At the 31st Manila International Book Fair!

We went on the third day of the event.

Dada, Eury and I were so excited!!! Hehehe!

Last year pa lang after ng 30th MIBF, iniisip na namin ang 31st. Hahaha!

Sabi ko sa sarili ko, this year, i'll try to buy Eury books that are factual naman. Lagi kasing storybooks ang binibili namin sa kanya. I read somewhere na maganda din iintroduce ang kids sa mga books of facts.

Anyways, enough about my rambling. Here are our finds....

1. Scholastic - ito ang major major na sadya namin because of their bag-all-books-you-can promo. Last year, php1999 ang price nila. I got my Harry Potter set because of this. This year it's only php995. I think it's because limited lang ang stocks nila this time. But that doesn't stop us from doing the bag challenge. Here's what we "bag"(ed). Hehehe!

Worth php5k in original price! Love the bag.

2. Learning is Fun - this station fulfilled my goal this year. Dada bought us a set of great factual books. Eury love them!

"Wow! This is great.", Eury said. (naloka ang nanay!)

3. Lampara Books - you can find coloring and other activity books for as low as php20.

5. Philippine Bible Society - got coloring books for php15

6. Bookmark - I love going here for local books. I got my Noli and El Fili last year for php 100 each. This year...

7. Tahanan - also hold great finds for local books. Check each book for their price. Same books are of different prices. Meron lang konting something yung iba kaya mura pero pwede na!

We were also able to snug some magazines from Summitmedia for only php50. Also bought Clifford DVDs for php99 from Lighthouse Educational Corp.

There are still other booths aside from what I mentioned. It's a great saving to go to this book fair because the publishers themselves are the ones selling. So you're sure that you can get the best price for the books. National Bookstore also have a booth (or a big space I should say) and you can compare the prices.

I'm so tempted to go back but my wallet is saying, "Sorry you can't anymore." Hahaha! Quota na ko so next year na lang ulit. Worth the wait naman e.... =)
