Grateful. :)

I can not put out accurately in words how I feel today. I know, though, that I am happy, satisfied, and most especially grateful. Let me, however, share the things that happened to me over the past month; things that resulted to this good vibe in me right now.

First of, my predicament last March (which I shared in my previous blog) is finally over. I do have "meh" grades but good Lord I am so happy I survived that semester. But as they say, endings are new beginnings. After that terrifying semester I now face Summer Term! This time, I am to produce a mini thesis! I now only have roughly 3 weeks to finish the thesis, but at my rate, I am so in for another trouble. Waaaaaaaaaaahhhhh! (Why am I so pessimistic? hahahaha)

Last week I got sick and weak. My body just got all crazy: my head throbbed in pain, tummy felt weird, legs were weak, and my eyes felt always strained.  I even vomited one dawn and was unable to go to class that day. Later I figured that it could have been my eyes (I wear glasses). True enough, after a visit to the optometrist, it was found out that my astigmatism shoot up another 25. No wonder my body reacted that way. I now wear new lenses with grades 25/75 (myopia/astigmatism). Despite the physical torment, I am thankful still because it was not out of something serious. ( I remember my uncle had my symptoms too only to find out he had brain tumor that sat on his optic nerve.)

What else? Israel Houghton and Planetshakers of course. I am so happy I was able to see them in concert. It was one beautiful night of worship and praise all for the Living God. :)

And lastly, I wouldn't want to miss out sharing this little thing that so delighted my heart. After weeks of scorching heat, it rained today! IT RAINED! I held this day dearly because today God answered my prayer and lifted my burden. My room was a hot oven for weeks, but thank goodness it's now comfortably cool. Yay!


I find this post funny, actually. Silly me sharing on things such as those. My goal? Just to let the whole world know how thankful, grateful  I am on God's goodness.  God is good all the time. :)

By the way, my dog, Sky, says hi! 



Haha, have a great day everyone!

When Things Are At Its Peak..

Often I wonder why I, despite all the free time I have to laze around, just pace out and drift away to Imaginary Land when I am already a few hours away from an exam or a school project's deadline. Yes, it's basically procrastination and I hate it effing super! I feel like I'm the most disorganized person in the world and it's pathetic because I seem to be getting worse each day. Noooo...

Prior to this blog, I contemplated really hard. I asked myself, okay, how did I become this...lazy? Stupid question (I know), but it was a start. And then it hit me. I remembered, just last year, I worked my butt off in making sure that I pass those 4 post grad subjects. I did pass but, oh boy, I must have burnt out...I'm not a genius so I have to put in extra effort to cope up with my lessons (I master in Math by the way --- which I now kind of regret).

I don't know, maybe I'm just making up an excuse so I can't study today, but I'm just... too tired to even open up this book I have beside me. It innocently says Matrix Analysis on its cover but actually, everything inside is written in hieroglyphs. No, I don't want to study yet but exam's already tomorrow.... I'm doomed.

But....after slapping my face hard enough for me to shout "Ow!" a while ago, I have challenged myself to put myself together (does that even make sense) and study like I am supposed to. I will eat you raw you stupid book and spit you out on tomorrow's exam.

Hopefully I can manage to pass all of my subjects this semester, although I definitely do not deserve it. I don't care if my grades will all be like "Meh!!!-You-can-do-better-than-this" as long as they're all acceptable! I just want to get through all this pressure.

Okaaay. So it's time to...1) Click Publish, and 2) Turn off my laptop (so I can't read beauty blogs or watch youtube). Oh good Lord, bless me.
