K.D. Absolutely (oldkd) | 6065 comments PH pag 2-letter. PHL pag 3-letter. I-google mo :)

Yon kasing "PI" means Philippine Islands. Panahon pa ng WWII. BPI na lang yata ang gumagamit nyan kaya nagulat lang ako. Sori naman.


message 6702: by Heldervert (new)

Heldervert | 60 comments haha, i've been to saudi, cuba and singapore, OFWs are fond of calling it PI. I don't know why, i think maybe the other meaning of it especially when cursing somebody..hehe joke..di ko rin alam, at first nanibago ago then later ginaya ko na..and it has some kinda humor...


message 6703: by K.D. (new)

K.D. Absolutely (oldkd) | 6065 comments Aha! May humor pala yon. I know what you mean :) Thanks for explaining, Heldervert. Normally, ang nakikinig ko sa mga nasa abroad ay "Pinas."

Eri-chan (ricchan) | 5 comments hello~ Eri-chan from La Union. I am into YA Novels particularly Problem Novels.

I read for entertainment but mostly I read novels that I can totally relate with. I wanted to know how they deal with something (like problems) similar to mine. It's like through these novels, I could make myself believe that there are people who understands what I go through.

Okay, sorry. Too much drama.

Hi to everyone. Lookin' forward to meeting new friends ^_^

Rollie (zheick) | 2096 comments Hello King, welcome to the group. I can't think of a solution for that since ganyan din ako sometimes. But I think it depends on books you're reading if they're enjoyable, page-turner, or boring.

message 6740: by Angus (new)

Angus (angusmiranda) | 4337 comments Heldervert: Hindi naman, ang weirdo lang kasing pakinggan na may nakaprefix na MR sa pangalan ko. :D

King: Welcome to the group! I'm also from Angeles City, but I don't live there anymore. I spent a quarter of the century there.

Regarding your reading concern (I wouldn't want to call it a problem), I think it really is a matter of owning the books that you read. Not in the sense that you buy them, but you have to really commit to them and give them a chance to finish what they are saying. Reading is a conversation between the reader and the writer, so don't leave the person talking left in the air! :D

Tuklas Pahina (TP) | 1191 comments hahaha!...busy pala ang mga tao dito sa koprahan, pangingisda, turismo...


message 6742: by K.D. (new)

K.D. Absolutely (oldkd) | 6065 comments King, I love the BS outlets in Angeles City! Oh, there's only one that I've so far visited: that one at SM Clark. I am sure there are others. :)


message 6743: by Heldervert (new)

Heldervert | 60 comments wow...last time i'm in clark is because of my project. We're the one who made the Widus Vida Hotel, a korean owned 5 star condotel


message 6744: by K.D. (new)

K.D. Absolutely (oldkd) | 6065 comments King, I will never forget the Cabalen dinner we had there. They had frogs and a white custard-like dessert made from carabao's milk (I forgot the name). Yummy! Madalas wala yong mga Cabalen dito ng 2 yan! Unfair.


message 6745: by Angus (new)

Angus (angusmiranda) | 4337 comments Heldervert: Sa loob ba ng Clark yung hotel na iyon o yung nasa may Fields Ave? Hindi ko pa nakita yun eh.

King: Oo nga eh! I wanted to start a book club in our university then, but I had too much on my hands. Ngayon work lang, so yes, more time to read!

KD: Dalawa lang ang official Book Sale outlets sa Angeles. Isa yung sa SM Clark, isa yung sa Nepo Mall. Pero meron ding mga liit-liit na bookstores, like yung mga school supplies shops sa Angeles, may mga magagandang books din (may price tag ng Book Sale, baka unofficial sila).


message 6746: by Kristine (new)

Kristine C Frost (kcstrife) Given everyone seems to have a warm welcome, I would like to introduce myself.

Hello everyone! I'm Kristine, 16 from Manila. I was really eager to join this group to meet fellow Filipinos all over the world who share the common interest which is reading. Aside from reading, I also write stories, some of 'em are on my wattpad account. When it comes to the genre of book, I most likely go to Romance,Humor,Young-Adult,Sci-fi and Chick-lit but I'm not closing my doors for other genres. I also love watching movies and tv shows. But above all, I love playing RPGs(Role Playing Games) usually in PS2,PSP & PC game platforms. (ex. of RPG: Final Fantasy,Draqon Quest) It might sound a bit different to you since I'm a girl and I rarely come across a fellow female gamer but I am. I claim this interest due to the influence of my brother. I'm the middle child and the only girl. 2 siblings, one older, one younger.

Well, I love reading because it gives me a lot of knowledge and gives me this whole new world. I love running things through my mind and imagination. So that's the gist of me :)

Glad to be a member of this group :D


message 6747: by Angus (new)

Angus (angusmiranda) | 4337 comments Hi Kristine, welcome! What's your favorite Final Fantasy game? It's not at all weird to find female gamers, although I have to admit that it's uncommon. (And I haven't been on the gaming scene for years, so it figures if I haven't really met a lot of female gamers.)


message 6748: by Rollie (new)

Rollie (zheick) | 2096 comments Hello Kristine. Welcome to the group! I played RPGs before, too. I wrote stories before, too. Since I started to work, the hobby that I only still able to do is reading. :)


message 6749: by Carr (new)

Carr (capocapo) | 284 comments Ooh, a female gamer. Hello, Kristine! A huge fan of FF games here. :)


message 6750: by Maria Ella (new)

Maria Ella (mariaellabetos) | 1353 comments I suck at RPG, but I love the stories in the games. ansaya lang. Hi Kristine, welcome po~ :D
