The Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

Monday, July 18th, 2005

Last saturday, the new book Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince was released all over the world. I was supposed to get one, having seen that there were lots in stock locally. But something stopped me. It’s Pre-lims week and I haven’t started to make my exam questions for my 3 classes.

The problem with HP books is that, it’s the only one that I am forced to read ’til the end! I have been Harry-strucked and these are the only books in my shelf that I’ve read in record time. I’ve never been like this even with my favorite medical subjects. So, if I buy a copy of the latest Harry Potter installment, I would be forced to read it and would have no more time to make my exams.

Settled…for the moment

The whole week I was thinking of posting something, updating my blogs, but nothing interesting really was up. No new toys, so no new updates in my TechBlog. No real news, so no updates on this blog as well. But when I tried checking on my friends’ blogs something struck me because I was talking with a different friend a couple of days back and it’s on the same line.

Some of the things that has crossed my mind is going into training, into residency (well, who hadn’t thought about it anyway?). Right now I’m settled with what I have, with what I’m doing. After my stint in the call center industry to look for "greener pastures", I was brought back to a lane where I am comfortable with, teaching. It pays better and has a more relaxed atmosphere than my previous job. But then again, I must move forward (not that I’m saying I have to move, again, now) but eventually! But then again, residency is one hell of a job! The stress, oh wow! What a rush it’ll give. And yet, I must go for it, to progress professionally. But then again, with my current job, the feeling of ecstasy is overwhelming. So when I talked with my friend, we both agreed that going into training would only happen if it’s going to be the only worry we’ll have to think of at that time. So, perhaps, I’d continue with my current job ’til Feb and onwards and weigh the options of when and where to have my training.

Why do you think I’m having trouble making up my mind, well that is because training doesn’t pay as good as my current job. And so, I have to save quite a bit to get through residency without worrying much about finances. Ciao!

Almost…(part one)

Yesterday, on my way to meet a friend with my family, I was ALMOST apprehended at Padre Faura around 11:30am. I don’t know why that traffic enforcer was flagging me down, I thought only of two reasons. Either that I was using my cellphone while driving or I didn’t notice that he stopped the traffic from my way because I was on the phone. Either way I didn’t stop and even though he was signalling his fellow enforcers (one of them was on a motorcycle), I didn’t stop and just continued on driving.

Then early today, while on my way home from partying all night. I ALMOST hit a jeepney or it ALMOST hit my car, on an intersection in P. Tuazon Cubao, very near Ali Mall. Good thing my instinct guided me and my car’s breaks were fully funcitonal!

Only thing I could say is THANK YOU VERY MUCH GOD!
