for the last time

something really sad happened today. a teaching assistant in the philo department committed suicide. less than an hour after i got to school, rumors already filled ateneo. i was quietly reading biochem inside the aegis room when someone told us about what happened. accdg to the person, the guy committed suicide, but died of natural causes, and burned himself to death. (anu daw?)

anyway, the point of this post is, since the news spread, i've been hearing lots of people say he must have been crazy or had some sort of mental illness. when i got home, my mom also assumed the same thing. but the thing is, you don't have to be "crazy" to commit suicide. that's why most people are surprised when someone they know does it. because even perfectly sane people are capable of killing themselves. you just need the right amount of motivation, for lack of a better term, and the means to do so.

i'm definitely not an expert on the topic but i believe it's really insensitive for people to instantly think he's crazy just because he committed suicide.

this proves it

i just got home from xavier cos my little brother had his Days with the Lord this weekend. in the 30-45 minutes that I was there, i saw..

1) my friend's blockmate who had to reintroduce himself to me because i didn't remember him (sorry :P)
2) a whole family i could only vaguely remember until something just clicked in my head

who would have thought that your relative (cousin?) and my brother are classmates?

akala ko, ateneo lng ang maliit. hindi pala.

ang LIIT LIIT LIIT LIIT pla tlga ng mundo.

finalleh!

May net na ulit kami! :)


YEEEEEEEEEEEY!






ayun lng.

live my life for me

i got to talk to a friend yesterday ata or the other day. and wala lang, napaisip lng ako.

since i decided i'd go to med school, i knew there'd be a day i'd be too scared i'd doubt my decision. and today is it.

i haven't taken the nmat yet and i actually don't want to think about it. everyone's saying it's just a formality. well, maybe it is. but even if it's just that, even if it doesn't really have any bearing on which med school accepts me, i still want to do well in it. just because it's the 1st step i'm taking towards the medical world.

if it was all up to want, i'd be a guaranteed doctor by now. and i know i won't fall short when it comes to determination. but a few years ago, i learned that intelligence is determined by the number of capital letters in your genes. i'd go as far as saying i have a fair amount of capital letters here and there. i'm not dumb. i know there are no dumb people. i really believe that. but there are definitely people who just aren't smart enough. what if..?

grar.

I just got home a few minutes ago and guess what I found out..

May blisters ako sa toes! Yeeeey.

It was especially tiring today...
My feet are killing me, literally.
I had a few good talks with a new friend (hindi naman tlga new) and the usual sometimes-meaningless-sometimes-meaningful-but-always-funny talks with my old ones.
I still can't figure out where you saw this white lady, seryoso, wala akong nakita even though i was practically staring at the place you guys were pointing at.

P.S. I forgot to say that last week, Sas and I (accompanied by Meong) went to McDo for lunch. And because we were pressed for time, nagdrive through kami.

P.P.S. We didn't have a car. Yes, you guessed right. We walked through the drive through. :)
