Fully Booked & Wacky! @Bonifacio High Street

This past Thursday I invited Marlon, Paul, and Rex to have a walk and sight-seeing in the futuristic open-wide shopping center and unique displays of Bonifacio High Street, commonly known to many as Serendra, the Fort, Bonifacio Global City. For me, the unfinished beautiful condos surrounding the place and is nearly at my place make its name like my "Kapit-Bahay". Cool, right?

Ludicrously, four of us were reunited. We had one common instinct again and that is to check out the cute girls that passed our way. Just kidding! Seriously, we're not very good into that. We don't even know how to throw the best pick-up line.

There is this thing standing in the middle of Bonifacio High Street that seems to be a big wall of teddy bear. We had picture on it and Paul was obviously the wackiest one in the group. I call this scene as the "Teddy Up on Us". The pose was a disaster, kindly check the picture at the right. Haha I think that is the best we can showed on my 2 Mega Pixel Sony Ericsson P990i. If I had only enabled the flash and the night mode it would have been a lot better shot, I guess. Another thing that made this picture a not-so-good was the photographer, ouch! Just kidding!!! Sorry Rex, I was expecting you must have taken the whole Teddy with us. Peace man!

If we were into a band, I think we definitely have the market value in terms of pose and rock attitude. Just make the lighting and background dark with no minimalism design behind. Just take a look at these two pictures of wannabe rock a fellas:

Don't you agree?

Well, enough said of that too good to be true words.

Just in one corner of this Bonifacio High Street area is Fully Booked. Fully Booked has a huge collection from children's books, design, graphic novels, humanities, lifestyles, professional, magazines, and even music. This lifestyle haven has 5 stories, a movie theater, and other event spaces. You don't have to worry if you need a coffee break for two floors has Starbucks coffee, the leading retailer, roaster and brand of specialty coffee in the world.

If you are dealing with new and old books, Fully Booked at Bonifacio High Street in Global City is the best place to check out. As we checked the books inside, we found many interesting ones. Actually, we had a mixed up tastes. Again, wacky Paul was exaggerating in his previously read book that he had almost tour the whole area just to see it. I guess you may wonder what was that book, well, it was a collection of pick-up lines. lol

Marlon, on the other hand was a bit curious of something while Rex was nowhere to be found. Rex was naively browsing the advertising books & design section. He thought of buying a book for good color tips using Photoshop and logo designs too but we keep playfully vexing him to get off from work related stuffs for now.

With the 5 levels of Fully Booked, you'll be satisfied from ground to up. Many kids found the lower ground amusing for it is housed by famous action figures, anime and manga books, cartoons and comics, magazines and cool greeting cards.

As for me, Fully Booked's most interesting section is for Professional: Psychology and Novels.

Although I am not a person devoted to books sometimes there are some books that cannot be ignored. Usually, I find it interesting by just looking at the title. Sometimes the content itself (even if the title is not a striking one) can be worth the time to read or just because many people talked about it and it is one hell famous in the market. Do you remember the #1 worldwide phenomenon book of Dan Brown, THE DA VINCI CODE? Dan Brown is the author of numerous #1 bestsellers, including Digital Fortress, Angels & Demons, and Deception Point. I didn't bought one of his books. I just borrowed it from a friend and I care less to read THE DA VINCI CODE when its movie came up.

Okay, back to the Psychology section of Fully Booked. There's one book that attracted my attention, "8 Choices That Create A Love That Last". I haven't actually checked the whole thing but I think it is good. 8 Choices That Create A Love That Last was written by beloved author Jill Briscoe. Jill Briscoe's eight points of solid options for your life that are guaranteed with love to lasts. Based on the "love chapter" of the Bible, 1 Corinthians 13, the choices shared in these pages will give you the power to love not only God and yourself but to infuse love into every relationship in your life. -Amazon.com

As soon as I had opened the book, there is one part that makes sense to me in an instant.
So what I did was to sit down in a conveniently small leathered chair available in that area and read it for a moment. The introduction poem is spiritually captivating:

Love Without End

Loving those who don't deserve it,
Loving those I hate,
Loving on when all seems lost and loving loving is too late.
Loving when love's not returned And when my heart's in pain,
Finding courage deep within to live and love again.

Loving God with all my heart
And the enemies as friends,
Loving those who're difficult,
Yet loving till the end.
Finding all-sufficient love, when love is hard to find,
Loving and forgiving those who're thoughtless and unkind.

Love like this is gifting from the God who came to give
Life and love through Jesus Christ,
Who died that we might live.
You cannot love without Him
In the many ways you should,
Loving unloving people--the bad as well as the good.

So put yourself in silence,
And receive the spirit's power
To love and without an end until the final hour.
Our human love is not enough
To love a broken race Into the loving arms of God with tears upon His face.

So love me into loving,
Lord, Reduce me, Lord, to size
Till Jesus, all is Jesus, and You alone is the prize.
Work in me by Your Spirit till
You melt this heart of stone
Love through me, Lord, till I at last am loving You alone!

After that little book-worming, we decided to eat at McDonald's fast food located near HSBC and under construction hospital, St. Lukes. I was actually going to meet up with a special friend near within the place and is working in Deutsche Bank. Unfortunately, due to hassle from her work she weren't able to see my best buddies. But the whole hour of chatting in the fast food was very well pleasant.

From there, we went back home and took one last picture.
All of us were too lazy to walk faster since we've noticed that we had actually gone that far. That was a bit wacky night for four of us.
