Opening Doors

Everyday, I always overlook the question, "what do i really want to do?"

often times I find myself in situations where I feel I don't what to be in. and sometimes, I just to be anywhere, even if I don't know why I am there, as long as I have people whom I want to be with there...

sometimes, I wonder...
why am I in ECE? (even if I am in my 5th year already)
and why am I in the robotics lab! (for crying out loud!)
and why do I find myself in a DSP project to make a mp3 file reader! (huwat!)

then after the ruckus in the AECES EB...
why did I opt to be the AECES president?
i mean, someone could have been go at this... why me?!
what does a president do anyway?

and if that's not enough, I'm still in Gabay...
tutoring the top 10 students of proj. 3 elem school on LOGIC!
(are the things I'm doing in life logical? hahaha)
and I'm suppose to lead a group of freshies in a cell group (spiritual stuff)
I even have a new soul, Carol
(but hey, I like having a soul in Gabay... I just hope I can take care of her)

then INTACT!
I love my freshies! though I need to know them all...
(at least memorize 30 names and associate them with the right faces)
and I must prepare for it every week (not to mention not being late! 7:30am!!! damn!)
If Sir Chris will see this, sorry for being a delinquent faci during training

so, what else is there...
I'am suppose to have a regular gym session with Adrin and Mac (akalain mo!)
which I like to do...
I'm suppose to be practicing basketball with the ECE guys regularly (for IAC)
(either M, W or F 430pm) that I am missing due to "meetings"
you know for a quite some time now, I've been over using the word "meeting"
I should be reading the Bible every night! (akalain mo rin!)
for 3 weeks or more, I have not followed my program... bad bad...


so, what now?

most of the activities here are things that I do like
but some, I don't know if I really like doing or maybe worth all the energy and effort in doing... I mean, I should do it still... well, you know

thinking about it, I want to do what I like to do.
some of the things I am doing are things that I don't want to do, but I have to do it.

with this, I want to open new doors
but I only have two hands and those hands are full...
I need to put some of it down to open a new door.

problem? I CAN'T PUT ANYTHING DOWN!

at some degree, I'm spreading myself to much...
(to Mr. Shih, a teacher and friend, I'm doing it again! omiged!)

oh well,
I have to live with it now.
I know I can still handle it
I just need to organize things...
organize my time, myself, my lifestyle...

with that
I have to leave other doors close for the moment

so much about ranting haha!
anyway, currently, Ateneo is winning... (labo! I'm watching UAAP on TV)

gee, you have to know how to say NO. and for one, one of your commitment is gonna suffer. you can only do so much, focus your energy.

masarap yung feeling ng maraming nagagawa or natutulungan... pero alalahanin mong kahit si superman ay may hangganan ang kakayahan.

i was once like that. and i said the same thing. but then looking at it now, i realized, nandon man ako or wala, mangyayari naman yung mga dapat mangyari. matatapos naman yung mga trabahong dapat matapos.

i thought i was doing it for them. actually i was doing it for myself. i didn't want to feel useless. i realized that (and accepted) several years after getting out of college.

sana lang, magkaiba tayo ng sitwasyon. sana kung babalikan mo yang mga panahon na yan sa darating na mga taon, hindi ka bumagsak sa conclusion na binagsakan ko.

pero kung yan talaga ang gusto mong gawin, then go ahead. isa lang payo ko sa yo: use your time wisely.
