i wander

When I take the MRT in the morning, I am the only female person that opts to read a book. A plethora of women would comb their hair and do their make-up (a feat i cannot begin to fathom). There would be random sightings of other women reading mills and boons and similar trashy novels and the "Purpose Driven Life." At one point and perhaps until now, this book is the automatic gift-giving choice of the regular Filipino. I have not read this book and do not have the smallest desire to read it. This book is tantamount to that gnome in Amelie, it is everywhere! Well at least in the Philippines and whereever Filipinos go, which is pretty much, everywhere!.
