Eunice > Status Update

Yay Eunice! :)

Ha! I'm currently having a problem with this right now. I don't know if I'd be able to go since the event is sponsored by a particular book store and one of the requirements is that the book has to be bought (on or before the event) in that store. I didn't buy mine there though. Soooo, I don't know if they'd let me. *sigh* :(

Why are awesome people will only be at MNL, huh? They have fans in CEBU! HAHAHA. So unfair, and seeing the HUGE tarp at SM Cebu makes me want to jump off the bridge! I think pwede lang if fullybooked. Would they know ba? If so, screw them and shove it at the author's face to have it signed. Nyahahahahahahaa. :p

Go book a flight now, Anna! Hahaha! Kaya nga. I hope they'll let me! I'll cry and beg in front of them! Lol. Alangan naman na bumili ulit ako ng bago. Halaaaaa... :(

I wish it were that easy, Eunice. Haaay. Kasalanan mo ba na mas updated and FB than Natio. Hmm? HAHA. They will surely let you.

I'm going tomorrow. Yes, kailangan binili mo siya sa NBS, Powebooks & Bestsellers - http://www.facebook.com/pages/Nationa...

Darn it!

I could just tell them it was a gift from a friend. Haha! Or that I've already made a pre-order to Book Depository before I learned of the event. Hahahah! Sana hindi sila mahigpit. Yung book mo ba may sign or anything that indicate that it was bought in the said book stores?

You're from Cebu? Sayang naman. I'm so glad I bought my copies sa NBS, mas mura kasi ang books sa NBS compare to FB.

YES. (hangs head) I really liked buying at FB, also because I have a discount card. Nyahahaha. But it takes some time for the books to arrive at the store as it will be ordered from other branches. I really want to visit the Fort branch!

Yep, I kept my receipt for UM but I never removed the tag price for my books kasi. May pagka-OCD kasi ako. ;)

Malaki ba ang discount? FB has wider selection but I make sure that I checked NBS first bago bumili sa FB. Minsan kahit available sa FB bumili ba pa rin ako sa book depository kasi super mahal niya dito.

I heard yun daw ang pinakamalaking branch nila.

I was there a while ago with my friend! Tambay sa Starbucks. Haha! It's one of their biggest branch, I think. But you have to see the Cubao branch too when you go to Manila. You'll love their floor tiles! Haha! :D

Ooh, I'll just remove the price tag nung akin then tell them that it was a gift. Hahaha! NBS and FB have the same price for Unravel Me, but yeah, most of the time it's cheaper in NBS.

10% disc. Ako rin, I also check natio first kasi nga mas mura. How to do Book Depository? I'm very curious yet at the same time scared? Haha. Diba it's a shipping thing?

Oo, pinakamali. Like isang building talaga and 3 stories high. Haaaaaay.

Haha, if there's a will there's a way! Go Eunice! Bumili kasi ako nung bagong cover ng Shatter Me and I only got it for 299 compare to FB's 349...ata. But yeah, books are cheaper sa NBS, no?

The floor tiles.. okay. hahahaha. Basta one of my greatest wish is to tour all FB branches. Waaaaaaa.. :D

Yep. You'll pay through credit card sa Book Depository. I haven't tried there though since wala ako credit card.

Yes, it's 3 stories high. There's a Starbucks on the 2nd flr. And some open area on the roof top. Let's go there when you visit Manila! :)

Wow, that's huge. Gusto ko na rin tuloy puntahan. Regular kasi ako sa Cubao (yep the floor tiles are awesome). Just sign up, order (you can pay it through credit card or para mas safe paypal), and wait 2-3 weeks for my books to arrive. Yep, shipping siya pero free unlike Amazon na kasing mahal ng book yung shipping fee. Scared din ako noong una kasi nga what if hindi dumating...so far walang namang nabitin na orders. All of them arrived naman. ;)

@Mitchi: Haha! Oo, kaya yan! Ang sama naman nila pag di nila ako pinyagan. Lol! Yep. Konting hintay hintay lang kapag NBS. Mas una lagi mag update yung FB e. Hehe. Pero mas mura naman talga. :)

@Anna: Haha! Have you seen the floor tiles of FB in Cubao. I would love to have those in my room. Nyhahaha! :D

Eunice wrote: " Let's go there when you visit Manila! :) "

Dude, that's a date. You're willing naman to wait a long time for me, diba? :* I keep seeing pics and occasional vids of the store and I can't help but sigh. It looks gorgeous. I-inform kita for sure if I plan to go. I feel excited na tuloooooy. :D

@Anna: Suuuure! Haha! Na-excite din tuloy ako. Yep, message me if punta ka dito so we could arrange a meet-up! Sama ka Mitchi! Hehe. I'll bring Karla too. Haha. :)

Mitchii wrote: "so far walang namang nabitin na orders. All of them arrived naman. ;) "

Buti naman. Takot ako ng mag hoax and lalo na thru net. Not really confident about it. I'll try to check it out nga. And yes, Amazon is mahal. Like pang US type of amount ang books kahit i.convert mo. Haay. How often do you buy at BD?

Eunice wrote: "@Anna: Haha! Have you seen the floor tiles of FB in Cubao. I would love to have those in my room. Nyhahaha! :D "

Dude, send pics. Hahaha. Now I'm curious over this infamous floor tiles.

Eunice wrote: "@Anna: Suuuure! Haha! Na-excite din tuloy ako. Yep, message me if punta ka dito so we could arrange a meet-up! Sama ka Mitchi! Hehe. I'll bring Karla too. Haha. :)"

Definitely looking forward to it! If only IRL is not getting my way of things. :)

Hi. I think I saw my name somewhere here. hehe. I'll see at the event tomorrow Eunice! :)

@Anna: Bookdepo is the most convenient way into buying international copies of book and they're reliable. They have that tracking device thing on their site if your order didn't come to you on time. :)

Karla Mae wrote: "@Anna: Bookdepo is the most convenient way into buying international copies of book and they're reliable. ..."

Do you also buy your books there? I think tracking is pretty cool, and techy. :)

Yup. It was convenient and a bit cheaper than store bought books here and some are even discounted plus their delivery is free. Yay for that! :))

It seems that I am pretty convinced that it is great. I watch a lot of book vloggers and they also mention they get their books either at their convenient bookstore or BD. So it's legit. Thanks, Karla! :)

@Eunice: Sure, just holler whenever you guys are ready. ;) Btw just came home, so how was it? Napa-sign mo ba?

@Anna: Tried and tested na ang BD. Madalas ako magorder sa kanila actually meron akong order na hinihintay. ;)

Mitch, I checked the site and gusto ko na tuloy mag order! Meron rin silang new release. I LIKE! Napa-sign mo ang books mo? :)

Try it, Anna. I told you minsan mas mura pa nga sa BD kesa sa Pinas. Then free pa ang shipping. Ang cool di ba?

Yep, she is so pretty, funny, and down to earth. Worth the long wait. We also got the chance to meet Ransom Riggs. Totally unexpected to see two authors. *still starstruck*

WOW! Ransom Riggs. He's a friend of John Green. Waaaaa! Lucky you! Dami ba tao? Hindi pa talaga ako naka experience ng meet-the-author coz they're always only be in MNL. Did you get a picture?? :D

They had me at free shipping. Super cool! Sige, I'll tell you if I'll try it. :)

Ooh! I just saw this. Mitchi, yep na pa sign ko pero bumili pa ko ng Shatter Me dun. Kasi they check the bar code, something with the numbers ata and they'll know if it was purchased in NBS nga. So sabi nung girl bili nalang daw ako so they can give me the sticker with the number. Haha! Kaya ayun bigla akong napagastos. Buti discounted. Anyhooo, super worth it naman! :DD
