Often What Seems Is Not What Is*


I mistook him as a snob when he is not. I don’t exactly know why. Maybe because of the writing style that conjured me into thinking that he is an elitist of a sort, or that he belongs to a group of intellects or 'rich' boys, or that he probably is standoffish (first impression).


But he is not. At least that’s what he sounds like to me. He sounded like a warm, young fellow who is as busy as a bee.


I got interested with his books for sale posted in one of his posts. Fortunately, nobody requested for the books I chose. After that we talked about how I will have the books. At first we planned to meet at SM North. The plan failed because of our busy schedules (or more like his busy schedules :-D ). He voluntarily offered to bring it to me. And he did ( to make the story short :-D).


He delivered the books priced at a VERY GENEROUS amount. We are currently enjoying them. Wonder when we will finish these ten fantastic books. The one above I am currently devouring.


I am talking about Banzai Cat. Of The Grin Without a Cat.


Don't you worry, dear blogger friend, your books found a home. They will be treated not with animosity or they will be going back to their master begging to be adopted again.  :-D

  7. Looks to me like a good read, Banzai Cat's book. I've visited his site before and he writes well. I am sure his book is just as well.
