Bits and Pieces

Ok so I'm back from Mars but I'm still in hell. In taking the time off from doing what I'm supposed to do today, I logged on and will pour out bits and pieces of well anything and anything. So here goes...

Mt. Apo

I haven't finished writing the super lengthy post on last first week of April's summer climb and here I am planning to go up the 'Grandfather of Philippine Mountains' again this May to participate in a garbage collection endeavor to clear the mountain of the 'leftovers' from people who call themselves mountaineers. I'll try my best to finish the writeup soon and hopefully I won't be a bore. Oh and the picture are still subject to editing. I like putting annotations and a sig to them so I guess the picture would come way later than the writeup.

Congratulations Graduates

After how many laborious years you've now finally come to the time when you can smile and say "Thank God I/we made it!" My sister is now a Nurse, another hurdle to go in the form of the licensure exams and she will be a Registered Nurse. Good for her.

Some of my buddies took nursing as a second career. They wanted me to tag along but I know in my heart that I will not make it because 1] you can't make me do endless memorization of steps that must be demoed to the clinical instructor; 2] I hate all those thick international edition textbooks that my sister used to leave lying around the house and 3] I can't draw body parts, bacteria, virus heck I can't even draw a human stick figure to my own satisfaction.

Manny Pacquiao

After winning his last fight, I wondered how it was going to affect the political landscape of General Santos where he is running for Congressman. I've seen and heard his answers to press conferences and interviews with regards to his candidacy I'd say he wants to reach out. My opinion is that though his heart and his intentions may be pure, politics should be left to those who have the experience and the knowledge to survive it's cutthroat world. I have heard comments like, "He will not be corrupt because he is already rich." I'm not saying he's gonna be one someday but being rich does not stop any person from wanting to acquire more. I wish that he didn't run because I don't want a slaughter of an innocent happening.

Work

Thoughts of resignation are constantly creeping in my head. The workload is sapping me of energy I could hardly cope with studies and personal life. I'm doing the workload of two persons so you can't blame me if I'd complain. I'm human so I feel the way most humans do, that is get tired. Physically exhaustion can easily be remedied with well sleep, proper diet, time management, and exercise but if you're like me whose feeling emotionally and mentally drained, you'd lose interest with your work too. Good thing I have a wonderfully gawdawful long summer vacation, so let's just see how that changes my mind.

How I feel today

Two things. I feel sad and struggling with one of my insecurities.

Two days ago I heard the saddest news ever. I won't elaborate but it did leave me feeling sooo unhappy and distracted that I couldn't concentrate on the movie I was watching. I still feel the effects of that news. And what am I whining about? I should be thankful that one of my prayers already has an answer. Well, I'll still live to see another day.

Last night I heard that some of my companions from the summer climb gossiped to another trusted friend that I'm weird for their taste and some things not worth writing. It did make me feel disappointed. Right now I'm struggling with an insecurity that I've always had, acceptance. I mean how can I be accepted. How am I supposed to act in front of them for them to not reject me? If I don't act myself I'd be labeled pretentious and if I do act the way I am, I'm weird. On the other hand I could be worth something because they noticed my weirdness and it bothered them. I guess that is something to celebrate.

For my blogs

I still don't know what song to play next or from what genre and I do hope I'd get around to changing the layie soon. The only thing doing as of the moment is to update all the other blogs that I have. *Sigh* So many blogs, how selfish of me. *winky winky*

So there I feel relieved. I always feel this way after keying in the last period of a writeup. Cheerio!

Updated 04.23.07 : Changed my earworms to Pinoy Rock this time. Two songs from my ultimate favorite Pinoy band, Eraserheads and a song each from Moonstar88 and Sugarfree. Refreshing, ayt!?
