buzzed
It's odd that I find noise in my life comforting. Maybe it just confirms what I've known all along -- that I'm an escapist by nature. Filling my head with things to do, then pointlessly mulling over getting them done ironically aids to keep my sanity. Because there are worse things out there than noise. It's called TRUTH. And it bites.

I hate free time.
Free time breeds discontent and paranoia.
Much as I love to loaf around, it's too risky to give an opening for moping and sulking. Argh, I'm doing it again.

bangag. don't ask.
Where does one get wisdom?
Never really been a fan of self-help books. I'm more interested to learn from real people's encounters, but all these are reactive. Are we doomed to get messed up first, then learn later?
We all wish that it would be that easy -- that answers fall into your lap, that the signs you ask for would be as obvious as MMDA's 'Walang Tawiran, Nakamamatay', that every life-altering choice you would have to make could be decided by using some neat, nifty algorithm.
But then again, if it were that easy, then the point would be lost. I guess this is why of all species, we were given minds that can handle complex thought, so that we can cope with inherently being complex beings. Frankly, I wish God gave me a stronger heart instead, so that I can go out there and make the moves that matter, instead of just cowering and surrendering to the hammock of complacency we've hung for ourselves.
Why is it so hard to sit still? Why do we always have to question the state of our lives? And why is it that it is almost always certain that the answer will be unsatisfactory?
Sana monk na lang ako sa Tibet. Paging inner peace. Is it only I that think that I seriously need a shrink? Haha.
Don't get me wrong. I am certain that I lead one of the more interesting lives. It's one of the millions of more interesting lives out there. The fact is both uplifting and disconcerting at the same times, not to mention enlightening in so many ways.

I'm a single.
I don't know if it's just from the piles of forms I had to fill out ever since I joined the rat race. After ticking that S in the Marital Status checkbox, I just got hit with it. After 22 years, I'm a Single. This, in a world made for couples (i.e. duo, combos, dinner and movie for 2, marriage). Even my mom can't wait to raffle me off. Dang, I'm a Single (sorry, just can't seem to say it enough).
What's stranger is that I'm not entirely sure if I'm bothered by it or not. As always, kebs.

CS 210 Day 2
brace yourself for a geeky post.
damn it, after 2 years, i never thought this day would come. i finally understood the master theorem!!! at first, i got lost with the deltas, omegas, and approximations [felt a lot like my first Calculus encounter. yeech, not a good feeling.], but later on, lo and behold, it finally made sense! it's been long since i had a Matrix moment -- you know, when things just fall into place.
wala lang, i'm just so overwhelmed i had to jot it down. minsan lang to. haha.

ish is crankyish.
it took an hour of wearing myself out on the treadmill to finally knock some sense into me.
i actually thought i got past my 'moody' phase. i think i have anger management issues. one time, i'm calm -- the next, i'm nuts. at times, when the peeves rear their ugly heads, all caution & rationality goes out the window. i don't even realize when i'm indulging myself in uber-crankiness, and i just blurt out whatever comes into mind. it's like one messy hangover, and the guilt afterwards is hell.
i mean, i don't get violent, but i for all people should know that words could do worse damage. this is for you, all the people who had been unfortunate enough to bump into me during one of my sungit attacks. i sincerely apologize.
sometimes, i get through okay, or i just get away with it. come to think of it, believe it or not, i'm actually an uncomplicated person. it's just when things like pressure, expectations and feeling come into the equation that i lose grasp of sense. if only things were meant to be uncomplicated. if only questions came with answers. if only we had a unified sense of good. if only good was inevitable. if only your crush had a crush on you too, those kind of things.
damn it, someone please fix me.
