FickleMinded -Thougts & Ramblings

. . .of buying books for the boys, books to read for Patrick and then some coloring book for Kendrick so that they have something to do on the plane or during stop-over in between flights,that will keep them busy or at least less-bored and also get a book for myself because reading those in-flight shopping magazine is not on my list of things-to-do on the plane.

I love reading,it is also one of my hobby. Give me a book that will capture my interest and I can finish it in no time. I can let a day passed just by reading. It was all started when I was in fifth grade,when my brother took home his Bible and out of my curiosity, I started flipping the page and before I knew it,I’m done reading it from cover to cover, although I forgot how long it took me to finish it. So anyway,since that day I began to realized that, hey! I love to read!. And since I can’t afford to buy anything during those times(nope,I can afford to buy candy ),I’m always glad when my dad brought home some old books and magazine from my cousin’s house because it means I have something to read. I lived in US for 6 years and I already accumulate at least 50 books (all hard-bound) and I’m dreaming of having my own-mini libary someday,a home office where all I can do is read a book.

That’s why,when my two boy’s was born,I wanna make sure that they have no any learning disabilities by introducing them early to books. I started to read them story since the day they were born (heck! I was reading them a story when they were still in my tummy!) and I’m glad that it didn’t took then a long time to show interest in reading,I sign them up for a Kid’s Book Club and have their own books as well.( Patrick received a 1 year subscription of Highlight Magazine from Grandma). I’m just hoping that the love of reading is not just a phase that they can outgrow someday but to be a part of their personality.

Here’s my few favorite quote about reading a book.

Children are made readers on the laps of their parents.(1994) ~ Emilie Buchwald ~

Good children’s literature appeals not only to the child in the adult, but to the adult in the child. ~ Anonymous ~

There is no substitute for books in the life of a child. (1952) ~ Mary Ellen Chase ~

and I found this quote quite funny

Attention: HOLYWOOD!!

Never judge a book by its movie. ~ J. W. Eagan ~ :D
