Thought Bits

The term finally ends. With it, comes the holiday season. Of course I love the gifts and food and the vacation, as well as the other merry making devices that keep us occupied for the duration of the vacation. As for the spending that inevitably goes with Christmas, hmmm, that part I don't like so much. So I'm recycling gifts! Mwahahahaha!

Three weeks ago, I successfully defended my thesis proposal so technically, there is now absolutely nothing that stands on my way to writing my novel. Except laziness, perhaps.

I might have a load next term. Litera1. Well at least that's something I'll be more comfortable handling. It might not push through though, because as of last count, only nine people are enrolled. We need at least fifteen.

In an hour or two, we will be on our way to Grace's surprise bridal shower. I hope that'll be fun. She's getting married to her boyfriend of eight years. Wuuuoow! What's enviable is that they already have their own house in Cainta. Hay, I wonder when I get to have my own house.

On Cinemalaya entry and thesis writing

As always, I am sleepy. But today, I do have a legitimate reason for being so. I spent all night working on our proposal for the CCP Cinemalaya with Artie. We didn't expect it to last all night but it did. I have to admit it was also fun, being so meticulous about the exact phrasing, word, and even punctuation mark to use. It made me miss writing even more. Although another confession is that I never was that meticulous about my own writing. But because there were two of us, we were able to toss the ideas and words between us and come up with something that we both can live with. Oops, that's an understatement. Did I say we worked until the sun was high up in the sky?

I'll be working on my thesis starting November. Whether I like it or not. I'm still making up my mind as to my topic though. Hopefully, come November I have more things figured out. The reason why I picked that month is more out of neccessity than any other. By that time, I'll be done with my classes in FEU. I'll only be handling a class at DLSU, artapre yes, but just one nonetheless. So finally, I will be left with no excuse for not writing. In a way I am also looking forward to it. Loads and loads of time to think and write and go mad!
