Fully Booked celebrates Free Comic Book Day for the fifth time on May 19, 2012. Every year, comic book stores and publishers gather the fans for short treats and peeks into stories of their favorite characters with free comic singles. As the premiere destination for graphic novel enthusiasts in the Philippines, Fully Booked joins hundreds of comic book stores around the world in holding the event.



“Holding Free Comic Book Day is our way of showing appreciation to all the comic book fans and giving them something exciting to look forward to as a way of thanking them for their support,” says Fully Booked Managing Director Jaime Daez.

This year, Fully Booked will distribute an exclusive cover from a DC Comics sample plus other premium items. Cosplayers of favorite Marvel and DC characters will be present to entertain for guests and photo opportunities.

Comic book enthusiasts are also in for a full treat as Comic Odyssey, the specialty comic shop, opens a branch inside the Fully Booked flagship store in Taguig.

“I’m both excited and honored to be working with the premiere bookstore in the country,” says Sandy Sansolis, proprietor and owner of Comic Odyssey stores. “The best and widest selection of books, comics, and graphic novels under one roof makes Fully Booked the top destination for the whole comics-loving community.”

Comic Odyssey will open on the 4th floor of Fully Booked Bonifacio High Street.

Free Comic Book Day at Fully Booked begins when their branches open on May 19, 2012. Fully Booked offers 20% off on all graphic novel and manga purchases for that day.

Participating stores are as follows: Bonifacio High Street; SM Mall of Asia; Greenbelt 5; Power Plant Mall; Promenade, Greenhills; Eastwood Mall; Regis Center, Katipunan; EDSA Shangri-La Hotel; Gateway Mall; The Block, SM North EDSA, and TriNoma.

P.S. Ya'll know I have a soft spot for Fully Booked:TriNoma, right? Well, they're part of the participating stores! ;)

My Mom just came home from Bangkok today and when she comes home from another country, she's never empty handed.


When she handed me this cute Uniqlo paper bag with an Andy Warhol Campbell's Soup print, I knew I was in for a treat.

Uniqlo UT's labels say that "A T-shirt is more than just a T-shirt, it's an expression of who you are and what you love."

And, my Mom did give me shirts that showed who I was and what I love.



I received not one but three Andy Warhol x Uniqlo t-shirts. Andy Warhol is my favorite artist of all time and I'm so happy that my Mom got me these shirts. And, unsurprisingly, my Mom also got me a Mickey Mouse t-shirt in grey.

Aside from t-shirts from Uniqlo, I got unbranded t-shirts as well.


This Owl T-Shirt is just too kitsch for words! Perfect for a Hipster Party!


My mother gave me a t-shirt with Mother Monster on it! Totally wearing this at the Born This Way Ball!

I really love how my Mom knows my personal style and she never forgets about me during her travels.

Thanks so much, Mom! Advanced Happy Mother's Day!

Most of you know how I'm really fascinated with Lego. In fact, I even sold some Lego accessories a year ago.

I was on my usual Google Reader spree when I stumbled upon these images.







Wigs were created from Lego bricks for a project by a Dutch design firm Elroy Klee called Mindplay: Bricks On Me.

I think they're genius!

When I first heard about Project Stand Out Proud from my friend Tsard Chua, I had no doubts about supporting it.

So, what is Project Stand Out Proud?



One of the things that Project Stand Out Proud is doing in order to spread their advocacy is the Project Stand Out Proud Pride Kit.




They are also organizing Prism: Manila Pride Party 2012 which will happen on June 30, 2012.


Homophobia is indeed a social disease that should be eradicated and I'm happy that Project Stand Out Proud is helping out in fighting for this cause.

As most of you know, I am obsessed with accessories. I seriously can't live without them!

And when you're obsessed with something, you're bound to buy a lot.

I'm just so happy to share with new these accessories that have been arriving at my doorsteps week after week. I just can't stop myself from ordering them! Thank goodness for Online Shopping!


I told Yekky Balingit of Miadore that I wanted a neckpiece made out of clear acrylic triangles and my wish was his command! I absolutely love it!


I have this penchant over acrylic stuff and I'm just so delighted with my acrylic pieces from Crave More. They're all so cute!


Harry Potter Books Charm Bracelet from Junk Studio. Nikki from Junk Studio is really so creative and I love the heart and soul that she puts in every accessory that she makes.


Lady GaGa x Terry Richardson Book Necklace from Junk Studio. It's so amazing! Nikki did another wonderful job!


View Master Bottle Cap Ring from Junk Studio. The View Master was my favorite toy when I was kid and there were no questions asked when I saw this piece in Junk Studio's Facebook Page--I had to buy it.


This is my latest purchase. Leeroy New Drip Necklace from Delirium Objects. Leeroy New is such a genius! This is literally art that you can wear! Delirium Objects told me that I'll be the first one to have this piece and I can't wait for this to arrive on my doorsteps!

Accessories really make an outfit and I'm glad that there are a lot of stores in the Philippines that can satisfy my appetite for accessories.

Scorching sun? Sweat all over your body? Choosing shorts over pants? Summer is definitely here to stay!



Being the princess that I am, I can easily ride a private jet and go Palm Springs. But, alas, we all can't be princesses. Thank goodness Moonleaf Tea Shop is here to join you for a summer staycation as they take on this heat with the coolest milk tea in town.



Meet your friends and catch up. Enjoy your favorite book (I highly recommend I've Got Your Number by Sophie Kinsella) by yourself. Bring your Monopoly card deck (Disney edition of course!) and play for hours. The heat will not matter anymore because there are plenty of things to do. And Moonleaf Tea Shop wants you to do it with them! Moonleaf promises that this staycation will be unforgettable! Moonleaf is inviting everyone to a Summer Xie Xie Day, happening some time this May. We can celebrate summer over barbeque, music, and what else, our favorite tea drinks!



So if you are in a staycation, make a run to the nearest Moonleaf branch, and they'll be right there waiting for you!

Take your staycation with Moonleaf online and don't forget to visit their accounts in various social networking sites below:

If there is one advocacy that I strongly believe in, it is the Preservation and Care For Nature. In fact, I don't use plastic bags at all when shopping and I bring a huge canvas bag with me everywhere I go. I also bring my own portable utensils in order to avoid using plastic ones at restaurants. And in our house, we use solar powered lamps during the night.

It has come to my attention that SM has felled more than 182 trees already to make way for the construction of a parking lot in Luneta Hills, Baguio, Benguet.

I really felt bad and devastated about this news. I love shopping at SM and all but I only have one stand about this issue: THIS. IS. ABSOLUTELY. NOT. RIGHT.

I don't remember the last time I went to Baguio but I do remember that the last time I was there, I saw a lot of bountiful trees. I don't want to be going back there and see these trees replaced by a Parking Lot. I really think that Baguio can survive without malls but not without trees.

What SM is doing is very greedy and it proves that all they care about is money. We all know that Parking is not free so the more trees they cut (bigger parking lot), the more money they would get. SM is just pure evil!

What are we leaving for the future generation? A parking lot? When will SM stop? What's next? SM: Sagada? SM: Banaue Rice Teraces? Clearly, they don't care about nature and they would do anything to generate income.

They (read: SM Baguio) paved paradise and put up a parking lot.


Henry Sy, you think you own whatever land you land on, the Earth is just a dead thing you can claim. But I know, every rock and tree and creature has a spirt, has a life, has a name. BOO YOU! 

Could you tell me how high does a pine tree grow? If you cut it down, then you'll never know.

I am highly disgusted with what SM is doing and I can truly say that they have lost one of their loyal customers.

How about you, what's your stand on this and what are you going to do about it?
