Memories and elephants
Hello there!
When I get to my twenties, or when I stop blogging, or when I don't, uhm, let's just say when I'm not this young anymore and right now is a distant past, I'm going to collect all my blog entries (including the private ones!)and compile it into a book for my future (O_O) children to read.
Haha. I just hope I won't be a bad influence to them.
And it's really for me. You know what, people learn something everyday but they forget what they learn so easily. It's like wasting all those years when you could've learned a lot already. That's why we makes mistakes all over again. And when you look back to your old blog entries, there you were talking about the SAME mistake you made. You could've avoided it, only that you FORGOT about it. Does this ever happen to you?
I mean, if you don't blog, unless you have really good memory, how do you remember the things that you've experienced, and the feelings you well, duh, felt? And the things that you did wrong, and you so fervently refuse to repeat. How do you remember? Many things happen everyday, and though you can't blog about every single thing, at least some of it actually gets to be remembered electronically.
When I read my past entries, I'm awed because some of it I did not anymore remember and here it all was like it just happened. It's really nice =). And my faults, everything, goes back, and suddenly I have answers to things that are empty today.
Before I blogged because I enjoyed it. Not that I don't enjoy it now, but it's not the same anymore. I'd rather do many things than blog. And ok, I don't enjoy it anymore. It's like being too old for toys. I sort of miss the enchantment that toy stores gave me. I just don't feel it anymore.
It's a bad thing actually.
This year, the reason I blog because I want to remember. I really, really want to know how I felt before. As I grow older, I become less imaginative. My posts becomes more boring every year.

Tomorrow I'll be back to school, and I'm sort of nervous because I'm not prepared (trideck jobs, editorial). But at least it's a whole new quarter. I better not mess up on day 1 because the troubles are intertwined.
I heard someone say on TV that children are stronger than adults because they only have happy thoughts in mind. They're so optimistic. They don't overthink things. They're easy to please. Wait, I remember who said this now. BATISTA. Haha, yup, during an interview on the local cable.
It's true, really.
Also, I was reading PSU's school publication on my way home from Goa, and I actually liked one of their features. I don't like taglish and the introduction was so annoying. But as I read on, I actually found myself appreciating it. The message seemed very appropriate to me, like it was talking to me. Because how many people in this world do not easily commit to anyone? Almost everyone is with...everyone. Haha. Yes, well, you won't get it unless you read it anyway (I can't type it here it's too long, and the intro was too cooooorny).
Confirmation: USTET was really easy. Like, no offense, and this is egotistical but whatever, I was sitting there doing nothing half the time. I was so bored I've read everything written on the walls to kill time. There's not even much review instinct because you're pretty sure of your answers.
At some point, it was even funny. Like which of the following LOOKS like a lion? a. dog b. CAT!!! c. elephant
Whatever, right.
It's just the test anyway. It doesn't say anything about the school. I like UST. It's still one of the better schools.
Ok, I'm going to start my day already. I've been bumming way too much.
