let's face it, magazines are addicting. I remember my highschool days when one of my classmates brought his copy of Vougue magazine and we would sit around him as he flips its pages, never letting us touch it! as we salivate owning it (mine particularly on the scented /perfumed pages) , i remember saying to myself pagdating ng araw i'll buy all the magazines I want.
So the magazines of my life are a testament of who I am, what i went through, my interests and passions. I kept most of them.. my college magazines are the MAD magazine, post college are the PREVIEW issues though i never had the bucks and the guts to dress like the models, eventually I moved on reading ENTREPRENEUR Magazines the end result of which is my first venture in business while working (a 1 pc xerox machine) which lasted a good year and then had to fold it up because I had to move to another place.
So it was like that, I fell in love, got married and before that I was holding on to Martha Stewart line of magazines -wedding, living, etc! i just love the stuff going on in any of Martha stewart.haha
I won't ever forget one generous aunt who gave our family a gift of multiple years of national geographic subscriptions! i think it's the reason I like looking at photos and I grew up loving the great outdoors. My family still holds on to vintage Reader's Digests some as far back as 1950's. Time and again, i read it. Holding a 1952 issue, i read about how in year 2000 computers will be all over the world. isn't it wonderful how as far back that writer's analysis came true.
Now that I have a family, I buy Smart Parenting, YUmmy, GoodHouseKeeping and some other cooking mags. i coould have saved more money I know! but magazines are just a part of my life.haha
but thank God for e-copies of my favorite magazines! i'm able to save more. yes reading e-copies makes sense too! Though i must admit nothing compares to the real thing.
but what with this economic crunch, living a more sustainable lifestyle, e-magazines are the way to go! Im making some of my collections available here for your QUICK MAGAZINE FIX! or you can visit my multiply account dianneorpilla.multiply.com
