To celebrate Janine’s CMSC 22 project presentation, she offered to treat us somewhere since we were good mentors. Yeah, I consider myself a good mentor. I don’t know if she feels the same.

Anyway, it was already late and we were still wrapping up on our DVBS meeting when we spontaneously decided to go to McDonald’s because although Janine already had dinner, the three of us (Zenith, Jessa, and me) didn’t eat yet.

Considering the short span of planning and short span of time eating, it was still fun. And of course it definitely adds to the fact that the food was free. And the company was great.

One of the wonders that books bring is the feeling that you’re part of the story. At one moment you could be someone climbing mountains feeling the cold bite of the wind. You could be the detective meticulously examining a body lying sprawled on the street wondering who could have done a terrible thing. One thing that could make the experience better is a good reading room, library, study, or whatever you may choose to call it. Let me tell you about what I envision mine to be like.

I imagine mine to be a rectangular room that’s just right in size. The flooring would be wood tiles so that it will be elegant but not difficult to maintain.

At the left side of the room would be bookshelves not taller than 6 feet but wide enough to fill that side of the room. Directly beside the shelves would be two chairs facing each other.

At the middle room would be a couch facing the window at the opposite end of the room. At the opposite end of the room would be an alcove where you can read beside the window.

Lastly, the right side of the room would be for the more modern literary needs. One shelf will contain tablets and the other shelf will contain DVDs and/or CDs. In the middle would be a workstation containing two monitors, a printer/scanner, speakers, and a personal computer.

Someday I’ll draw up an interior design to make it more easy to imagine. For now, this will do.

Since I’ve been very delinquent in writing entries in this blog, I’ve decided to make a commitment to write at least one blog per week. This could be about an entry from my quiet time, an experience I had during the week, a movie review, a picture I saw or took, and anything else I may think about. The important thing is I will write.

(This is my entry for this week. ^_^ )

I’ve been praying for a higher position for almost a year. To be honest, there was a point that I became impatient. I thought that I wouldn’t be effective in what I do but then God rebuked me. He even used someone close to me as a reminder that I’m called to be excellent. After that, I waited and prayed to God. I became still and just entrusted God everything.

Last January 25, I received word that there was an opening for a higher position. Of course I was excited but had hesitations because it might be in a different team. However, my dad reminded me that I shouldn’t close my options and pray to God first instead so I did. God answered me a few days later and told me to go for it. I immediately handed in my application and waited… Continue reading →
