    Parang slambook question lang? haha. Saw a quote kasi on the Rex Book Store Facebook fan page from Grucho Marx - “I find television very educating. Every time somebody turns on the set, I go into the other room and read a book.” Would you rather read or watch TV? :P I love both pero since i have to choose one, parang I watch TV more than I do read :P

    Iba na kasi ngayon eh. Pero i still prefer reading to gain knowledge. Personal preference ko lang naman though we live in media,etc. Mas gusto ko pa din magbasa. Nung nagboard exams ako, hindi ako nagreview sa mga review centers. Ang ginawa ko lang binasa ko mga nursing books ko since book based naman ang exam. Pero grabeng kaba ko nun kasi ang binabasa ko nun mga tenth edition tapos sa mga review centers 11th ed na sila. Haha! Mahilig din ako magbasa ng Nat Geo mag (dalawang kahon na collection ko niyan) at Popular Science. Tapos mga novels ni Paulo Coelho at HP series.

    Pag TV,- NatGeo, Discovery, Animal Planet, Turbo, History, Bio, Bloomberg, CNN, BBC, ESPN, Solar, Star Sports....
    Books,- I (think I) got a collection of series of (old used) books, which are now being sold as bargain. I have them and other books also as e-books and some as audio books.

    Kapag bata pa at nag-aaral, books majority at TV kapag yung eductaional stuff. Limited sa cartoons.

    Kapag matanda na at successful, kahit papano na lang puwede! hehe

    I remember kasi na rule sa bahay eh after ng news (TV Patrol), either mag-aral or matulog na, bawal TV. Kaya palatulog ako noon at TV addict ngayon eh. Bumabawi. But it is the right thing to do. up to now 20/20 pa din vision ko, mabilis magbasa at hindi ma-bobore kahit walang TV kasi kahit ano babasahin ko including you know what....

    Books. No contest. TV can be educational... but a book allows you to move at your own pace.

    The best is an e-book with videos added.

    Ang pagbalik ng comeback...

    I seldom watch TV. I only use it when I'm using my console to play. I'd rather read books instead (or e-books...) than watch some crappy telenovela on the local television.

    If it's news, though, especially if it's important news I switch it on and pay attention.
