Another year coming to a close

Yes ladies and gents, 2010 is coming to an end while 2011 is on its way (insya Allah). There were a lot of things that happened throughout 2010. Some were good, some not so. But I must say that I've been the happiest and saddest in this year.

There were things I did that I'm not too proud of. So I'm hoping that 2011 is a year that would bring new hope to be better. I'm highly aware of my support-meter from "certain" people, and it's not something to brag about. But hey, I've got to do this. I have to do my best to get to where I want to be.

My new year resolutions for 2011 is a bit different from the years before. Maybe it was because I lost myself for too long and now I don't only have to move forward, but I have to recollect the bits and pieces of my life that I pushed away.

The past, as much as I would like to forget about them, is something that we shouldn't forget. Sure, they say that we have to forget the past to get over a bad experience. But an experience would still be an experience; good or bad. We all learn from mistakes and we want to do better with our lives.

Live without regrets!

The Awaited Day

I have been waiting for this day for months! And I really hope to God that I could do well in college.
I'm a nervous wreck right now! I even repacked twice because of this!

I may be very busy starting next week, but I think that I might have another blog for college updates. Plus, since the course that I'll be taking is Artistic Writing, guess what I'll be doing a lot in the future?

Besides that, I would like to say to those who have been worried about me all this time; "Thank you for all your help. It's alright now. This is my own decision. I'll try harder this time."
But please, do not question me about my choice. I've gone through sleepless nights to think this through, and I've decided.
May this be my terminus a quo...

Updates! Finally...

I am going to be taking Artistic Writing this December! Woo hoo!
You have no idea how happy I am right now!

Dear Lover - a poem

I wrote this one night when I couldn't sleep. I kinda erased the first stanza, but I think that the poem works well without it. So, here goes:


My devotion for you could never be explained by words.
For they are hollow beings that I am being haunted by.
I would not lie about what I would do for you, however.
The high mountains are not meant for my legs to climb.
The harsh deserts are not for me to travel in.
But my heart and love are what it is to give.
For everything else that I could hand to you are by me.
For I am a mere creature who could not escape death.

If there is to be some twist in fate that we might not be.
Be but not cruel to my gift for thee.
However if your feelings are matched with mine.
Learn that my heart is a glass globe.
What appears to be a solid and sturdy object.
Could be easily broken and difficult to mend.
And that the only remedy is your love.

P.S.: Yes, it's kinda mushy, I know. But I can't help it!

Things are now falling...

...into place! Alright, here's the deal:

- I have an interview this coming Monday, so wish me luck!
- the course is not my first choice, but I am more than willing to accept it.
- but I still won't tell what it is yet, sorry!

I might have some problems explaining myself to everyone later, I know that I had trouble talking to my parents about it. But if I can finish my analysis for the upcoming interview, I am sure that I can do well in it.

I promise that I would announce EVERYTHING after it's all settled. And I can assure you that it won't be that big of a surprise to everyone. You can probably guess what I will be taking.

Okay now, I have a wedding to attend to. After that, I have to continue with my analysis. Ciao!

Hey, new blog title!

Yeah, I decided to change the blog title. The old one was getting, well, old. Anyways, the original idea of the new title was simply "The Starting Point", which is what "terminus a quo" means. I kinda thought that it sounded more complex than the former. And it made me dash for the dictionary, so I think that's a good thing.

Anyways, I'm still not going to announce anything yet. I'm, more or less, a superstitious person. So, I better not count 'em chickens yet. But I promise that I will post a really long explanation AFTER I have confirmed on this thing.

So, wish me luck! Hopefully this will be my terminus a quo!

P.S.: I didn't post anything for a while coz I have no idea what to write about!

My guitar string broke!

My e string broke! Bummer!
I was practicing "Lucky" (Jason Mraz's Lucky) and suddenly it went twing! I was so shocked that it took me about 5 seconds to realize that it broke.
I have to replace it before my next class. Dad's gonna kill me!
