Hey everyone! I'm William, a hopeless college senior taking up multi-media and I also do freelance web design on the side.
Most of the time I read anything that piques my interest, but I tend to lean more towards titles with existential themes and works from the Romantic Era. In my spare time I enjoy searching for obscure books and reading Philosophy for fun.
I'm relatively new to Goodreads but upon signing up I found myself inexorably hooked! My sister who is an incoming highschool sophomore loves the site as well.
Aside from reading I also enjoy listening to music, watching films and riding my bike around the city.

Hi William, welcome to the group. :)I'm an incoming senior in college too, and I hope it could be sooner. haha. GR is really addicting. Oh, and I hope I know how to ride a bike but I can't. :)
i hope i can ride a bike too..haist
@mikha, ako man! haha. But thankfully, I'm learning how to drive so the balance thing might not be the real problem for me but the fear of being injured or something like that. haha.
The first time I rode a bike my dad taught me sa ccp pa yun I drove straight into a hedge. Classic! Thanks for the warm welcome you guys are awesome :)
Hi guys!I'm Dianne, 23 years old, a registered nurse. I've always wanted to sign up in GR but have been too busy--until now, that is.
After I had a major episode of quarterlife crisis, I shocked everyone by resigning from my hospital job and announcing that I was going back to school... to pursue the career I truly wanted. God knows how misplaced I felt when I was working.=/
All that happened just last week. O diba, ang bilis ng pangyayari, parang Dan Brown novel! Well, Leisure Time has been an estranged friend of mine. So when I realized that I actually have a lot of it in my hands before the opening of the school year this June, I decided to catch up on my reading.
I read pretty much anything but my heart has a special spot for mystery thrillers, historical fiction, graphic novels and sci fi. How did I come to enjoy reading? Simple: I lucked out: my mother's a librarian. :-) And since we didn't have a TV set when I was a kid, my only form of entertainment were the books my mother would bring home for me.
Outside of books, I play the bass guitar and eat (a lot!).
Nakakatuwa na may Pinoy group dito. Salamat po sa opportunity na makasali sa 'Filipinos' Group! :D
Hi! :) I'm Jenny, I'm William's younger sister and I'm also new to GoodReads. My brother said that everyone in the Filipinos group is really nice so I wanted to join too!I love to read, whenever and wherever. I finished the whole Nancy Drew series (64 of them!) when I was 13, hehe. I'm into thrillers (John Grisham's), prolly because of watching too much CSI. And I love classics! I also like to read chick-lit and books for young adults. Now, though, I'm trying different genres and exploring the ginormous world of books. :D
Apart from reading, I also like to dance and going on roadtrips. :)

@Mikha, that's ok, hs ka pa lang pala, eh ako senior in college na. You still have lots of time to learn how to drive. :)
Wow Dianne! And I thought inimbento ko lang ang quarterlife crisis, hehe. Welcome! Pati rin kina William at Jenny. :)
Welcome newbies! @William: You ride a bike, as in bicycle or motorcycle?
