		<description><![CDATA[I knew that the transition to medical school was going to be anything but smooth, and I was correct. I had a lot of misgivings before the start of classes and a lot of imagined problems with my soon-to-be classmates. Somehow, however, I was able to persist and flourish: perhaps this is the reason that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have searched high and low in different Philippine cities for the Entex Adventure Vision. It&#8217;s an American-built quasi-handheld console that is purported to be the Holy Grail of all video game collectors. Now, I don&#8217;t really believe in or have faith in people who keep their rarest consoles boxed and sealed, unused. Whether rare [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have a new theme, if that isn&#8217;t obvious yet. This is primarily because of mellow_bunny&#8217;s efforts: he designed my new theme from scratch based on what I wanted. Since I wanted a theme based on the color violet or permutations of it, he dutifully created my theme based on that sole desire, which is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been a long while since I&#8217;ve physically gone to cinema-houses to watch movies. Today seemed to be the best time: ate usagijen planned to go; it was a Sunday; and I basically had nothing to do. It was also the final day of the Anime Matsuri and consequently, of the showing of Toki wo [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have been writing about literature and not about anime in my previous posts; I thus decided not to write anything unless I watched an episode of anime. Life hasn&#8217;t been lenient on me, however: as my close online friends know, I have had to fix my parent&#8217;s PCs (I&#8217;m pretty versed in the removal [...]]]></description>

I didn&#8217;t like Under the Volcano as much as other casual readers or critics did. But with a line like that, I could recognize its status as a classic of 20th century [...]]]></description>
