The Two Sides of Me

I want want want 2 collections of books.

Funny, though. that these two collections of books I really really want to have are sooo different.

Book Collection 1: Gossip Girl Series

I have always been fond of Gossip Girl Series even before it became a hit TV series. I remember borrowing and reading about two books back in highschool. Now that it is a TV series, I want it all the more. This time I want my own copies. Hahaha. And I have to hurry since the book cover of the new copies being released have been changed to the actors portraying the characters on the show. (I want original book covers of books and not their movie or TV adaptation characters on the cover. Weird. I know.)

Book Collection 2: Ambeth Ocampo Books

If there is one thing that I am grateful to Ateneo for is the fact that professors here are really people who would make one say "HUWOW!" (well, some of them). Anyway, I am soooooooo glad that I was able to get into the class of Ambeth Ocampo for my Rizal class especially since I consider him the supreme authority when it comes to Rizal. I could write here endlessly how much I lalalalalalove Ambeth Ocampo and the way he teached History but that is not my point here. Maybe on a later post. Anyway, I have always been a fan of Philippine History. Ever since I was a kid, I would always have a fascination on it. It makes me feel proud that I was born to a nation with such rich history as ours. And with the wit, with which Ambeth Ocampo writes, it makes me love Philippine History all the more. He does not put Philippine heroes and Philippine Historical Events up n a pedestal which makes history something relate-able. The way he writes make me feel that there really is a connection between me and our History.

So there, you know what to get me na for my birthday, for Christmas, for the "sad-si-Tin-today-I-have-to-make-her-happy" day, for the "I-am-so-happy-I-will-give-Tin-a-book" day, for the "I-feel-generous-I-wil-give-Tin-a-book-today" day, for everyday. hahahaha.
