A distant update
Oh, I am probably the worst disciplinarian. I have abandoned 365 and this place too long. Something a friend said the other night makes me think about the evolution of our world view as we grow older. Sad to say mine grow worse. Even writing this line makes me depressed.
It's hard to get out of the 'me, me, and me' world like a good friend pointed out very clearly. We care about ourselves too much to sometimes get out of it. SNAP! Wake up! The world doesn't revolve around you.
Recently finished "The Shadow of the Wind" by Carlos Ruiz Zafon. It's probably one of the most stylish prose I've read in recent years. It is dark, mysterious, dramatic, yet the mood is occasionally broken with great humor. The translated English version is that good. I can't imagine how the original Spanish prose would be like. This, is entertainment.

Don Federico lived with his deaf octogenarian mother, known in the neighborhood as "La Pepita," who was famous for letting off hurricane-force wind capable of stuning the sparrows on her balcony and sending them spiraling down to the ground.On the topic of 365, dry spell has hit and lasted for more than a month now. Ergh.
