This will be my last post here unless, of course, I change my mind. I always do that anyway. If you're coming with me, just take my hand and we shall be together again.

While composing my previous entry, with a promise that I'll be shutting down this pc once I'm through with it, my download in LimeWire completed as well. So, of course, I launched the file. Right, I'm in the habit of downloading files which seem a bit unfamiliar to me.

The name of the file, which is in rich text format, is The Uncollected J.D. Salinger.

The only works of J.D. Salinger I'm familiar with are The Catcher in the Rye, which I read a long time ago, and Nine Stories, which I only got to know through a reliable literary source. Literary source? What a description. Alright, he's an online friend who happens to read a lot more than I do, which means to say that, he knows ten thousand more authors, and their works, than I'm already familiar with.

So what does the 200-page file The Uncollected J.D. Salinger contain? Lots.

Having no idea what these are, I consulted Mr. Google who led me to The Uncollected Stories of JD Salinger page.

Humwahaha! This feels like I've hit the jackpot.
Being a fool definitely has its advantages.

Nagising ako sa biglang lakas ng tugtog ng Rain. Akala ko si weh; si Tita pala. Nalaman ko lang nung pumunta si weh sa kwarto ko habang nakahiga pa 'ko at nag-iinin. Sabi ni Tita, "Nagising ba kayo sa patugtog ko?" Sabi naman ni weh, "Effective palang panggising 'yon?" Sa isip-isip ko lang, "Oo naman."

So nagising na 'ko nang maaga. Wala na 'kong excuse ngayon para hindi ituloy ang matagal nang nabibinbing paglilinis ko ng kwarto.
