If you are anything like me, then maybe you have never heard of Field Notes or only have an inkling that you've read about it somewhere a long, long time ago. Being shut out of the outside world does that. However, because the internet is such an interesting alternative to the real world, and I am a sucker for notebooks you can actually flip around, write on with a real pen, or stuff inside your bag without worrying about its screen getting damaged because of all the other knick-knacks it has to contend with, this giveaway from Nothing Spaces is wonderful news!

A little background on Field Notes: It's made in Chicago, IL and used to never exist in the Philippines. Now it does through Avalon.ph. It's handy and convenient to bring around. It is aptly named and reminds me of archaeologists and scientists who dig and discover stuff, logging findings in their own version of field notes. It's a bit like moleskine but of course each brand has differences and similarities. It has lots of designs (I think) and well, they're not your average classroom notebook. I'd like to think they were made to inspire notes. =)

Nothing Spaces, in partnership with Avalon.ph is giving away a pack of these pretty notebooks to a lucky winner (though I can't seem to find how many winners will actually get this). Promo ends on February 5, 2012 which is this SUNDAY! It's easy to join, really. You just have to go to Carina Santos' (author of Nothing Spaces) site using this link: http://bit.ly/ns-fieldnotes  and follow her instructions. It's basically just getting the word out and there's nothing to lose! The winner will be chosen through a randomizer so that's going to be really fair. Gives me the feeling that I should practice hacking programs like that...just kidding, I don't even know how to hack. So anyway, give it a shot people! Who knows, you might just get yourself a couple of empty pages you can fill from end to end with everything from your thoughts, to your notes, to sketches and to manuscripts of future best selling books (at least that's what I intend to do with mine if I do win =)

Tada!: A Tribute to Loki’s Movie (oh, wait, it was Thor’s movie)

Those who have not seen the movie yet, please turn away because spoilers aren’t fun, and I’m about to say some things that may ruin the fun in it for you. Okay? Good. Now, for those who have seen the movie, wasn’t it awesome? I’m just going to do the obligatory “I like this movie because . . . but I’d like it better if” here, then I’ll start my raving on the wonderful world of Loki. Thor 2: The Dark World The movie was okay. I’m one of those moviegoers who haven’t exactly read the Thor stories, who don’t know the Asgard histories, and who don’t really follow everything Thor (origins, plot of the story and not the movie, film stats, cast). Having said that, I’m still going to say that I love the movie for its execution. As far as I’m concerned for the aesthetics, I love the CGs, the layout of Asgard, the stars, the universes, the realms, the costumes. I even love the 3D effects because they got the parts that can be in 3D right. (Mind you, some movies just put everyth...

The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins From Amazon: Book Description In the ruins of a place once known as North America lies the nation of Panem, a shining Capitol surrounded by twelve outlying districts. Long ago the districts waged war on the Capitol and were defeated. As part of the surrender terms, each district agreed to send one boy and one girl to appear in an annual televised event called, "The Hunger Games," a fight to the death on live TV. Sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen, who lives alone with her mother and younger sister, regards it as a death sentence when she is forced to represent her district in the Games. The terrain, rules, and level of audience participation may change but one thing is constant: kill or be killed. My take on the story: When I first saw this book, I didn’t even mind it. I was used to hearing about great reads but I tend to avoid going with the trend. When Christmas time came, I decided that it would be a great gift, especially ha...

Dates

You don't even let the alarm wake you up. You're up before it hits the ringer, and you smile because you know you're wide awake now. You're glad you're awake now. It only means it's becoming real. You get yourself ready. You fix yourself up, iron out your best clothes, and spray on your signature perfume. You check yourself in the mirror. Again. You smile. You can't believe how giddy you are. It's like high school all over again. Only this will be better. You believe this will be better. You take a cab to the restaurant. You don't take your car with you. No use in looking for a convenient parking space at that time. And besides, you don't want to risk losing an opportunity to walk home, especially when it includes the possibility of walking with that special someone. The cab driver looks at you from the rear-view mirror. He smiles. He guesses that you're out on a date. You guess it's kind of hard to hide that fact when you've been...
