After A Million Years...I'm Back!
Yup, after a million years I was able to update my blurty journal.  Lots of things have been happening for the past few days but too bad I didn't have the time to update my journal due to the very heavy workload we had for this trimester.  Today was the last day of the midterm exam week so at least, I can breathe for the moment.  Sure, it will be busy again starting Tuesday but at least I have a longer weekend to relax and pray for our dearly departed relatives and friends.

Guess what?! I just watched Spiderman 2 on DVD after my afternoon nap (I did not sleep last night).  I know it is quite late to talk about the movie.  Anyway, it wasn't my fault that I didn't have time to drop by Glorietta when it was showing on the big screen.  Of course, it was the typical Hollywood blockbuster with lots of great special effects.  However, the movie has struck a chord when Dr. Octavius and Peter Parker were talking about talent/intelligence as a gift and not a privilege - that people must do their best to nurture their abilities so that they may be able to contribute them to others.

I agree!  Yes, we've heard about people who ace exams but didn't budge a finger. (Ang galing naman ni blah blah! Naka 98 at partida...walang aralan yan...dambuhala talaga un!).  However, wouldn't that person have scored a 100 if he had prepared for the exam?  Moreover, if he had studied for the exam and got a hundred, wouldn't his classmates be inspired to work and study and stop thinking that intelligence is merely an "exclusive gift" given to a certain few?

I only have a few terms left before I graduate and enter another phase in my life.  That's why I'm making the most out of everything now.  By studying, working hard, and planning my life well, I may not be only able to develop myself but even possibly help my family and other people in the future.

Come on guys and think about it!  All of us are blessed with talents and intelligence and it would be shame if we would not maximize them.

There goes my realization after watching a movie shown in theaters decades ago.  'Til next time.  Hasta luego!
