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<\/a> and I have this ritual of enumerating highlights of each month by year’s end. (It’s fun, you should try it!).
\n
\nAnyway. Instead of listing the said highlights here (as if naman<\/i> you’d be interested to hear about our kitty<\/a>‘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<\/a>. <\/p>\n

\n#6 in DVDTalk’s Top 10 DVD Packaging in 2005<\/a>. I love Peanuts – the cartoon and the snack d: )<\/span>
\n
\nI think I spent over three hours this morning trying to click every link (and their succeeding sublinks) in the abovementioned list<\/a> and so far, I’ve learned that “Podcast” is the word of the year<\/a>, that Russell Crowe is surprisingly chatty and not surly at all in his first-ever DVD commentary<\/a>, that 13 scientific theories do not make sense<\/a>, that Jack Nicholson isn’t so scary in The Shining *must click*<\/a>, and that I may be guilty of at least one web design mistake, yikes<\/a>.
\n
\nDo share what you’ve learned from it too. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

\nChange the World for a Fiver<\/b>: Tippi gave me this beautifully-crafted-and-designed, very inspiring book for Christmas.<\/span><\/p>\n

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

\nAction #1: Decline plastic bags whenever possible.<\/span><\/p>\n

What you<\/i> 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<\/a> here on my blog, I’ve somehow inspired you to do a little something to change the world too. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
