I haven't read a decent book in a while (except for reference books for academic purposes) and I can't recall the last time I sat down and relaxed with a book in hand.
Before going home yesterday, I decided to drop by the Moonleaf Tea Shop in Maginhawa to buy my favorite milk tea concoction, Wintermelon Milk Tea with pearls. At 85php, you are sure to get your money's worth. Anyway, since I was in no hurry to go home yet since it's a bit early and I can't stand walking under the intense heat of the sun, i sat down in one of the tables outside the tea shop and took out my current reading: Meg Cabot's Pants on Fire.
Summary of the book
Katie Ellison, the book's heroine, is caught in a web of her own lies. She knows it's not right to make out with the drama club hottie behind her football player boyfriend's back but since she can't keep her tongue off both guys, she decides to keep the two guys for herself, even if it means making more complicated lies to keep herself off trouble. She says she likes Quahogs, the name of the state team everyone worships and the local clam the town is known for. But the truth is, she doesn't like neither the rubbery-taste bivalve clams that everyone loves, nor the egotistic football team that seems to get away with everything. However, she's running for the Quahog Princess Title (because she was after the prize money to pay for the Leica camera she's always wanted), she can't admit these things to anybody else. Everything sails smoothly until her former bestfriend, Tommy Sullivan, comes back to town.
