doing nothing makes you think

It's quite hard to do nothing. You can say you are not doing anything, but really, are you not doing anything? I say it a lot of times but i am actually reading a book or a magazine, watching tv or dvds, surfing the internet etc. Doing nothing can also make you do some thinking. And I have been thinking a lot these past few days. My mind goes places while I'm walking on the treadmill.

What have I been thinking of?

I'm going out of my comfort zone: School
Most of us, if not all, are excited at the idea of graduating. We celebrate when we graduate from kindergarten, elementary, high school, college, and if we are that hard working, graduate studies. It so easy to celebrate ones graduation if there was a next step. But right now, there is no "next step" for me. I am not pursuing graduate studies. I am tired of studying for now. It's not that I am not happy about finishing college, I am, believe me. It's just that I am so damn scared because I don't know what's next. Will I get a job? Will I think of a bizaare business plan? Will I be an entrepreneur? I have not idea! There are so many options after college but there is no definite thing for me. Everything is in my hands now. After studying for almost 19 years, my home-school-home routine has ended. My lifestyle will be changed forever. No more teachers to tell you what to do. No more advanced reading (as if i do this) to prepare for the next lesson. Nada! Ok. I am being sentimental again.


Will i get a job that will suit me?
ve been pondering on this for a long time. I have had my first official job interview an a magazine company. That has been my first and last for now because I haven't been applying to companies yet. I only gave my resume to that magazine company and a television station. That's it. After experiencing that interview, I realized that the task I had to do there did not suit me and the working environment didn't either. But am I to choose only the ones where I WANT to work? Who am I to choose? I think that competition out there is really tough. I am not used to competing with other people. My grades would tell you that. Right now, I am kind of regretting that. I should have done more. Maybe I should have lessened watching Koreanovelas and Reality shows and going out. If only I have done major studying and researching maybe my grades would not be as mediocre. I won't be stepped on by those who performed well. But then, I had fun and im happy. hehehe


When will I start looking for a job?


As I mentioned, I haven't been looking for one. Why? Well, I want to enjoy the summer. I want to go to the beaches in the Philippines. I want to go to Asian countries. I want to explore. I'd start looking for one after a month. I want to cherish my freedom 1st. A month of having fun would do. Who knows? I might find mister right in that month of bumming around.

What I've been doing

I finished watching Great Expectations

I liked it. I loved the colorful Nursery School. If there is such a preschool in the Philippines, I would enroll my children there. The story was ok. The thug got the nursery school from his mom who passed away. He had to teach in the school to get his inheritance. He then falls in love with the teacher. The teacher has an ex who was the enemy of the thug. Of course it has a happy ending. The kids were cute. They kept me watching the series. It was a bit dragging towards the end though. Or maybe I was getting sleepy already.

Right now I am watching Super Rookie

The first few episodes were ok. I like the characters. There was a scene in the start where-in the guy was singing his heart out in the bridge. He was in major emo mode but it was hilarious!

The lead actress, Han Ga In, looks like Son Ye Jin. At first, I though that it was her. Don't you think they look the same? creepy...

I was cooking tikoy a while ago since I wanted to eat something while watching. Unfortunately, there was a black out because of the rainshower. So I continued reading Meg Cabot's "How to be Popular." It was a Christmas gift but then I had no time to read it. I'm only on the 7th chapter if I am not mistaken. It is a light read. Fun though. You get to realize why some people are popular and some are not (including yours truly. haha! and I don't think I would ever be one)

Tech Alert

I've been using vista for a few weeks now. i switched because of the "TAGA LIPA ARE" and "Viva Termex" viruses. It does not really prevent them from entering the computer I think but Windows Vista is more cautious than XP. It keeps on asking you stuff when you want to do something. Better safe than sorry. It has major compatibilityissues though. I have installed it thrice. now itis working well. I did not attemptto install programs that are incompatible anymore.

I'll continue my marathon now...
