Liv in a Life Well-Lived: So I met this handsome bookseller...
http://geeksguide.blogspot.com/2013/11/so-i-met-this-handsome-bookseller.html
Thursday, November 28, 2013. So I met this handsome bookseller. Last night, I bought this book in an Islamabad old books shop for Pkr 595 (Php 250) in one of the many book shops scattered all over the city. For a nation that claims they do not like to read over much, they sure have a lot of bookstores. This particular bookshop though had a certain asset to it that very few bookshops nowadays can boast of - a bookseller who apparently reads books. BG: Are you looking for any particular book? After 15 minu...

Liv in a Life Well-Lived: December 2013
http://geeksguide.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
Friday, December 13, 2013. At different points in my life, I wanted to be a nun, an actress, a maid, a teacher and a dolphin trainer. But in all points of my life, there is one thing I consistently wanted and that is to be a mother. If you’re under 25, you have an 86 percent chance of getting baby on board within a year of trying. From age 25 to 29, your chance of conception drops only slightly, to 78 percent. Overall, infertility rates are a mere 5 percent during this decade. Links to this post. I also ...

Geeks Guide to Books: August 2005
http://geeksguidebooks.blogspot.com/2005_08_01_archive.html
Geeks Guide to Books. Thursday, August 25, 2005. The Book Critic (Inside her Head). Oh well, here comes the one who spoke too soon. I did say i was about to embark on my new life as a fantastic book critic. But. Well. Maybe it's not yet the right time for that. So anyway, it doesn't mean I can't write critiques anymore. I can. And maybe this time, I can even pepper my sentence swith the most uproarious unconnected words. Writers write. Simple as pie. Posted by Liv Burgos @ 7:18 PM. Shadow of the Wind.

Liv in a Life Well-Lived: Thimbles
http://geeksguide.blogspot.com/2014/06/thimbles.html
Monday, June 09, 2014. 3 1/2 years ago, i gave this story to someone who I pegged is the happily-ever-after type. I still believe. Peter Pan gave Wendy a thimble.As thimbles go, this one was wet and sloppy. And yet of all thimbles, Wendy was sure, Peter’s was the best. 8220;That’s a thimble? 8221; Wendy asked. “What is it for? Peter Pan smiled sheepishly as he hovered over her bed. “Oh, you know, something you give another person to tell them you like them.”. 8220;So you like me? 8220;How many are there?

http://geeksguide.blogspot.com/2014/06/the-parentless-adult-5-things-we-need.html
Monday, June 09, 2014. The Parentless Adult: 5 Things We Need Your Help to Remember. And although I was touched to be thought of as someone's child again, I was also embarrassed. I have been parentless for so long that I have forgotten the joys that parents get out of a simple family day, regardless of the cost. So here's a list of what we might need help remembering years after :. Somebody (I don't like very much) once told me, "You're lucky, you don't have your parents to worry about anymore." The ...

Liv in a Life Well-Lived: Ode to Real Books
http://geeksguide.blogspot.com/2013/08/ode-to-real-books.html
Tuesday, August 06, 2013. Ode to Real Books. I write of books as I would write of an aging parent. With reverence, admiration, a lot of love, and a deep sense of foreboding at their possible demise. I have been raised by books as much as I have been raised by my loving parents. I know all things are lost eventually, but mortality makes it difficult to accept that. With every book I have held, I have understood worlds. The firm hard covers, the soft pliable paperbacks, the yellowed pages, the glaringl...

http://geeksguide.blogspot.com/2014/01/last-day-at-31.html
Sunday, January 26, 2014. Last Day at 31. There's about ten minutes left of my most awesome year so far. I have to be very honest here, I feel like I made comparable leaps and bounds the last 12 months than the last 10 years. I actually felt myself stretch and get uncomfortable until I got used to it, and suddenly, I grew, noticeably, incrementally. Liv's Top 15 Awesome Memories the year she was 31:. 1 Built my first snowman in negative degrees Birmingham. 2 That godawful leg cramp i got in the middle of...

Liv in a Life Well-Lived: What I'm Really Doing When I'm Cooking
http://geeksguide.blogspot.com/2014/09/what-im-really-doing-when-im-cooking.html
Tuesday, September 09, 2014. What I'm Really Doing When I'm Cooking. Cooking had always been my Mom's thing. My Dad was into interior design - he had an earthy, artsy, non-gay, shabby chic taste even before shabby chic was a thing. My sister has her shoes and bags and shopping. I read and I write. I wish I could say I had interest in cooking while growing up. I wish I could say I spent almost every Saturday and Sunday afternoon cooking and baking with my Mom. Do I remember the recipes? The meals I cook a...
