Randomness

Just thought of being vain today. Here are eight random facts about myself...

1. I am named after a character in the Bible. My name actually means "gazelle" or "deer" (yes, the one with antlers). My name is Greek but has a Hebrew translation: Tabitha.

2. My 18th birthday was Wild Wild West-inspired. I didn't wear a gown, instead I wore a Cowboy outfit (with a cowboy hat to match, yee-ha!).

3. I used to be part of the college paper.

4. I feel sad when it rains.

5. I am a super impulsive buyer.

6. My birthday is Cory Aquino's birthday. And Robert Boyle's too.

7. I have trouble getting up in the morning. Believe me, it's AGONY.

8. I thought Ian Veneracion was adorable when I was five years old. God, was I crazy.

Be vain and dedicate this day to randomness. Post something about you!

Student eternally

If you guys are wondering if I have finished my post-grad studies, well, the answer is NO.

I know, I know. I was supposed to finish everything last year, but things didn't go my way and for once I was convinced that the universe conspires for my failure. It's really hard not to know which direction to take, especially when people are constantly breathing down your neck. You tend to try and live up to the expectations that people have set for you, only to realize that these "wonderful things" do not necessarily make you happy.

I sat in my room for several hours. I thought of the situtation I have myself in. No, I do not believe in mistakes, in wrong decisions. There are no mistakes in this life, just lessons. And it's up to you to pick up those lessons and learn from them. It is by learning that you appreciate the value of what you have or what you have been through.

No, I have no regrets. And if I were given the chance to go back to March of 2005, I'd still pick this route among all the other routes that were laid before me. In the two years that I've been in this predicament, I honestly have learned and gained lessons that changed the way I see things and people now. The experience may have been bitter at times, but hey! I'm still doing good. :)

After all, happiness is relative. Being happy doesn't mean everything's perfect. It means you have decided to see life beyond the imperfections. Don't be happy because everything is alright. Be happy because everything sucks but you're still doing fine.

Wow. Thank God for this opportunity to grow.

Drama ito! I am in the lab right now, in senti mode because nobody's here, making important scientific work happen. Later on this day I shall attend another DWTL batch at the Pollock Renewal Center in Ateneo. Grabe, there's just so much to be thankful for!

I must now go back to nerd mode. Duty calls!

Boom!

Yay! Another blog for me! I have decided to put up another blog to, ehem, increase chances of getting moolah. :-)

I tell yah, putting up another blog is no easy task. I had to pick out a design and customize it since I do not want this blog to appear "ignored." I mean, I am a details freak so everything here was carefully done with oh-so-much love. It's really a tedious job!

Things here are actually some stuff from my other blog, which has been around for a while. However, I might post entries only to this blog and not to the other one, so please do check this site out from time to time. Give your love to this baby that needs precious attention... NAKS!

Why Crazy / Beautiful? Aside from the movie title that bears these two words, it basically describes how I am with people I am comfortable with: I am superfluously crazy that it shows a unique kind of beauty... a unique side of me. I guess it's time to unleash a little of that craziness inside me and share it with you people. *insert cheezy awwww here*

Oh, enough of the drama. Thanks for dropping by, and welcome to my new site ;-)
