#ReadOutLoudChallenge Accepted | National Book Store

I finally squeezed in some time to do record a video for National Book Store's #ReadOutLoud Challenge! You see, I have 3 younger siblings who are always noisy, and there isn't a place in our house where you can't hear them when they are all awake haha. I had to do it fast because I knew they were going to come knocking on my bedroom door soon after they realize I'm gone, so here it is! My first of hopefully many more videos to help build libraries nationwide!

National Book Store's #ReadOutLoudChallenge accepted! Reading out loud my favorite lines from one of my favorite books titled Cryptid Hunters by Roland Smith to spread the love for reading and to support @nbsfoundation. Now I challenge @stretchyourpeso @hannailuj_vallega0716 @sheanne_twilight to do the same. 😊 #Library #Books #ChallengeAccepted #NBS #NationalBookStore

National Book Store's #ProjectAral Year 9

Education is one of the greatest treasures our parents can give us. But, not every Filipino kid has the privilege of receiving good quality education, or even has access to the most basic of school supplies.

We now have a chance to help thousands of Filipino children through National Book Store Foundation Inc.’s Project Aral, which is on its 9th year! It is the first time I've heard of this great advocacy!

We may still donate for as low as P25 by purchasing a kit which contains 2 notebooks, 2 pencils, a sharpener, and an eraser. However, there is a new option this year which is a P50 kit, this one contains 2 notebooks, 2 pencils, a sharpener, an eraser, and a pair of slippers! These will be great for the kids who currently walk barefoot all the way to school!

You may find the Project Aral kits in NBS branches nationwide. Every kit you purchase and donate will go a long way for the kids who will receive them, that's for sure.

Apart from Project Aral, you can also help set up 100 school libraries through the #ReadOutLoudChallenge. Learn more about it here.

National Book Store | My Personal Store

Other kids prefer getting toys on their birthday or as a reward for doing good deeds, I don't. I love going on a shopping spree at the nearest National Book Store branch for books, and supplies. Whenever my Loly or Honey, who are both OFWs ask me what I want for a gift, they already know that a trip to National Book Store will be my answer.

Since they both live in another country, they ask my aunt Jaja to go with me to National Book Store to get books and art supplies, mostly paper and notebooks. Just give me paper, glue and scissors, and I will make you any paper structure. With paper, a pencil and some coloring pencils, (ideally Faber Castle) I will draw you anything (except a realistic person and a horse that looks real) you want.

I also like making crafts like a lap desk out of a cardboard box and a bracelet made of pipe cleaners. I'm always looking forward to make a new craft everyday. That is why National Bookstore is what I would prefer and why it feels like my own personal shop.
