What is Bookay-Ukay?
Book: A book is a set or collection of written, printed, illustrated, or blank sheets, made of paper, parchment, or other material, usually fastened together to hinge at one side. A single sheet within a book is called a leaf, and each side of a leaf is called a page.
Ukay-Ukay: A Thrift-Store, secondhand clothing store... A place to buy secondhand stuff.
Book + Ukay-Ukay = Bookay-Ukay, a place where you can buy, borrow, lend second-hand books and Ideas as well....
MOTTO:
IF YOU DO NOT HAVE ANYTHING GOOD TO SAY...YOU CAN STILL SAY IT!
We are a group of anti-corporate, poor and struggling petti-intellectuals from our beloved third-world planet, the Philippines,who love to rummage the dark corners of Recto and the dusty shelves of Booksale and Books And Mags (Though,occasionally there are books acquired from The Japan Foundation,Goethe Institute and National Bookstore), for Knowledge,Wisdom and Literary Treasures (and some occasional Porn)....We are selective readers and We sell books deemed unworthy of our Divine Personal Libraries (though, most of the time we sell even the most precious of our possessions,due to lack of money.) We are also known to sell books at very affordable,negotiable prices at the UP Sunken Garden( during the Lantern Parade or the UP Fair,most of us are Filipinos , But, we are a growing family and Everyone from any school, creed, country or belief is welcome to join the merry mob. Not just Filipino we are global...So, Pinoy, Pinoys or not, everyone can riot with us...
We also love to debate and do intellectual talks while eating Free Food at Film Festivals, Art Exhibits and Art and Cultural Festivals (Instituto Cervantes serves the BEST FREE FOOD as well as CCP)..At times we also cook,thanks to the inspiration of Haruki Murakami,Esquivel and Hare Krishna...
We love to read while listening to Easy-Listening Crust and Grindcore Music.
We are pirates and vandals and Licensed Teachers...And we love to eat,drink and live the life of true-blue rockstars...
