Lifely Updates #07

Life is still kicking out here although it is really monotonous what with the house-office-house-office routine.  I am still glad and thankful that the family members, the love of my life and his family are also doing great. For September, there’s nothing much new with what I am habitually doing. I’m still attending my online classes, learning the Ilocano dialect, and reading.

I am not really making any sense at all but if you must know, I did finish a lot of books compared to the previous months, reignited my passion for drawing, started a new short novel, and enrolled…

Book Review: Eragon

Wow, I finally finished Eragon after more than a year of dilly-dallying. Eragon was not a bad book but it wasn’t exciting enough to rouse me from the almost catatonic languishing that I’ve been doing during the height of the pandemic. The main reason that I picked it up was because all the uncertainties brought by the pandemic made me think that every thing would be a lot easier to handle if we’re grasping to something so familiar. Reading was familiar and picking up a fantasy book that is full of my favorite trope would certainly do trick. And Eragon…
