A Quick Break That Wasn't So Quick After All...

I'm fatigued out of my wits. And I don't care if that's right English or not.

Ugh. I CANNOT wait until finals are over! But until then, this'll be short (*snort*) and sweet.

A few little notes...
Inz - have you emailed? Coz if you did, I don't have any new messages in my email. Ever since the last time, when your email got sent to the Bulk folder for no apparent reason, I'm not worried that yahoo might've done the same thing to an email you sent and erased it before I got to see/read it. Does yahoo erase Bulk messages automatically? Can't recall...

Trish - damn, no partner yet? Man. Any month but school months talaga... sayang. What happened to your photographer friend, Dan (that was his name, right?)? And I fully empathized with the 'specimen' experience. Had to do a stool sample exam in our laboratory once and it's not something I look back with fondness. To put it mildly. Not to mention the fact that we did it so we can see parasites. Smelling, dealing with, and looking at stool samples under the microscope to see itty bitty parasite eggs is really not good.

Lee - God, I miss you like you wouldn't believe. How's life? Happy birthday, girl! Wish you come visit soon. Btw, hoy, bru, what's your home address? Sige ka... wala ka gift ;p hee!

Learning

I used to want to fly
Then learned of gravity

I used to want to dive
But found that to breathe is to be alive

I used to want to jump from a height
Then learned of the body’s limited might

I used to want to be first in discovering
Then learned too much while studying

I used to want all that the world had to offer
But found there were limits in the coffer
I used to dream of all that I could accomplish
I used to believe I could have it all, I was selfish
And yet, if not for wanting, wishing, and dreaming…

We would not have planes for flying
Nor underwater apparatuses for recreation and learning
We would not have reached for the stars and walked the moon
And seen an underwater world where any light’s a boon

People are testing the limits of all that was thought real
There are scientists discovering nature’s secrets still
New information inundates us, discovered by the power of will
Each step taking us to a place where the unknown will be few to nil

I used to want all that the world had to offer
And realized that it was limitless inside the coffer
I used to dream of all that I could accomplish
And realized that the only deterrent is how far I’m willing to reach
Selfish I might have been, but all can be accomplished by persevering…

Escape

Some find it at the bottom of many bottles
Some seek it as they blow off nicotine or worse
Others meditate or use religion to look for it
Others turn up the music and dance as if on high
Then there are those who use physicality to achieve it
Those who seek it in the sweet oblivion of sleep or pseudo-sleep

A second or more of forgetting reality
Just a little while to find their own world
One little moment to lose themselves
In whatever medium they avail themselves of
Whether others agree or not, using the same method or not
The purpose is the same, to find even just a single moment in time
To escape.
