variables :: mimai at the moment (POSTED 29 March 2004)
[book I've read lately]: Franz Kafka's Metamorphosis and Other Stories, courtesy of Tiangco (fafa! hehe)
[books I want to get my paws on]
- anything by Bette Bao Lord (except Spring Moon, I've got that already)
- The Middle Heart
- Legacies
- Eighth Moon
(I found this short story in a Reader's Digest collection at Book Sale in the SM North Annex a few months ago)

- Fast Food Nation
- The Alphabet and the Goddess

- The Tale of the Genji
- Shanghai Baby
[other stuff I want to buy]
- CDs
- The Blue Man Group
- The Dissociatives (Daniel Johns's new band, with Paul Mac. Though I doubt this'll be sold in the Philippines anytime soon.)
- National Geographic, Discovery Channel or Animal Planet documentaries: Anything involving history, mythology, the environment, technology... well, anything, actually.
- any of my favorite TV shows on video
[good news] I stumbled upon Discovery Channel's Unsolved History last Tuesday and have since declared it one of my new favorite shows. CSI simply isn't dorky enough for me!
[bad news] If I'd flunked the STS exam that day, it's all Discovery Channel's fault!
[favorites from Film 106]

[*some* of the many things that remind me of him]

- Endless Love: Yes, the Korean soap opera. One of the last times Miguel texted me was to tell me I looked like Jenny, the female lead.
- Songs he'd sing
- Nasaan Ka Na: Nyoy Volante
- Heaven Knows: Rick Price
- a hupaw version of the Moffatts' If Life is So Short
