hi.
its my new blog. created with the intention to organize my thoughts. as 2008 came to an end, i realized how much of my year had slipped away into a vague chasm. nights of watching movies or seeing friends or eating out fused into febu-embers and jul-arches. frinights and sunmornings.
when was that? were we with your family or mine that night?
this year, i hoped to put more emphasis on reflecting and savoring the present so that someday the future will be saturated with vivid and colorful memories.
thus, my blog.
i am going to start with my new year's plan. as i perch on the peak of 2009, i have quite the view of the year that lay out before me. it feels good to organize...color code...file & label. so for myself, i am creating my storyboard for 2009.
