WARNING: Do not expect this entry to have the slightest bit of coherency.
I've finally figured out (by myself!) how to change the background. May not be much but hey, it's a start.
Ah, super stressed these past few days! And what's funny is that I'm not AS stressed from doing too much as I am from thinking too much. As many people know, thinking too much is the root of paralysis, which pretty much explains my current state. I am scared I might not fulfill all my obligations so I keep looking for distractions and admittedly, this blog thing is my latest one. What's bad is that this paralysis causes me to be more scared, more unable to fulfill my tasks and so you do the math. It's a vicious cycle. I admire those people who can go on and on with their daily tasks and not feel the slightest bit tired. Or those who never feel like they're missing out on anything.
Anyway, this morning I took dose of Time magazine, to alleviate any guilt I have for being unproductive. At least I can say I read the news today. So there's this article about the recent controversy regarding Jylland Postem, the Danish newspaper that published 12 caricatures of Mohamed, 11 of which the Muslim community found problematic but not half as offensive as the last one, which showed Mohamed with a turban bomb. I can go on and on about this but my main point is this: these European publications are so arrogant as to think that they can invoke the freedom of speech as an excuse for inciting racial hatred. The stupidity of some people is amazing. After this, I went about my day (went to Theo class and then to History to watch "Batas Militar")
To further distract myself, I went out with Deric to eat at Heaven and Eggs earlier this evening. Since my parents are all the way in the United States and won't be back till the end of Febuary, I've been semi-free to do whatever I want this past month. I am enjoying it to the fullest. I've been driving ALONE, and I've even gone clubbing with Berna. Of course I know my limits, but it won't hurt to have fun a little bit when they're gone. On normal days, there's too much school work that there's no time for anything else but dinner with Deric. Still though, it's much appreciated. I love Heaven and Eggs' mixed seafood curry. Hmm.. makin' me hungry all over again.
I love food, I was thinking if I wasn't a Comm Major aspiring to be a lawyer, I'd probably be a cook or a wine connoisseur. I'd want my own vineyard all the way in California. I'd ride my horses everyday while doing my daily task of picking - uhm - grapes and making wine. If not, maybe I'd be a host of a cooking show like that of Nigella Bites on Lifestyle Channel. That'd be the life. Too bad table wine, red wine and white wine ALL taste the same to me. As for being a chef, I can honestly say I'm not half as good in cooking as I am in eating.
I cannot wait for this semester to end! I just want to lie down, do nothing and sleep for more than 12 hours without the guilt. I miss my Boracay days.. I miss the beach. I miss California. I miss talking with Deric without the curfew. I need at least a month of not doing anything :) I need my vacatioN!
Deep down inside, I think I am a lazy girl, who is perfectly aware of her responsibilities, so she works hard to finish her tasks to have more time to be lazy. Does this make sense? Maybe. After all, wasn't it Aristotle who said that "We are busy so that we can have leisure"? Weird... I can soo relate. Wish I were Superwoman.
