Enlightenment

If there's a book out there that I would like to hug and hold while I sleep and eventually marry, it would be the book that I am reading right now. In August, I reserved a copy in the library and didn't expect to get a hold of it until early next year. The last time I checked, I was like the 98th person in line. The next day, I found out that the book was in transit already, coming my way. I think it's safe to say that God was reading my website last week...and that there's internet "upstairs" so we all need to start being good so that we can have a couple of "unlimited access" privileges in the future, if you know what I mean. HeHe.

So this book is my new best friend right now. Like a true friend, it doesn't give me answers. It doesn't tell me what to do. It's simply there to let me know that I am not alone...that it's okay to be scared (scurred for those Nelly fans out there)...and that I'm not as crazy as I thought I was. I find enough comfort in that.

I'm only 1/4 done with the book and so far it has addressed topics like fears, destiny, religion, class, being privileged, basically every single question that has ran through my mind since the start of my "recent college graduate profession." However, by the end of the book, I am almost certain that it will not answer one question: "Why someone would like to find their destiny/calling/whathaveyou in a land where FPJ might be The King in a palace by the Pasig River, where the word "mall" is a verb (ex. Let's go malling tomorrow!), and where people memorize cellphone model numbers?"

On to more shallower topics: the flavor of the month for November is Letran's Ronjay Enrile. I saw this guy last year on the pages of Chalk's UAAP issue and thought he was already cute then, but didn't give him much attention since I was already busy daydreaming fantasizing about The Atenista and The LaSallista. Lately though, I've been catching the reruns of this year's NCAA games and have seen this guy in action. Wow. And let me not forget he's 5'11". HeHe. I just think he's cute, nothing more...unless God wants to do something about it. Who am I to interfere, right? ;P
