A Video, A Tag, And A Book Read
For a moment there, I think I lost interest in blogging because I discovered that there's such a thing as YouTube where anyone anywhere could post his own video for the whole world to see! I may be too late for this discovery, but I still signed up and for the past week, I have edited three videos in a row! Filming is such an addictive past time that right now, I already have a list of projects in mind, including an ambitious documentary of our family history.
Here's one video I made using Magix Movie Edit Pro 10, featuring our San Diego trip last weekend. But I couldn't convert the file to MPEG, hence the pixelated graphics. Enjoy the short clip anwyay!

Okay, you are not forced to do this, but I'd be glad if you will.
I finished reading 100 Years of Solitude today, and it took me a hundred years of struggle to get to the last page of that novel! Sheesh...I won't say I liked it. It was boring, confusing, and too intellectual for me to take. First, the characters are given almost the same names which made it confusing; second, Garcia's vocab is so high-falluting; third, you had to look deeper for meanings and symbolisms to fully appreciate the story. That, I must admit, is what I hate about literature.
The only thing that kept me holding on to it was that people everywhere are saying that it's a must read, that it's a book the whole human race shouldn't miss, and that it's earned a Nobel. But I really don't see the point. Sorry na lang sa fans.
