.Crazy.Serious.

What you see is not always what you get.


It has been a while since my last update. There were just too many things I needed to finish in school. The toxicity level almost went up as high as, uh, an overdose of an effective 'depressant'. It was like trying to keep my head afloat the fast current. But a big YAY! I survived.


First things first, my sister topped eight in the recent Pharmacy Licensure Exam. (Like, yeah so?) HAHA!


That's a 5-minute standing ovation for her! We were all so happy and so ecstatic. She was still so high on it when it started wearing off on me but it was her day so I was not going to kill her joy.^_^ My parents went to visit us that weekend (the results got out last Friday?).


We went to visit our mom's friend and our lola (actually our lolo's sister). Everywhere we'd go, my mom would always talk about how Ate Avi's topped the the boards and start sharing her story. Sometimes the story's all mixed up but that's just our mom. She has the tendency to do that. It adds to her charm!^_^


Maybe the only thing I don't like about the news is that now my mom's so fixed about me taking MedTech Boards! Argh. Now the pressure is on me.*_* I don't want to take that freaking exam. It's scary. (Yeah, so what if I'm a scare-dy cat?) And he's going to take that, too. I think.


Anyway, I still have 3 more years to work on that. So I'll be chilling for the meantime.


So there's something that's been bugging me for quite a while now - okay, so maybe 3 days.
The fact that I don't know which is better among the following gives me the creeps.

1. Being a jack of all trades yet a master of nothing or
2. To be a master of one thing but ignorant of anything else.


I once said in my previous post that I want to be the 'medieval' character or, as what Freddie Prince said in his show, a renaissance woman. I want to be good at everything. But I also said in my other posts, that I want to be known in a certain field. I want to be an instigator of something radical that will be my legacy.


I want to have the best of both worlds. I want to do those two in this lifetime. But I can't help thinking that successful people didn't really have the first. They were too absorbed with their only 'hobby' and didn't have time for others. And I think that is the reason why they are so darning successful.


I haven't had time to really ponder on this. But so far, I have yet to reconcile this with my plans and dreams.


Argh, I'm twisted. *At least I am not talking about him anymore, huh?*

Vacation is just at its peak!

Surfing in La Union is so much F.U.N.!!

I am slowly learning what and how to prioritize things.

I am becoming proud of my study habits (or are they habits?) Before, I would almost never stop reviewing for the exams even if I have already gone through it a couple of times. I did this because I always thought that being from the province, I had to exert twice the effort city students did. I also thought that I would fail if I didn't. So studying was the main priority in my life.

Now, I realized that it was abnormal to do this. Normal students would go do other stuff after studying. They'd go out and have fun.

Now, I can go out and have fun without worrying about my studies. I want to be the medieval person. I want to be good in everything. (Or at least know about them.)

I want to experience life to its fullest. That is why I resolve to set my priorities as straight as it could be.

Although I am not yet used to the new study 'habit', I will master this. Haha!

Life is too short to waste on studying. Life is not about growing up, it's about having the time of your life every minute. You should not waste any minute doing something you don't want to do. If you want to bum around, then bum as much as you can! But then again, you have to also realize that you are wasting precious moments you could have used for more fruitful and satisfying things.

I love living life.

That is what's important.^_^
