Book fetish.

"It’s something that you can write on, highlight if you like a certain paragraph, you can smell it, showcase it, hand it down to your children and your children’s children."

Last year, I challenged myself to read 15 books all throughout 2011 and I lost, I only read if I am not mistaken, 12 books. I have off-reading months then and I think that's why I lost. This year I'm challenging myself further though I lost last year, I'm hoping to read 20 books(or more if possible). So far I already read 10 books and I still have 7 months more to read the remaining 10. I'm really hoping and wishing to finish my goodreads.com reading book challenge!☺

Follow me on goodreads.com for books I'm into: Alyssa Alejandro ♥

The following books below are the books I've read late 2011 and this 2012, I already omitted The Hunger Games trilogy since I've already blogged about it HERE. This is some kind of a book review minus the spoiling of stuff about the book. Anyway, I'm trying something out, I'm gonna describe my reading experience with each book through how a meat is done: Rare, Medium Rare, Medium Well, or Well done. Hope you like my own version of a review!☺

Seafood Diet!

After enjoying Splash Island last Sunday, we, my companions and I, decided to eat at Dampa Libis. I've actually been there just once because when I was still studying in Manila, we usually go to Dampa Macapagal.☺ 

Anyway, expect for a seafood overload! Dampa is very known for that.☺

I joined going to the wet market at the back part so I can actually take photos and I love to haggle and the vibes of a market is just lovely for me!☺

Squidy doodle!♥

Yummy shrimpy!♥

There's ton of fish in the water, so the water I will test. Chos! :p

How's my photography skills? I used my cousin's camera, Nikon D3100.


I was kind a disappointed with this baked mussels, I used to love their baked mussels but this time around it seemed to lack cheese and the mussels itself are small and not so fresh.

I love this fried calamaris! Yummeh in my tummeh!☺

I forgot this squid dish but it's kind of sweet and sour-ish type.☺

And I saved the best for last! I so love buttered shrimp! Who doesn't love it anyway?☺

What I love the most about Dampa aside from being a seafood heaven, you can eat your heart's out and not get conscious because everyone who goes there usually set aside their diets first and indulge into an array of yummy seafood.♥
