Reading List
So I was not able to attend iblog3 today. I hope I can be there tomorrow (it’s a two-day event). And here I am, stuck in our house.
I was bloghopping this morning, but there were only a few blogs that interested me so I decided to read some of the articles published in the PDI under the column Youngblood that I’ve been able to bookmark but wasn’t able to read until now because I was very busy at school. I really enjoy reading these articles. Last March, finally, I was able to finish the second Youngblood book (Youngblood 2.0), it’s an anthology of essays lifted from the column counterpart.
Now, I’m looking for the prequel of it, The Best of Youngblood. It looks like it’s not available in the market anymore. I’ve been looking for it in bookshelves, stands, and in our library. But I was not successful looking for it. My cousin reckons she have seen a copy of it in a branch of NBS somewhere in Metro Manila. Can anyone tell me where I can get a copy of it? Or if you have one, could I buy it? My cousin confirmed to me that she has seen one. And I won’t tell you where. Haha. Okay, ask me in your comments if you want to know. Lol. Youngblood is driving me insane! 
Lately, I’ve been supporting Philippine Literature. Aside from the two Youngblood books that I’ve bought, I also bought Luis Katigak’s The King of Nothing to do. It’s yet another book of essays. I’ve read two or three of his essays and it looks like it’s a great book.
Okay, enough of Youngblood. I have this book called The Prestige by Christopher Priest. It was adapted into a movie last year. But I wasn’t able to catch the movie. It’s not magic that caught my attention ((Oh, it’s not the same kind of magic that you see in Harry Potter. It’s more of a stage illusion.)). It was the amazing trailer. I love the special effects! Currently, there are less than 70 pages left that I have to read and I’m really enjoying it. I bet I would just go downtown and look for a pirated copy of the movie. The DVD of it is pricey and sorry, I’m currently broke.
Moving on, I’m targeting to finish rereading Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (and if I can, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix too) before the end of summer because — I think you already know it — this coming July, the fifth Harry Potter movie (Order of the Phoenix) and the last book in the series, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows will be released. This is surely one great July to remember! Cool isn’t it? And oh, I don’t like the cover art of the last book. How I wish Mary GrandPré, the illustrator of the US edition books has used monochromic color scheme like what she did with the last two books that were released.

Even though I’ve read an article regarding the criticisms against Ajax, I’ve still implemented it in my comments. Yeah, I’ve installed another plugin. No, not the one that posts your comment without reloading the page, the plugin that I’ve installed lets you edit your comments for a limited time without reloading the page.

How was your day? If you haven’t noticed, it’s the Friday the thirteenth today. As I don’t believe in such crap, nothing bad happened to me today! :lol!:
