Balance?
I feel like I'm lacking balance lately. I'm good Academically (killed the practical exam), Physically (basketball, volleyball, gym), Spiritually (Rosary on wednesdays, church on sundays), but now I feel like I'm lacking socially. Maybe because I closed my facebook and tumblr. My friends here go party. I don't feel like drinking or getting high no more so I don't spend as much time with them. lol I need nerd friends! Friends who I can go to the library with or just chill and watch tv with or something. The school material comes fast but life here is slow. It is refreshing not being the "social" one any more but it would be nice to have friends who didn't go HAM every chance lol.

On another note. When you guys cool to skype?

Transition

It's around this time in our lives where people begin to graduate, find jobs, establish themselves and set off beginning the foundations for their own families. With Warren off in Alberta, I'm in the caribbean, and even my brother is planning to go to either Chicago or the caribbean depending on if he gets accepted or not. Makes you wonder what things will be like in 1 year? Where will everyone be? I don't even know where I'll be because after my 5th semester in hopefully Michigan, it'll be anybody's guess. Exciting and scary point in our lives. Best of luck to the homie Warren out there doing his thing in the working world. I'm lucky enough to have left Toronto girlfriend-less =P. I can't even imagine how difficult it is for him and Karen. The scary thing is 3 years from now... someone may be married, have kids, their own place, whatever. Rollercoaster of life.

Words of Advice

It's not because you are not good enough to achieve anything. It is that you're not trying hard enough.

An upper semester told me this when discussing her transition to an international medical school from undergrad. I have felt that I was inadequate to become a doctor enough times in undergrad (I mean, I had genius roomates by comparison)... but actually studying the material and applying myself like I'm a monk (literally study, sleep, eat, now and then exercise), I can see that wasn't the case. Will all this new found effort be worth it? So far it's paying off. But we'll know when I graduate (God Willing).

Just some words of advice before exam time starts. Best of luck on OUCH, exams, life, filipino ladies breathing down your neck, etc.

while everyone's busy trying to figure out if Marquez intentionally stepped on Pacquiao's shoes as a strategy, Im trying to figure out if pacquiaos boxing shoes were intentionally designed to look like socks and tsinelas...
