About thumbbook
Hi, my name is Alisa and this is my thumbbook.
Thumbbook is a collection of different things that I find interesting on the net. It’s a personal blog, that holds my thoughts on my favorite video games, recipes, movies, books and stuff.
Why the word thumbbook?
Before I got so hooked on the internet, I loved thumbing through books at the local library/ bookstore, hence the name, thumb…book…THUMBBOOK. Of course in Filipino, if you say “thumbbook” (Tambok) it means “plump”, in the Cebuano dialect it means “fat”…but what the heck…as some of my chef friends would say…Fat is flavor 
Aside from this blog, I also do social networking/bookmarking and online research. I’m a happy stay-at-home mom to a bouncy, talkative 10 year old boy, and a wife to a singing graphic designer. I love taking pictures and recently we have gone back to using the old Ricoh KR-5 SuperII to take pictures instead of the digital camera.
I learned to cook online thanks to all the wonderful blogs I’ve visited and I have actually mastered pressing F5 to get the cooking video rolling again before my food burns. Hopefully this year I’ll get better in photoshop so I could publish my food photos.
This is me, and I hope you’ve enjoyed reading through my posts.
Thanks for stopping by!
Why don’t you want to earn from it.. Just a question ?

ok, you got me there, im not a good writer, not a blogger nor a good debater.
but can you not differ a trashing tabloid junk aggregation of words from a pure critical journalistic article?
i suggest you read again conde’s articles at pinoypress…
i mean all of it.
kung mahahanap mo pa….sa pinoypress
naglaho na lang ng parang bula…
his choice of words and his tirade of accusations, so malicious, that even ms gang badoy invited him to her radio show at nu.. carlos declined.
the comments i wrote were all spur of the moment, and put the factor of time constraint. but to critically appraise them, was not for me, besides it was the “comments” thread. ang daming blogs na “intellectually” contradicted conde.
this is blogosphere, internet, where anonymity is power.
blog is an uncensored new media, where people say what they are, write what they think, and trash blog whomever they want to but cant hold what they receive from those online privileges.
tnx. no need to post this.
and hindi na ako kabataan. you’ll be surprised kung ilang tao na ang napagserbisyuhan ko ng walang kapalit, i flank a level nung nagcomment ako ke conde but the fervour i have for my childhood band and how the 40,000 people on that concert shouted and enjoyed the moment is a complicated thing that can never be written on conde’s commentary box.

Hi Alisa.
We thank you for posting about Marissa’s Kitchen, we really appreciate it. We are relatively new and we really people to know about us. That way, we get more chances of getting donations. More donations, for children can get free lunch. Right now, the money comes from the pocket of our president. She and her husband are just so kind and generous.
God bless you and your family and more power…

Thanks for checking my blog out. It’s nice to know people are reading it. I like your blog too. I didn’t see where you are living. Is it the Philippines? Your son is beautiful by the way. He’s a cutie. And, it’s ok that he wants to be close to you for now. Love him and hold him tight, soon enough they don’t even want to be around you.
My 2 older kids have reached that stage now. I still love them even if they may not be all that fond of me.
