Of Endings and Beginnings.
I have been an official bum for nearly forty-eight hours now. And yes, it feels amazing. And I am so happy right now that I am once again blogging. Yay me!
So, that was it. School, for me, has finally come to an end. Technically. Because I'll be going back this week and probably next week for my grades and school clearance. (Grr. I hate dealing with the registrar.) And I'm planning to go back to school again for a masters degree. Planning. haha.
I haven't done any form of celebration yet. I'm saving all the merriment til after my graduation and birthday. Both will happen on the same day anyway, so yeah, I might as well celebrate on one day with a big shindig. And according to my planner countdown, It's exactly forty days til my biggest day of the year. Cool.
Anyway, this post will be long, as if it isn't obvious by now. You see, when school stuff finally ended, I thought in the back of my mind that I have everyday to blog and since I was too busy being a bum, my thoughts got stuck in my mind and now I'm unloading it all in one entry. Uh-uh, I am lazy to create different entries so let me just cram everything in one post. (And yes, I'll be reposting this in my other accounts. I'm that lazy today.)
Friday was officially my last school day. As in the last day I'll be discussing with my friends about school work, filling up a test paper/booklet, and wearing my uniform. I was done with school and my lunch before noon. Talk about nothing to do. And by noon, I heard that one more thing ended: Francis' life.
It's sad. Really. I was just reading his blog Wednesday night. The last entry was about him having to go into chemotherapy for the fourth time. And that was still in January. And oh. I just found out tonight that he was a fellow Bedan. Mendiola Bedan ha.
Wala lang. It's just sad because I was still looking forward to reading his posts and makulit na blogs. But then again, for what it's worth, he deserves it. He has lived his life to the fullest, and frankly, he went through a lot and has fought hard in the past seven months. I guess it's time for him to rest. Nakakaawa na siya, lalo na nung nagkasepsis siya.
Para kay Francis.
And like what Joey de Leon said, "The master rapper has wrapped up to meet his master." I'll miss his blog and pictures though. (Super galing na photog. Promise.)
Ok. Enough about sorrows for someone happy now. I ended Friday with a mass. Woohoo! Ever since this year began, I became a member of our church's choir. (Hi Gaudete! :D) Wala lang. I told you I'm bored. Besides, it's fun. :) So yeah, I attended mass last Friday night. I also think it's a nice way to thank the Lord for those seventeen fruitful school years I had to go through. Haha.
When I got home, guess what? I started my Grey's Anatomy marathon. I got hooked on the series. Actually, this is an old dvd. I had it ever since the first quarter of last year and I never had the interest to watch it. But last Friday I finally did. Eh maganda naman kasi yung series nung napanood ko sa Star World. So I watched about five or six episodes that night. I realized I had to go to church early the next morning for choir duty. After choir duty, I watched Grey's again. And I finished one whole cd. I think there were fourteen episodes left from the night before.
Speaking of Grey's, that got me to thinking. They're surgeons. Or surgeon-wanna-be's for some. I mean, they practically spent a quarter of their lifetime studying. Come to think of it. Six grade school years, four high school years, another four for college, then there's med school and since you don't stop at that, you want to have a specialization, and of course you have to go through internship before getting that specialization. But I guess none of what I ranted about matters to them anyway. That's the career they want. And while watching the show, I got into thinking what career I want to pursue now that I am out of school. (I was talking to my Gaudete friends last Friday and I can't get over the idea that "yung pinili kong course, optional ang trabaho".) I can actually do whatever I want, go down any career path. But since I have a lot of choices on my mind, I have no idea which to choose. Although I'm considering studying again and try getting my childhood dream of becoming an astronaut. HAHAHA.
Time flies. Time waits for no man. Time heals all wounds. All any of us wants is more time. Time to stand up. Time to grow up. Time to let go. Time-Meredith Grey
Oh well. I'm still fresh out of school. It would take time before I finally give up being a bum and start pulling my brains out for lacking things to do. I have this little plan in my mind that I will not apply for a job yet. Savor the days of bum-ness. Basically get tired of lying on the bed til noon and just eating every idle moment I get. Err. That spelled out major weight gain. Whatever. I'll look for a job when I'm ready. It's not that I don't have options, it's just that I want to have some time for myself first, because for sure once I start working, I won't stop. Anyway, sabi nga namin ni Carol kanina, papatapusin muna namin ang swimming season bago magtrabaho. Haha.
And while I'm ranting about jobs, I remember this Friends episode I was watching early this afternoon. The one where Rachel quits. Oh yes. I think the Fear will probably get into me by June that's why I'm sure I have a job by then. Haha. Whatever company I'll be applying, don't ask. You might apply there and get my spot. Haha, talk about selfish.
Anyway, enough about working rants. For the third day in a row, I went to church for choir duty again. (Yeah, Jesus and I are tight. ) By the time I'm done with this blog, I will realize that I am not that much of a bum since I have choir duties and events to keep my hands full. I have practice every weekend and random acts of fund-raising will be done every now and then. This should keep me sane til I find the will to work. And this should be a good reason to keep me from opening my planner, since according to what I've ranted in the past twenty minutes of my life, I have nothing left to do.
And at this point, I think I have nothing else left to write.
Something big just ended in my life. I'm not sure if I'm that excited to begin a new chapter soon. I guess I deserve a break from everything.
Hopefully, the break is enough to push me in a new and good direction.
And oh. After ten freaking months, I'm finally not stressed.
