So I saw this bookish-inspired Christmas tree at Holiday Inn Makati, and I couldn’t help but take photos and videos.
It’s absolutely beautiful! Something I’ve always dreamed of seeing.

Salute to the décor team for bringing this to life. It truly made my day. 🎄📚

Halfway through this book 📖

My library card has become one of my favorite little things, it lets me borrow and read books for free, which still feels a bit magical. Since I have to return them every two weeks, it pushes me to actually finish them on time. Two books a month might not sound like much, but for me, it’s something I’m really proud of. With work taking up most of my days, finding time to read feels like a quiet luxury, a small way to slow down and enjoy something just for myself. 🤎

Visit nyo sa Makati, pwede kayo magbasa ng books, mag exchange ng books, tumambay, makipaglaro sa mga pusa, maglaro sa bagong playground, mag picnic, maghabulan, kumain or simpleng mag muni-muni lang.

If you're from Makati or nearby, please visit this beautiful hidden library. It's my go-to place every weekend — so cozy and inviting. It reminds me of my library visits in Mackay, Australia, where my sister once left me there for a day while she was at work, and I didn’t mind at all!
My soul yearns for more library visits, and I would love to explore and discover new ones. Do you have any library recommendations? 📚📚📚

Umberto Eco, who owned 50,000 books, had this to say about home libraries:
"It is foolish to think that you have to read all the books you buy, as it is foolish to criticize those who buy more books than they will ever be able to read. It would be like saying that you should use all the cutlery or glasses or screwdrivers or drill bits you bought before buying new ones.
"There are things in life that we need to always have plenty of supplies, even if we will only use a small portion.
"If, for example, we consider books as medicine, we understand that it is good to have many at home rather than a few: when you want to feel better, then you go to the 'medicine closet' and choose a book. Not a random one, but the right book for that moment. That's why you should always have a nutrition choice!
"Those who buy only one book, read only that one and then get rid of it. They simply apply the consumer mentality to books, that is, they consider them a consumer product, a good. Those who love books know that a book is anything but a commodity."
