Deadlines

My project deadline's nearing, and I'm nowhere near the halfway mark yet. I think I need another miracle, as always. It has always been like this. I take on projects I have absolutely no idea how to pursue, economic circumstances do not permit me to say no to projects, especially foreign ones. Going to Quiapo and a quick prayer in the historic 400-year old Church always helps, especially when brilliant ideas do not make its way into my brain yet and when I hit brick walls when I try to look for credible sources and specific statistical data. Worse part is when I'm facing a blank monitor screen to write a 50-60 page report, in like, three days!.

Think positively, only imagine happy thoughts, I can almost picture a group of self-help gurus in all-white angel ensemble outfits consisting of Oprah, Kahril Gibran, Deepak Chopra and other perky self-help experts advising me on this, in vain :)

Currently listening to Sergei Rachmaninoff's monumental Piano Concerto no. 3, with Yefim Brofman on the Piano and Valery Gerghiev and the all-male Vienna Philharmonic in a concert in Tokyo, on youtube.
