:O so I went to the Festival of Philippines Arts and Culture this past week. Honestly it was the first time going to a Filipino festival xD Was nice, I really wanted to buy some of the books though, but they cost so much.
Those books reminded me that there’s practically nothing in the chain brick and mortar stores here. I mean Filipino’s are the 2nd largest Asian demographic in the United States but there’s hardly anything in the bookstores. Anything from Rizal has to be ordered at the counter. This was when I lived in Long Beach, so maybe its different here, but I seriously doubt that. I remember staring at the Asian History section and seeing Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia, and no Philippines. I don’t think I have go to the counter and request anything, it should just be there, especially since Filipino’s were no minority in Long Beach >:
I know Filipino’s have been in Riverside since Riverside has been Riverside, but again, its practically Middle America. My best bet would be San Diego, if they don’t have anything I’m not sure what to think. And I don’t know if its just because Boarders and Barnes & Nobles aren’t aware how many Filipino’s there are in California, or if its just because Filipino’s tend not to buy books on the History of the Philippines (from chains at least)…
Other then that, I found my Godmothers address and phone number 
We’re thinking of just surprising her with Christmas gifts instead of calling first :3 I want to make a shawl since she made so many things for me, but I’m not sure what the weathers like in Hawaii, so I have no idea if it should be very lacey and light or somewhat heavy, maybe I’ll just ask Hawaiian Ravelers. I have some pattern suggestions on my other blog, but I still really need to narrow it down and get started as soon as possible.
Also quizzeh! I’m not surprised 8D
