We’ve always wanted to live in a good hotel
Eloise, The Ultimate Edition by Kay Thompson and Hilary Knight, Php1395 at National Bookstores.
Between Sineng Pambansa screenings at SM Aura (Cabbie: Uma-awra ang mall na yan.) we went looking for a bookstore and found a National Bookstore on the lower ground level. It’s new and the fiction selection needs work, but in the design section we found this Eloise omnibus. Which we bought “for our 7-year-old niece”, wink wink. Then we decided that a 6-year-old girl who lives at The Plaza in Manhattan with her English nanny, dog and turtle, orders all her meals from room service, bothers the staff, and invites herself to all the functions at the hotel might not be a proper influence for a child who is innately maarte (“Mommy what’s thaaaat?” “It’s the Pasig River.” “Yuuuuuucccch!”) But for us, absolutely. So we’re keeping it.
DC Universe by Alan Moore, Php1015 at National Bookstores.
Then we found another Alan Moore compilation. Good shopping.

I have to wonder how long Basil Fawlty can handle Eloise before he snaps. It would probably be measured in seconds.
