My brother wants to go back to college. Wow. Don't get me wrong, I am definitely elated by this news but I'm just wondering why just now?! Hmm I should be in a more supportive tone. Ok ok, I won't question it anymore. So many years of slacking, not looking after his daughter, sleeping his days away, coming home in the wee hours of the morning, cheating and being cheated on and then poof! He wants to go back to college. Great part of it is that no one asked him to do this TODAY. He just went up and left. Maybe the years that we've been compared finally got into his nerves 'cause it certainly got into mine. I hate seeing him get crushed like that. Whenever the comparisons start I just excuse myself away hoping that my parents would stop. I hated it so much that I felt like at times I defended his skewed ways - that never helped. I definitely cannot say that he made all the right choice most of the time but I utterly reject comparisons between siblings. Can't blame my parents for being so in his face though, they've been working very hard for us but, hey, it finally lit a fire under his ass. Ultimately, I hope he did this for his daughter and himself. Education and ambition are not the only keys to a good life but they will only drive and help him get there. I just hope he knows that this wouldn't be easy and that it demands patience and dedication. I know him too well, I hope he changed his mantra. I also hope he knows that my sister and I are here for him whenever. I'm so happy for him. I want to hug him but he might give me the 'what the hell' look hehe I do not like that look. I hope he goes all the way!

Soon I'll be letting go of my first job. It is my choice though, because I know I wouldn't let myself get behind. I'll be bumming around for awhile but just because it's summer. After a couple of trips with family and friends, I'm confident that I'll be back on track. In the meantime, I'm going to have to deal with the heartbreaking time of bidding farewell to my incredibly supportive team. On the flip side, saying goodbye to the sub par reactive and EQ deficient managers who managed the team only when there are problems would definitely be a cakewalk and an implicit tribute to some of my team mates who harbor the same ill attitude towards these 'leaders'. I feel good about this decision and I hope I'm not wrong. Still, it was a good job in a good company. Some even say that I was lucky to land it as my first gig in the professional world. But hey, no regrets. Not all things can be duplicated but some things can be improved to some extent according to your liking. It's just a matter of perspective and awareness. Have a happy hectic Monday, everyone! If that's possible at all. Hehe

I wonder if I'm the only one feeling detached about the Pacqiao Clottey fight. Heard he took care of business but without the usual flare and flurry of punches - or so my dad told me. **** Haven't read a book for a couple of days now. Maybe I'll try to flip a page later 'cause I know I could lose my groove if I the inertia dissipates. Maybe Victor Frankl would be my buddy today. **** Welcome to tabulas for myself! It's been two days since I started looking for a blogging site that would not overwhelm my phone upon loading. I was really itching to write my thoughts down before they slip away but they already did, so I'm gonna have to settle with this one. Good day to everyone! Have a great Sunday!
