This is the second incident of suicide in Ateneo de Manila in just two months…
Why? What is it about death that people are enamored to it?
Random Rant of the Day
Our MS PowerPoint 2007 decided to be annoyingly slow today…just when I was enthusiastically preparing a presentation for tomorrow’s Media and Globalization class. Why does it have to act up now? After a million or so years, I finished the report. But I still felt pretty frustrated.
I hate wasting time. I hate waiting.
You know that MTV show Boiling Points? I can never be in that show. One minute off and I would have smacked somebody in the head and walked away.
Patience is a virtue I don’t possess (not all the time, at least).
Melon Collie and the Infinite Sadness
We’re so close yet so far.
We might as well be strangers.
The thing about love and relationships

Thoroughly engaging. Endearingly poignant. Disarming. Melancholic. You have to read it to experience it. I must say, not bad for my first taste of Murakami. Not bad at all.
It’s funny because the course of my reading this book developed half-way around the world. I was reading it from Manila to Hong Kong. Hong Kong to San Francisco. San Francisco to DC - in most of our domestic flights in the US. Los Angeles to Hong Kong. Then back to Manila. And when random strangers see this book in my hand, they’d tell me how they love this book. How incredible it is. And now I know why. It’s amazing, really. How the story and their characters - their pain and sadness - becomes indelibly attached to you. Amazing.

When he hears her favourite Beatles song, Toru Watanabe recalls his first love Naoko, the girlfriend of his best friend Kizuki. Immediately he is transported back almost twenty years to his student days in Tokyo, adrift in a world of uneasy friendships, casual sex, passion, loss and desire - to a time when an impetuous young woman called Midori marches into his life and he has to choose between the future and the past.
What I want now
Back-to-back issues of Teen Vogue.
In the States, each copy costs around 3 dollars. Here, the price is almost 10 dollars. Crazy, but true.
