    saw this on Manila Bulletin

    Pretty interesting. I haven’t done my research though. Will update. Might be a good alternative to Newfield International.

    book find – Do I dust or vacuum first?

    0

    When I do get married in the future, my spouse should understand that I will do all the cleaning in the house, but the kitchen duties I leave to him.

    I love love the branch of Book Sale in Makati Cinema Square. I always find an interesting magazine or book in their shelves that I won’t find in their other branches. Drei got a rare programming book, and I got my fill of DIY/Interior Design magazines/books.

    Now you know what other things they sell in MCS aside from pirated dibidis hehe.

    call to action by bryan eisenberg

    I was talking to my boss today when the topic of books came up, and like every girl who likes to shop (oh sorry, this is about books, not SHOOOES!), I asked him what books he’d recommend. 2 authors: Seth Godin, and Bryan Eisenberg.

    I read about Bryan Eisenberg while browsing this certain site and almost died last night because his book cost $150 – which was apparently a mistake on the part of Amazon because tonight, it went down to $15. hahaha. Bryan Eisenberg.. CHECK!

    from the mouth of my boss, “pede mong sampalin boss mo kapag natapos mo basahin yang librong yan..” nyahahha. sha kaya yon.

    Next author? Seth Godin.

    all marketers are liars by seth godin

    So Seth Godin has a bunch of books available at Amazon under marketing. This includes “The Dip” as well as “Purple Cow: Transform your business by being Remarkable,” and “Small Is the New Big: and 183 Other Riffs, Rants, and Remarkable Business Ideas”. People think he’s a genius and his books seem interesting. The first line of his book, “All marketers are liars…” start off with…

    “I have no intention of telling you the truth”

    I suppose you’re convinced.

    All books are available at Amazon but since I had no access to the site, I decided to check Powerbooks – they had a Seth Godin book but not the one here.

    persuasive online copywriting by bryan eisenberg

    After wiping drool off the side of my mouth, (the prices were pretty cheap, but had no way of sending them down here, and its scary – the Philippines being a high risk country), he showed me another site that sells summaries of books. Pretty neat idea for busy people – though I haven’t tried buying one yet.

    I admit, I still have a load of books on my bedroom floor that I haven’t touched in months because I couldn’t make time to read. But I’m really trying to change all that by reading this book my boss lent me, and you gotta be proud, I’m down to chapter 7!

    Don’t you ever get that overwhelming feeling when you hold a new book? (hey, a book you really want okay!) A shiver of excitement runs down my back, and my eyes shine just a tad brighter, and icantcontainmyselfijusthavetoreaditreaditreadit! Yes. I’m weird like that. Gaad. I miss reading.
