I have always maintained that unless the agenda is taking over the whole length and breadth of Asia, no meeting should take more than an hour.

Sakto na ang traynta minutos - unless the meeting is more interesting than Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky.

here's the picture of one of my favorite authors - i could endure a meeting until five in the morning if he's the speaker or guest.

Aha! So now my impressions of you aren't really that far off the mark. Geek! Bookworm! (I could go on with this name-calling, but you haven't even answered that earlier advice I gave - that you go out and watch leaves change color. hahaha) The HSS library introduced him to me, through Crime and Punishment and The Brothers Karamazov. I learned of his Notes much later, while writing for the student publication during college.

I read the Brothers Karamazov for 40 days. Then I wept.  :'(

Your tears come too easily, boy. Soon, son, I will show you how to be as sturdy and hardy as Cossacks who have seen forty winters.

Try daw basa ni Toni Morrison. Paets. Murag lahi ang gilagputan ani na talk. Murag reading recommendation naman ni.

I do, Chin. But snakes populate our campus. Ask Paul.  :(

Why does it always take people 40 days to finish something? In Noah's case, it rained for 40 days and 40 nights. Moses stayed in Mt. Sinai for 40 days. Jesus suffered in the desert for 40 days, too.

I rest my case.

I have Toni Morrison's Beloved and three of her other books.

But I rarely read women. :) But I will, Chin, when you release your first novel. That is, after Nadine Gordimer.  8)

Murag layo na bitaw ta ug gikalagputan ani. Mangita ta ug laing pantalan.

It was an accidental 40 days. NO relationship, whatsoever, with biblical times and events. :)

After that, I started a life with the Chronicle and enrolled in HNU's College of Law. Note: The library was too small to accommodate my panghuy-ab.

lol meetings is boring, esp if long meetings with no breaks, they should know how to cheer up the listeners so they would not end up talking and listening at the same time  ;D

Books? I read but always start and didn't finish, or I start at the ending first  ;D

Have you seen the TV series Alias?

The way they conduct their meetings is very superb!

While not exactly talking about taking over the whole breadth and length of Asia, but planning how to penetrate a tightly guarded fortress halfway across the world, retrieve a highly secured artifact, and get out without being noticed, their meeting took no more than 40 seconds.

That's the kind of meeting I want to be in. Everybody is ready and prepared way before the meeting is called. and yes, there were no arguments.
