Awwww…. Just when you thought you’ve heard everything about love comes a remarkably slick book from A & S. Titled The Love of My Buhay: A Pinoy Love Poem Just for You, it’s an ideal gift item in the bridal month of June and in the rosier days to come. Tickle yourselves pink with fresh, vibrant words of wooing and wowing.
Two characters, a Juan and his Maria, do funny things on the page like they’re Kenkoy and Rosing on the vaudeville stage. They are distinctly Filipino and post-modern at that as they exchange sweet somethings – with the hope that someday, somehow, they will be together forever natch.
The drawings are cool eye candies, an excellent complement to the witty romance of this novelty book. The artwork is by Elbert Or (with a bit of assist from Lorra Angbue-Te).
This novelty book by the way contains a customized dedication page and stationery section where you can write personalized notes to your love IRL.
Show how much you appreciate and care for the love of your life with this quirky comedy. Available at major Philippine bookstores for P75, The Love of My Buhay comes with its own envelope and plastic slipcase.

The Rice and Fall of a Unique Kiddie Book Hero
Rice is the staple food of the Filipinos. And in this book The Adventures of Gabby Ghas: Palay-Bigas-Kanin, a grain of rice comes alive and lets it sentiments know about the nature of being.
‘I think, therefore I am’ applies to how Gabby Ghas identifies with the importance of being one’s self and later becoming a positive contributor to society. We see how a particular food grows from seedling to plant, and in the course of the story, how Gabby copes with different situations and also how our main character overcomes obstacles in this series of colorful exploits.
Reading the book from start to finish is a most rewarding experience, and I enjoin readers, young and old, to rediscover and verily appreciate the beauty of our very own bigas.
Retailing at major Philippine bookstores for P175, The Adventures of Gabby Ghas is also available from The Asian Rice Foundation in Los Baños, Laguna (tel/fax: 63-49-536-2285, or email asia_rice@agri.searca.org). You may also visit their website at www.asiarice.org.
