Toward the end of February, I realized that I do have quite a long list of British and Irish books I have yet to read. Just like in February, I spent the month reading the works of British and Irish literature. I am reminded that March is about to end today is the second to the last Friday of the month. Enjoy the weekend everyone!īefore I can dress down and dive into the weekend, let me cap the week with a new First Impression Friday update. After chalking up another work week, I hope everyone gets a peaceful and restful weekend. More importantly, I hope everyone is doing well, in mind, body, and spirit. However, if the past week and weeks have been unkind, I hope you get to spend the weekend mustering courage and strength.

I hope that the rest of the year will be filled with nothing but good tidings and blessings. I hope that you were able to achieve everything you set out to achieve at the start of the week. HAHA.Īnyway, I hope everyone is doing well and that they have ended the week on a high note. Summer used to be my favorite season but Manila made me see it in a different light.

I fear that my vision of Metro Manila turning into a literal hellhole is going to materialize. I can only imagine how it is going to be in the coming months. Over here in Manila, the heat is starting to make its presence felt. I have been looking forward to the weekend as well. It is knocking at the door! It is time to ditch those office attires for more comfortable clothing.

It is the last working day of the week, everybody! Happy Friday! The days everyone has been looking forward to are just over the horizon. For the sheer joy of it she takes up the challenge of bringing the infernal Pinkie to an earthly kind of justice. Ida, whose allegiance is with life, the here and now, has her own ideas about the circumstances surrounding Hale’s death. He is therefore not prepared for Ida Arnold, Hale’s avenging angel. As a Catholic, however, he is convinced that his retribution does not lie in human hands. Responsible for the razor slashes that killed Kite and also for the death of Hale, he is the embodiment of calculated evil. Pinkie, the teenage gangster, is devoid of compassion or human feeling, despising weakness of the spirit or of the flesh. Graham Greene’s chilling exposé of violence and gang warfare in the pre-war underworld is a classic of its kind.
