Book #18 for 2013: Bought this book a few weeks back but only got the chance to dig in on the train ride from KL to Singapore.
She's still one of my favorite Filipino authors. The things that she thinks of and comes up with... PRICELESS! Liked the tennis-related entries (how come Djokovic was not mentioned?). Loved the football-related entries (ZIZOU!). And laughed my ass off while reading her big head (she said the circumference of her head is 24 inches. Hilarious!)entry. To quote Cesar Montano (as quoted in Twisted 8), this is essential and tantamount!
