ready to try a no-impact week?
Chanced upon the No Impact Week challenge on Huffington Post a few days ago. The idea is to live for a week with zero or reduced impact on the environment, based on the year-long experiment by Colin Beavan, known as No Impact Man: HuffPost Green and HuffPost's Eyes & Ears Citizen Journalism Initiative

Italian filmfest at Shang starts on Wed!
Can't believe I've never heard of an Italian filmfest before--to think it's now on its 8th year! Scanned the film line-up, the only one that grabs me is Carvaggio... any other recommendations? The 8th Italian Film Festival October 14 to 21, 2009 Cinema 3, Shang Cineplex, Shangri-la Plaza Mall Free Admission

Our everyday heritage
I'm a big fan of the ordinary. One of the quotes I took to heart since I first read it in college was from the poet, Rilke: If your everyday life seems poor, don't blame it. Blame yourself. You're not enough of a poet to call forth its riches. I love the everyday, the quiet moments... this is why I choose not to give Christmas or birthday gifts anymore, or why I take candid pictures more than posed poised ones.. :)What a lovely surprise then to learn about an upcoming talk by architect Augusto Villalon about the everyday beauty in our dear city! Hope to see you there on Tuesday:
