the devil wears prada
a friend and i were having coffee over at abs-cbn last year, passed by a bookshop and was curious about the cover of this book and its title. the devil wears prada. the story may not be as enlightening as reading gaardner, coelho or kundera, but it’s a good and funny read if you want to break away from stress. imagine carrie bradshaw as an apprentice to an evil (yet fahionable) magazine editor who never drinks water unless it’s perrier.
while doing a search on the book cover, i discovered that they’re making a movie out of it. meryl streep plays the “devil in prada”, anne hathaway as the lead character, andrea. i wonder how this’ll turn out; i hope this will be good because streep’s in it. :P
and oh, my take on the book? i’ve also posted some of the books i’ve read in my tabulas blog. (love the service there. too bad i’ve already posted a lot in blogspot, crossposting can be a headache!)

traveling is fun on its own. what about traveling with a purpose? now that’s even better.
out of randomness, i suddenly remembered doulos, the famous floating bookstore which sailed to ports all over the world. i was able to buy cheap but nice books there, twice when it was in manila, once when it was in subic. of course, i wasn’t able to catch it while it was in cebu. they won’t be docking in the philippines this year, but i’m hoping they’ll come back sooner :)
and there’s another famous ship of good-will, the rainbow warrior, also known as the flagship of greenpeace. i’ve always dreamed of being part of this organization, but never tried joining for some weird reason. o_0 but nevertheless, i’m glad that there is such an organization that REALLY works.

a lot of people, especially narnia fans, are anticipating the movie set to be released late this year. not only that, the game version was also targeted to be released at the same time. i’m not as impressed with the game trailer, you can view it here.
