It's a new year, it's 2011!

Whew.. Amazingly, I have survived 2010. Yehey! It was really one heck of a journey. Welcome 2011 and I welcome you with a bang! Woohoo! Here take it, take it:

Happy New Year!!!

Hehe.. Too bad I can't afford the real ones... Yes, it's a new year and a new life to live on, thus, I have finally decided to straighten things out for a bit(finally!). Yeah, what you're thinking is right, it's definitely the time to make a new year's resolution. Don't feel nasty reading the succeding parts, my new year's resolution could be yours too, who knows?

The following are to be done by migg.the.sleepyhead this year and the succeeding years: (hopefully, who knows repeating these things more than 21 times would really make them a habit...)

Be a ChE Student. In other words, submit yourself to THE TRAINING. Yes. Who knows, after all these heartaches and suffering, ataraxia (i really thank ate yanyan for the word if not for her, the word wouldn't be here. hehe...) can be found? Think of these things, after you graduate, you can get a job for a year or so. If you don't really feel this kind of thing is for you, then you can pursue something that you really like. You can do photography and culinary arts, with you financing for your studies. How cool is that, eh?
Deal With Issues. You know, you can't go on thinking and worrying about things and even carrying a very heavy load on your journey. Accept things as they are. Weiwuwei, remember Lao Tzu? Doing things without even trying.

Aim High. This means no more procrastination for you Mr. Major Procrastinator! Succesful people do not procrastinate. Haven't you learned from you previous experiences? You should know by now. You should! Okay?

Save More. Yes. Should I say it again? It is for the reason that you aim to buy yourself a new laptop, right? And you have a lot more things to buy for yourself and for your friends and for your family, right? Right?

Live Healthy. How can you enjoy all the things you have exerted effort with when you don't have the right state of mind and body to enjoy them? Exercise. Eat less. Sleep right. Eat less. Don't think too much. Exercise. Relax. And did I forget to say EXERCISE and EAT LESS?

Open Up. No man is an island and according to Confucius' teachings, one cannot fully realize his existence as a human being only by himself because man is naturally communal, he lives with others. That means share yourself so that others will share themselves back. Win yourself a friend, would you?

Read and Read and Read. Did you know that successful people read?
Love Life. There are people in the world struggling to live, so why waste yours when others are even trying to lengthen theirs? Live meaningfully and be a blessing to the people you encounter in life.

Woah. This could really be a hard job. But I believe that with continuous repitition and God's guidance (oh please help me God) this could all be chicken. Ehehe.. Let us all pray for a new and improved migg.the.sleepyhead! Again, Happy New Year Everyone!

A breather... Or not?

Well yeah, everyone needs a breather once in a while. I wanted it to come sooner but then again it can't be, especially if you're inside my shoes. Hahaha.. If you don't want to be like me, then don't take a course like mine in college, well, actually you can if you really want to, but please don't go into a school where I'm in, the teachers will eat you alive, and definitely that's no joke. You don't want to end up walking like a zombee just to receive your diploma.

Yes, the semester has ended, and I'm halfway near to the end of this path I've gone into. Now that I'm in it, I actually realized that, 'hey, what got into my mind that I chose this course,' do you think this one's normal?' Haha.. I feel so stupid doing a thing I don't want to. If I have seen this future way back then I wouldn't even dare talking about this course. It's too much for the scholarship thing. Well, it's my future. And I don't want to waste my life studying to become someone I haven't been dreaming off.. Yes, before, I really thought it would be an enjoyable thing to be a chemical engineer... But as I bring myself to "THE TRAINING" I was like, 'OMG, what I have gotten into?' I really hate CPI, you see, you have to memorize all sorts of things concerning different industries.. From the raw materials, to the processes they undergo, equipments to be used and everything about the industry. Woah! I really hated the subject. Some may say that the subject is really important, it's a major subject, but I definitely don't like how the subject is being taught.

Well, actually, it's not only CPI that gave me the bolt of reality. There's THERMO your everdearest bestfriend. Yeah. It's extremely challenging. Then I remember the Department Chair during the interview for incoming students ask me, 'Why do you want to be a chemical engineer?' and I answered somewhat like 'it's challenging.' Believe me IT REALLY IS. And, hey, what came into my mind to say that, or even worse, what happened to me to make me talk to the chairman and bother submit myself to "THE TRAINING" ? Haha..

Now that I've thought of everything, do you really find me stupid? Haha.. ANSWER ME. But right now, I am really hoping that I would do the right next step. What should I do next? Continue undergoing "THE TRAINING" or get myself doing something other than "THE TRAINING." Next semester, if circumstances allow me, I would give "THE TRAINING" another chance. I will have to study THERMO next week, since there are three THERMOs for you inside the TRAINING, that's too many bestfriends for you, haha! I will also give time to studying. Yeah, during the recently concluded semester, my mind was in a I-don't-want-to-study state, which I accepted whole-heartedly. Haha!

I don't really know, what will happen next.. Que sera sera, should we call it?
