ash wednesday and bookworm

Today is Ash Wednesday so we went out to celebrate the mass during lunch time. We had ashes, from the burned palaspas, put on our foreheads in a cross sign. This symbolizes that we are mortal and that we came from ash and will go back to ash. I hope Buboy and i will be able to be closer to God during this lenten season.

On another topic:
Buboy and i went to fort last night and we came upon Bookworm (a different bookstore) a small specialty bookshop. We inquired about good omens and fragile things, books by neil gaiman which i was trying to buy through amazon. We reserved a copy each of the books. The owner said it'll be available by March. Good thing too because i was not successfull in ordering them in amazon. Aparently, Philippines is not included in the countries they ship to. Well, i know i'll be able to find something that will ship here if i search enough. But why bother when i can buy it here without all the hassle? I guess internet transaction is not for me yet. The only thing i regret not getting is the comic book marvel 1602. I was trying to get it for Buboy sana. My husband is a big comic book fan and i'm proud of it.

I included the site of neil gaiman here in kurly links not only because Buboy loves his works and i'm eager to find out why:o) but also because i was amused when i read through his site. The guy is brilliant. I can't wait to get my copy of his books.
