i dream a dream

yan ang dream ko. hehe. this was taken sa condo na tinitirahan ng isang friend ko.. naiinggit ako kaya kinuhanan ko ng picture.. pero seryoso, pangarap kong magkaron ng sariling library sa loob ng sarili kong bahay. sana in the next 2 years, makapagpatayo na ko ng bahay. i don't have any specifications sa house except that it needs a library. :D

at ung library, gusto ko as in super dami ng books. ung tipong madaming rows of shelves na pang-library talaga. tapos arranged by author then book title ung books. parang ganito:

at gusto ko wall to wall carpet ung library ko. tapos may dark heavy curtains.. tapos may PC. tapos may area na maraming throw pillows na pwedeng higaan habang nagbabasa.. haayy.. heaven. :D cguro di na ko lalabas ng library ko pag nagkataon.

so this is me unleashing my inner geek. ung nanay ko, dahil hindi mahilig magbasa, hindi maintindihan ang addiction ko sa pagbili at pagcocollect ng books. which is really sad dahil wala ako sa bahay namin sa cavite nung binaha ang bahay namin dahil sa milenyo. ang dami ko ding books na tinangay ng baha. di nila naisalba dahil di naman importante para sa kanila.. :( i had to start rebuilding my book collection tuloy.

aun pa pala. more specifications on the construction of my library : it has to be sa 2nd floor ng house para bumaha man, kahit wala ako sa bahay. andun pa rin ang books ko.. now all i have to worry about is making sure na fire-proof ang room without using water.. hay. (btw, burning books reminds me of the book fahrenheit 451 by ray bradbury. have you read this book?)

pero kelan pa kaya mare-realize ang dream ko na to? sa ngaun kasi konti pa lang ang books ko..below are pics of my books.

the first pic (upper left) has 2 half-rows of books which are mostly for academic purposes. (plus a few other books. btw, the bin laden book is not mine. i just borrowed it from a friend and must be returnes soon.) the red envelopes contains readings in college (specifically spanish10, stat131, and a photocopied MGB). the second picture (upper right) contains 2 rows of hardbound and "big" books.. and the last pic (bottom center) contains 3 rows of "pocketbooks" aka my paperback books.

haaay.. kelan kaya dadami ang books ko para makapuno ng kahit 3 shelves man lang? mukhang kelangan ko magbooksale every week. hehe. :D ayway. reality check muna. tama na muna pangangarap. (sa totoong buhay, gutom na ako at maghahanap ng makakain.)

Note : library shelves pic was taken from Mount Angel Abbey Library's site.
