The problem is I love reading a gazillion more times than writing.

I'm currently reading:

  • A Young Girl's Diary - the young girl is anonymous unfortunately. What's sadder is that she never ever even got her 15-minutes of fame. Awwww. Anyway, I'm halfway through the story, I mean diary.
  • Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift - I've just read about 30 pages or so, haven't reached the juicy parts yet.
  • Anton Chekhov's Selected Stories (Signet Classic) - 20 short stories, roughly 275 pages, and I've read 8 stories.
  • NeGOsyo (Joey Concepcion's 50 Inspiring Entrepreneurial Stories) - the only entrepreneur's story that I remember belongs to Paolo Bediones. Jeez. Eek! I just saw Budji Laguy and Monique Lhullier's name. My hands are itching to flip through the pages already...
  • The go-girl guide by julie bourland - basically surviving the jungle of life called entering the 20s. haha!
  • life's little emergencies by Emme - I'm in the travel emergency chapter on this one.
  • Bergdorf Blondes by Plum Sykes - I've been putting this off for the longest time, but my reading list needs some variety. I'm actually thinking of buying the Gossip Girls books to devour them. Again, for reading variety. I don't know if I'll get to read the stuff though. My reading has a tendency to gravitate towards entrepreneurship, biographies, autobiographies, classics, and of course style in both fashion&interior. You see, Bergdorf Blondes isn't about fashion!
  • 2DO Before I Die by Michael Ogden and Chris Day - Subtitle says the DIY guide to the rest of your life...
That sums it up. But I'm sure there are several books lying around that I've probably forgotten to read. One of these days I'll have time to read those books-to-read-before-you-die. Those lying around are already on the wait-list. As for magazines... Don't even get me started on this one. I browse through dozens of magazines a day so my list yesterday may or may not differ from today. It's very hard to tell which I've read and which I haven't. In fact last night I was browsing through a Real Living past issue and I was really dumbstruck cos I realized I haven't even read it. I bought it, opened it, let my whole family read it, and just somehow totally forgot about it. Coolness.
