I saw the list of 101 great books for college bound students recommended by College Board somewhere in the internet. I'm already in college, and although I read most of these when I was in high school (when I had lots of time to read stuff not related to my course), I thought that it would be fun to check how many of these mostly classics I've read ( Read more... )

After more than a week of putting it off, I've updated my Project 365! But I really should post photos as soon as possible so I could write better descriptions.

Really, the death of Osama bin Laden won't be the end of terrorism.

"‎I will mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: ( Read more... )

I really don't know what to feel about this.

Does it mean that the US will be leaving all the Middle Eastern nations its military has been occupying for so many years? Will discrimination against Muslims by Westerners gradually disappear from now on? Will people in countries where Al-Qaida are hiding be able to sleep peacefully at least for tonight?

I have a Goodreads account. There are three default folders there (currently read, read, to read) but the categories seem too rigid for someone like me who keeps hopping from one book to another and takes a while to finish one (maybe I do lack discipline, or maybe focus, when it comes to reading).

It's been more than a month since I had my  thumb sprain, and while I could move it in most directions, I still can't push things or hold a pen comfortably.

Fearing that the sprain will never heal completely (like my ankles, both of which I've sprained before, and still easily sprain), I went to follow it up with the orthopedic. The doctor didn't ( Read more... )

I just learned about Cleverbot last night, and tried it out. I had more fun than expected. It felt like chatting with a real person. A really random and acerbic person. And it beats commenting on people's drunk photos on Facebook.

And here's part of our discussion, starting from somewhere in the middle of it:

Recently, on an impulse, I deactivated my Facebook account ( Read more... )

Two semesters ago, I was resisting to listen to mass with family and friends because I found that the parish priest's sermons tended to be shallow. I wondered, does God really want us to accept what was being shoved into our throats without question? Will we get struck by lightning if we question something about morality as described in the Bible? ( Read more... )
