wise words on finals week

One of my favorite characters in Grey's Anatomy is Dr. Preston Burke and I remembered him say the following quoted lines while I was reviewing for my Corporation Law exam.

From the episode Blues For Sister Someone [2.23]

Burke (talking to Christina): There was an interview that Eugene (famous violinist) gave. I saved it. I taped it to my bathroom mirror. He said that he wasn’t the most talented student at music school. But he said what he lacked in natural ability, he made up for in discipline. He practiced. All the time. All the time he practiced. I wasn’t like you. I wasn’t the most talented student in school. I wasn’t the brightest. But I was the best.
Christina: You practiced.
Burke: I practiced

He practiced. I'll practice.
I miss Preston Burke on Grey's.

finals

Finals na naman.

Kung tutuusin mas gusto ko pag-araw ng exam dahil walang recits. Ang ayoko lang ay ang mga araw bago mag-exam. Ayoko nung feeling na kailangan ko mag-aral. Fine, kailangan ko naman talaga mag-aral pero ayoko ng pakiramdam na kailangan siya. Mas hindi ako nagfa-function pag ganon. Pero, balibaligtarin ko man ang mundo wala naman akong choice kundi mag-aral, o piliin ko nalang na tanggaping hindi pumasa. Shempre ayoko nun.

******Ang hirap talaga magsulat sa Pilipino. Bakit ko ba ginagawa to?

Natatanong ko tuloy ang sarili ko, kahit makailang ulit ko na itong naitanong, bakit nga ba ako nagpapakahirap mag-aral ng batas? Kung tutuusin pede rin naman akong kumita ng pera sa ibang propesyon. Nasubukan ko na nga iyon, diba? Mas madaling maging empleyado. Magtatrabaho ka (at pag minsan, magpapanggap) ng walong oras isang araw tapos buwan-buwan meron ng laman ang ATM account mo. Pag uwi mo ng bahay, uupo ka na sa harap ng TV, matutulog, tapos kinabukasan papasok ka na ulit sa opisina. Pag weekend pede kang makipagkita sa mga kaibigan. Pwede mag-out of town ng walang iniisip na sandamakmak na kasong babasahin. Walang mashadong sakripisyo, di tulad sa law school. Mas marami kang oras para sa sarili. At mas maraming pera.

Malamang yun ang problema.

Kumita na kasi ako e. Tama naman nga sila, me epekto ang pagtigil sa pag-aaral para magtrabaho. Pero kung tutusin, kung gusto mo naman talaga ang isang bagay kahit na anong mangyari hindi ka titigil hanggang makuha mo ang iyong nais. Kaya nga ako bumalik sa pag-aaral. Para maabot ang pangarap (Shet! Ang cheesy!) Hay. Ang gulo.

Stop.

Tumawag ang ninang at pinsan ko. May tinatanong sila tungkol sa Condominium Law at Legal Separation. Tama ba naman yun? Kung kelang nag-eemote ako sa pagtatanong kung bakit ako nag-aaral tamang tatawag sila at magtatanong. O well. Sinagot ko naman sa abot ng aking makakaya. Sa tingin ko naman nakuntento sila sa sagot ko. Palagay ko rin naman tama.

Eto kaya ang sagot sa mga walang kwenta kong tanong ngayong gabi?

Pucha. Makapag-aral na nga.

booze-ing

Finally! I've figured out how to paste this video. I have been having problems uploading it on my Multiply site, but thanks to Bianca's Obama Video which at one point pushed me to think harder how to actually embed a video from YouTube here in Blogger. (I refuse to ask, I am quite proud, y'know. Although, I did asked her, but I figured it out before she actually replied. Hahahaha!)

So, the video...I stumbled upon it, once, while browsing Inquirer.Net. Aaannd I was fascinated with all the variety of beers available it this place they call Beers Paradise. Hmn...

This place deserves a try. (evil grin)ü

More on beers...

Last Valentine's Day, I learned that there is Choco-Flavored beer marketed in Japan. According to the news article, it's made up of several kinds of malt which give its chocolate-y taste (Sounds like MIlo. Hahaha!) Alcohol content is 8.9 percent.

Interesting, huh?

And since Kath is in Kobe, I immediately asked her to bring me home a bottle. ;p Hopefully she finds one.

chasing cars

I have always loved this song. Currently though, I am enjoying Natasha Bedingfield's version.

But the more I listen to it, the more it unfolds to me a thousand new more meanings.

Perfect.

We'll do it all
Everything
On our own

We don't need
Anything
Or anyone

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

I don't quite know
How to say
How I feel

Those three words
Are said too much
They're not enough

If I lay hereIf I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life

Let's waste time
Chasing cars
Around our heads

I need your grace
To remind me
To find my own

If I lay hereIf I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life

All that I am
All that I ever was
Is here in your perfect eyes, they're all I can see

I don't know where
Confused about how as well
Just know that these things will never change for us at all

If I lay hereIf
I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
