    Miki and Ana’s Twenty Questions

    March 25, 2017 - By 

    In Songs to Get Over You, Ana suggests that she and Miki get to know each other better by playing Twenty Questions. Now I don’t know the actual questions you’d find if you getĀ this game, but as Ana said, the rules are pretty simple: 1. You answer all the questions, and 2. The questions don’t have to end at 20. So here I’m sharing with you Miki and Ana’s version of the game. I’ve put down my own answers (feel free to ignore them, haha), and I thought it would be fun if you answer them too. Tag me? Okay,…

    10 Books That Have Stayed With Me

    April 12, 2016 - By 

    This assignment has been going around on Facebook for a while now. I thought it would be good to put up here as well in case I wanted to go back to it. Because Facebook has no search option haha. So the task: List 10 books that have stayed with you. Don’t take more than a few minutes. Don’t think too hard. They don’t have to be great works, or even your favorites. Just the ones that have touched you. I think one true test that a book has stayed with you is if you’ve read it not only twice,…

    19 out of 100 as of 9/2013

    September 14, 2013 - By 

    The BBC believes most people will have read only 6 of the 100 books here. I don’t think I will be able to finish this list. A lot of the material honestly seem to be beyond my depth and (to be completely frank) my interests. But I’ve gotten through 19 as of this month, so I guess at the very least I am not most people šŸ™‚ Besides, I also feel that other worthy books are not included in the 100 must-reads. To be fair though, the literary world is an ever changing, evolving space and no list will ever…

    Wet Shirt Mr Darcy Immortalized

    July 9, 2013 - By 

    This is probably the most obscure title I have to type. And I haven’t even gotten to the pictures. Any fan of the Jane Austen classic Pride and Prejudice would probably have a working knowledge of the wet shirt scene, a.k.a. sexy Mr Darcy scene, a.k.a. sexy lakeĀ scene. Although in the book in its consistent theme of strict prudence when it came to the man who owned half of Derbyshire, this scene never happened, the BBC mini series adaptation thought it fit to install a few minutes wherein the dapper Colin Firth falls off his horse into his own lake,…

    Pride and Prejudice: The real dream British gentleman

    June 20, 2011 - By 

    Dream Asian man is Hanazawa Rui, but if I am to cross to the Caucasian side of the earth, hands down winner is always Mr Darcy. I have always heard his name crop up in movies and books, and never being as widely exposed to English literature as I would want, the only occasion for me to finally meet him is only when I dared buy the book. Pride and Prejudice was the first classic I’ve read in years, and out of school at that, and I am eternally in love with it. And this movie version helped. Critics and…
