New addition to the family part 2

Yes. Another splurge. I can’t help it. It’s like I’ve got a disease that’s slowly taking over my body whenever I see a SALE sign. I’m being drawn to it. Another SALE in a bookstore. God, I love this!

I read this article in a magazine about a sickness or a disorder in people when shopping. I know it’s overreacting but I think it may be true. People with this disorder can’t help buying stuffs- stuffs they don’t really need or stuffs they want as of the moment. Excess buying I should say. CAD or Credit Account Disorder. Stop right there. I don’t have this disease so hold that thought. I’m not like Sophie Kinsella’s heroine..err..victim Rebecca “Becky” Bloomwood that I am positive has this disease. Mine is much more tamed..(?)

Without much adieu, I know present….

Zorro by Isabel Allende

A child of two worlds- the son of an aristocratic Spanish military man-turned-landowner and a Shoshone warrior woman- young Diego de la Vega cannot silently bear the brutal injustices visited upon the helpless in late 18th century southern California. And so a great hero is born- skilled in athleticism and dazzling swordplay, his persona formed between the Old World and the New- the legend known as…Zorro.

“Heroism is a badly remunerated occupation, and often it leads to an early end, which is why it appeals to fanatics or persons with an unhealthy fascination with death.”

Oh well. There goes Ninoy.
