Through the Eyes of Anne: Revisiting the Girl from Green Gables
Submitted by ruth_mostrales on August 16, 2008 - 8:44pm. English | Fiction Review | Coping Mechanisms in Children | Self-actualizationAnne is an orphan girl who found for herself a home in Green Gables and in the hearts of the people of Avonlea. For a girl who has lived most of her young life in an orphanage, she considers Avonlea a paradise and a haven for her unbridled thoughts.

A world gone with the wind
Submitted by adaengkantada on July 28, 2008 - 10:17pm. English | Fiction ReviewI was in fourth-year high school when I got hold of a copy of Gone with the Wind. I barely knew anything about the book except that there was a series playing on TV with the same title. What I remembered, though, was the infamous line uttered by the dashing Rhett Butler, “Frankly, my dear, I don’t give a damn.”

| I learned about this book way back in April 2004 when I was in Thailand for a short trip. I had the chance to read its review in the film review section of a newspaper. I was really excited to grab a copy of it. When I arrived Singapore (as my final destination) I immediately purchased it from the bookstore! |

| This is how a sports book should be written -- engaging and doesn't let you go from the get-go. I was fortunate not to know what exactly happened -- although I had an inkling -- so to me, the book was very suspenseful. It's the story of three top middle-distance runner in the 1950's who had very different personalities and circumstances but similar goals -- the first to run the mile in less than four minutes, and also to beat one another. |

Chasing Cars - the postscript

A fishbone had been stuck somewhere in between my pharynx and epiglottis, so I guess. it has been there for two days now and it’s so awful to imagine swallowing eternally rice balls for a cure. (At least you’ll gain a few pounds for that-Mr. Standard). I couldn’t bear so much of the chewing but for the pain of gulping down because of that little fishbone which surreptitiously entered my system.
Of Kill Bill and the Aviatrix
Submitted by ebudae88 on January 13, 2007 - 8:14pm. English | Comics/Graphic Lit ReviewIf I start to hear rhythmic whistling in my ears as if in a hiatus of moment in Kill Bill where in a split of second the tendering slices of the samurai upon unnamed and unheard antagonists spurts out splashes of the red ink on cam in an endless bloodbath, I also try to find ways to live out an addiction of inexplicable wandering. I try to burden my back with my bulky mailbag and sore the toes of my feet with this striding-along-addiction with a matter of miles in mind to and from points of departure and arrival. (Weird for you, normal for a natural weirdo.)
