Project 365-6
I posted this photo on my Facebook account, with the caption “What is wrong with this picture?”
Consider a building with a few broken windows. If the windows are not repaired, the tendency is for vandals to break a few more windows. Eventually, they may even break into the building, and if it’s unoccupied, perhaps become squatters or light fires inside. Or consider a sidewalk. Some litter accumulates. Soon, more litter accumulates. Eventually, people even start leaving bags of trash from take-out restaurants there or breaking into cars.

Project 365-5
My Dad gave me this videocam, which he bought in 2008 because he and a friend went to Hong Kong Disneyland and he wanted to document the trip. He never used it again after that. It had been sitting in his closet, dark and forlorn when he finally, late last year, decided to hand it over to me.
My two centavos worth
If you have a nice looking 10-peso coin, one with no dings, dents or scratches, one that you’d consider a keeper, then put one away for posterity. Soon all traces of Andres Bonifacio and Apolinario Mabini, the last of the national heroes except for Rizal and Aguinaldo, will be gone from our currency. They’ve already put both on just one coin, right after they squeezed these heroes into the now extinct 10-peso bill.
Project 365-2
My husband is away for the week and this has become my beside companion while he is away. I work on it, watch movies on it, hook up an x-mini speaker so I can listen to my mp3′s on it. I chat with my friends when I can and update my facebook all on this machine, which I fondly call Newton.
Project 365 Commencing
What better time to start a Project 365 than on an auspicious day, a day I can never forget, my wedding anniversary?
To be honest I’ve never trusted myself on a long-running project. I like to finish things fast and put them away as soon as I can. A project 365, however, needs commitment and perseverance. And what the heck, if I can’t get commitment and perseverance out of me now, I don’t know when I can.
