I would have to say...Heaven. I like that series. But it's very difficult to choose. My favs are the Heaven series, My Sweet Audrina, & the Flowers of the Attic series.

crystalfaith I'm not really into psychological thrillers but when I got hold of Flowers in the Attic which a friend recommended, I was hooked. I love the drama in this series. I also collected the Wildflowers series just because one of the titles is my namesake. Haha But...

crystalfaith Every time I go a booksstore, I always notice these paperbacks that has a letter for its title. I had no idea what kind of story Sue Grafton offers but I was intrigued with her titles. I decided that once I see A, I'll buy it and read it. It turned out that...

I started reading Agatha Christie many years ago, and love the many characters she invented. My favorite character of all is Hercule Poirot. I had pictured how I thought he would look before I ever saw a movie based on one of the...

crystalfaith My favorite is Poirot as well but next to him is my dear Watson, Arthur Hastings!!! His simplicity and common-man thinking brings out the best in Poirot's little grey cells.

crystalfaith Oh yes! I love mystery stories. I collect A. Christie especially Hercule Poirot's cases. My favorite so far is Poirot's last case, Curtain. If you're looking for modern detective stories, I suggest Patricia Cornwell. :)

crystalfaith No, I did not bet for Manny because I don't gamble. :) But I do root for him with all my heart. I am also from General Santos City, and I am a very proud kababayan. Congratulations Manny for being the new WBC Lightweight Champion of the World!

Right now, we have maid who wash all of our clothes at home. I was noticed that our pants easily get broken, maybe because our maid wash it manually and she is using a brush for the pants. She is comfortable with this system and...

crystalfaith Of course, I care about my favorites clothes being broken by somebody else. That's why I always give specific instructions to the laundress like separating whites from colors and hanging the clothes to dry. With regards to your pants, I agree that it is better...

crystalfaith I've tried using Vista but I switched back to XP. Performance wise, it's good. What I don't like about it, however, is the color combination of the themes! It's too bright for me. The layout is similar to Mac but it does not have the posh simplicity of of the...
