-My cousin just graduated from highschool. I've never felt so old. Haha, not that it's a big deal. I still feel like a kid, with some experiences all too familiar when I encounter them again. Anyway, my cousin plans to become a nurse, as in the legit nurse as a profession, not a pre-something. I am amazed with her persistence for that career path despite other people discouraging her. I hope she maintains that attitude when she experiences the real stuff: sleepless nights, toxic patients, etc.
-The valedictorian of my cousin's graduating class will be pursuing a degree on creative writing in UP Diliman. She will then proceed to higher studies to become a lawyer. I just have to express how awesome that is. Talk about satiating the desires of all brain hemispheres. Creative writing + Technical writing are so challenging and amazing.
-Someday, when I'm earning my own money, I will see to it to save cash to treat family members to fancy restaurants and other fancy stuff. Taking them to travel somewhere is on my bucket list. It makes me happy to see them having fun. I value family time so much, especially because I see the little ones play and I am able to indulge in the wisdom of experiences of the older ones. Oh, and my aunt is 13 weeks pregnant! I am sooo excited to hold my new cousin.
-Fire dancing is just so fun to watch. They had this presentation last night during the Earth Hour. I have a thing for pretty lights so fire dancing is a most welcome addition.
-I heard this song played by a live band last night. It had lyrics that went "I'll take one shot for my pain, one drag for my sorrow, get messed up today... I'll be O.K. tomorrow". I liked it because the songwriter seemed miserable at best but hopeful nonetheless. Oh, I just searched the song online and it's Bruno Mars' Liquor Store Blues. Here's a good cover of the song.
-There are many smart people I know and it's my privilege to know them. This year, I know three magna cum laude accountancy graduates, one magna cum laude and another with honors ECE graduates, one magna cum laude health science graduate, among others. Oh, and yeah, one future applied physicist.
-The elementary school where I graduated from looks so different from eight years ago. My favorite change is the hanging lanterns on the old trees there. They look so magical. Haha, my thing for pretty lights again. I saw some elementary batchmates there, said hi, and awkwardly walked away because I didn't know what to tell/ask them anymore.
-It's the start of the final exams tomorrow and I don't give a flying fuck anymore.
