[General] Introduce Yourself! Showing 8,451-8,500 of 8,626

[tovarisch]

Hi I'm A. Superlurker. I read mostly scifi saka classics plus technical books (kelangan sa trabaho). :D

[Angus]

Jomille, hmm, okay lang naman. However, I'd suggest to make real purchases (online or at book stores) lalo na kung yung writer ay magaling pero underappreciated. It's a way of helping them earn a living so that they could write more.

Hi Tania, Shxrxn, and Allan. Welcome and enjoy! :)

Practicality wise, I download books that I'm not so sure if it's a good read or not. I only buy books that I really love and those that are highly recommended. I know downloading is like stealing from the author but, I don't have a job to support my addiction- reading. The only thing I do to make it up to them is to give good recommendations/reviews about their books. AND, hey, there are free books in Kindle store and Amazon. Sometimes you can find really good books in there even though they're free. :)

[Bemy]

Hi my name is bemy. I love reading books and it's so great to read with filipino raders. And also i'm a Filipino..

thank you po, angus. feeling ko pa ang babait ninyo po.

[Jayson]

Hello. Ako si Jayson Troy Cuison ng Pangasinan, social realism ang genre ko. Mahilig akong magbasa ng Philippine Literature lalo na ang mga libro ni F. Sionil Jose. Sa ngayon, tinutunton at hinahanap ko ang pagiging Asyano natin kaya nawawalan muna ako ng interes sa mga Western authors.

Maraming salamat dito sa The Filipino Group dahil natulungan ako nito na mahanap ang mga magagandang Filipiniana books. :D

Free books online vs. buying books? Hm, I don't have enough money to support my addiction, too. But I actually do both. I download and buy them when I get the money. It all comes from my savings 'cause I'm still a student so I read before I buy. :) I just love hoarding books. I love the beauty of a bookshelf full of books. Oh, and mostly, I search for books on Book Sale and Books for Less. They're much much cheaper there. But, only some of the books.

Hi Jomille, may complete set ka ng series of unfortunate events? Is there a site you or anyone here can recommend for download? I prefer reading actual books Pero wala talaga ako mahanap na series nito eh ^___^ would really appreciate your response. thanks in advance :-)

[Jomille]

Kung may bittorent ka may kumpleto sa kickass.com! Mahrap na maghanap sa mga bukstores miss mishi!

[Mishi]

Hello Ranee! Maraming salamat sa pagbati at pagtanggap sa akin. Nakakatuwang malaman na may kabaleyan ako dito. Maraming salamat sa 'yo! Nahilig akong basahin ang mga libro niya mula nung mabasa ko ang Po-on. May special shelf kasi ang mga books niya sa University of Pangasinan library na lagi kong binabalik-balikan. Kung hindi ako nagkakamali, 5 lang yata ang kulang na titles doon. Laking tuwa ko rin nang nabanggit ang ilang mga lugar sa Pangasinan sa mga kwento.

Taga Mapandan ako. :)

Hello Biena! I already sent you a message. Thanks a lot for the reply. :D

hi

[GenovaGee]

Hi all, my name is Genova. Hmmm, I love post-rock and classical music. I'm a grade 3 violinist and a drummer-wanna-be. XD I'm into historical fiction, goth/occult, mystery/thriller, paranormal, fantasy/epic fantasy.  I'm a sucker for Carlos Ruiz Zafon works and the Holocaust. Nice to meet you all! 

[Knight]

hello guys.. i'm knight uhmm. i love epic fantasy and i'm addicted to a song of ice and fire by george rr. martin.. and i'm tired of waiting for his books to come.. well if any of you guys are facing the same dilemma i'm just here to share your grief.. :)

[Angus]

Hi Noelle, best of luck to your bookstore!

Hi Knight, I think a lot of you are facing the same dilemma.

Hi GenovaGee. I like mbv and Sigur Ros (and a little Mogwai and Slowdive). I'm a Grade Zero violinist (I gave up after a year).

Welcome!

Hi Angus! I like them too! And I'm so in love with Explosions in the sky. :) Oh, that's sad to hear but why did you give up? (I lack in practice na eh. :( )

[GenovaGee]

Hi Knight! Try Brandon Sanderson! :)

[Angus]

Hi GenovaGee, well, nasira kasi yung pegs due to OA na humidity. Eh hindi ko na pinagawa. Student violin siya so I thought bili na lang ako ng bago, hanggang sa nabaon na ito sa ilalim ng to-do list ko, hehe.

Also, my teacher left the city, so hayun. I-explore ko muna ang Explosions in the Sky. :)

Naku. Sayang. :( Sensitive talaga ang violin eh and mabilis mawala sa tono. Anyway, you'll gonna love explosions in the sky lalo na yung " Your hand in mine". :)

Genova, we have five things in common: historical fiction, holocaust, Zafon, detective/mystery genre, and classical music (mostly Chopin. I try to be a decent piano player but in vain. I could barely control my left hand.) Anyway, Hi!

[GenovaGee]

Raphael wrote: "GenovaGee wrote: "Hi all, my name is Genova. Hmmm, I love post-rock and classical music. I'm a grade 3 violinist and a drummer-wanna-be. XD I'm into historical fiction, goth/occult, mystery/thrille..."

Hi Raphael! Oh, that's nice to hear. :D Practice lang yan! Chords lang alam ko sa piano eh. Haha. Have you read all of Zafon's works? I'm into Bach and Vivaldi eh and Tartini too (just a bit).

[Raphael]

Oh, just two of Zafon. Angel's Game and The Shadow of the Wind, but the latter is very high on my list. Glad you like Bach too, another thing we have in common :) ("Air" is very relaxing for the mind). I'm not too acquainted with Vivaldi, and never heard of Tartini. I listen to Tchaikovsky, Liszt, Mozart, and a little bit of Beethoven.

[GenovaGee]

Oh, yes! I like Air too and Cello suite 1. I don't know Tchaikovsky eh. Pero parang familiar si Liszt. Unfortunately, I'm not into Beethoven. And I like Mozart sometimes. Try Vivaldi's " four seasons" and Tartini's "devil's trill" they're awesome!

Nice, nice. Try his other works too like "Prisoner of Heaven" (it's the book 3 of Cemetery of Forgotten books) and "Marina". :)

Sadly I'm not too keen on reading YA's these days. As of now I mostly read Noir or WWII-related books. But for sure I'll eventually read Prisoner of Heaven in the future.

Four Seasons, lol that's the only Vivaldi I know. I always come across that one/those four whenever I browse around in youtube. Anyway, try Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto (do pick Cliburn's performance!) or Waltz of the flowers (I think you'll be familiar with this one once you reach the 2 minute mark.)

Hi, Angus! Thanks!

If you guys are looking for a specific book, let me know. :) My bookstore might have a stock on whatever it is you're looking for.

[Paulina]

Hi guys, I'm Paulina. I'm fairly new to reading books. Just started this year, and apparently I became addicted. I've always wanted to read books, pero walang time. Now, I'm so glad I finally decided to give it a try. Sobrang saya pala magbasa ng mga novels. Its way better than watching movies, I think. Anyways, I joined this group to meet people with passion for reading. I don't have any genre preferences yet. But I'm very much hooked with George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire, but I also read mostly whatever I see in the National Bookstore. Pag medyo na ooverwhelm na ako kay George R.R. Martin. :) Anyway, nice to meet you all :)

[GenovaGee]

Hi Paulina, welcome sa group. Try mo books ni Brandon Sanderson. ;)

[Angus]

Hi Paulina, yay! We're so happy that you discovered the joy of reading. Late bloomer din ako. It's never too late. ;)

[Paulina]

hi Genova, thanks :) Sige try ko

[Knight]

hi paulina i think we're on the same fandom Ll :D

[Glenda]

Hiiii! I'm Glenda, 18. I've been reading for 3 years and I'm so thankful for E.L. James for making me fall in love with books. I joined goodreads to keep count of the books i've read and look for more books to add to my list! Jennifer Armentrout is my favorite writer at the moment. I have a major dilemma choosing between bdsm and dystopian as my favorite genre. But anyway I can read anything. I can't seem to stop reading kasi. Kaya after finishing a book, I need to have my next pick on the line. Ganun ako ka-addict hahaha. I hope to find more friends here since lahat tayo bookworms; we all have something in common. Hehe nice to meet you guys!!!!

[Jared]

Hello!
Magandang Gabi sa inyong lahat - currently 9:45 pm - haha!
Ako nga pala si Jared. Maari niyo akong tawagin Red pero wag niyo na tagalugin yun
So yun ah anu pa?
Mahilig ako sa mga supernatural novels/manga.
Nahiya naman ako sa mga maraming nasabi- haha!
Pero sana maging ka-close ko kayo lahat.
Damn sarap mag tagalog knowing na maraming makakaintindi sayo.

Add me! Di ako nangangagat!

[Ranee]

Hi! Hope everyone is dry and away from flooded areas (well, hopefully, the flood had subsided your part of the metro)
So many newbies! Hope to get to meet you in one of our face to face book discussions/meet ups!
Genovagee, do you listen to music while reading or do you find it difficult to listen and read at the same time?
Paulina, i dropped reading a song of ice and fire's first book. i told myself that I would read it again once the whole series is completed.
Glenda, just curious, ever encountered a dystopian bdsm book?
Jared, can't help but stalk into your profile. Neuro and Cardio, I love those but Surgery the most.

[Jared]

Hello Ranee!
Can't help but to stalk you back haha!
I wanted to be a surgery of any of those two. Haha.
Are you a medical doctor now? :)

[Glenda]

Hi ranee! Oh wow, not yet! Pero shit I want to read one. I'm looking for one right now! Hahaha!
