4 Things that Can Induce a Book Lover to Tears

A book lover isn't really the same as a bookworm because while the latter is generally fond of reading, the former is fond of both reading and the books themselves. She may even value the book more than the story in cases where the book is rare or when the copy is a special edition. And while she may not condemn e-book readers to the deepest level of hell for being phoney tools of evil that will never measure up to the value of printed books and may in fact even have one or two, she would prefer a tangible copy to electronic one. To her, reading is not complete without the concrete sensation of a book’s weight in her hand. Plus, she may also have the urge to breathe in the book's musty smell from time to time.

A book lover is easy to identify, especially in the places where she feels more at home: in bookstores and in libraries. If you spot someone acting generally creepy by sniffing books, crooning to them like they are her own first-born, or sighing/crying/fainting/gushing like a Beatles fan at a concert at the sight of a book one does not normally find in local bookstores, you have found yourself a book lover.

Usage: I vs. Me

“I” and “me” are both first person singular pronouns. The former is used as the subject or part of the subject of a verb while the latter is used as the object of a verb or preposition. You can think of “I” as the doer of the action expressed by the verb and “me” as the receiver of the action.
 

Perm Basics for First-Timers

Getting a perm is a decision that is deceptively easy to make. If you’re a first-timer and you have virgin hair, you’re right to worry. After all, your hair could be damaged, and fixing it would mean additional expenses and even more worry. Before you sit yourself on a salon chair and let a hairstylist get to your hair with perming solution, ask yourself first if you’re ready for whatever the outcome may be. Several women have gone inside a salon with the vision of a fabulous outcome only to be disappointed with the result.

Here are some things you need to know before you get your hair permed.

Traditional perm vs. digital perm.

You can get either a traditional perm or a digital perm. The former only requires the use of a perming solution and curling rollers while the latter requires the use of a machine, which will apply heat to your hair.  Digital perm is more expensive than traditional perm and not every beauty salon performs it.

Usage: Everyday vs. Every day

The proper use of everyday and every day is something that still confuses a lot of people. In fact, you will see "everyday" used instead of the proper "every day" in ads of popular products.

Ramen is one of the best foods to have not only on rainy and cold days but also when you need a pick-me-up (it’s right up there with chocolate and ice cream).

One of these restaurants is Ajigen Japanese Restaurant in AS Fortuna, situated between EastWest Bank and Oftana Hotel. You’ll probably miss this cosy place if you don’t look closely or if you’re not looking for it specifically.
