Envious
My sister arrived safely in New York this morning. The lucky girl will be able to witness the lowering of the ball at Times Square!
every moment, every turning point, every romantic encounter in life, has been marked with a distinct song. our frailties, dreamy encounters and setbacks are always reflected with a soundtrack- a tune which brings us back, a button that allows us to freeze time and playback all those precious moments, good or bad.

My lil sister is packing. She will be leaving tonight for the airport for a wednesday morning flight to New York en route to Texas Christian University where she will be based for the next 6 months. I am excited for her. I wanted a lot to go on exchange during my own university days but was put off by the cost. Now that I am working and my brother too, it won't be such a big burden on my parents, so she goes with my full blessings.
There's such a big storm outside, and really the only thing to do is to stay home and read. I have done a bit of Magnum Magnum, last year's birthday present from Jaime; a chapter or two of Birds without Wings - De Bernieres. Probably should browse through one of my photography textbooks next. Not to say I have not been thinking about work. I am gonna be a CT next year and I am thinking how I can get my students off to the best possible start. I probably will do a letter to the parents to introduce myself and probably one to my students too.
It's December the 15th. Happy Birthday Lulu!
Caught New Moon this morning with Jaime at The Cathay. I managed to stay awake for the whole duration, so you could say that there has been an improvement, however slight. The plot is still rather vacuous, with lots of cringe-worthy moments, but at least in there were the battles between the CGI werewolves and the vampires that got me slightly excited.

Bus rides have become very enlightening. I am learning valuable lessons from Randy Pausch's Last Lecture. I am only half way through because I mean to reflect on and internalize what I read. Go get it, it's well worth the 15 dollars, or you can borrow it from me, but Jaime's next in line.
