Poetry from Prose: Book Spine


Suddenly... Book Spine Poetry!

I've often seen some of these and always laughed and smiled and grinned! I never thought I could join in on the bandwagon. But I did! And my friends from the Davao Reader's Circle are doing this bit too! You should go check out the posts by Nephithyrion (Julienne) and Eat Ur Banana (Cham) because their posts are pretty superb :D

So here goes mine... (yeah, there's quite a bunch of bookmarks in those books LOL!)

Hippolyte's Island... 
the island of the day before!
One hundred years of solitude:
Bliss. 


***



A suitable boy,
the groom to have been.
Waiting.
Never let me go.

While I was photographing these I was laughing! So this is ALL what it takes to become an award-winning and critically acclaimed poet? Hahaha, just kidding!

It's raining out and I had a fun time with my books :D

Schoolgirl by Osamu Dazai: Melancholic Contemplation

Arriving all the way from USA, I had a tiny traveler plop down right in front of my desk. The moment I held the book, I immediately focused long and hard on the book cover. I've had my small share of contemporary Japanese novels and each had very interesting designs, but not one is as gently arresting as this Schoolgirl by Osamu Dazai published by One Peace Books . Soft yet stark. I'm not one to judge a book by its cover, but it certainly is a good way to hold the interest of the readers. A closer look at the cover would remind one of things that are "beautiful in its simplicity". Everybody knows the Japanese aesthetics, a "set of ancient ideals that include wabi (transient and stark beauty), sabi (the beauty of natural patina and aging), and yûgen (profound grace and subtlety). * " Reflecting at these values, it's wonderful to observe how the cover follows the flow of wabi and yugen, isn't it?

Books in the Mail: HarperCollins Stash for August-September

I've just about settled here in Manila, yet my address is giving me a headache. I've only been used to a residential address, not a condominium unit number so I'm always worried about lost mail. I didn't think that my Harper Collins books would find its way to me. Until one fine morning: I was absolutely crazy happy. I have very little faith in Manila postal offices due to horrendous reports of misdirected mail, opening of packages, and even high taxation of mailed goods which is so ridiculous #thirdworldproblems and all that.

Here are the books I received from several months' worth: I am an avid fan of Harper Collins, even before they noticed me and my blog.

VOV Castledew Eyeshadow Palette

I've always wanted an eyeshadow palette though I'm not sure if eyeshadows are my thing. I just love Castledew because it's so princessy and shiny and jewel-like and perfect. A Castle dew eyeshadow palette in all its shiny pretty glory! This is available in the La Core stall (korean beauty shop). Every time I passed by their stall, I always ask to view the palette and I always jump up and down in delight when I see it. Now I have it! MUAHAHAHA! I'll try to play around with the colors! See you!
