2010 sucks

Just found out one of my friend passed away yesterday -- it was a stroke. The last time I saw her, it was right before I left for Dubai. We were supposed to catch up. We loved her so much.

She was 33 years old. This is so wrong.

2010 | Fresh Start

New Year. Wipe the slate clean. Let it all begin. Again.

2009 has not been a good year for my readings. When it was finally confirmed that I was coming back for good last September, I packed my things in a hurry. I left a lot of things behind -- a lot of books. Amazing how I acquire possession so quickly.

I started reading Mikkel Birkegaard's The Library of Shadows a few days ago. It's translated from Danish, a literary thriller about books and reading.

We'll see how it goes.

RECORDS FOR 2009

1. The Redbreast • Jo Nesbø [translated from the Norwegian by Don Bartlett]
2. Paper Towns • John Green
3. The Shock Doctrine • Naomi Klein
