As Andrea likes to put it, “Ang yabang!” But yes, let me gloat to the rest of the world.
Let me inform anyone who passes this blog that I possess a bachelor’s degree from an institution of higher learning. That I “have high quality and integrity of intellect” that were determined through (a) examination of undergraduate credentials, (b) recommendation of former professor [Of course, mine came from the venerable Sir Lito] and recognized authorities in the discipline or area of specialization [like Mr. Y] and (d) examination.
Therefore...
I pass both UST and UP Graduate Studies evaluation! I want to jump around like a bunny. Scream at the top of my lungs. Hug anyone who passes by. I am full of love. I am bursting with excitement. I am salivating. This is something new. This is something good. I want the world to celebrate with me.
I will definitely take Anglo-American Lit in UP. No, I did not make UST as my contingency plan. Up until last week I was sorely tempted to enroll myself to their Comparative Literature program. It just so happened that they don’t offer any courses this summer.
But it doesn’t mean that I settled for anything. I want constant challenge in my otherwise staid lifestyle. And I thought losing myself in a very unfamiliar campus will keep me entertained for awhile.
I am planning to move out of the house. Not completely though, just on days when I don’t want to drive home. UP is like at the other end of Luzon from where our house is located. The idea of spending hours on traveling is not very appealing.
***So here I am, two steps closer to resigning from my job. Yes, I do intend to leave the company… but after a very, very long time. Like ten years from now.
The second step is after I finish my Ph.D
abroad. I want to write this one down so I’d remember this specific goal. Yes, I love my current work. Yes, the people I work with are addicting in a good way. But I don’t see myself growing old here.
I still think that the IT moment of my life is still out there, waiting to happen. And here I am, also waiting for the perfect timing to chase after it.

pagnagiging routine ang jobs, nagiging boring na... which is happening to me. Sabi nga kagabi ni grissom sa csi, "change brings purpose in life."
