The Avengers

First of all, this is not a spoiler post. let's make that clear to everyone who is hostile to people bursting out movie scenes. Personally I loath spoilers and I try to prevent myself  from strangling people who do that. Most especially when cinema goers around you narrate the whole scene to their friends before that scene is bound to happen. (totally one of my long list of pet peeves) makes me want to go straight to them and slap them just like how one feels when the person behind  them constantly kicks the back of their chair during the movie. but of course I don't have the guts to do that and I'm not so violent like that. Ok, so much for my hate on spoilers.. I'll just narrate how my movie night went by.

We hurriedly ran to the ticket booth (if that's what you call it) upon arriving at the mall and not to my surprise I found a long line not to mention almost all filled seats at the screen. Nevertheless, I went in line while praying that there will be enough seats for the three of us. luckily, there still was. It was the last full show and I right away took it because I know this movie will be worth it regardless its time. We wasted time by eating and just walking around the mall until all stores have closed except the cinemas. there were long lines even in Taters. Until it's finally show time.. my dad slept through the first part of the movie, but wakes up during action-packed fighting scenes. haha.

3 things: Fun battle. Humorous. Scarlett Johansson. They actually did a pretty fair job at dividing the character scenes equally. Excellent script also, I actually memorized some of the funny lines in it. Since it's Friday and almost half of the city would be able to watch it already, more spoliers would be heard so I daresay don't check out any avengers tweets and posts if you haven't watched. (except this) 

Lastly, IRON MAN IS STILL MY BEST SUPERHERO! Tony Stark = too much swag. I got to say, I'll be shortchanged to any regular superhero movie I'll watch next.

Carpe Diem

“I can never read all the books I want; I can never be all the people I want and live all the lives I want. I can never train myself in all the skills I want. And why do I want? I want to live and feel all the shades, tones and variations of mental and physical experience possible in life. And I am horribly limited.” - Sylvia Path

That pretty much sums up my sentiments about my life. I feel that there's always no enough time to do and finish all things I want to accomplish. That I am horribly limited. I have my own bucket list, or as what I like to call it, 100 things to do before I die.. (though it's still half-finished)  and I'm hoping that little by little, I shall be able to cross out some things off my list which involves lots of traveling :) such as to bike around the Eiffel Tower, ride a gondola in Italy, visit Machu Picchu. Okay, before I go off topic and start blabbing about my list.. I feel that I can never fulfill all those places I want to go to just like how I can never read all the books I've been eyeing on and adding to my book list right now. The skills I want to learn and develop, the sports I want to try, the lives I want to experience. Which I tell you could go on forever, jk, maybe a fortnight. So, the reason behind that is exactly what's written above.


I WANT TO LIVE AND FEEL ALL THE SHADES, TONES AND VARIATIONS OF MENTAL AND PHYSICAL EXPERIENCE POSSIBLE IN LIFE.  Ever since I've encountered this quote, I memorized this line because I feel that they're the perfect words to sum up my being (no, not really. perhaps just one part of me).. and it is also the exact comeback I want to say whenever people around me tells me that I can never make up my mind. Usually, we are designated to only one lifestyle and career in life that we'll master and love, but I can't find that one thing because of those bolded letters over there. I don't want to label that as being indecisive or a person with no direction in life, I prefer the term open minded. A person who wants variation and diversity. yes, I want change. Change is the one thing here that's constant and I like changes, it gives variations and divergence to life.. as long as they're changes for the better. 


 I just think that life is short even though it seems not in the meantime. Too short to manage all the things in my bucket list, too short to live and feel all the shades possible in life. And lastly, on a lighter tone, short to read all the books I want! But of course it won't be so short if one actually gets up, gets it done and Carpe Diem.

Fickle mind

I've encountered a tweet like this: "Course > school"- that wasn't really what I have in mind before.. I focus on schools/universities. For me, (take note, before!) it's only UP/ ADMU/ DLSU/ UST and others... if I don't pass to any of it, I shan't know what am I going to do with my life, I'll likely end up in a hospital or something, luckily I passed to 2 of em so I didn't had a breakdown.
Just so you know, Ateneo is really my dream school. aside from the fact that it's THE freaking ATENEO, second home to most of our Philippine heroes and breeding ground to lots of intelligent and talented artists, it has great ambiance and gorg people..  seriously, who wouldn't want to study there if given a chance (like free tuition and stuff). -- okay, that's just an intro..it has nothing to do with this post, and I didn't pass ateneo :| and UP although, modesty aside, I have high UPG :) what I genuinely want to babble about is my course in college which I'll try to express in the next paragraphs.

Originally, I opted for a Communication course on 3 of those top universities. I tried Pharmacy for UST, since my parents want that. I was very indecisive and unsure of fields that I'm going to take, while reading the degree program lists for every school, I feel I want to try different courses and just try what fits me most. courses like Legal Management sounds good, International Studies sounds interesting, Economics sounds smart.. so I really can't decide on which course. I mean, I know that I shouldn't choose a course based on how good/interesting or smart it sounds but I don't even know where I'm good at, I think I could do well in any of them if I just set my mind and pour my heart on it (except engineering because I've never been amused to applying math concepts in building structures, machines, systems etc.)

 soooooooooooooooo, what I really want to set forth in words is that now... I have decided and that's actually something for me, because I am someone who can never make up my mind. Call me inconsistent or that I have no direction in life but I say I'm just open to options. I've given up the communications course and I will study BS Pharmacy, I don't have inclinations to pharmaceutical drug components and such but I'll try my luck with it.. since almost all the elderly tells me to pursue it and that I'll have a bigger future in it. yeah, they say follow your heart and choose a course that is really what you want but I've decided not to follow that rule.. sadly, most of the youth population are forced to careers they don't really want and I daresay not just the youth but also adults who end up underemployed, I guess I'm one of them but I think it's too early to tell, who knows? I might be engrossed to pharmacy in the process. 

Currently, I lack summer adventures, hence this random post about education and school. haha
