Merry Christmas!
I’ve been delinquent in my postings. There are a number of reasons why – *been busy with work and life (the usual excuse) *not sure whom I’m writing for when I post on my blog or anywhere on the Internet for that matter (related to previous post) *feeling anti-social even from the world of the…

A seed is planted…
Tonight I watched “In the Matter of Cha Jung Hee” a film by Deann Borshay Liem. Soon I will write a review, but it was a very interesting documentary. (Thanks to my BFF and another friend for telling me about these films!) As I watched, there’s a scene where Liem goes to the Social Welfare…

Bloated Blogging
I’m finding it a little hard to keep up with the blogging. How do professional bloggers do it? Maybe they don’t have jobs or lives…? Sometimes I wonder if we depend too much on these blogs to connect us to the world, to share with random people, to leave our digital footprint, to… what end?…
