失敗

昨天才說， 今天就發生了。 我在一個部份不及格。 我要讀書了。 天主，感謝您！ ：）

Random Fact No. 4

I actually play volleyball. I'm not good at it but I know how to play and I know the basic rules. I'm an enthusiast and basically, that's how I could classify myself for now. I used to play volleyball in high school and I was the one who has the strength to spike serve the ball over the net... But I can also hit it outside. I never got to be in the varsity team but that is another post. ;)

還好還有失敗

剛才我們都答了一些練習考卷。 我應該上個星期要開始溫習了。 但是我突然累了。 我想一想大概是要上醫學的事情讓我感覺別開始溫習的。因為醫學開始的時候我都不能休息了， 所以我現在沒有在讀書。 而還在等到開學實在開始讀書。 這真的是一種不好的習慣， 但是我感很難改變了。 我現在應該在讀書但我真覺睡覺更重要。 所以我應該跟你們說晚安了。

Random Fact No. 2 and 3

I used to be a Math geek. :)

Back in Grade 1, I was the gold medalist for our math contest. But before that, I was a bit clueless about mathematics. I wasn't able to add anything that needed to be carried over back when I was in Prep III. I know I shouldn't be remembering such things from my childhood but somehow I do remember a lot of things when I make mistakes. That would be my Random Fact No 3 - I learn best from my mistakes. But let me finish this one first. I still do like Mathematics and I still have my mental computing abilities intact. However, the path I've taken doesn't utilize Mathematics as much. Math is simply something that I can pass without studying. I can't speak the same for the advanced subjects like Calculus and Trigonometry. But in general, I'm good in Math. Not to mention, I'm Chinese. :))

I learn best from my mistakes.

Somehow, that's how I learn best. I can try to sit down and face the books and memorize whatever I can try but I swear I will not be able to absorb everything that I read. I need to make mistake in quizzes and then I will remember things. Just like how my teacher humiliated me because I was always perspiring and I have oily skin back in Prep II. I shall never forget that evil teacher Mrs. Zenaida Ona for calling me to the platform and citing me as an example of a very unhygienic child. I suppose she didn't learn how to be a good educator with that. I also cannot forget how my Prep III Chinese teacher also told me that I didn't deserve to be an honor student just because I fail her Chinese subjects and fly in the English subjects. I suppose these are the learned experiences that led me to become the opposite of who I was when I was a child. Wow, good insight. Bwahahaha! :))

Random Fact No. 1

I am a writer by heart. This is probably the first talent that I have developed. I knew that I have a knack for writing ever since I was in Grade 1. I can't really claim to be the best and I would readily announce it to people - that I am not the best. There are people far better than me but I'm a good or great one especially in campus journalism. I'm quite adept with the English and Filipino language and that really works to my advantage. So, there. I'm stating one of the obvious - my love for writing is intrinsic. Thus, the existence of this blog and the persistence of my devotion and passion to the craft. I suppose I can never really leave writing but I can choose where to write. :) Why? Well, that's going to be another random fact. :D

Random Facts About Me Series

I suddenly had this idea of doing a random fact about me series. I'll post some random facts about me just for fun. :)) Time to be a little self-absorbed and self-conceited just like a Plurk user who knows no other subject than himself. Yeah. If ever you are stalking me, then you'd probably be able to read this and get the message that you are actually irritating. But I'm turning the shit of having to deal with you into something great - an idea for writing. Who said all the inconvenient things or people in the world should remain as such? :))

Need to Focus More

I am just done being on the elliptical and on the bicycle. I did this while reviewing. well, so far things go in my mind anyway. I'm listening to the CHN Review right now and regret finally set in. I wish I started earlier because cramming this much won't do me any good.

Date

Can I just say that was really nice? I miss you. :)

Dating?

I don't really know if I can consider what we are going to have as a date but I am treating it as such. Hopefully, she feels the same way. I hope so because she entertained my invitation to go out with her. :) I don't know when was the last time I felt this way. I can't say that I already love her but I really do like her. :) I hope she likes me too.

Tomorrow (or later)
Greenbelt...
I don't know what movie..
It doesn't matter because I am with her.. :)

Preparing.. or trying to.

What is the greatest challenge in taking the board examinations?

It is understanding what the question is especially with the awful grammar that the board examiners have.

Here I am trying to endure the grammar errors. So far, I can see that most of their questions would end up with two answers to choose from in the end. The other two choices are plainly irrelevant, useless and stupid.

I hope I manage to really study this time. 

Need to Lose Weight

I need to lose weight. 

Every morning that I wake up, a heavy feeling greets me and everything just seems to be a drag from there. I can't really say that I hate my body because I've gotten so used to it that I can manage to play with my strengths and compensate for the weaknesses. But as years went by, my weight just kept on increasing and it has manifested through my clothes size. 

I was in control of my weight during high school because I was a varsity player and my schedule was really hectic to the point that eating was not really an option to release stress. I spent most of my time on stage or rehearsing for a performance on stage. If not, I would be caught studying or perhaps sleeping because I've passed out due to exhaustion. Because of that I was only 190 pounds. Yes, I know it is still heavy but if you saw me back then, you'd think I was only 160 pounds. Okay! 170. Haha. At that time, I managed to fit into an large-sized shirt after being limited to XL or XXL. It was going good until I graduated from high school which meant that I graduated from being a varsity player. From that time up to now, I gained at about 50 pounds and I can't wear anything less than an XXL. So, I need to lose weight now. And I shall start. Really start.

Clean-up

I suddenly had an idea of copying the songs in my computer to the laptop with iTunes. Now, it's easier to sort and group songs together. Apparently, I'm going to add more music files soon. :) I'm just not so happy with having 7,500 songs as of now. But it's great revisiting some of them. I remember the songs that I grew up listening to and I'm glad to be able to hear them once again. I also cleaned up a lot of things here as well. Now, I can work better. It's game time. :)

For some odd ball reason

For some oddball reason, I find myself wanting to start blogging again.

It seems that the aversion toward writing is really giving itself a permanent rest. It makes sense. I love to write and it's been a huge part of my life. I believe this is the first art form that I've developed. I may not be insanely good at it but it's not the point. It's more on the expression part. I may not be done with the one-liners expressing much anger but I'm done with holding things back. I'll still resort to different art forms but I'm giving writing a resumption. Cessation was just temporary. I just needed a time off to miss what I love doing. And now that I missed it much, I'm going to give it a go. :)

Scared.

Eight more days until med school starts. I am not excited. I am freaked out. There are still lots of things to do..

Courage

I was finally able to muster the enough courage and ask her out. After a long time of not trying to give love a host, I guess I'm taking my baby steps to welcome the possibility of allowing myself to fall for someone special once again. I can't say I love her, not yet. But I daresay that she's really someone special to me. I don't want to rush things. I don't want to expect anything. I'd rather have things as it is.. for now. But soon, I'd like to have either a yes or a no - nothing in between. I'm done with non-sense suspension of my fate. I can handle a rejection, just not a hanging on the line. I'm also giving not having things work out as a possibility. But this time, I'd be more receptive of the other end.. I'd love to still be friends with her. But for now, I'll let nature take its course and gravity pull its magic on me.. :)
