Shall I settle?

This question has been on my mind for quite some time now. I've set goals and timelines all my life and these were the paths that my life has been strictly following.

No one pushed me to do things that I don't want to do, no one has set my life for me, and no one has ever pushed me to change.

This year, I started to doubt my life choices. I will be closer to 40 and yet I feel my life is not where I want it to be. The outcomes of my choices used to be heading to the result that I wanted, but for the past two years, it hasn't been that way. I've pushed myself to the life I dreamt of but poor choices drifted me further away. Being inspired to achieve things are no longer there. I am just letting the waves bring me wherever it lead me.

So I am asking myself, shall I settle?

Foreign Language

I am native Tagalog Speaker and my 2nd language is English. I learned English from school and is mostly used in our country.

My goal is to be able to learn other foreign language such as:

1. Japanese

2. Korean

3. French

4. Spanish

I have started a few basics with these languages. Hopefully, i can learn this.

I miss school....

Are you like me? I like being in school. I miss the days when I do my homework and study for exams. There were times I wish I can do it again.

Today, I was watching a vlog about this high school student being nervous about her forthcoming exam. I just realized, I never experienced that kind of pressure in school, from high school till my graduation when I got my degree. It was all easy for me. The thing is, it is also not good that it was easy. 

Towards high school graduation, I didn't really have a choice on where to get my degree. Yes, I took entrance exams at different universities, but I was already decided to continue my studies in a certain state university. When I passed the entrance exam of the university of my choice, I didn't bother with the others anymore.  

During the enrollment period, I also have one choice of degree but due to demand, I was not able to make it. They stopped accepting students because the slots were already full. It was a long day for me and no other degrees were of my interest, I just sign up for any other degree that will not take too much of a time and I can go home right away. 

Due to my obsession with finishing university by the age of 21, I didn't make any huge changes in four years. I didn't shift to another degree because that will extend or add another semester or worst another year. Everything was easy and I was not prepared for what is coming. In the end, I graduated with a degree I didn't really like. 

Maybe in the future, I can go back and study again. I really love studying.

Why studiousalarm?

One Sunday afternoon, I decided to log in to my tumblr account. It has been a while since I visited my profile let alone post something.

The first thing I did was to make a lot of changes. I changed the pink layout to a much simpler white layout, change the domain and the blog title to studiousalarm. 

So why studiousalarm? Nothing special really. Studiousalarm is my gaming profile. Instead of using my real name, I started using this when I was creating my Xbox profile. Xbox suggested using this username with a number, but I didn't adapt the username with the number on my other gaming accounts. Since then, I started using this on different profiles whenever I don't want to use my real name. I am honestly not creative when it comes to usernames, I tend to forget them right away.

Most of the time I wonder if my other dog is a dog or a human

[studiousalarm]

Hey human, we're so tired. Are we done moving? We had a long day and my paws are not used to this

[studiousalarm]

Been moving houses lately, my dogs have been so confused 😕.
