Back!
Wow. So I’m actually writing my blog again! That could mean two things—that I have so much time in my hands that I’m bored to death, or I have so much stuff in my head that it will kill me. Either way, I’ll be dead. However, this time, it’s for both reasons.
Anyway, let me enumerate these not-so-deep, random thoughts that’s been parading in my mind like crazy in the last 3 hours:
1. Catnaps before bedtime are seeds to insomnia. You know those times when you trick yourself to sleep for five minutes, then promise yourself to brush your teeth after, and then sleep again? Well, the sleep again part doesn’t work for me. Actually, I’m hoping this blog will do the trick–for me, not for you, readers!
2. Why does Pacific Mall get away with selling pirated DVDs? I mean, it would be understandable if some third-world country sell these stuff. Still punishable by law, I should say. But Canada? Selling fake stuff outright? At least Philippines try to hide it…(interestingly, policemen can trace these hideouts, and buy stuff from them too. Tsk, tsk, tsk.) It’s a corrupt world everywhere.
3. A lucrative job was offered to me. It’s the job I’ve always been trained to do. The job I’m supposed to want because I’ve been preparing for it since freshmen college. Why am I willing to throw that all away now? A friend told me he simply wants to have a good job to have the comforts of life. I asked him, why waste money on yourself when you can help others who need it more? He asked me back me why I’m spending all my money in grad school. Isn’t it because it will assure me of a good job and possibly have the comforts of life? I told him I wanted to be a missionary. And that I can have bigger boundaries with my educational background. He then answered in defiance, you can be a missionary everywhere without having to deny the comforts of life. And then he had to hang up. Boy, I should have the last word on that conversation!
4. A good friend is getting married in two weeks! How does one come to that kind of life-changing decision? How can you tell for sure that this person is really that one you are willing to spend your life with? Sometimes, marriage seems like a really scary idea and that celibacy seems a like good ground to fall on. But nah, I don’t think I’m cut-out for that either. Is there anything between marriage and singles-for-life without being promiscuous?
5. Why in the world do I assume that I can read the whole musical history of the medieval to classical period in two days when I just finished reading the romantics in technically four days?
6. How did the Beijing people prepare for that spectacular Olympics 2008 opening? It must be a glorious experience to be a part of those performers! Simply wow. And then I’m speechless.
7. Why do I torture myself with liking someone and not letting him know that actually I do? A lot of people tell me, this is North America! Filipina ways are simply a thing of the past. Even Maria Claras have to do the chasing sometime. Is it really so?
8. I used to think I’m not afraid of heights, and today Casa Loma made me realize that I’m actually terrified of heights. And it’s just Casa Loma! But I conquered Wonderland’s Behemoth last Sunday, and jumped up and down on the glass floor at CN tower while looking down and not feeling nauseated or wobbly or anything. Now I’m confused whether I’m really scared of heights or not. But why should I even bother, right?
9. I am presently freaking out with the schedule I’m going to have this fall semester. I told my cousin, with this crazy schedule, it’s actually advantageous to not have a boyfriend. She told me she has to disagree, at least on my case. That busy schedules have always been my excuse, but not anymore. Unfortunately, I cannot disclose any further information about that on this blog. 
10. I am sleepy. Blogging actually did the trick! Goodnight, peeps! And as they always say it in Pinoy txting, "Tsup, tsup, muah, muah!"
