For Philippine Twilight Fans: Would you attend a ‘Breaking Dawn’ launch event / release party in the Philippines?

Posted by lostluna on May 4, 2008 · 14 Comments

You’ve probably already marked August 2, 2008 in your calendars and you just can’t wait for that all-important day when you can finally get your hands on the fourth book of Stephenie Meyer’s “Twilight” series. But how do you feel about lining up with other Twilight fans for your copy of “Breaking Dawn”, and maybe having a few gushing sessions about Edward Cullen, and a bit of Twilight fun and games after? Let us know if you’re game for a launch event for “Breaking Dawn” in the Philippines!

So far, neither Powerbooks nor Fully Booked has any launch event or release party planned for Breaking Dawn. But if enough of us are willing to have one, we at TwilightCovenPh can try and work it out with either of the two bookstores to set up an event for Philippine Twilight fans! So cast your votes now and let us know what you want!

Woke up early yesterday as my family were to spend a day at a resort in San Juan, Batangas. Itâ€™s a usual trip we take whenever we have a free day, and one of the best reasons to live in Lipa City.

The trip to the beach is a comfortable 2-hour drive (give or take 3 to 3 1/2 hours from Manila) through small towns and countryside. The scenery is a stark contrast to the urban palette of gray sky and drab concrete, and is often quite picturesque: long stretches of green fields, mango trees in uniform shapes that look like enlarged bonsai plants, and the occasional poblacion, which consists of houses, big and small, old and new, that line the sides of the main road.

Bantayan Island, Cebu, Part 1

Situated north-west of Cebu province is Bantayan Island, whose charm lies in its friendly locals and serene white sand beaches. The island has yet to become an extremely popular tourist destination, so its beauty, simplicity and tranquility are wonderfully preserved.
