“Young cat, if you keep your eyes open enough, oh, the stuff you would learn. The most wonderful stuff.” - Dr. Seuss

The year that was.

How swiftly time flies! It’s once again that time of year when the lot of us are busy making “best of” or new year’s resolution lists. As a matter of fact, my Arn and I have this ritual of enumerating highlights of each month by year’s end. (It’s fun, you should try it!).

Anyway. Instead of listing the said highlights here (as if naman you’d be interested to hear about our kitty‘s vaccination last May and other events of the sort), I thought I’d just point you to the definitive 2005 list of lists by the net’s big guys.

peanuts
#6 in DVDTalk’s Top 10 DVD Packaging in 2005. I love Peanuts – the cartoon and the snack d: )

I think I spent over three hours this morning trying to click every link (and their succeeding sublinks) in the abovementioned list and so far, I’ve learned that “Podcast” is the word of the year, that Russell Crowe is surprisingly chatty and not surly at all in his first-ever DVD commentary, that 13 scientific theories do not make sense, that Jack Nicholson isn’t so scary in The Shining *must click*, and that I may be guilty of at least one web design mistake, yikes.

Do share what you’ve learned from it too. :)

ctw book
Change the World for a Fiver: Tippi gave me this beautifully-crafted-and-designed, very inspiring book for Christmas.

This year, I was inspired by a gift from a good friend to take my list of new year’s resolutions to a global context by signing up for We Are What We Do‘s action tracker. As of today, I have completed 26 of the 50 suggested actions and I do hope to accomplish more by around this time next year.

shopping bags
Action #1: Decline plastic bags whenever possible.

What you can do to help won’t cost anything at all: smile and smile back, hug someone, have more meals together… effort-free, right? I hope that by posting the link here on my blog, I’ve somehow inspired you to do a little something to change the world too. :)
