– Chapter 7!
Vacation leave well spent. And then I was supposed to work on Chapter 8 on Saturday but got sidetracked by…
– “500 Days of Summer”
Finally saw it with Anna. Very nice. I just didn’t like that part when he gave this over-the-top speech before he resigned. But overall, definitely worth watching.
– mooncakes!
Been craving for [...]

– all-tidied-up ipod! And about 15 new songs from N!
So I had been procrastinating on organizing my iTunes and cleaning up my ipod. For months. Ten months, to be exact. Until today when I vowed to write Chapter 7 and thought, hey wouldn’t it be nice to update my ipod and organize all of [...]

I’m scheduled to work on Chapter 7 this Saturday. It’s long overdue, I know. While I do that, I recognize the need for me to entertain all of my three readers so I decided to post an old (not too old really, because it’s still within the year) video where, if you are very patient, [...]

– 5 movies and a play!
The past week had been a visual treat for me. I rarely get to watch movies so I must say that it had been an extraordinary week indeed.
I started with a movie marathon on Sunday, watching three Spanish films (yes, I was all over the Spanish filmfest), and then another [...]
