Whats Going On..

The much rumored supertyphoon that was supposed to plague Manila proved to be completely such an anti climax. With one day suspension of all levels and a national holiday following that, the weather only proved to be anything but rainy, dangerously windy or thunderous. I had feared that most of our projects and activities may be delayed or cancelled due to this event, and I am completely in a predicament trying to figure out how to balance all my six deadlines without compromising any over the other.

I can say that the sloth in me has struck again and I find myself trying to complete unrelated tasks rather than any of my six deadlines (forgot to include four extra optional projects). I have reorganized my study table, watched Happy Feet (which I must say was a terrible movie - had it not been for my overenthusiastic sister, I might have fallen asleep halfway.. Imagine a penguin's version of a Prince single.. ugh), Casino Royale for the second time (I've never felt more compassion for James Bond.. to a point of finding Daniel Craig curiously dashing and charming, and admiration for a sex and violence film director until I watched this movie), Amelie twice (Amelie was so worth my time.. It was different from the typical Hollywood flow.. I want a copy of my own.. I just borrowed the DVD from Marjorie).

In the weeks earlier, I also completed the book Booker Prize Winner, Ian McEwan's Amsterdam and John Berendt's Midnight In the Garden of Good and Evil. I must admit that although Berendt's book was hyponitizing regarding Savannian lifestyles and personalities, Amsterdam has kept me contemplating it's unconventional story plot for two weeks on and off. I have attempted reading Charles Dicken's Tale of Two Cities, unfortunately, the text proved far complicated than I imagined and thus I managed to only absorb the contents of the first chapter. I am withdrawing from this attempt and will try reading it again after a good period of time.

After completing this entry, I will be attempting to do further research on my character - Magnus - a character designed to be my fictional self. This character will be the lead protagonist in our COMARTS thesis. I'm reading Jung's theories of the mind and the human libido, hand in hand, with parental care and nurturing. How much perhaps of myself would I be capable of delving?
