Happy Sunday and happy February to all! How’s your February so far? Mine’s not so great. A lot of crappy things happened to me in the past weeks. But I don’t want to be all gloomy in this post so let me tell you about my new frustration and my bookish guilt. Ha.
The whole internet is abuzz about this little bird called Flappy Bird. According to Huffington Post, “‘Flappy Bird’ is an insanely irritating, difficult and frustrating game which combines a super-steep difficulty curve with bad, boring graphics and jerky movement.” It’s so frustrating to play and yet so challenging.
The highest score I got is 4. I’m generally not good with any kind of games so don’t judge. LOL. Sometimes it’s fun to play even though I lose even before I get one point. Other times it’s annoying how this freaking bird can’t fly on its own.
I don’t know if Flappy Bird is the sort of game you’d like, but if you’re curious what everyone’s losing their mind about, you should try it! 😀 Just a word of advice though, relax. Seriously, relax. Take a deep breath. And whatever happens, remember that your phone, tablet, iPhone etc is expensive and don’t hurl it on the wall.
I went to this second-hand bookshop near where I live. I like browsing books at book shops even though I’m not going to buy anything, I just love to be surrounded by books. I know I’m weird. So, anyway, I wasn’t really meaning to buy anything. And then I spotted It Had To Be You on the hardcover section.
Maybe third time’s the charm.
And it was only PHP 95 (around 2 USD). Only in Booksale can you find a hardcover that’s below PHP 100. How could I pass up? So I bought it. And then I remember I don’t really like the Gossip Girl series. Oh God what have I done!?
I read I will Always Love You and Psycho Killer and I didn’t like them.But maybe third time’s the charm? Gossip Girl is a very popular series, both the book and the TV show and I want to understand what everyone’s raving about so I’m giving it a third chance.
But don’t let me do all the talking. I want to know how you spent your week. Care to share in the comment section below?
My friend just showed me that flappy bird game on Monday! It’s crazy how many people play it now. I haven’t had a chance to try it yet, but it seems like a frustrating game
It really is frustrating game that’s why I stopped playing it before I hurl my phone in frustration LOL. Thanks for dropping by 😀
I hadn’t heard of Flappy Bird but I’m sure my kids know about it and just haven’t told me. LOL
Have a great week and I hope it’s less crappy for you. 🙂

Thanks so much 🙂
The flappy bird graphics remind me of Mario Bros. I haven’t tried it, but I’ve seen people on facebook getting mad over it. lol. Oh, I love finding good book deals. Hope this week is better for you!
Aww thanks 😀 and Have a great week too 🙂
I’ve been curious about Flappybird since my friend has been playing it (or rather yelling at it). I hope the Gossip Girl book works out for you! I’ve never read any of them but I’ve watched the show a few times and I can see why so many people enjoy it.
LOL I can really relate to that. I keep yelling at that stupid bird too 😀
I really like the show so I hope I’ll like the book too.
I’m sorry February hasn’t started off well for you. Hope that improves and fast!
I never heard of Flappy Bird. The last thing I need is another addictive computer game. LOL
Have a great week!
Have a great week too and thanks for stopping by 🙂
OK I have to go try Flappy bird! For some reason that pic reminds me of the old Mario games, with the tubes.
Have a great week!
Yeah it sure does look like the Mario games tube…
Ha, your bookstore tale is so a book addict tale..we see something, might not like it or need it but have to have it..LOL I hope whatever crappy things going on in your life sort themselves out and that you rock the frog game!
It makes me feel better that I’m not the only one with impulsive buying problem LOL
I’ve been seeing Flappy Bird a lot! Haha. I don’t plan to try it though. XD
It could be fun but also frustrating 😀
I’ve seen so many people talk about Flappy Bird and I may just take your advice and break down and try it! It seems so simple so that means it must be frustrating! 😉
It really is frustrating but it’s been pulled out of the Apple App store and Google Play so I dunno if you can still find it around 😦
I have been known to buy books that I don’t really want to read a second hand book stores, because the deal is so good too. 🙂
But still, I feel guilty for buying a book and not reading it T_T
I, too, love to go to book shops just to browse and feel the ambience….surrounded by books is a great feeling.
