Just thought this could be interesting :)

"Man has been called by the ancients a lesser world, and indeed, the term is rightly applied, seeing that man is compounded of earth, water, air and fire, this body of the earth is the same. And as man has within himself bones as a stay and framework for the flesh, so the world has the rocks which are the supports of the earth; and as man has within him a pool of blood wherein the lungs as he breathes expand and contract, so the body of the earth has its ocean, which also rises and falls every six hours with the breathing of the world. As from the said pool of blood proceed the veins which spread their branches through the human body, in just the same way the ocean fills the body of the earth with an infinite number of veins of water."
- Leonardo da Vinci, as an anatomist

Postlapsaria

Maybe I'm just one of the ordinary students you get to see in school. Or maybe not. We didn't really know each other personally, but let me just thank you and thank God for bringing you into our lives. You are such a great teacher and I'm sure everybody knows that. A great friend perhaps. A person of a great mind. It's true that we don't realize one's value unless it's gone. To me, people sound so hypocrite telling you how good you've been, thanking you for everything, saying how much they love you. I wonder why just now, why only when you're gone already and everything seems untimely. But this time I opt to be one of these hypocrites, in hopes of letting you know and making you feel how much impact you've left to me personally. For the last time even if it's too late. CELLBIO has been a tough subject. I'm mediocre and oftentimes unable to get concepts in an instant. I got a passing mark on our first exam and that's enough for me I have to admit. In your class, for the first time I was able to endure the hours without having to stop taking down notes, which was unusual when it comes to my other subjects. Maybe what's left to me of you are the complete notes I was able to accomplish on those times that you were in front, teaching your heart out. I don't know Sir, everything turned gloomy. I felt sad. I realized how short is life. I don't know what to say. It was so fast. But who am I to question this? Let me just say thank you Sir. This is my sincerest gratitude for that short time you've been there. I'll meet you someday in heaven.

When I fall in love again



Reminds me of the days when I'm gonna have to force myself to sleep (just because you know it's just nakakasenti) as the radio plays this song. It's so high school but never gets old. Perfect when you feel like going emo lol. I love this.

Sleep is priceless

1. I woke up this morning feeling so unaccomplished. The approaching deadline of the supposed review of related literature (no shorter way to put it) of the thesis proposal and the good scent of unflipped pages of my cell biology book failed to convince me to wake up at 6, be at school at 7 (to study coz I can't study at home or I choose not to), go to mom at 11 and submit the journal by lunch time. The plan is ruined once again, ladies and gentlemen.

2. Today is the LEAP (Lasallian Enrichment Alternative Program) day when students get to attend alternative classes in lieu of the regular ones. It's ironic in my case that La Salle's annual university week comes with an even more laborious set of things to do. Nevertheless, I feel so lucky that I had tried yoga today for the first time for my alternative class. And everything was wonderful again!

3. I stayed in school after the yoga class, from 4 to 9 to study. For that matter, congratulate me please.

4. I was having diarrhea the whole day! It must be the nuts from last night. (Coz nobody gave me chocolates. Chos!) So before getting myself on to this keyboard it has been, on the least approximate, my 10th time of having to go to the restroom and release all... those... watery stuff.  Ick!

The object of surprise

It has been more than a month since my last term in school has started and already it's making me feel that there's no more turning back. I am currently working on a thesis proposal and despite the fact that I will no longer have any semblance of life, fun whatsoever once this phase is over, I'm looking forward to finally be one more step towards the star... at least for now. This week is going to be hell of a fight. Of course I convince myself to seem more excited than how I sound now lol

Apparently I'm sick of having swings of insights. At times I'm imbued with deep motivations and unluckily they as often change to something lethargic. It's a cycle. And also, it's strange that I rarely dream. In a literal sense.
