“Per aspera ad astra: Through hardships to the stars!”

The dream begins with a teacher who believes in you, who tugs and pushes and leads you to the next plateau, sometimes poking you with a sharp stick called truth. ~ Dan Rather

Time check 14:30; eating chocolate mallows; punishing self from all the sinful and gluttonous eats of the previous days. To be honest, still hypocrisy though because I have six chocolate mallows and hopefully, I won’t finish them all in one setting. Actually, I am no longer surprised as I always betray myself into eating more after promising to go on a diet. My weakness! But what’s the use of believing in the overused cliche that promises are meant to be broken, right? I may have implicitly sworn to abide by the rule unless I seriously swear on to something which I doubt, I will do about serious dieting.

Anyhow, you may ask what’s got into me for braving all the pressures and trying to blog again? I feel that I need to start another version of me. It’s not that I have changed though but it’s like the upgraded version of the previous me. So I am posting a fresh blog for 2013 and hoping that this will continue while I am sticking to my plans as of the moment. I was in college, about I guess, ten years or so ago when I started this and since I am already in the final battle of my new pursuit, then might as well continue what I have always loved with a more mature and more serious write ups, I hope. I have succumbed to the fact that I am already an adult so adulthood it is. (LOL!)

Admittedly, I have made it public that I am never extremely adventurous, fun-seeker, maybe, but never on the extremes. I always settle on my comfort zones and convenience, and definitely, dubious when it comes to trying out new things, very conventional. But don’t judge, never a dull moment with me. I just need some quick, strong push unless I feel it is between life and death. (LOL!) I ain’t no coward, I just want security. On the lighter note, I guess I am already taking another path and becoming ready to some out of the way plans like opening myself to no-no foods, sweat dripping walks to the woods, or even pursuing love. (Hahaha!)

First and long chance of adventure was to enroll in Law school and honestly, I don’t know when it’s gonna end. Perhaps, it only needs a very good mental control to enjoy every bits of it. But a very good bargain or appropriately, prize, was meeting good people along the way. And learning a lot of things that may come in handy as the future and the need arises. The ups and downs, the murderous pressures, and the pure camaraderie are pots of gold at the end of the rainbow. That’s when you realize that the dream that was once a long-forgotten bottle drifting in the ocean has a message in it waiting to unfold. School is not as interesting as this becomes it does not offer laws that we must learn but life in general. Of course, aside from all of the other things we learn outside and have learned before with people who came and already gone and those who are always there.

Dream, not impossible but an aloof yet sought after to a select few. This dream had me numb after years of battles that were all heart-wrenching, waiting in the agony of doubt and vague diversions especially in times like this, between the end of the first semester and the start of the next and waiting for the grades to release. Mixed emotions! I pray that everything will be alright for all of us. Positive, that come what may, every efforts are well-taken and battles will proceed whatever it takes. Only gratitude and respect to all teachers who give their all just to make us learn, who take an effort to terrorize us for good intentions and for the sake of seeing us succeed to climb to the next plateau. Please don’t poke too hard! (LOL!)

Truth be told, the dream is on tight grip in our hearts and we will never falter.
