About Me

my life in pictures: www.flickr.com/photos/lisafelipeperpetual student and day dreamer. neurotic, organized, careful planner, classic type A. funny, loud, and playful. serious and seriously obssessive. recovering nail biter. the one who reminds friends to bring a jacket. rowdy barfly when not feeling lazy or tired. shoe, jewelry, purse and pen fanatic. favorite place: in bed watching movies with charlesianbucton.

sula (anything by morrison), east of eden, rolling the Rs, dogeaters, beckett plays, the wretched of the earth, illuminations. special mentions: irigaray's SPECULUM---even crazier with a cup of coffee and fionna apple playing in the background.and fanon's WRETCHED with an arsenal of illegally gotten arms, flowers and a shrink's couch. this one i actually haven't tried, but seems to make sense.

Heroes:

"Makapangyarihan ang puwersa ng nasyonalismo. Nakapagbubunsod ito ng malaking pagbabago sa buhay ng isang indibidwal at sa kalagayan na rin ng isang bayan. Nasa Ikatlong Daigdig tayo, ang daigdig ng mga bansang ginaga ng mga kolonyalista, na bagamat sinasabing malaya na, ay mabuway pa rin ang kalagayan. At sa kanilang mga plano at panukala, minamadali tayo ng ating mga lider na inip nang maisampa ang bayan sa ganap na kaunlaran. Subalit kung walang matibay na puwersang magbibigkis sa mga mamamayan, hindi sasapat ang matatayog na gusali at walang duluhang mga expressway at mga mall na ang sisikip sa mga mamimili at mga bilihin, upang gawing matatag ang bansa. Ang kailangan ay pananalig na aakay sa tao upang sumugod siya sa walang-katiyakang hinaharap at magtayo roon ng isang baying masagana at Malaya. Tanging ang nasyonalismo lamang ang may ganyang bisa…" ---Bienvenido Lumbera
