This is definitely way too late. There are a lot of developments and movements past. I don't know if they are still worth writing about, but since the purpose of this blog is to remind me of things and lessons, I should write them.

Romance, Job, Responsibility and Purpose.

Prospects:

I could almost say I hate romance. It is so deceiving.

I notice a lot of ladies that are very pretty and attractive, but I am rather cautious. Everytime I see an opportunity, I remember the act of treachery and unfaithfulness. I wonder if this would end?

Prospects. I sent a message to two friends of mine, and one replied with may prospect. I guess you could say that. Just wondering how they came across that idea.

I am tired of this job. I am not motivated. I feel like a mouse that has finally learned helplessness.

Friends. I mistook good-time friends for true friends. Now, they are nowhere. True friends, not always there, but there when you need them.

Bob Ong lessons that I agree a lot:

From Stainless Longanisa:

You don't have to be good to do good (but you must be good).

From Ang Paboritong Libro ni Hudas (i.e., Libro ng Demonyo, Sinturon ni Hudas):

Believe in God (for a humor book, it does blend serious topics nicely). Appreciate God.

What a feeling I feel. I remember Rick Warren's book, Purpose Driven Life. He mentioned something about being purposeful does not mean being successful. No. It does not even mean that you would necessarily be happy. I wonder if that is what would happen to me.

Master's program. What a problem I have gotten myself into. I am in a probationary status - meaning that I have to get 1.75 GWA for the first semester to stay. That is the first time I have heard of that kind in my life. I mean, I have never been in a master's program, but I never heard of being accepted on a probationary status in the University level, much less in the master's program. The reason is that you are simply either cut for it or not. I feel like that person is simply accepting a lot of people so that they get money, while they fight it out like survival of the fittest. I don't think that is correct. It is actually unfair. Applicants did their best to get into it, understanding that that is the process they will know if they are cut for it. But when they get into it, they are put into a probationary status. It feels like the examiner or the checker was so lazy that he accepted everyone, and let the professors decide who is fit. This is ... I don't know. I don't want to judge.
