Dreamscaping
Fearless forecast: Most of my salary will go to bookstores. Aside from hunting down highly recommended literature and stocking up on art and teaching materials, windrette and I aim to discover the wonderfully illustrated world of children's books.
As I told another friend this, she told me about Jimmy Liao. I'm still looking for more info, but from the little I've read, he makes illustrated books that appeal to both children and adults. Ever heard of him? Any idea if his books are for sale in the Philippines?

This sounds like something I'd like to do someday. A seamless blend of text and illustration--a hint of poetry told in words and images. A sort of illustrated book that even I would read at this age. Maybe it has the simplicity of The Little Prince, the forlorn quality of Makoto Shinkai flicks, the absurdness of Alice in Wonderland, maybe even the surreal feel of Avid Liongoren's dorwings. Of course, I have a long way from achieving all that, but one can always dream.
I chose my job believing that it is only a nice intermission leading into a grander scheme of things. However, the thought of "eventually" doing clinical assessment is slowly losing its appeal. Maybe colorful classrooms and children's imaginations are my natural habitat.
As of now, it's too early to make a judgment. Beginning next week, the long process of thinking it over begins.
... or maybe my life will figure itself out.
