Hi Mike! nasa IT field din ako, ayang si LS mabait yan namimigay ng copy ng audiobooks :D

[Jamiracu]

LS: yes yes :)) oracle :) database din pero hindi ako DBA :)

Hi Shinmaum! Engi audiobooks! :))

[Dante]

Welcome to all the newbies! Hi Mike! Finally you're here na! Hehehe...

I'm not a newbie anymore. Been visiting these forums since last year, and I love reading the threads. But I haven't been active in the threads lately because of my busy schedule. I also wanted to participate in the monthly Face to Face book club discussions, but I'm based in Cebu. :( Kaya inggit ako kay Mike kasi he's based there hahaha.

[K.D.]

Jamiracu: Oracle din ako. Functional hahahaha. Ayan may makakausap na ako.

[Jamiracu]

Hi kuya Dante! haha yes yes I will try to go to Manila events :) yay!

K.D. and LS. and Shinmaum! mukhang kailangan natin gumawa ng thread pang IT hahahaha :)) or meron na ba? link! link!

[Angus]

Ako IT rin ako pero wala akong alam sa mga iyan, hahaha. Kaya nag technical writer na lang ako. :p

Oracle, pakisagot naman ang tanong ko: makakapag-asawa pa ba ako? :D

Dante, pasyal ka minsan dito sa Manila, or kung may business appointment ka rito, we can meet you, like Atty. Lynai. :)

Would love to meet you guys! :) Sure, if ever we can visit Manila again, I'll do my best to attend your book club discussions. Sana maka-timing ako sa F2F ninyo hehe.

Oo nga naman, i didn't much have time to visit your box account, i'm reading two books in epub and another is in paperback. BTW THANK YOU LS for being a good samaritan cause you've been generously giving a copy of the books that you have :)And also, I love this group kaso nagkakataon di ako available sa events :|

LS wrote: "Dante and Jamiracu: So, you guys, would you like to give audiobooks a try? I'm sharing out a handful of them via a shared Box.com folder."

Wow, really? Thanks! How do we access it? :)

I used to listen to audiobooks a lot. But then I don't drive a car often anymore. But I'd like to try them again.

Yes yes yes! :D I would like to try audiobooks for the first time! haha :D

[Angus]

Dante, kahit hindi F2F ang arrival mo, okay lang naman din. Basta mag-announce ka lang. :)

Since I am the one, kailangang magkaroon na ako ng oracle. The Mismatched Oracle of the Great God Angus!

madami nang nangyari eh, naipalabas na ang Hunger Games, tapos di pa din tau nakapagmeet ulit..haha..PM kita :)

[K.D.]

Dante: Let us know when are you coming to Manila, puwedeng pagusapan na itapat dyan ang F2F especially if in the last 2 weekends of the month ang timing mo.

We'd like to branch out sa Vis-Min someday. Then general meet up sa Cebu or Davao. TFG F2F goes nationwide! Puwede kaming magbasa ng local books by a Visayan author tapos the author will grace our book discussion.

[Gail]

My name's Gail. Originally, binalak ko na isang sentence lang ang isulat dito pero nasulyapan ko ang mga reply niyo at nahiya naman ako. Haha. Originally din ay di ako nagta-Taglish dahil ang 'conyo' ng dating pero walang magagawa kung talagang nahihirapan na magtranslate.

Sa katotohanan, Patricia ang tawag sakin. Pero dahil narealize ko na never kong maa-outgrow ang pagkabulol ko sa 'R' (sadly), Gail nalang ang ginagamit ko. Kahiya naman kung maski ako, di kayang sabihin ang sarili kong pangalan? Ako ay 15 at dito lang sa group na ito ko ipagkakalat iyon. Huzzah, Filipinos group!

On second thought, hindi ko kayang i-match yung mga post niyo. Tinatamad na ako. Kontento na ko sa 3 paragraph, oh yes.

[Angus]

Hi Patwicia! Gail pala, hehe. Hindi ba makukuha sa speech therapy ang 'R' issue mo? Pero ayos lang iyan. Si David Mitchell nga ay may stammer, pero nakasulat na siya ng 5 novels, 4 sa kanila ay longlisted/shortlisted sa Man Booker. Kaya ayos lang iyan!

What kind of books do you read?

[Gail]

That's just downright mean, right there. Haha. Maybe, but hindi ako sure kung saan sa 7,000+ islands ng Pilipinas ako makakahanap ng speech therapist. Apparently, may pagka-rare ata sila o sadyang pinagtataguan lang ako. Eh.

Maybe kaya gumana kay David Mitchell ang pagkakaroon ng stammer ay dahil hindi kinailangan sa kanyang chosen profession ang pagsasalita? Lucky.

Ako ay isa sa mga taong sobrang gifted na walang pinipiling genre. Haha. Pero majority ng mga kinatutuwaan ko ay end-of-the-world themes. Dystopia ba ang tawag doon?

[Nikki]

hi Im Nikki. I am 15. Well, my story was kinda long, haha! But definitely I just love to read books thats why I am encouraged to sign up in this site, as well as this group. I can't specifically determine kung ano ang gusto kong book, marami kasi e. hehe.

[M G]

Hi Gail! Sa palagay ko okay lang ang Taglish. Wag lang like make usap like this kase nakakaasarr ehh. Conyo is like... yuck. Hahaha!

Hi Nikki! Feel at home~~ What books do you like to read? :)

[Nikki]

Uhm... Victorian Gothic is really good and mysteries, and some more, iba iba kasi ang genre na hinahanap ko, minsan based lang sa nababasa ko dun sa likod ng book. hehe, or some recommendations. :)


GAIL! I also have a friend na nabubulol sa R. At eto pa, her name was full of R's kaya shes kinda bashful when she mentions her name. haha, pero sabi naman, maoovercome niyo din yan sooner. (hopefully) and I also like your thought about the Conyos. :)

[Gail]

Reianne: Yeah... medyo na-immune na ko sa kaasaran sa conyo dahil nagpapaka-ganoon yung isa sa closest friends ko. Oh yes, a conyo, slightly feminine, hipster-wannabe na ubod ng taray at daig pa babae... and he must never lay his eyes on this post. Haha

Nikki: Hey, as long as there's a chance that'll it'll leave me sometime, I'm content. XD

[Tuklas Pahina (TP)]

Hi! Nikki and Gail...

[Apokripos]

Welcome to the Group, Gail!

I think you should befriend Krizia Anna here since she is our resident speech pathologist.

Have fun and my warm regards. :)

[Maria Ella]

Naiinggit ako sa mga IT people ah, sila ang mas mahilig magbasa kesa saming mga accountant. bakit kaya?! i-meet nyo naman ako ng mga accountant na mahilig rin sa book. wala rito sa workplace eh - they consider me as unique. :p

Hello Patricia (aka Gail) and Nikki. Ayan, may victorian gothic booklover at dystopian booklover na rin dito. nice to meet you! :D

[Maria Ella]

punta kayo sa workplace ko't bibigyan ko kayo ng samu't-saring trabaho para wala lang. bwahaha bwahaha bwahahah :p

[Angus]

Hi Gail, si David Mitchell ay naging teacher din before becoming a published writer.

Hi Nikki, welcome sa group!

[Gail]

Angus, honestly, hindi pa ako (ata) nakakabasa ng work niya so...yeah. Haha

Huzzah, dystopian books!

[Tina]

Ella: Kasi nagsawa kami sa coding and techie stuff, so we go to books instead. Escapism, ika nga. :D

Hello to all newbies. :D

You mean a simultaneous book club meeting in Manila and Cebu? Sounds interesting. :)

Sige, pag-aralan ko muna how you guys do your F2F. We used to have a book club here a long time ago, but we only had informal discussions. Your meet ups are more interesting and fun. We'll see. :)

[K.D.]

Dante, no. We will hold our F2F there in Cebu. This is a possibility. Time will come when the young yuppies become more stable in their jobs and have money for travel. Most of our members are newly grads or twentyish. So, medyo struggling pa. Mga 5-10 years from now, malalaki na ang suweldo nila at afford nang mag-travel.

[M G]

@Nikki: Meron akong Anne Perry book na Victorian Age ang setting at detective story siya. Maganda!! sabi ng original na may-ari bago niya ipamana sa akin. (Di ko pa nababasa):D

@Maria Ella: Dahil siguro matagal mag-run ng programs? Nakakita kasi ako dait, 24 hours nag-run yung program... So maraming spare time? Chos! Ewan, I'm so clueless. XD

[K.D.]

Yes, to Sinulog! January meet up! :)

[AJ]

[K.D.]

Arthur: I and my family will have a 3-day vacation there in Davao (April 28 flyout Manila; May 1 flyback to Manila). Want to meet up?

I had the same opportunity to meet the TFG Cebu last Christmas season but they suddenly kept silent when I was there (Dec 27-30). Not sure why. Maybe they thought that I was not worth meeting in person hahahaha. I am a very warm friendly fatherly kind of person so don't be shy. I can even buy you a meal if you are brave enough to meet me hahahaha.

Deal? If you say yes, I can PM you our hotel and some itinerary (for where and when we can meet). I know I least one used to be active member and I am planning to contact her maybe next week.
