Spaced Out, Yet Again

At the midst of all the talk about the Eight Beatitudes and the meek who shall inherit the earth, I was on my own little paradise again. In the 30-second duration of roaming around the familiar paths of day-dream land, I thought about adoption.

Yes, I thought about adopting a child by 24. It's odd, but I just wanted to get it out there just in case na gawin ko talaga, at least may babalikan akong babasahin...

Tipong -- ahhh.. matagal ko na pala tong plinano-- parang ganun.

Hehe. Anyway, update lang yun for today.

Syempre, sinabi ko sa mom ko, kasi hindi ko mapigilan... lagi na lang ako nagkakamali ng move. Paalala niyo nga saken na wag sabihin sa mom ang mga plano sa life. Lagi na lang kontra, e. What's wrong with adopting ba before I marry... AND WHAT'S WRONG WITH ADOPTING IN GENERAL?!...

All I can about it is, whatever "side-effects" there are with adopting-- coincidences lang yun... it's not effing proven... it's pure luck. You could either get a Ted Bundy, the serial killer, (who I don't think was really adopted, but he probably was... must research) or a Steve Jobs, the technology mogul.

Re-cap from yesterday and then some

Debate? Check.

So we had a pretty good turn out at the debate. No one won, but I felt that I lost a lot.

Well, aside from the unfortunate fact that I always feel bad or guilty with whatever I do, I also hate arguments and I hate it when I don't have the option to stay quiet. Being quiet just gives me the sense of security, and lessens my chances of committing mistakes.

Yes, this is a bad case of paranoia. And, yes, it is a bad habit to remain passive. It's not that I don't care, though. It just seems that way because I don't say anything. But when I'm asked, I say what I think. I just can't form the ideas when placed on the spot. Also, I am neither focused nor eloquent.

Ok, enough of my putting myself down again section.

Let's now go on to some news:

I heard some stuff about a Gen. McCarthy on the news. According to what I understand so far, he is one of the commanders (or probably the top commander) of the troops in Afghanistan. He was pulled out to attend something (I guess an important meeting) in Washington, D.C. The issue that he is in involves insubordination. Apparently, he went against V.P. Biden about something (or said some disrespectful things). Well, the verdict is not out yet, but people say that it would be a case of insubordination therefore he might get replaced.

My opinion: None. I don't have enough information to come to a conclusion.

Big news!!! [My] South Korea team got in the final 16 (with the help of Argentina, of course). SK had a draw with Nigeria. It was a thrilling game, and it would have been a clean game, if only the players didn't do much drama. I would say that Nigeria would have won the Emmy's for this one. I always thought that SK played clean, but I think I saw some acting here and there as well (I might also be wrong).

My opinion: It's sad that I wasn't able to watch the game. I was checking the scores every 10 minutes or so on ESPN.com while waiting for work to end, and while studying for my debate. I was also hoping for a win there, but I'll take a draw. If Greece had won yesterday... Korea would not have had a chance. Argentina had 6, Greece had 3, Korea had 3, and Nigeria had 0. Every win costs 3 points, draw 1, and lose 0. So, in the end, Korea had 4, Argentina 9, and Nigeria didn't exit with none.

Now, I have two teams to root for in the finals. Argentina and SK. One more team to go--GO TEAM USA! Btw, they're playing today. As far as I know, they've been going on for 10 minutes now... Sadly, I'm at work, my dad's at work, and my mom doesn't have the slightest interest in it.

Glad to have ESPN.com. Technology can be useful sometimes :)

Well, that's it for now. I have to stop slacking and get on with my work. Currently, I have unidentified pictures right here, and I'm figuring out the names and dates... Tedious, but kind of necessary.

Best wishes,
M.

That to which is what the meaning of life is... a.k.a. I need to clean my room

Tomorrow is the day of my group's debate in my philosophy class.
Exciting? Yes. Why?

Well, after that, it's almost a stress-free PHI for me. Plus the fact that it is also my last week of full-time library work-study assignment... Ahhh... 6 weeks went by just like that. Isn't it amazing how days fly by.

Well, next week, I have 2-3 days left of work, just to make up for the hours that I lost in the 6 weeks. (Sayang din yung extra minimum wage income... ;-p )

I was going to blog about things that are more serious than this, but I guess my mind is not working. And at times I think clearly--I do other more productive things like: homework, games, movies, cleaning my room...

Speaking of cleaning my room. I did it once this month! My room was amazing, people!
My room wasn't that tidy for MANY months.
Well, a tidy room only lasts so long for me...
MY ROOM IS BACK TO NORMAL.

Clothes, papers, mail, magazines on the floor and on the bed--everywhere... a disaster to you, but normal to me.

That's it for today... Gotta prep for my debate. Wish me luck, people who actually read this...

--hype is not my style {@

Feedback to Previous Entry

Okay, I just read my last blog again, and all I can say is I could barely remember writing that entry. Funny.



It's a pretty good reflection, though.



Now to give my feedback on my soul-searching:



Yes, I have been researching schools, and I have been going to different websites back and forth. I have also invaded discussion boards and forums (like there is a difference between the two).

So anyway, I haven't found the school that I definitely like, and if I did like the program, I don't have the funds for it. So, I decided, again, to put off the med school for a couple of years, just enough time so I could save some money. But I did find some interesting information.

I found out that physicians are definitely in demand. It's a shame.
I'll post all about it next entry if I have enough motivation to do so.

Ciao for now, though.
