    Really? --] "The Year of Living Biblically: One Man's Humble Quest to Follow the Bible as Literally as Possible." As literally as possible? How would that go? I can't imagine. I fear there's something dangerous in that pursuit and I don't know why.

    Hey, finished The Shadow of the Wind! Really liked it! :D

    Kumusta na?

    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
