Book Reading Happened at Sala

We had our first official book reading at Sala today. Local author Ed Mercado came to read passages from his book titled : Balikbayan Boxes for Better or for Worse. Friends of Sala came to listen and took part in a little Q & A. Later, the reading gang mingled over skewered spam, cheeze its, cookies, pineapple juice and sips of red wine. Thanks to the red wine, everyone was warm and aglow at the end of the event. We sold a few books that the author happily signed for the customers. Everyone enjoyed the event and cannot wait for the next one.

grunt work

It has been back-breaking work - updating the store's website that is. No wonder, people who actually get paid for this kind of work charge a lot of money - it is tedious. But, slowly but surely (or sorely), progress is being made. If I didn't know html codes before - well, I do know. I officially spent the entire day working on the site and still, much work is left to be done. And worse, I keep discovering kinks that completely stump me! Nonetheless, I think that the website is slowly coming along and who knows, before long, I might actually finish it. Meanwhile, do check it out and see for yourself.
