In the midst of this windy, stormy, chaotic world, I blog. Ehem.

Plugs.
I posted some pics here. Check it out.
And I'm currently addicted to this. Join us. c",)

Inauguration.
It's finally over, the chaotic canvassing and all. Some believes she cheated, some are still harboring their prides and resisting the graceful exit of accepting their defeat. But hey, I believe that God didn't leave us at all. He was there.. in the elections, in the canvassing. And he is still here.. in the inauguration, and in the newly elected government, chaotic as it may seem. Let's just trust that He knows what He's doing and He still is in control. Finally, let me borrow some politician's words (though I'm really not his avid fan), let's give GMA a chance. It won't hurt to cooperate. Nuf said.

Ehem. Deadma na sa transition. Hehe. :)

CommRes.
One CommRes Society orgshirt I saw this morning had this statement designed on it:

"In the beginning, God created the world in six days, and on the seventh day, He rested. Centuries later, some smart ass created BA COMMRES. From then on, NOBODY RESTED."

Ha, ha. Now that's an understatement. Of course you have to be a Communication Research major in the university to really understand. You see, CommRes is a course that only UP offers, and for those who don't know yet, it's a MassComm branch which specializes in research (uhm, hehe, what a a stupid thing to say.) Anyway, we, CommRes people, have this reputation of being the geekiest among the departments (BroadcastComm, Journalism & Film) in the college. It's easy to identify who's CommRes stud and who's not there, really. We are those people who hang out in the library in between and after classes, and the ones you see in the hallways carrying a ton amount of hardbound books. Yep, that's us.

However, contrary to some unreasonable judgements stereotyped on us, we, CommRes majors, do have fun too. I guess what makes us even more different from all the rest, is that we are more appreciative of time and the simple things this life has to offer. Yeah, yeah.. as I said, it takes one to know one. I bet Ms Polaris and Ms Blueberry would have to agree. c",)

Deadlines.
I have tons of deadlines coming up. It's bad enough that while everyone's busy lining up to buy tickets for Spiderman, I, meanwhile, am stuck cramming for a baby thesis due in less than a week. It's even worse when some bad influences in the form of friends (you know who you are guys) are tempting my vulnerable self. Man!

I can feel the goosebumps now. I recently blogged something about feeling like hanging on to the end of a cliff, awaiting the big jump. Well, here goes another one. But hey, one thing this feeling has taught me is that, to borrow Leigh Mcleroy's words, "courage is not the absence of fear, but the simple presence of faith in the face of it.." Right now, I feel like the most courageous person on this side of the earth.

I guess the best thing to do in times like this, really, is to breathe deeply, appreciate the view, and when the moment comes to trust, rock gently forward into the thrilling free-fall of faith.. (Moments for Singles). True enough, in times of sorrow and pressure, the best comfort we can get is knowing that Someone's jumping with us, and backing us up. It may not be a smooth sailing fall, but with Him, there's definitely a safe landing.

And maybe after all that, God will grant me some time to line up for Spiderman too.

Anyone wanna wait til next week to watch Spideeeeyyman wit me?? c",)
