The Sartes are now headed to the US for a three week visit. So lucky! I hope they get to meet up with our cousins in the US, we'll be waiting for news of them. *cough*and pasalubong?*cough*
And I finally got around to finishing Emma. ^^ It turned out to be a better book than I first gave it credit for. In fact, it had me exclaiming, laughing and tsk-ing out loud every now and then while reading. Hehe... I think I'm in a sort-of gushy mood about it. AND~ I may just like Mr. Knightley as much as I do Mr. Darcy. Maybe even a slight bit more. Imagine! And even though Emma isn't as generally loved a heroine as Elizabeth Bennet is, I think I like her about as much. Or maybe even a slight bit more. I have to admit that I still like P&P more though, cause Emma sort of got draggy and slow in the middle, plus the fact that I found it slightly predictable. And unlike the only two Jane Austen books I've read before, the peak came a little earlier for Emma, and the pace sort of slowed down in the last few chapters. But I guess it's okay. I still liked the characters and how the story wrapped up. ^^
And I also managed to finish The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. Finally! HEhe... I think I started both books before the summer vacation, and I'm pretty amazed at how long it took me to finish them both. I can, in no way, match Vigile's page-burning book reading speed this summer.
Anyway, the second installment of Narnia was nice. :D I originally planned to read the first 4 books of Narnia before watching the movie Prince Caspian, but I realized that I think I'd rather watch the movie first, that way I can hopefully enjoy it, instead of being bothered by its departures from the book. ^^
And Tracy's birthday is coming up! Fun! :D Gawd~ I think this has got to be my bummest bum summer ever! I keep going out of the house, watching what I want, reading all I can. Yeah! It's a shame we didn't get to go to Subic with the Fabellas, although it probably wasn't a serious plan anyway. XD I hope we get another hang-out/gimmick day before Stacy starts working (or if not, at least on one of the weekends before school starts for the few of us still in school). And maybe one of these weekends we can even get to swim in Selda's ref water. XD
