		<title>Focus</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The other day, one of my students and I were talking about our lack of discipline in general.  Basically, we know there are better things we could be doing, but we get distracted, especially by the TV and the Internet.  And the problem is, these distractions don&#8217;t vanish in 5 or 10 minutes, [...]]]></description>

		<title>In the blink of an eye&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I totally meant to follow up with &#8216;High Gear, Part II&#8217; but obviously things got so busy, I haven&#8217;t posted for 2 months!  It&#8217;s crazy how often I mistake how much free time I have.  Probably cos I love procrastinating ;)  I mistakenly thought that from December, I&#8217;d be able to make [...]]]></description>

		<title>High Gear, Part I</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This week has been a bit crazy for me.  Went for a day-long training session on Tuesday for doing trial lessons for potential students.  My impression of these trial lessons is that, the instructor giving the lesson has to be very expressive, or genki, as they say here.  Not my strong point. [...]]]></description>

		<title>where are you?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[kiapkiap has become so boring. 
I&#8217;m spending so much time on income-generation-related things.
(though with my typical healthy dose of procrastination)
Cannot not do them!
Guess this is what transitions are about.
The Universe has been sending me signs all over the place.
&#8220;Justice&#8221;. &#8220;Strength&#8221;.
1111. 222. 888.
Ok!!! I got it!

		<title>Corteo</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I *think* the story was about some guy&#8217;s funeral from what I gathered, but I wasn&#8217;t really paying attention when they had the narration at the start but it doesn&#8217;t really matter right heh~  I&#8217;ve seen 3 other Cirque du Soleil shows (Saltimbanco, Allegria and Quidam) so far, and this has got to be [...]]]></description>

		<title>The End of Summer</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It must be a sign of aging that time just flies by so quickly.  Can&#8217;t quite believe it&#8217;s already been 3 weeks since my last update.  3 groups of friends have come and gone.  I rearranged my room. Had a bit of retail therapy.  Ate myself silly. Did a few readings [...]]]></description>

		<title>My Latest Love</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Feeling like one of these kids with electronic attachments in 3 Feet Apart right now&#8230; Other than going out for dinner at a nice Taiwanese hotpot restaurant last night, I&#8217;ve been stuck to my computer all weekend.  Why?&#8230;
Evernote(♥♥♥ (3/3))!!!  I&#8217;d known about it from Lifehacker for ages, but somehow I didn&#8217;t take to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Day 4: Yakushima</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ 
Our last day at Yakushima was spent on the beach which was nice because it wasn&#8217;t too crowded.  The only truly irritating thing was the repetitive message about not leaving your things behind and keep the beach clean&#8230; I think it was broadcast every 10-15 minutes or so. Bleah.  
I didn&#8217;t bring [...]]]></description>

		<title>Newsflash (not really)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I think I got tired of updating about the trip hehe, so I took a bit of a break in spite of my resolution to update this more regularly.  So, a bit of quick news&#8230; let&#8217;s see&#8230;
~ Bought an iPhone!  It&#8217;s absolutely lovely.  It&#8217;s currently named pomme-chan.  Haven&#8217;t spent any money [...]]]></description>

		<title>Day 3 &#8211; Jomonsugi, here I come!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yup, the whole point of this trip!  To see the (as yet unknown) 2,000 or maybe 7,000 year old cedar tree, Jomonsugi.  
We arranged for our breakfasts and lunches to be packed and ready for pickup at 5.15 am (yawn~).  We didn&#8217;t realise it, but our bus only took us to Yakusugi [...]]]></description>
