Yesterday, I picked up a book at our university bookstore, and here are some of the interesting things that it contained:

* A "diplomat" who bared her breasts to the North Koreans
* Men who fall in love with their latex companions
* Sushi chefs who replace the real thing with dubious fish
* Children who feed off their parents—long into adulthood
* An investigative reporter who predicted his own death
* Men who dress in lingerie under their business suits
* Ninja-stealthy sex molesters who target female commuters
* Compulsive shoppers who cram their small homes with goods
* Parents who dress up their children—like pets or dolls
* A rapist who targeted the suicidal via the web

For those of you who want to know more about the real Japan, check out Tabloid Tokyo (http://www.kodansha-intl.com/books/html/en/477002892X.html) .

This is one book that's difficult to leave unfinished!

Araaaay, tinamaan yata ako diyan sa compulsive shopper na yan!

O mga Pinay diyan, magpakatutuo at aminin... tulad ng sabi ng billboard sa isang department store sa States na nagkaroon ng sale (ng sapatos yata) ...

"There's an Imelda in all of us..."

Bow! Este, BUY pala!
