		<description><![CDATA[It has almost been half a year since I have read anything literary. I realized that in this quasi-break of ours (after all, there are no classes and exams) I needed to catch up on my literature, even if by a little. I actually had a title in mind, and it was Solomon Grunsky Was [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Other than the recent stub, I haven&#8217;t really been writing much: I have had to deal with more pressing matters, such as the choice that would dictate all my future endeavors. Writing was among the least of my priorities, if you catch my drift. 
I have lately been reading, however, and within the past two [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It can be argued that the previous episode was the climax of the series. Not only did the episode show the catharses of both Minori and Ami, it also featured Taiga&#8217;s subconscious confession to Ryuuji and subsequently Ryuuji&#8217;s realization that Taiga liked him a lot and was hurting herself immensely because of her desire to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Sound and the Fury, written by William Faulkner, is universally acclaimed to be one of the best novels ever written by an American. It&#8217;s also recognized to be one of the best books of the twentieth century. Its intricate construction and its well-written streams of consciousness underlie a tragedy so total and so complete [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;ve finally experienced some haute couture dining; I&#8217;ve done quite a good amount of reading (finished Faulkner&#8217;s Flags in the Dust and Virgil&#8217;s Aeneid); plus, I was given a Le Clezio novel as [...]]]></description>

I have obtained another plane to Davao, luckily, but I will go home much later: I will go home on December 29. Having [...]]]></description>

Because my days of being able to read freely were dwindling, I sought to read as much as I could the previous week (thus the lack of updates). It has become a ritual during the past years; I don&#8217;t think anything is bad [...]]]></description>

span id=&#8221;more-395&#8243;>
I&#8217;m not going to lie: I started watching anime seriously after I was enamored by Faye Valentine and her tragic voluptuousness. Everything about her was sexy: she had prominent breasts, among the most hypnotic green eyes, sleek purplish hair, and a past that would simply not go away. [...]]]></description>
