the end of liberties...
In four days, medical school will officially start. YEY! (booo!)
On the whole I am eager to start classes. The month-long vacation I had was well-spent as far as I am concerned. It was day after day of mindless activity i.e. Internet, DVD's, movies, dinners, mga labas, outings... Turning my brain off is paying its dividends very well. :D Not that I am falling apart as with before; forgetting-the-car-key, and the money-in-the-ATM incidents. These past few days has simply been...
... boring. Just the way I like it. hehe...

As we grow old past our prime, there will be a time when we will feel insecure. It was as if the next generation has grown up so fast, and that we are being pushed aside even before we felt we have done what we set out to do. I pray that they, those who will be succeeding us, understand our apprehensions as we go down hill. But it is as much my wish when we do grow old that we keep our minds open. When we are able to do so, we should extend the roads and keep it as smooth as possible. Then, when we are no longer able to, we should at least keep the road clear, and wider than when we first went through it.

You read too much into a single event. It is true that you can learn plenty from lone examples but it is by no means sufficient to make conclusions, much less correct ones. Guarded by fear and uncertainty, there is no way to escape it but to face it. Try it out. You have nothing to lose, only experience to gain. Do not use altruism as a defense. Inside you know that you are only being careful; it is your self that you serve, and no one else.
