Evidence For Cretins
Idiots are everywhere. They incubate rapidly in cyberspace. They are inescapable like the probability of another Kris Aquino billboard to glare back at you in EDSA (or the prime time airwaves getting swamped with close up shots of Boy Abunda's nostrils.) Yet I am an equal-opportunity dork so I recognize their right to exist so long as they restrain inflicting their stupidity my way (or towards the general populace at large). Normally I have a habit of ignoring pests but this one audacious commenter challenged my two previous posts (Here and here ). “It” alleged that 01: “You can’t possibly own or have read all of those books and you are just providing Amazon links so you’ll come off well-read.” and 02: “You’re a fake lover of design. You have no proof!” Or something (dim-witted tirade) like it (I'm translating from Filipino). Steady your breath, cretin; I’m posting my “proof” in the hope that your disbelieving sorry self will slink off and self-combust elsewhere.
I took the above picture when I got home but my lameass phone's camera cannot capture a clearer image. For now this will do. I’ll take another photo when I get hold of a sharper camera.

Ugh.
I would understand the skepticism if you have claimed to have captured Bigfoot or gang-banged twelve Eurasian models in one night. But the fact that you have those books? Or that you're into design? What's so incredulous about that? Only illiterate fucktards would find that hard to believe.
Dear, love your pile of books, the chair and lamp. 'Wag mo nang patulan ang mga nega. =)
misterhubs and mcvie! - hahahaha. i was about to ignore that idiot but he caught me in a very crabby mood :-)
what amazes me though is that there are people who cannot believe reading habit is alive and well.
thanks for the comments!
Hater...as much as you want them dead they just won't die!
who ever or whatever he/it is..do something more productive with your life like I don't know..donating your kidneys or singing on for a suicide mission to bomb the MILF.
P.S.
wow!you re-read those encyclopedia-ish books?! hehehehehe
E! - i've been rereading your blog. it's an odd habit, rereading what i've already read. same thing with books and really old magazines.
what i cannot bear to reread is my old journal posts.
i crumple in embarrassment when i do. hahaha!
I'm delighted to see my work in your stack—and two books at that!
