the New President in 2010? Ok, I am not going to keep babling on and on, and I am sorry to hold ya up....

    But please, lets stay in friendship touch, that is, in true friendship touch. I truly would like for us, to become good friends. Ok, enough for now....we'll be talking later....I Pray!

    JASS!

    Great to be friends

    Thanx Again:
