Mina

Mina... the famous mistress of Dracula. In Bram Stoker's Dracula it was told base on the dairy of Jonathan or journal of Mina's finance and eventually became her husband nearing the end of the novel. In this Novel, it starts in the journal of Mina when they were in pursuit in destroying Dracula in his castle in Transylvania. Among the pages of this book the readers will experience the emotions of Mina.

In the middle of the story, Mina rights in her journal on how she was still haunted by the memory of Dracula. How her relationship/marrige to Jonathan has been distorted because of her desires for carnal cravings. The book solely tells what happened to Mina after where Stoker left. In her quest in learning the truth about Dracula and in the end, she made a decision a decision that is not much of a shock.

The book is an epitome of love. A love that is distorted, confused and mixed with unquinching lust.

My day at the 30th manila book fair

Last week was the 30th Manila International Book Fair. Unlike last year there weren't much people. Compared to last year that I have bought php3000 worth of books, this year due to unfortunate events I didn't spend a single piso in the fair. However, my sister asuall bought a book from readers digest which could not be purchased in any book stores here but only at A-Z direct the official distributor of Reader's Digest her in the philippines. She bought a book about paranormal thing and since it was buy one take one... we took the wild life year book as the take one free. I don't know, i think i'm becoming to be fascinated in wildlife photography. Maybe because of someone i particularly know in Africa. Anyway, back to the book fair. It is sad that not much of book enthusiast doped by the book fair. Most of the participants and guests in the book fair are either from the educational sector (teachers and students) or owners of small time bookstores to get some contacts with book distributors. Sometimes its sad to know that because of the growing demand of the digital world people would prefer ebooks other books.

Now since i was already in Mall of Asia where the book fair was held, we side track to watch the fireworks display at the baywalk of MoA, hoping it will take away my thoughts because of what happened to my laptop. That's also one thing why i wasn't very excited over the book fair. Cos it was the same day that IBM called me and said i need php85000plus to have my laptop fixed. o.0 and where the hell am i going to find that kind of money. *sigh*

anyway.... i know its not related to this book blog of mine but i'm trying to raise some funds so that i can have my lappy fix or buy a brand new one. I am a freelance photography from the side line. So if your looking for a photographer for your event or photo shot i only charge php2000 if you want some photoshop enhancing just add php1000.
