Cheers to the start of something wonderful!





I recently watched the "Julie and Julia" Movie and was inspired by how a simple person changed herself for the better just by committing to do a task that required her time, effort and patience. She may have encountered problems along the way such as the temporary separation from her husband and several nervous breakdowns; but, overall, the journey and the end goal were all worth it.

I created this blog to pay homage to that. But, since I am not an avid fan of cooking, I'll dab into something else - something that's more in my neighborhood and have the knack for it. That's reading books and philosophizing about it! In my 4 years in the Ateneo (and even prior to that), I've always found a soft spot for asking the questions "WHY?" and "How does that relate to me, the society, family, etc.?"

This blog will be about all of those.
The first book on my list is the "MBA In A Book" (edited by Leslie Pockell). I will commit 365 days trying to master (in this case, philosophize) the 328 pages of the MBA in a Book.



I will go through the book page-by-page. And as a general rule, I will not read through the other pages while I'm still philosophizing about a certain page.

Good Luck!! I hope I pull it off.
Looking forward to the great journey and end goal ahead.
