Short Term Plans


I did not meet the deadline I set for myself. I was supposed to give my mentor a copy of my manuscript last Saturday. Except I couldn't. Suddenly, there were so many things I wanted to add and revise and edit. So there's a new deadline. This week. That's a promise.

And while the novel is being scrutinized by The Great One, I will be working on a number of other projects not related to it:

1. coming up with a compilation of flash fiction that I discussed with Adam Mordo of The Man Blog.

2. conceptualizing a short film with Jason Tan (aka larryboy).

3. attending my Mandarin class every Sunday morning in Binondo.

4. learning how to drive c/o my dad.

5. starting to keep my eyes and ears and nose open for jobs. If you know of anything that you think might interest me, holler.

So so far, those are the plans.

EDIT: 6. organizing a speed dating event with long-time friends Anna and Dan. This will be exclusively for Fil-Chi's, at least for now, so if you're interested or know anyone who's interested, let me know.

    Oliver, no connection to summer at all. It just so happens that now's the time when I'm not tied to a full-time (read: income-generating) job so I might as well do something productive (other than the novel).

    Vince! Oo nga no! Hahahaha!

    I must admit that I'm enjoying it except for the fact that I have no income whatsoever.

    if you don't mind your first paycheck late (government takes a while to process appointments) we have an opening in our electronic evidence initiative here in the UP law center. work involves learning how internet technologies work, and writing gentle introductions for old people (i.e. judges and lawyers) we need output, not hours. your ate has my number...

    I'm back! But I'll be disappearing again in a few minutes. I'm now revising the novel. A few more weeks, a few more weeks.
