Today

Nothing much happen today apart from the fact I've been reading, cleaning and plans changed on going to the mall/supa save/hua ho/ to buy groceries and reserving a couple books (just one or three) since my mom promised me she'll pay for all the book I've reserved. [grins]
Tomorrow I've be buying ingredients for pizza, swiss roll, ensaymada and pan de sal. Since my mom wants to teach me a thing or two on baking breads. I also have plans to go to the Book Fair in the ICC since well I want to look for books that'll assist me on my psycho course.

What I've Learned from the godfather books?

1) Never hit or a woman/girl/wife
2) Never cheat on your wife
3) Be sure to take "precautions" before going to a meeting
4) Be impassive
5) Think before doing anything
6) Finish School/College/University, you'll regret if you didn't
7) Don't smoke and don't do drugs
8) Drugs is bad

10) Be sure to return the favor if someone asked you to do a favor
11) Showbusiness is not a business you'd want to try
12) Don't Drink alchol
13) Respect your family
14) Never disrespect your family
15) Discipline the boy if he misbehaves, discipline in a reasonable way
16) Be Reasonable
17) Never drive long distances at night
18) A quiet person is deadly and influencial
19) It's all business, not personal
20) Don't Wear Orange
21) Now you've read this this list, go read the books: The Godfather by Mario Puzo [read this one first and then watch the , The Godfather Returns by Mark Winegarndner and The Godfather's Revenge by Mark Winegardner.

Interesting quotes from the novels

The Godfather by Mario Puzo

So yea that's what I've learned after reading the three Godfather Books and also some quotes I liked when I was reading it.

Anyways Tah-Ta, I'm nearly finished with Anansi Boys by Neil Gaiman! [weeehaay!] Then I can read Dark Arena by Mario Puzo, which is his FIRST novel he has written!

Side Note: I'm Not Patriotic or Nationalistic or whatever as I was during the mid-years of Secondary Life.
