Po, hindi naman halata na Murakami fan ka :) i need to start reading his works na.

[[deleted user]]

Po, love ko din si Murakami. 2000-2004 was my Murakami phase. Must read his books again this year. Haven't read Kafka on the Shore and Norwegian Wood yet. I'll start with those.

I love Dance Dance Dance and Kafka on the Shore!

[[deleted user]]

It is indeed cool to find fellow Filipinos for a site like this. A lot of good books posted and some are hard to find here in the Philippines. Keep on reading.

Hi sa mga Newbies!

[purplemunchkim]

Hello! Name is Kim. Not exactly recently new just my first time to post a comment here.

I'm not sure how to describe myself except I love to read. I just wish I have more time to do so and more money to buy more. LOL!

Books I like? It's hard to say. I hate choosing. There's always something in every book that I find special no matter the flaws. I read all books I find interesting and books suggested by people and friends when I have no idea what to read.

Right now I have a list of "to-read" list that keeps on piling up. It's like for every book I finish reading, I add 5 or 10 books in it. so many books and I'm only one

Anyway, I was thinking of reading all comments here so I could read others personal introductions but there were so many conversations I got lost. Hahaha!

Nice to meet you all. ^_^

[K]

Hi Kim. Not having enough money to buy books? That is a cross we must all bear :)

Hi Ranee! I'm currently reading "Pinball, 1973". I'm actually done reading Hear the Wind Sing, A Wild Sheep Chase and Dance Dance Dance. And yeah, I read the Rat Trilogy/Series out of order. :))

LOL! I don't exactly like talking. But I do talk a lot for things I am passionate about. And well, since it's an Introduction thread, I thought I should add something more than a simple Hello. ^_^

And thank you for all the welcomes! ^_^

[Ingrid]

Hello and Welcome po!

KIM: Welcome to our group! I want to be your friend too! (More likely, be your uncle-friend siguro ha ha)

Dra. Ranee: Yes, Naermyth is great. I think I gave 4 stars to it!

Hi Kate! Welcome to our group! Hope you can join the 5th Meet Up next month!

[Alibiserver]

^^ you gave it three stars. I read Naermyth but didn't finish it because I lost the buch!

[K.D.]

Okay. 3 stars because I liked it!
I should have given it 4 stars. Hmmm.

kuya doni july 29 is friday? july 30 is saturday? which is which?

[K.D.]

Sorry. Wrong Date. Typo. Should be July 23.

Charles! Now I remember you. When I saw your profile and complete name in the friend invite. I still remember your old avatar.

I became Jzhun's co-moderator last year. Marco became busy with his studies and Jzhun needed a partner. Marco did not object. So, here I am.

I still remember that Marco used the following criteria in order to determine who should be his co-moderator: # of messages posted and # of books.

Check these two criteria. I topped both of them ha ha. Wala lang. Adik ako sa GR. Wala na ngang time may FB and Tumblr. :)

WELCOME BACK and hope you can be active again. When I joined, there were around 500 members. Now we are 1,200+. We are also meeting up and the one in July will be our 5th. There have also been mini-meetups for book hunting, book swap, movie, coffee discussions, inuman, MIBF, etc. And we had an out of town trip too!

[kwesi 章英狮]

Hi Charles, welcome to GR-Filipinos and thanks for the add! Hoping you can attend the next meet-up with the rest of other GR members. Hehe.

[Ysabel Santiago]

HEY :)) Anyone here from Manila? & do you know places for Book sales? :>

[K.D.]

Ysabel: BS has many outlets in Manila: SM MOA, SM Manila, SM San Lazaro, SM Harrison Plaza and there is also one at Robinson's Place.

[K.D.]

Charles: Pakiramdam ko magiging friends kayo ni Kwesi at ni Rollie. Reason: you are all from the South and you all love the similar books! Good luck. If you are looking for friends who love to read and book hunt, join us in our July 23 meet up.

[K.D.]

Wala. Just go there and be your friendly self. Marami na kaming classic "attitudes" of a newbie. Yon bang first meetup nila. Like si Sheryl, na di nagsasalita pagpasok ng room. ha ha. O si Angus with his "pede ba akong maki-join dito" sinagot sya ni Kwesi na "hindi, hindi" ha ha

[Angus]

Wahahaha! Classic ang scene na yun. Parang nung nagmeet tayo nung June for Bookay-Ukay Book Hunt, nilapitan ko si Kwesi sa BS SM Northe Edsa, sabi ko sa kanya, Uy Kwesi, nasaan na sila (or something to that effect). Ang sagot ba naman sa akin, kilala ba kita? Muntikan na akong magtambling on the spot, haha.

[Angus]

More antipatiko than suplado, hahaha. But I'm antipatiko too, so it doesn't affect me, really. :D

[kwesi 章英狮]

Uhum! Ano yan? Haha.

[Angus]

Wala! Tsismisan lang, haha.

[kwesi 章英狮]

Haha, yun pala ang reason bakit nakagat ko dila ko kanina habang natutulog. (Pano kaya yun? Haha.)

[K.D.]

Charles, don't worry. We will take care of you. Just attend, okay?

[Maria]

wow, d kinaya ng powers ko ang scene na to :) lol, sayang Angus, dapat nga nagtambling ka nun (sabay *accidentally* kicking Kwesi). hahaha! peace, Kwesi!

[[deleted user]]

Baka mag-cameo appearance ako sa meet-up. My seminar is at Ortigas Building lang. Crossing my fingers.

[Ayban]

Hello! bago lang ako rito, at ngayon ko lang nadiskubre ang hilig ko sa pagbabasa. halos di rin ako pamilyar sa mga librong foriegn ang gusto ko munang i-explore ay ang mga libro na gawa ng kabayan natin. :)

[Apokripos]

Hello Ayban! Welcome sa Filipino Group!

Maganda ang iyong hangarin. Naway mabasa mo ang akdang Unang Ulan ng Mayo ni Ellen Sicat.

Mabuhay ka! :)

[K.D.]

Welcome, Ayban. Hope you can join us in our next meet up! :)

[Angus]

Maria: Nasa hardbound section kami nun. Buti na lang hindi ko siya hinampas sa bumbumnan, hahaha.

[kwesi 章英狮]

@Angus: Haha, baka kung nahampas mo ako nun baka buong shelf sa booksale bagsak.

[Alibiserver]

Ayban, sana'y mahalina ka sa mga akdang may katuturan. Halina't mahalina ka sa mga rebyu ng grupong ito.
