Hoarding
WHILE ROAMING KCC Mall to beat the afternoon heat I visited Booksale on the second floor, one of my favorite tambayans.
I couldn't believe my eyes when I found these.
Jasper Fforde's The Eyre Affair for Php 20.
And a hardbound copy of Chang-rae Lee's Aloft for Php 10.
The store was practically giving these treasures away. Without batting an eyelash, to borrow Miriam Santiago's words, I set aside my moratorium for buying new books and handed the saleslady my Php 30. My reading friends will be envious.
Will I have time to read these on top of the many medical books and photocopied reviewers I should be reading for my April exams? How will I carry these with me when I fly back to Manila?
I don't know, and I don't care.

READ A Weekend of Bargains by Dr. Butch Dalisay.
