So who do you think will be this year's American Idol? I don't really care but I hope the Simpsons episode guest-starring Simon Cowell gets aired on these shores real soon, don't you?

Looky, I found this at our friendly neighborhood National Book Store.

The price tag says P35..! Wow, to think I couldn't even afford to buy extra ones for myself back in the day.

This book holds a lot of dear memories for me. Did you know that I completed all 25 illustrations for it while vacationing with my family in Japan? And that it was at the book's launch in March 1997 that I was "officially" introduced to Arnold? (Thanks to Marco! Tsk tsk, whodavthunkit huh, Dimaans?)

I also found a fairly good copy of Nick Bantock's The Walrus and the Carpenter pop-up for P65 -- a steal considering I bought his Jabberwocky pop-up boxed set for close to P1T some five years ago. I'm tellin ya, bargain-bin digging is the way to go!

hi! i still have my copy of fruitcake. actually, it wasn't my original copy but my friend lost it so she got me another one. fruitcake was one of the nicest gifts i ever had because i love all the illustrations and it still gives me a nice feeling whenever i read it.
