University updates

Hello there,

Okay okay, I admit it to myself. I've been studying almost half a decade. Since the University and the course doesn't really have a proper beginning, half time and end, I don't really feel a time pressure.. which is good I think? Why.. I have many reasons to answer this question. Studying in the "public University of Vienna" has given me a total different view of STUDYING. Unlike in school I was really pressured from the teachers to get things done on a special date, with a tight class schedule - fully loaded is the term my parents use. But in University, aside from my own parents, no one is pressuring me on whether I finish sooner than later. The professors, the institute, my friends.. noone pressures me. Because studying in Vienna is not something where you study for the sake of studying, but you study because you want to gain knowledge at your own pace. There are students who have been studying for 10 years, others have studied for only 3 years.. both of them aiming for the same academic degree. Yet the one studying for 10 years, may have more life experiences than the one who has studied for only three years. Students I meet in courses always tell me how their internship in a third world country was, their voluntary work in that organization. So while studying they get to practice what they study. I, on the other hand am the inexperienced one.. inexperienced in the sense that I don't travel to thirld world countries (aside from the philippines) or work as a volunteer for an organization abroad. I have to admit that I am too scared to do that, and my parents won't let me experience that. But my five years studying wasn't sleep all day and waste the year. I can finally say that I am A L M O S T done... well "almost"... I never knew that I would ever get tired of reading and surfing the internet to do research. Since I have completed all my required subjects and all, my whole attention is focused on my 100 page thesis, which I have to submit in November. And here comes the time pressure, I have to be finished with everything: final exam and all by March 2014.

Once I'll be finished with my studies I want to explore the world. Leave Vienna for a year and travel the world, or at least go to a country by myself...... or at least with one friend. I don't really know if I can handle this "alonetime" by myself...

So in order to do the latter, I HAVE TO RESEARCH, READ, maybe interview AND WRITE that freaking thesis. I need all the angels and saints and Lord Jesus Christ to support, guide and force me to do this all. 

THIS IS IT,

Your Actions define you.

Senti hits Have you ever thought about doing anything you want, because it's your life and you don't care what other people will think about you? I certainly did and still do. My parents raised me with an important note that people will judge you with your actions and it will reflect on how my parents raised me. Me, being the good (which I am not, but people think I am) girl and trying to avoid problems, understood the advice wrong - when I was younger.  Human beings are not perfect. Noone is and will be. Friends think I am so perfect, nice and all. But I also have my bad side, once in a while. Which is not bad at one point. It depends on how you act and react. You can get mad. You can drop everything and quit. But you can also stay calm and let the storm pass. I remember my boss telling me that I should inhale and exhale and that I am doing a good job in keeping calm.  In my point of view everyone can live an almost perfect life, even if they have annoying, contr...

Oh the places you'll go - Dr. Seuss

I'm back readers! I don't even know if someone reads my blog, but I felt like writing again, because I am actually supposed to do something else. And my head is somewhere else anyway.  I've been really into books lately, I started many books, but I haven't found the passion yet to finish them - because none has "touched me yet".  Anyway - I slightly am getting really interested into Dr. Seuss books. Even though he is an author for kids and maybe young adults, his messages in his books are really deep.  Lately I've realized, that it's time to make spontaneous decisions and let your heart take control. I am actually a head person, everyone I know, knows that. I love to travel - and my last vacation (which I might also blog) made me realize that at such a young age, it's high time to see the world - with people you know by heart, or you've never been on vacation with.  And coming back to my blog, and reading some of my shenanigans -...

Helloo!  time is definitely not on my side, and this mood of mine is not influencing me so well. I wish I was more hardworking, I wish I was less lazy.. bla bla bla..  I HAVE TO CHANGE MYSELF. I have to be more hardworking if I want to. I want to be more hardworking, therefore I will be more hardworking!! Starting now. I can't blame my sprained ankle for being immobile. I am not immobile. I AM JUST FREAKING LAZY! Fellow colleagues of mine are on Class trips, or visiting friends but still doing their Final Thesis. And what am I doing? Sitting at home, pretending that I am busy... but in all honesty I am busy watching TV or surf YouTube. I do not like this attitude of mine. And I have already reached half time and I haven't written one single page.... not even a sentence.  Oh Lord, please help me. I know I've been asking for your help always, but please kick my ass harder! Kuya is stressing me also, but he doesn't count. He can't relate... I think. No mor...
