Elevator

Press for up and press for down

Move around this tower

Do you wonder what's outside,

Face the truth beyond this ride

The camera sees what it sees

Illusions cast false power

Will you move by my side

Eerily smile and try your best to hide

Dance with me, care not about everything

Elevator

Before it halts and you have to go or others come in

Elevator

Press for up and we'll not go down

Listen to machineries sound

Count the seconds, minutes, hours

It must come to an end, a sudden end

Swimming until we can't see land

I have learned through the years that anticipation is not half as exciting as the journey. While it is true that people exhibit different levels of excitement over something, still we all look forward to something—from Pacquiao fights and midnight snacks to new events and directions. We all look forward to something

Yesterday, I started to tread yet another path called grad school. A year-long preparation of prayers, motivation checking, papers and financial management preceded; and although there have been humps and unexpected bumps along the way, finally I am moving on. The desire to pursue graduate studies stemmed from the desire to advance myself academically and, to certain extents, professionally. I must confess that I did not enjoy for a bit my college life on account of myself being the youngest in the class, a prey to the pretentious and brain-washing ideologies of people with unresolved parental issues. So going back to school affords me another opportunity to amend my perception, to embrace character building, learning and challenges. I'm starting over.

My Poetry class got dissolved in the passing of Professor Dimalanta so I was forced to drop it and add Critical Thinking instead. A plethora of philosophical questions greeted me and my classmates.

So many questions. But the more answers I get, the less I know.

People my age often are plagued with situations requiring one to wait. Yoda said "Hard it is to wait. But wait you must see your way revealed."Indeed, slowing the fast is necessary.

I need to learn different methods of cooking other than frying because at some point in my life I know I will be avoiding oil of any kind. Almost two years ago, I made a vow not to eat pork on account of it being unhealthy compared with other meats.

My diet right now, considering my limited budget, consists of canned goods, occasional fruits and oatmeal, and a lot of carbs. Very unhealthy and imbalanced, I know. But I will do amends with my diet soon.

I don't really know why I'm opening up to public concerning my diet. I guess my point is, I want to get better and live and excellent life, maximizing everything that has been entrusted to me. There's so much to explore, and at this point in my life, I have learned to make the most of everything, learn as much and have fun.
