Wrap up my 2009 Currently-Reading and To-Read countersthen compile new ones.
Spend time with my parents as much as I can— because holidays seem so short and everyone’s getting older.
Back to watching at least two films of any kind each week— since my viewing history has been pretty limited to Hollywood flick downloads, Ellen, Glee, TMZ, and other ETC/Jack TV series.
Revisit my sketchpad— and my charcoal set.
Wakeboard— a one-year overdue goal. Shame on me.
Be more productive like clockwork in my cube— not necessarily mean having to stay for grueling hours but more of plotting tasks sensibly and in good time.
Spend smart— it’s not just all about saving hard.
Stay healthy without being self-conscious— moderate what we eat, jog on a regular basis, take thorough medical checkup earnestly.
Execute some crazy plans— slightly ambitious, but who knows.

Suppose that blindness is contagious, epidemic. Suppose that blindness does not equate to darkness or the absence of light, but rather the abundance of it. What then? These are just some of the tough nuts to crack in the film Blindness by the filmmaker Fernando Meirelles, the same guy responsible for the City of God.

Tito, look meron flood. That was little Gabi, peering over the window and watching a shallow water flow near the gate. A few hours after that, we started to have our own wetlands, which lasted for two days. First flood experience, and quite an experience at that. [We had one in the province but I was too young (or tiny?) then to help with the carrying of things from a certain level to the next.] Read the rest of this entry »

So ba’t swept away?”
Wala lang..=)
