just checking (myself)

Q: why phd?
A: for manifold reasons: tenureship,
Q: will be tenured, why hurry up?
A: to be tenured sooner.

Q: what else?
A: for academic growth.
Q: why go fast?
A: because philosophy's not the final end.
Q: why at 25? to beat a record?
A: honestly, not so. i just want somebody to take over an old spot and use it more responsibly.
Q: suppose somebody after you will finish earlier. would you worry about that?
A: no. as long as the kid will promise that s/he would think not just for concepts but being. as long as s/he would promise not to waste his time with useless ruminations.

Q: why not "get a life"?
A: isn't this life enough?
Q: why not look for other things...?
A: ... and leave some unfinished things undone? ... and leave them at a point where i can see the possibilities of being successful at the end? i'll find time for the rest.

Q: why aim graduating with flying colors? why rush? you would get the degree anyway.
A: it had never been a childish qualm. i just want to make the most out of it because THIS IS ALL THAT I HAVE.

... i think i've found my answer.

Q: don't you have anything else to aim for?
A: i have, lots of them in fact. but to have 'em, i have to step up. besides, i hate unfinished businesses.

Q: what keeps you up then?
A: those who remind me that i'm doing the right things. they take over when i tend to forget. and of course, God's grace.

rawrrrr

the tiger is growling again. (pwera usog.)

i had my first live UAAP game yesterday and it was a blast. yesterday i realized that im more of a thomasian if i've had the thrill of cheering, jumping and victoriously singing the ust hymn at the very site. grabe, ubusan ng boses, lahat ata ng badwords na alam ko lumabas. hehehe. nagkakaroon ng mas fuller meaning yung "...imbued with unending grace."

it is also nice to hear people airing their ruminations while being at the game. this is most applicable to the males. i remember a friend saying that it is in basketball where a man's heart is best seen. well, females do have their own emotional spurs to. it's just funny. these emotional spurs come in different forms:

1. quinito henson, is that you? feeling analysts.
2. pare, palitan mo na. humahabol sa drafting hehehe.
3. yes, Lord i believe. religious optimists. (hindi pa eto yung sa YJ)
4. tsk, ganun talaga. bilog ang bola baby. (ginagamit ito sa pag-eexplain sa mga GFs, sine-mode.. heheheh)5. gwapo mo dylan, woohoo! (pambabae eto)
... at marami pang iba.

but i think this is the best. i gotta laud this young boy for perking up the thomasian spirit. he's the YJ from our part of upper A. he started funny, but he influenced everybody. perhaps this is not exact, pero ang tindi talaga ng hirit, "alam kong malabo na eto, pero kelangan nating magcheer para mabuhayan sila. gawin natin yung part natin."
lupit ng fighting spirit. next time, dapat na syang buhatin (buzz to berto, weheheh).


tigers and thomasians, tandaan ang hitsura ng batang ito. pwedeng ipangalan ang pangalan ng bagong sports complex sa kanya. weheheh.

having this as my first live game, i thought of not watching again in case we lose. pero, nanalo eh. hehehe, palagay ko mauulit eto.

go tigers, rawrrr.

the days of our lives...

When things were so simple.
