I finally got around to upgrading my blog. Transient Dreams is now running on WordPress 2.5. I didn’t like the new admin panel much so I’m using Dean Robinson’s Fluency Admin. I also uploaded a new theme, as you may have noticed.¹ I’m going to leave this up until I find the time to make my own WP 2.5-compatible theme.

Yesterday was a pretty good day. I did something that people don’t usually do! — I found a Motorola phone in the girls’ restroom at the 11th floor of the SDA building and turned it over to the 9th floor Lost and Found section.² I hope the owner thought of looking there… She might have just assumed that it was gone forever. It’s a well-known fact that when you lose a cellphone, it usually turns up in Quiapo or Greenhills. I know someone who got held up and saw his old phone again.³

I haven’t been on Yahoo! Messenger for a while but Jim and I chatted when the phones started acting up so I’ve been leaving YM open.⁴ Two of my closest friends from college, Icy and Jenny, caught me online and we finally got the chance to talk. I haven’t seen either of them for over a year now. Icy is worried about med school and Jen broke up with her boyfriend last February. We mostly talked about how life is so much different now than it was back when we were still in college. We had different problems than we do now but I suppose everything was easier then, even though we didn’t think so at the time. I like to think we’re better equipped to handle problems now.

I just wish we were all a bit happier. I mean, I know I am — I’m happier than I’ve ever been in a long while.⁵ I just wish my friends were too.

Jen and I are planning to see each other the week after next. I need to call M-Rize and see when she’d be available. We have a lot of catching up to do!

The problem with me is that I have so many interests that I don’t know which one to pursue. I remember these exams we took back in high school… I always got “Very High” grades (the highest possible ratings) on aptitude in every field but my interest ratings varied. The exams were supposed to help us decide what course to take in college but it just confused me even more.

I’m thinking of filing for a Leave of Absence (LOA) next term — emphasis on the word “thinking.”

Hey guys… I just wanted to let you all know that I might not be around for a while and I might have to take my blog off commenting rotations. I’m going to concentrate on schoolwork. I need to figure out some things. I talked to my mom again about maybe not finishing my second degree. I’ve been thinking about it since last term… I get all these questions from my classmates about why I’m studying again, if I ever get tired of studying, what am I going to do after I graduate again, etc. I’m not exactly sure what to tell them.

My brother offered to take me to school this Wednesday. I think he just wants to talk to me about it. I still have over two months to decide whether I’m going to stay in school or start working — so much for not pursuing a career in Psychology. We’ll see.

“I believe if there’s any kind of God it wouldn’t be in any of us, not you or me but just this little space in between. If there’s any kind of magic in this world it must be in the attempt of understanding someone sharing something. I know, it’s almost impossible to succeed but who cares really? The answer must be in the attempt.” ~Celine, Before Sunrise (1995)

I got a message from one of my college friends (from DLSU-M) about something we’d planned a few years ago. She’s thinking of finally going through with it. We still have to brainstorm… I’m going to call her on Wednesday when I get home from my PROFES1 class. I’ll let you know how it turns out.

Well..I’m off to draw for a while. I need to clear my head.

You know where to find me if you need to contact me.
