The 38th Manila International Book Fair - My BEST Kind of Wonderland

My mom was a teacher. She had taught me how to love books. I had my complete set of encyclopedias when I was in grade 2 when I assured her that I can take care of them. She had bought and given me every literature she had seen me holding wherever bookstore we went until I graduated college. I got this whole room filled with books because of my mom's support. It got me wonder why we never been in the Manila International Book Fair when I was young when it's my kind of wonderland to roam around for one bulk of books.

Years ago I discovered Manila International Book Fair. My son gets to have his perfect wonderland every year.  I let him loose and be lost in the midst of  piles of books. People are so amazed how we get to find each other and we are not that scared to get lost in this kind of mesmerizing labyrinth. :) This year was far different... We got to have the usual fun in this wonderland with such great privilege of being part of the opening moment on the day 1 of the 5 days of great treasures...

Last September 14, 2017, the 38th Manila International Book Fair formally opened to the public with such legendary icons like Bro. Armin Luistro and Dr. Boy Abunda as they cut the ribbon as the significant sign that this book fair was going to be one awesome book fair for everyone especially to people who are so madly in love with books. inspiring messages where also given by our honorable guest where one could realize many things about books.

At the second floor Bro. Armin Luistro launched his book drive for the Marawi teachers. I felt so confused that I considered my self and thank God that moment for being blessed. Bro. Armin encouraged everyone to share their blessings which I said to my son that we need to do something for my fellow Marawi teachers.

One of the greatest workshop we ever had is the workshop in sketching by Harvey. He catered all the questions and had my son's needs be all addressed. With such great achievement and attainment in life, still he remains so humble. He was thankful for the ID pass he had because he got to go where ever he went... I feel that same blessing too...
