place not typical...at all

i have come to a different level of relationship with the Library. when one speaks of the library it's typically but a boring, grasp a be-silent-rule, a place for books... the way i perceived it by the way. i remember back in high-school, bunch of my friends and i would go to library... at times for research but most of the times to chit-chat with the things i can no longer recall but that must be really funny because all we do were laugh hard, really laugh hard that i remember maricel, jeline and i would just be in tears with laughter... as expected... typically, we were scolded with the hard shhhhh and fierce eyes directing to our table.

i just love going to pv library these days and my husband does too. it's the local public library close from our place. i usually walk, with unfeigned excuse to burn calories as well. my liking to go becomes a desire that i never have to push myself at all. i take indian peak road, the route is peacefully surrounded with trees and grasses at each side of the street... i would pass promenade mall making the distance seems shorter, although not!, turning my brisk walk into a leisurely walk... distracted by the sale signs, featured clothes in the boutique windows and a swift stop for a squirt of evelyn & crabtree hand lotion in which most of the stores have a sample table on a brick walkway across their shop... i tried a rose scent hand lotion by the way... this afternoon.

my husband and i already borrowed tons of books and dvds!... books are free, dvd's only cost a buck! and they have a gift shop that carries products from various countries. at times i feel like having my solitude, i tried going to a park but i can use my time better if i read, alone without distraction. i love how pv library structured and designed the area... privacy was obviously a goal. all the books that i would feel and think of reading are all there! never disappointed me... the other week, i was able to finished a self-help book by accident. i went there for dvd but then i felt kinda lazy walking back home so i decided to stay for a bit, sat in a private lounge for reading where i just shut my eyes and meditated 'til it gave me an urge to read, so i did. until i glanced in the window and noticed it's getting dark, i didn't realize that i already spent 6 hours reading. the library closes at 9pm btw on weekdays and 5pm on weekends.

ignorance is not an excuse for not knowing... our drive to know and understand things has ways. learning should never stop just as mind doesn't. although my formal learning is over, self-learning will stop, never!
