First off, I already got my first paycheck. so whee! My atm card is somewhere though, lost in transition.
Second, been listening to a lot of silverchair, nirvana lately. I tried to watch new MTVs lately, and some of them did not give me the same hype I usually get listening to the classics. It's either, my music is getting broader, or I'm developing a keener ear towards some lyrics that secular songs have.
I want to buy another book! I'm thinking of buying elizabeth George's women of the bible. I'm almost done with one of her study guides (AFTER forever). but part of me wants to buy Philip Yancey's book on prayer.
I used to be soo soo happy with inventory sales, considering my big feet usually had a lot of shoe options since most pinoys have small feet, like 6 or 7. Why is it that every store i go to have sold out 8 and 9s? This is bad. haha. I ended up buying a boot inspired shoe that is still black. So much for increasing my color options haha. And i want that violet kamiseta jacket, although i know i prolly need khaki or white for the office. :P
Some part of me is tired. I want to play volleyball, but on account of my forgetfulness with medicine, i think right now, im actually feeling the effect of the pagod and the no medicine thing.
This entry feels so wonderfully random, it's embarassing.
Future politician, Future NGO lady, Future agent of change and moi have all shared our hopes and dreams about our country. I know that a lot of people expect us to go to another country and find jobs there. Jobs that will pay more. Jobs that will increase our opportunities. But we were talking about fulfillment. I'm not closing the door on where God might lead me, but I really feel a love for my country. I feel hope for it. I'm not part of the group that espouses "ang pinoy ay laging bida" kahit saan, especially how media presents it nowadays.
But wala lang, Taking those history classes helped a lot. I want all the pinoys to get to know their history, and really see how to learn from it. It doesn't matter if we're rich, or if we migrated, or if we have to struggle to make ends meet everyday. Our history is colorful, beautiful and shows how everything (good or bad) molded us into the country we are now.
Also, even if I'm an economics major. I don't feel like an economist yet. I'm not saying I have to be part of monetary policies or putting up tariffs to be legit. But the part of economics I liked, was the part of researching and being non-profitable (which can be disappointing for some). It's the part where i got to go out and meet different people, and see how we're not limited to be a certain way cause of class. I saw stuff that transcended through classes: dreams, hope, love, faith. These are the things that are supposed to be important. I hope we never lose sight of them. =)
But i got to cut this rambling short, I have to get to work
