Buti ikaw 2 years ago. Ako nung 90's pa. Kaya medyo nahirapan sagutin ng lubos ang mga tanong ni KD dahil memory lang inaasahan ko. :P

[K.D.]

Si Jzhun, noong elementary pa nya. First novel nya ito. Habang nagbi-birdy (Wharton di ba, Jzhun?)

Haha! :D

Noong third year high school ko pa binasa una yong The Hobbit (based on the recommendation of our librarian), then The Lord of the Rings trilogy. Now that was almost a decade ago. I didn't knew that I still remember some of it until now. Oh!

[K.D.]

Ikaw na ang high school fan ni Tolkien.

Third year high ang binabasa ko ay Lolita ni Nabokov. Hindi dahil sa literary na ako pero dahil hinanap ko bakit banned daw because of its sexual or adult theme. Ako na ang ma-L at ikaw ang ma-M (matalino)!!!

[Angus]

Thanks Celina! See you soon! :D

Ako naman nung third year HS si Danielle Steel ang binabasa ko. Ako na ang ma-ML (malandi)!

[Maria]

2nd year high school, i was reading Nancy Drew series. :)

Buti nga umabot pa ng high school hak hak.

Angus, ikaw na ang ma-ML, ako na ang ang ma-JL O_o Nyek. #Mahiritlng

Anyway, I'm confirming my attendance for Maria's LOTR F2F, not joining the archery though :) pwede ba manood nlng sa mga archers?

Maria, pwede ba maextend yung deadline sa verse? :)

[AennA]

I'm confirming my attendance on the upcoming F2F, tho' I'm not confirming my participation sa discussion. In other words, may I observe na lang din muna ako. May struggle pa ako with the ring, since hindi kasi ako ang chosen one. (And I'll be late too.)

Also, I might be tagging someone along, para mag-observe lang din. Hindi pa kasi nya din nababasa yung book. :D

And! I'm interested sa archery! But, tignan ko muna kung paano gawin yan, kasi baka masayang yung 600 kung di ko naman makakaya.

[Ayban]

Confirm na rin ako, punta ako, namiss ko na ang TFG peeps.

[K.D.]

If I know, isa lang ang nami-miss mo hak hak.

[Maria Ella]

KD walang basagan ng trip. Hahaha. Yey to Ayban!!! :)

[K.D.]

Ikaw na Ayban ang mga lady lawyer. hak hak

Ella, have you bought a copy of "In Cold Blood"? I saw one at BS Harrison yesterday. I bought it for P115. You have the right of first refusal. Otherwise, I'll sell it to anyone na gustong makatipid. P560 yata yong brand new sa NBS Bestsellers Robinson Galleria.

[Maria Ella]

I've got my ebook. But i want that book. I shall buy that from you. Gamit ang utang ni ingrid sakin. HI INGRID. ALAM NA!!! Kapalit ng book ni KD ang kwentillion mag mo na nasakin. :)

[K.D.]

Sige, when are you planning to get it from me?

[Ingrid]

Hi Ella, mag-aattend ako para makapagbayad na ako, haha
Habol lang ako, may lakad ako sa morning, di talaga pwedeng takasan
:(

[Maria Ella]

Sa LOTR discussion po. :) let us settle this after the discussion. Yey! :)

[K.D.]

Ok. :)

[Tricia]

TO MORDOR! Ano ba yan, ngayon ko lang nakita tong thread. Sobrang late ko na lol

Anyway, I confirm going to Mordor! Yung sa archery, not sure pa. Depende kung maganda ang pay sa 15 :P

[Nico]

Hi guys.. Im a new member, would i be eligible to come and join this event? hehe.. :)

[Apokripos]

Nico wrote: "Hi guys.. Im a new member, would i be eligible to come and join this event? hehe.. :)"

Of course, members of this group are invited (more so encouraged) to attend and participate (by reading the book and in the discussion proper) of the monthly face-to-face book discussion.

Do come Nico and you can also tag a friend along. ;)

[Angus]

Hi Nico, everyone is welcome as our resident Tolkienist mentioned. Iaadd na kita sa confirmed ha? Seeya! :D

[DC]

Hi! Just FYI- I might be bringing some *female* friends along with me to the discussion (not one, not three, but two friends -- if they both confirm). I'll let you know ASAP. (Maybe within the week? If not, early next week.)

So far, all systems *seem* go for me for June 23, but I'll still leave it at maybe, just to be sure.

If ever I'll be attending, I'd like to have a go at the archery gig too :)

[Tina]

DC -- I think I know one of your friends. Well, not personally, but apparently she's a friend of another friend. :D

[Angus]

DC, please define maraming commitments? Hahaha!

Maria: Cge, when I see another copy, I'll buy for you.

Dami na nga! Record holder ang F2F4 Jane Eyre at 28. Ma-break kaya? Sana! :) Tsaka sana, bawasan ang observers. Lalo na't maganda naman ang book tsaka madaling hanapin. May time pa naman para mabasa. 2 weeks pa, kayang-kaya yan. :)

Actually, may 2nd copy pala ako nitong Book 1. Yong wala pa, pede kong ipahiram yong mass paperback ko. Let me know.

[Tricia]

Wait, winner na ang In Cold Blood? Pwede din bang magpahanap? Hiram nalang? :P

BTW, I read the first book within 1week. Kayang-kaya yan kahit working ka pa. Saka magandang maexperience as a reader ang high fantasy na to. Yay. May archery pa tayo!

It's not so much the commitments as much as it is about me giving my final word. Gusto ko lang na super-sure ako 'pag sinabi ko na sigurado akong pupunta :D

Basta pupunta ka sa 23, gora lang sa pagsend ng verse sa aken. :)

I accept even a line or two from a song, kahit hindi verse (or stanza). What's important is related sa past nyo ung line/verse nung song na un.

Parang mga hobbits lang tayo na if they want to reminisce things from the past, they sing songs. :)

Trivia: 1 guy and 1 girl choose the same verse from the same song. Sinech itech?!!! hahaha!

O baka naman, sila na talaga! Di lang natin alam. Aminin!!!

Tapos pala kami ni Veronica yon! Ha ha. Sabi naman kasi "1 guy and 1 girl" eh may Miss naman ang name ni Veronica para maging girl lang hak hak. So, hindi kami yon!!! Hay, sino kaya sila????

[Maria]

Let's just say ung girl ay may babasagin na love team kasi may pina-patner na tayo sa guy dito. :) Wahahaha!
