These previous days I have to sleep very late at night. I slept around 11PM for 4 consecutive days now.
I feel GOOD and at the same time BAD about it.
GOOD,
because I have finished the first chapter of the story I am creating entitled SPY PRINCESS: THE RICH MAN'S SECRET. Hoping this book will be successful and publish to many who love to read. I want to share my joy with them, at the same time I want to be a great writer and a novelist.
BAD,
because I'm having huge eyebags, and I don't like it. I lack sleep and I want to fulfill it when I'm in class. But of course, I won't do that.
(Yawn!) Lastly, I told myself I will sleep early tonight.
Good night!

When the crazy wheel slows down, where will you be?
I've been thinking a lot lately. And you know what's frustrating about thinking a lot is that oftentimes, I don't come up with specific ideas or conclusions. Sometimes I make new goals, sometimes I have small realizations, but thinking - for me - typically just leads to a stupor of thought, more questioning or more thinking.
But I've seen a lot these past few weeks. And I think, for once, I do have something to say about it.
I've seen friends rise and fall and succeed and fail. And I have done all of those things, too.
It's been a crazy few weeks.
And here's what I've come to find:
Religion is like weight loss. You have to do it for yourself, because you want to, and because it makes you feel good. You don't have to prove anything to anyone and if you believe you DO have something to prove, you're likely not going to be as successful.
Truth is everywhere, and it's okay to accept that and embrace it.
Families are good. It's okay to be patient with them. They need it the most, anyway.
Thinking about where you want to be and who you want to be when you're 65 years old really really really puts things into perspective.
Sometimes you make choices just because. And they may not be the "right" choice or the "wrong" choice - but because it's a choice you already made, you can MAKE IT the right choice. Accept that. And move on.
People matter more than grades. And if I'm ever an employer, I will believe and accept that with all my heart, and hire you even if you didn't graduate college with a 4.0.
There's no reason you can't do what you love. And if you're worried about someone loving you for doing what you love - don't. If someone doesn't love YOU (the you that's doing what you love) you shouldn't be with them anyway.
You should be happy first, and then worry about making money. Because the first option is typically more in your control than the second. And it's more important, too.
-------
And - as my dear friend has been singing in my voice coaching classes from "Chess" - when the crazy wheel slows down, where will I be?
Think about it. When all that is hectic and "important" goes away, what will remain? Who will you be? Is it good? Do you like that person?
I think I'm still trying to figure that out, myself. But it's certainly helped me put things into perspective the last few weeks....

The Priest's Sermon
Yesterday I learned a very good lesson.
We were at our regular Sunday schedule when I "unexpectedly" saw Dela Vega.
Aside from that unexpected meeting, the Antipolo Cathedral Priest also paid a visit to our wonderful church. He was doing some promotion to spread and invite youngsters to go and serve God.
Father Santos, the priest, has a very interesting homily that day. He began by sharing what happened during their lunch at the Cathedral. Another priest told a story of his childhood through a can of liver spread. He told the others how he enjoyed playing different Filipino games and how it filled his childhood memories with a smile. And father Santos wondered why today's youth don't find those things interesting anymore. That PsPs and Nintendo Wiis make up for the word F-U-N. He was asking himself if he was just dreaming or is he really facing reality. Are PsPs worth 20,000 pesos really enough?
We can say that change is inevitable. But are we changing for the good or it's just the other way around? One of the hottest controversies is regarding the reproductive health bill by the government. The priest pointed out his opinion and was kind of unsweetened on the comments they received after opposing the said bill. He asked if the use of condoms to prevent the birth of a child was good, and if premarital sex was considered a "good thing" already.
The priest honestly told us that he would rather stay on the old-fashioned way than being hip and modern at the same time destroying his morality.
Lastly, he asked if God's Ten Commandments also innovated during modernization and that catholic authorities should just throw old one and make a less conservative commandment.
