Manila International Book Fair 2010
Still fresh from the experience last Monday at Scholastic Books' warehouse book sale, I stumbled upon another related event. This time its the biggest and grandest of them all in this part of the world.
It Takes a Village to Breastfeed a Child
I am a breastfeeding mother. My and my husband's commitment to breastfeed our son has blessed us with a multitude of benefits. It did not come without sacrifices though. I'd love to share our breastfeeding journey, but I'll save it for another post. It takes me so much time writing down my usually garbled-up thoughts that I don't think I can beat the end of August. Because August is breastfeeding month. And the first days of August is actually the world-wide celebration of breastfeeding week. Moving on...

But unfortunately, not all mothers and parents have been well-informed about breastfeeding that the very act was not even given a thought of, was not initiated from child birth or the mother has succumbed to the very tricky travails of breastfeeding.
Rummaging Scholastic's Warehouse Book Sale
We were able to check out Scholastic Books's on-going book sale at their warehouse this morning. According to our friend, the sale was not as great as the previous ones. But for someone like me who has not been to a Scholastic book sale before, who has just started building a child's library, and who has not rummaged a book thrift shop yet, it was good enough.
The books on sale were old stocks. It was an assortment of paperbacks, hardbounds, boardbooks, activity books, kids fiction book series, fact books and books for all ages. They were priced Php30, Php50 and Php80. Some were yellowish, have pages falling out, and really old. But there were also books which were in great condition. Some were still in their plastic vacuum packaging.
Since we're just starting our kid's book stash, it wasn't hard to find books for and would interest a little boy. With a little over Php1000, here's what we brought home:
