The Jump
Bending at the Knees As of last December, and perhaps even as late as January `02, I did not know that I would be in the US by now. Oh, I was filling out application forms and gathering the requirements for graduate school, but the whole plan to apply and enroll for Fall 2002 had [...]
I’m Bach!
Friends, I’m pleased to announce that Brownpau.com is back online. Thanks to the unbelievably fast network connection here at CyberLaptops, I managed to install MT2, reconfigure my weblog, and reimport my entries — all in less than twenty minutes. There’s a few more kinks to iron out (the leave page seems to have disappeared completely!), [...]
Philippians 1.6
Being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ. – Philippians 1:6
So Far…
Those of you who are just tuning in, here’s what’s up with my life: Two days ago, I arrived in Washington, DC, and am now staying in my uncle’s house in the heart of NW Washington. I’m settling into the groove of life here as I search for a job and a room to rent. [...]
Baby Steps…
It’s a bit hard for me to post to my blog, check my email, or do anything on the web right now, because my uncle’s computer is an old Pentium-90 with a 14.4 modem connected to AOL. I will return to my normal voluminous online self once I have acquired the income to purchase a [...]
Arrived.
Hello. I’m in my uncle’s house in Washington, DC, after twenty-one hours of wearying international travel. Manila to Nagoya to Detroit, then a connecting flight to Reagan Airport. I need some time. I’m in a state of extreme culture shock, and I’m still overwhelmed by the magnitude of the jump I’ve just taken. I keep [...]
Mirror Project… 3?
Sorry if that last post was rather disjointed. Pre-travel transitional angst and late-night packing are not good for the mind. I don’t think I’ll be able to blog a decently coherent entry till after I arrive on Wednesday. While you’re waiting for that, you can enjoy my last two Mirror Project photos: (These are the [...]
Last Day here
I’m posting from home in Greenhills. Mom gave me thermals and Dad gave me sweaters, so I’m warm and toasty. I also stayed up packing last night, and I think my luggage is WAY overweight. I’m not even sure as to how I’m going to drag it down the stairs tomorrow. Today is my last [...]
Goodbye, Old PC!
This is my last weblog entry from the faithful Cyrix P-233 which has served as my PC for the last three years. In ten minutes a missionary from The Flying Medical Samaritans will come by to bring it to its new place of service in the Bahay Kalinga Orphanage, Mindoro Island. (The same place I [...]
Music, Culture, History MA?
Does anyone know of a good postgraduate Humanities course in integrated Music, History, and Culture? The best one I know so far has been this MA at Oxford Brookes, but — calamity! — it just closed down. Are there any similar programs out there, preferably in the UK? (There’s a lady out there who’s looking, [...]
