I'm bored. Well, lately I'm always bored..
While checking my mail, i remembered that my cousin, age 15, has a blog of her own. Since she is a budding journalist, a writer at her school newspaper, I decided to check it out. I was a little surprised when I saw her pink blog for it replicates exactly how she talks. It was entertaining and funny. Making me recal how it was when I was 15.
It starts with the usual "love dilemmas" or trying to find an answer to the question "why". I guess when you're older, you're supposed to have experienced most of the cases yourself. Or you see someone else that have gone through with it. I can say I am emotionally-challenged. I only have one partner, with a large possibility of being my first and last, making me unaware of how other boys think. For case number two, my friends are all good girls from happy families and most often than not, make correct decisions. I can't even answer her questions!
There were the usual school happenings, the organizations, and her family. I remember how petty some arguments were, and how nice it would be nice to have a blog back then. Practice writing and sharing ideas with friends would be easier. Although having a diary is much more private. You can write everything, but there is always a danger of somebody reading it. Blogging is about the extension of yourself that you are willing to share with others, like a safe diary.

Another day of site meeting has passed. This is not something I look forward to especially when the end-user constantly asks what was the original design. Why it was not implemented and how can the proposed design be altered in some way - again!. It seems that my muscles are expecting to flinch any time during the inspection. My mind on the other hand, works overtime to defend the office and the design. Sigh...

Here's my favorite pic of all time. Makes me smile whenever I see this.

Taken during my first birthday party. Luckily I was heavy enough or the balloons might have carried me away!

"Miss, you look familiar. I think I saw you before" a cute guy smilingly asked.
"I don't think so... My face is quite common. Really, people ask me that all the time"
"No, I really think we've met before. And no, your face is not common. It stands out actually. Where did you study?" he insisted
I mentioned my highschool first, we probably met there...
"But you live some where here right?"
"Yes, a few blocks away... I went to school in ILS when I was in elementary up to Grade 5" and the reason why is not something I want to discuss.
"Really! Me too!"
So I guess that's it, that's where we saw each other.
"How old are you?"
"27, you?" are we to discuss our teachers and fellow classmates now?
"What? I thought you're only 22!"
Yeah right!
"I'm 22, graduating this year. So I guess we did not see each other that time then."
Yup, 5 years difference is a big deal during elementary. I don't know and even pay any attention to preschoolers... Gosh am I that old?
"Hmn... well I did teach first year drafting in high school when I was in college?" "Maybe you know people that I have taught?" I asked helpfully,
"Hey now I remember you! I'm part of your class! I'm Gem"
"Woa! Wait, you were just a little kid! You've grown! (plus put on all those muscles I said secretly on my mind). I remember you got the highest mark in one excercise that I gave...."
And we talked away...
"You have'nt changed! I really thought you're only 22!"
"Stop it, I already gave you a good grade!"

My goal is to be an expert food estimator. And to demonstrate my fast growing expertise, I decided on our menu order for dinner last Sunday. I hate it when there are so many left-over. I feel it is our duty to regulate the quantity of whatever we order so as not to waste anything. To-go food has never appealed to me for the taste of cooked food is so much better than re-heated ones (except for adobo or menudo).
So last Sunday I chose a medium pizza, 1 pasta, and 3 pieces chicken in Don Henrico. This is one of the restaurants where choosing food is one of the hardest things to do because of the serving size and the capacity of our stomach. It's so easy to be "takaw-mata" as we like to call it. Add the stories we tell and the laughter that goes with it makes you easily full.
We took home the doggie bag and 2 slices of pizza! Arrgg! Still not perfect but getting there.

I know that chosing a career path should be something that you enjoy doing since it will most probably occupy the greater part of your life. Being undecided most of the time, Drafting as a subject in high school has been something I surprisingly enjoyed and looked forward attending. I felt so strongly about it that it veered my attention away from taking medicine related courses as my primary choice. I asked fate to lead me to my career path by relying on the first college acceptance.
Now that I've finished the first step, I wonder what I've learned. It seems that I'm still undecided on what to major in my masters degree and I'm on my third year already. Most of the time I don't know half what the teacher's saying, making me more clueless compared to my first year in college. By this time I'm required to think about my thesis, yet I'm still trying to figure out how to pass my INC paper last sem.

I have not been able to make architecture as a lifestyle. Lately I've not read any archi-related books, browsed any design on the web, and designed other that what is required in the office. I did my latest paper not remotely connected to architecture. It's not something I look forward to anymore -- scary!

I am not blessed with a good singing voice. I knew that immediately after noticing my parents prefer my brother singing for family reunions. I think part of the reason they tried to make me play the piano is to prevent me from damaging their eardrums. Nothing came out of that too! But I love music! Any kind actually, just as long as there is a melody. I sing everywhere, my room, the car, in the office (although it's done in whisper where only my seatmate can hear) but always in the presence of somebody who loves me enough to withstand the noise.
I wish I can though... It's very difficult to contain myself from bursting into song when I hear a good one. They really stop to think where the sound is coming from and what crime did they do to deserve hearing it!

Transferring is a hard thing to do. It may be as complicated as transferring to another job or as mundane as transferring files to another computer. Nevertheless, this is another one of those things. I finally had the time to make this move.
