MIB for the time being.

Wednesday, April 26, 2006

Hey people. Just a little notice here. I will be MIB (Missing In Blogging) for a while. Due to various reasons of course.

The sudden passing of a very close relative has left me pondering on many of life's questions. I just hope in time I'll come to accept them.

My mid-terms are in 2 weeks. I haven't exactly started studying. You'd think a girl would learn her lesson. Apparently not in my case. So yeah, I don't have much time to think of what to blog at the moment. I'll probably continue after my mid-terms. That oh-so-important mid-terms. *shudders*

Currently listening to - "God Will Make A Way" by Don Moen.

Till then, take care and God Bless everyone.

XOXO,
Sara

When life throws you a hurdle, you either stop before you reach it or you jump over it.

*****************************

You know, in a few months I'll probably have to make one of the hardest decisions in my life.

(Drum roll please......)

The decision of what I plan to study in the very, very, very near future. Yup, thats my dilemma at the moment. Oh sure, many of you have probably made up your minds about what you want to study ( speaking to those who are at my age), but there are always the exceptional few, like me, who frankly aren't ready to make such a life altering decisions.

When you're an average student, neither excelling nor failing in any subjects, you tend to feel the strain. Believe me, its there. I mean, what can I possibly do? I don't excel in anything. Some people excel in certain subjects whereas I, well, I just.......don't.

So here's the thing. I do try. Really, I do. I want to find something I'm really good at but disappointments just turn up whichever way I turn. Life was so much easier way back in the good ol' days when you just wrote down what was your ambition. Heck, I can still remember the countless number of times I had to fill in forms when I was younger. You know, forms regarding information about yourself and so on. So, many a times I'll stumble across word "AMBITION". Needless to say, I'll just write down these three: doctor, teacher and lawyer.

Oh how naive I was back then. My friends wanted to be doctors, so I wanted to be one as well. Oh btw, I don't think they were thinking much back then either. Hehe.

So everyone wanted to be a doctor. Why not, right? You make loads of money, save lives and live happily ever after. The end. Hehe. Just joking. But back then, did I know that in order to be a doctor I had to study medicine for at least 7 years? No. Did I know that it would cost a huge bomb in my parents' wallet? No. Did I know this? Did I know that? NO. So there you have it, naive little children who didn't know any better just writing down the job they think will make them rich. If life was so easy. But it isn't.

So now here I am, trying to get through my unending pile of homework, somehow find the time to revise, get the amount of sleep I require or else I'm incapable of functioning and yadda yadda. Then comes the bomb that I have to dicide what it is that I plan to take up. I can't just write it down on paper this time and discard it like what I have done countless of times in the past.

Then there's the thing of choosing what kind of doctor, lawyer, engineer, etc. that you want to become.

For doctors:

Anaesthetics
General practice
Medicine
Obstetrics and Gynaecology
Ophthalmology
Paediatrics
Pathology
Psychiatry
Radiology
Surgery (Including Dental Surgery)

For lawyers:

Attorney
Adoption Lawyer
Appeals Attorney
Auto Accident Lawyer
Aviation Attorney
Bankruptcy Lawyer
Collections Attorney
Constrution Lawyer
Criminal Defense Attorney
Criminal Lawyer
Divorce Attorney
DWI Attorney
Estate Planning Lawyer
Franchise Lawyer
Immigration Lawyer
Investment Lawyer
Lemon Lawyer
Litigation Attorney
Maritime Lawyer
Medical Malpractice Attorney
Nursing Home Lawyer
Patent Attorney
Probates
Product Liability Attorney
Tax Lawyer
Trademark Lawyer
Workers Compensation Lawyer
Wrongful Death Lawyer

For engineers:

Environmental
Mechanical
Agricultural
Biomedical
Computer Science
Electrical
Petroleum
Civil
Ceramic
Chemical
Aerospace
Geological
Architectural
Automotive
Mining
Industrial
Transportation
Nuclear
Textile
Marine
Systems

There isn't just ' doctor ' or ' lawyer ' or ' engineer ' anymore. Great. Just great.

The thing is, how will I know if I'm interested in that particular field if I haven't even studied it?
Somebody please give me an answer.

I want to stop cogitating on this matter. But I'll have to face it sooner or later. I prefer sooner.

I'm A Little Outdated. It's Sad.

Ok. It's been awhile since I've written anything here. Thanks to my oh so boring life, I just have nothing to blog about.

Thank God I had a fun weekend. I wanted to write this post yesterday but I was so tired that my eyelids were touching the floor already thanks to the lack of sleep over the fun but tiring weekend. No complains though.

I went for my confirmation camp last weekend. Not being a very outgoing person, I have never actually been to one of these overnight camps with friends. Yeah, I am soooooo sad. Don't pity me though. It was fun while it lasted. Met the nicest, funkiest, friendliest people you can ever imagine. Seriously, those people sure can crack you up.

We had many speakers among the other activities the teachers planned. Basically the whole idea of this camp was to deepen our faith in God. Many of the speakers also gave talks on relationships e.g. relationship with parents, friends, God and so on and so forth. There was this guy who talked about how his dad passed away and who he was estranged from his mother. That really got to a few people and we broke down crying. Yes, I did too. It was sooooo sad. *sobs*

Our confirmation group was the first group to create history in that convent. We broke 3 plastic chairs, a flower pot and a light bulb. I have no idea how the guys managed to do break the light bulb...

I wish I had some pictures to post but being Miss Forgetful, I forgot to bring my camera. After reminding myself a gazillion times to bring it. I'm getting old.... Sorry for the boring post but my brain feels so tired and addled at the moment. I'll update soon!

Part of my confirmation group (Excluding the guy in the black shirt since he's our senior). Love you guys!
Managed to get this pic from William. Thanks Will!
