Fully-Charged

I managed to deliver a pretty good lecture last Saturday without a hot brewed coffee in my veins(my class at San Beda starts at 8 in the morning and the nearest Starbucks to my pad opens at ten). While my salary as a college professor is just enough for a cup of capuccino, I offset it by raiding our library with new books. I am currently reading a book entitled "Conversation with Marketing Gurus" and I found the inputs of Al Ries and David Aaker interesting and relevant. I had an orgasm after finishing the book. Next blog, I will share my take on this book.

Next to our library, I have a new haven at High Street Fort Bonifacio--- Fully Booked. This modern "temple" for the mind is the best thing to happen in Manila. I could stay there the whole day and leave the place bursting with new knowledge with an empty wallet to boot. As of my last inventory, I already got a total of fifteen books, eight CD's, and twelve magazines from this landmark bookstore. If you see me eating instant mami noodles for the next two months, you know the culprit.
