Oh my gosh I am so old... I'm in my 5th year?!?!

First of all, congratulations to my dear batchmates and friends Raymond Sanga and Domini Robledo for their wonderful recitals! (Raymond had his 2nd undergrad recital on the 8th, and Domini had her first recital on the 11th)

This is it. My second-to-the-last sem. Suddenly I am forced to think deeply/seriously about my future, because everything will change after two sems. My Moleskine journal is filling up rapidly with pages and pages of hastily scribbled thoughts, random scenarios and to-do-lists with titles like: "What I see myself doing 1year/ 3 years/ 5 years/ 10 years from now..."

That said, I am fully determined to make the best out of my last two semesters in U.P. CARPE DIEM! is my motto.

Live joyfully. Laugh loudly. Love deeply. And sing as I've never sung before.

  3. hehehe. tell me all about it. been there, done that. Just do whatever makes you happy. Ika nga ni Mark Twain (quoted from rina's blog):

    "Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didnt do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."

    cheers!

  4. Good way to think! :D

    Gah, I should think of getting myself a Moleskin (yes--still envious!), maybe it would help me with my life's goals!

    Carpe diem, indeed!

  11. Hi Cass! Haha, the "graduating student" blues... we all get 'em. It's going to be more intense in the last sem diba? Haha. I don't want to leave UP... and yet, I can't wait to graduate. Weird.

  12. Thanks Kuya! What a wonderful quote. I shall type it in big, flowery script... print it on nice colorful paper and hang it in my room.

    On second thought... I'll just write it down in my Moleskine journal. :)

    Will be sure to blog about my wild escapades (if I have any... hehe)! Take care!

  15. Patrick it is I who should be saying this to you. I don't think you're aware of how many people look up to you... you know what you truly want in Life and you're not afraid to take the (often painful) steps necessary to ensure that you Live your Dream. Looking forward to sampling one of your culinary works of genius in the near future! And yes, of course I will invite you!?!?! *hug* miss you
