Starting the Year Right
... is not what I exactly did.
The last thing I wanted to is to get behind the times. I wanted to finish my thesis and finish the high school yearbook once and for all (for crying out loud! Santa Barbara!). I planned to make my weekly schedule to have time for everything, including my consultancies and violin lessons. I wanted to have a good start in organizing my activities before the year started.
But two consecutive events happened. One: Broadband connection was invented, Smart offered it and we availed for it. Two: The broadband worked perfectly, we gained access to all the evils of the cyberspace and "Supreme Destiny" happened.
My brilliant brother introduced me to this game where we can interactively play in the internet. This was the first time that we sat together for hours playing the same RPG game at the same time. The maximum level a player can achive is level 355. I'm currently at level 102 in just 10 days. Adik.
The consequences are evident. My thesis adviser sent an emissary, my MS classmate Vicky, to harrass me about my thesis proposal. Someone already got the Asthma study dataset that Dr. Borja was consistently suggesting me to work on. I have no choice but to give that dataset up and choose from a selection of datasets that I handled. Vicky told Dr. Borja that I will never cut my hair until I finish my thesis. Sabi niya, "Naku, baka umabot sa talampakan ang buhok niya." Quite true.
Doctors who need my help in data analysis keep on harrassing me too. A doctor in UST kept on asking my input in our gout study, in which I'm a co-author. If ever I do not meet her expectations, I might end up losing that privilege and wasting all my previous efforts for nothing.
And then there's Geneva opportunity. My aunt kept on asking me for my application for internship in WTO, which is only open for young students like me. Pero ayoko mag-WTO. Anong gagawin ko dun, mang-haharas ng mga third world countries? I wanted to finish my studies first before embarking on international endeavors.
But what I fear the most is my stagnation. I have observed my delinquency, or rather lack of focus, on the things that I should be doing since college. If I don't do something about my "condition," I will lose my dreams.

Help.
