    hey mei,
    goodluk on that exam. You can do it!! I just finished Dan Brown's The Lost Symbol. I was pretty sure I was going to be disappointed but I wasn't. I was enlightened in fact. Its a definite good read. I'm reading Eat, Pray, Love now. Love it so far.
    take care.

    so far a while I was reading The Invisible Man, then got into something else, then Nabokov's "Lolita" which totally exploits children, so I stopped, then got into James Rollins's The Doomsday Key, kind of know the plot so I stopped. A friend gave me Dan Brown's The Lost Symbol and I like it. Its a follow up to Angels and Demons and The Da VInce Code.
    All's well so far. ITs flu season again. I hope you are well. take care.
    what are you reading?

    Hi Mei,
    Oh I know about those Roman Gods and Goddesses. I majored in History, minor in Archeaology. I sitll am fascinated with anything historical. I often wish I had pursued my studies. I probably would have been poor all my life but the discoveries of the past would have more than made up for it. I just finished Great Expectations. I really liked it.
    I hope you are well. And no, now I'm finding that I have less reading time once more. School has started for my daughter..just so busy. Keep well.

    hey mei,
    we're the same, i haven't been in the greatest mood as of late. Hang in there...I mean with the job. At least you have one. Nowadays not a lot of people can say that. I have cousins there in Manila searching for a job. Don't give up. Consider yourself a heroine out of a Jane Austen or Charlotte Bronte novel. Okay, I'll be Jane Eyre. You? I just finished reading Gabriel Garcia Marquez's Of Love and Other Demons. Now, I"m reading Great Expectations by CHarles Dickens. I read 38 book this summer starting June. My daughter read about 25. :)smile")

    hi mei,
    yeah, i wish we had gone to forks. next time. but we were in vancouver also. new moon was filmed somewhere there. Vancouver is a big city, so it could've been anywhere foresty.
    I'm reading Frankenstein now--or still. How's the job hunt? take care.

    hi mei,
    I forgot to mention to you that, maybe I did, that we were in Washington state. We took a ferry boat to Victoria, BC, Canada from Port Angeles. Forks was about an hour drive from Port Angeles. We walked the streets to look for where Edward and Bella had dinner (their first date) but gave up for sheer laziness. They filmed new moon here in Vancouver. so cool!

    hi mei,

    hi mei,
    i miss you too! Its been a while. I've been busy myself. My daughter turned 6, that was such a to-do. We've also been traveling. We are ready to leave again for a 2 week vacation. Then school. aahhh!! I can't wait to lose the summer weight. It should be the other way around.
    I loved Jane Eyre. I can't wait to reread it. I'm finishing up Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte. For my trip, I am bringing Frankenstein, The Time Traveler's Wife and I'll be reading Magic Tree House as soon as my daughter finishes a series.
    Don't despair. Read at your leisure. I know how things gets put aside for a while and something else takes its place.
    Be well. Take care of yourself. Your too young to worry so much!

    hi mei,
    hang in there. I can only read because I stay up late into the evening. Last night for example I went to be at 2am. I couldn't seem to put Jane Eyre down. I'm really tired. Pluse my daughter is out of school, so I do a great deal of entertaining. I hope you are well and much luck to you. I hope you pass your exam.
    Be well and take care.

    hi mei,
    sorry to hear about your tooth. I've had two wisdom pulled and i was out for a week. I lost weight but it wasn't much fun.
    I hope you recover and take lots of pain killer.
    I'm reading Carl Hiassen's Nature Girl. I really like it. He has a dry sense of humor and has a way with his characters. They are crazy, losers and believable.
