Notes

The thing that's stopping me from taking the step into the abyss is the public scrutiny. I was right, it happened to a friend, a beautiful one at that. If they don't find anything to malign, they will look for one. But then I get to thinking, isn't everything we do, done in public anyway? Whether we ride the train, or talk or eat? You just don't become the subject because you're not projected on tv.
A lecture is (usually a parent's) a way to prevent a mistake before you make one. If you can learn a lesson without making the mistake, wouldn't you be better off?
Since Twitter is down...I'll post over here. It's been a looong time!

Hi, Carissa!

Actually, I googled your name and found out you had a Friendster account...But since I have RC.net [Roman Catholic.net] as an internet provider, it denied me access to this site. I don't have access to MySpace either ....Anyway, it was just randomly and by 'luck' that I came to this site....I figured, since Lea Salonga has one, Carissa might have one in Multiply as well. Your website below is awesome! I've visited it many times before. I'm an incurable book worm and I have to say your writing is so refreshing!

Hello, romanza2005,I still don't know how to get around multiply so I couldn't find how to reach you by PM. Anyway, thanks much! It's my 1st book. :)

Hi, Carissa! I have the Filipinas Magazine, August issue and your book, SURREALITY is listed under Fil-Am Studies. Thinking of getting it as it has great reviews. Oh my goodness -I see that you're only 25! So hopefully, there will be lots more books to look forward to! How many books have you written and what are their titles? I'm a book worm and am into Filipino culture. Thanks!

Darling daw siya ng Fil community in NY. She's a darling in my heart too. Carissa is wonderful, period!

Keepin' it real. Cynical generation = cynical filmmakers.

A friend tonight told me about his observations in terms of this generation's movie genre. Fairy tales began in cartoons. Romantic comedies used to follow a formula: Sixteen Candles, Pretty in Pink, Breakfast Club.&... more

The Nanny Diaries

Like the museum diorama styles. But it would have been a lot better if they casted a more chamring lead than Scarlett and a more defiant antagonist than Laura Linney. And, why do these leads/women always have to end up with such a handsome, preppy... more
