![]() ![]() I hope this book could positively change more of us soon. Almost without my knowledge, it challenged my perceptions and even made me more proactive with the way I go through life. ![]() For me, it is one of the contemporary classics in the world of Filipino books, because the lessons it ingeniously tells about school and life are timeless. I think Filipinos need to read more books like this. I highly recommend this book to anyone who reads. Pala Ako (Mga Kwentong Chalk Ni Bob Ong) is a humor autobiography novel published in 2001 by Roberto Ong also known as Bob Ong. He presents his reflections in a witty - even funny - way that readers will be charmed and convinced rather than bored. The author uses his experiences in school as grounds and examples for the lessons he learned in life. But most significant about this book is that it offers subtle reflections that could leave a large impact on the readers. What's more, this work is filled with amazing wit, with hints of poignant sentiments. He writes in 'TagLish' (a combination of Tagalog and English), and in a conversational way, making this piece easy to read for the average Pinoy. They are basically the author's own school experiences from first grade mishaps to 'college-hopping', but we can undoubtedly relate with them.īob Ong's story-telling is really good, as far as this book shows. In this book by Bob Ong, those memories are cleverly captured with " mga kwentong chalk" ('chalk stories'). ![]() We may even reflect on what we learned in the classroom and in life. We may laugh, cry, or cringe when we look back at those memories now. Most of us have memories of our past school days. ![]() The Sinful Seven by Jason Kirk6/10/2023 ![]() ![]() “How do students, devoted to study, find either the time or the money to stage so costly a performance?” “What relation has this astonishing athletic display to the work of an intellectual agency like a university?” When the visitor from the European university has pondered the matter, he comes to his American university colleagues with two questions: ![]() ![]() At the end, the vast majority of the onlookers only know, like old Kaspar of Blenheim, that” ‘twas a famous victory” for one university or the other. He is the more mystified when he discovers that of the thousands of onlookers, not one in a hundred understands the game or can follow the strategy. On a crisp November afternoon he finds many thousands of men and women, gathered in a great amphitheater, wildly cheering a group of athletes who are described to him as playing a game of football, but who seem to be engaged in a battle. Nothing in the educational regime of our higher institutions perplexes the European visitor so much as the role that organized athletics play. ![]() The divine comedy mandelbaum6/9/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() Tracking delivery Saver Delivery: Australia postĪustralia Post deliveries can be tracked on route with eParcel.

Then and there, she promised herself to only read what books she already had, for one year. ![]() I’m not the only one guilty of this–talented and successful author Susan Hill (whom you may know as the author of The Woman in Black, which was then made into the movie starring Harry Potter) went on a hunt through her house one day, attempting to locate one book, and came across several others, long forgotten, instead. As I do, I know I will come across several titles that I think, “Why haven’t I read that yet?” or “Why am I still hanging on to this?” And then I’ll toss the books into their respective boxes and dutifully lug them to my new home, unpack them, and completely forget about them for another year or so. In less than a month, I will be moving to a new place, and so will be packing up about 20 boxes of books. ![]() Dear Mr. President by Jaelyn Storm6/8/2023 ![]() ![]()
The life and death of vivek oji6/8/2023 ![]() ![]() Mary Richards is a writer, illustrator and publisher. While being careful, remember to touch, handle and feel run, jump and play! -Mary Richards Inspect plants, bugs, clouds, shells or trees, to learn about the natural world-why not create a collage with the objects you collect? Outdoors, you will explore with all your senses. Observe closely and make detailed notes on where you've been and what you've spotted. ![]() Some quick outdoor learning tips? Keep a log of activities. I learned that, back in the 19th century, Charles Darwin would stroll daily along a "thinking path" near his home to sift through his ideas young paleontologist Mary Anning discovered fossils and bones along her local beach and Susan Fenimore Cooper's nature writing documented in precise detail the countryside she loved.Īll this fed into Take Me Outdoors, which I hope will inspire parents, teachers and kids to go on some exciting expeditions. While writing Take Me Outdoors-a children's nature journal filled with facts, prompts and space to record adventures-I researched many artists, writers and explorers. Move learning outdoors, and you'll give children time and space to look at the world in a different way. The same can be applied to the classroom. ![]() As a writer, I'm conscious that ideas often come to me while I'm walking around the block, not while sitting at the computer. A daily walk is a chance to allow the mind, as well as the legs, to wander. During this pandemic, we've all learned that fresh air is important for our mental health and well-being. ![]() Eyes of Fire by Heather Graham6/8/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() Though time and pressure had blown out the master’s cabin window of the Beldona, the ship was down deep enough that the sun’s rays offered little light inside. This skeleton lay by the side of the desk, shadowed in darkness. Anemones rose against the rotted core of an inkwell.Īnother skeleton startled him into a weightless jump. The diver moved closer, then pulled back, the sound of his own breathing loud in his ears as a moray eel suddenly shot its head out from one of the cubicles in the growth-encrusted shelving. To be picked up and wielded in some form of ghostly revenge.īut this one shouted silently of his own murder.Ī tiny yellow fish, a tang, darted in and out of the cavernous eye sockets of the long-dead man. Now the sword lay on the handsomely carved desk where the pieces of the dead man remained, side by side with the small bones of what had been a human hand, almost as if it was waiting to be used again. Perhaps it had once pierced through him, through flesh and sinew and organs perhaps it had once been bathed in blood. The sword that had probably brought about his death lay at his side. Their skeletal remains lay about eerily, some held together by remnants of rusted armor, one with its head uncannily perched on a bookcase while the disjointed body sat on the desk beneath it. ![]() Yet these dead men seemed somehow to cry out in silence, noiselessly shrieking out a story that had been kept secret for nearly four hundred years. ![]() The hero of ages6/7/2023 ![]() ![]() This changed when an eighth grade teacher gave him Dragonsbane by Barbara Hambly.īrandon was working on his thirteenth novel when Moshe Feder at Tor Books bought the sixth he had written. ![]() As a child Brandon enjoyed reading, but he lost interest in the types of titles often suggested to him, and by junior high he never cracked a book if he could help it.
