Fun Monday Collections

Meme, books

I don’t know what comes to me when I signed up to Mariposa’s invitation on FUN MONDAY’s assignment, she hosted today’s topic which is collection.

I don’t collect anything to tell you honestly. Once I considered of collecting Bratz dolls because my daughter wants to have those, I’m sure everything that I will buy will stay with me for a while, since we’re miles apart. I also bought some protagonists miniature of one movie that I really liked which is THE MATRIX. I saw them on sales, and I can’t help buying them. But I haven’t bought any after that.

Every time, I go on shopping, there’s always a thing or two that I want to buy and collect but my sister who always with me disagreed each time she sees me glancing with some stuff with all hearts in it. She said, it such a waste of money.

But this one, I can’t really refrain from buying no matter what the people I am with blabbering.

I also have one box of kiddie books which my employer gave me when I told her that I am planning to collect books for Filipino children whose family cannot afford to buy one for them. I got the idea when I saw my uncle stashing my cousin’s book shelves and throw books that he thought the kids don’t browse anymore.

There goes my collection. I don’t have so many like C Gonzales books, I am starting collecting though and I have more which I left in the Philippines.

Go visit the other Fun Monday participants… start a collection of collections…..

We have boxes and boxes and boxes of NLM’s books. He loves books, too and will NOT get rid of any. I read one, I either give to someone, or donate it.

IamwhoIam,

Yeah! I actually want to start that cause and promote it here in my blog and ask some bloggers who lives in Canada to help me get their “unwanted books”. I usually see them in garage sales. One problem that I see is how I can transport the books to my country, which will cost a lot of money. But I am more than willing to pursue this.

donG hO,

This is small thing compare to some who really taking their life at risk just helping others, and I know you can do it too.

Thank you for adding me to your blogroll.

If you still have those stuff, that’s good. Having our collections around bring irreplaceable happiness right?

Girl, join ka na. Nothing serious. This is just for fun. Some may even call it a tag but I want to make it more personal. I will publish it on my blog with the whole pics and accompanying write-up. I plan to do this monthly with a different topic for each month. Here’s the link:
