Just a quick question. Literary piece which has mature content is not allowed in this thread, right?

[diem]

[color=navy]^^Yes, material here posted here should be at most PG-15 rating or else it will be removed or moved to Mature Discussions board.

LOL. Yeah, "Anna = Annie = Anne". I could argue 'stream of consciousness' but naaah actually plain laziness in reviewing my work. The names look/mean all alike to me.

Aw, gawd! He'll be back again? I'm going to Manila mid week of October but I can't stay long to see him. Sux. Boo hoo.

[color=navy]@astroboyreal aka radiostar and Icedragon aka Chiodos,

~Based sa forum rules "ang mga istorya ni juan pablo" is not allowed in the general threads na dapat GP ang rating. Its mature, and somewhat obscene, content have been moved to Mature Discussions board.

@everyone, Once again the material to be posted here should be at most PG-15 rating. Thanks.

I was at the Rizal library last Friday afternoon. Unfortunately, I only got 2 hours worth of reading and 2 pages of notes. I didn't know they closed at 4pm on Fridays. But oh, I was in writer-and-book-lover heaven.

[color=navy]Were you able to inquire Rizal Library's weekly schedule? What time do they open and they close regularly? How about on the weekends?

@diem,

I think they open around 9am (not sure on that, though, I forget). They close for noon breaks at 12nn-1pm, and then open again at 1pm until 6pm -- except Fridays, when they close at 4pm. I asked for their number because I wanted to get complete details on getting a borrower's card. Still have to call them, though. Here's the number, if anyone needs it: 253-1526.
