Going Somewhere
Suddenly, the days are shorter.
I am saying goodbye, temporarily, i hope, to Nietzsche, The Beatles, forwarding quotes that I have discovered from my own books, Murakami, FHM, NBA Live, Frank Sinatra, Franz Listz, random trips to the gate to smoke a quiet night Marlboro, long sunday dinners with my family, long sunday NBA games, French 19th century novels (in English, of course), cheap mango shakes, lazy UP jogs, long YM chats, long Friendster blogging, talking to my cat while watching him eat, hanging out with the boys from the hood, taking long walks with girls who do not like me, overstaying in certain fancy bookstores, and so much more.
I have to say goodbye to so much more if I have to keep my very young career as a law student going. And I have to keep it going.
For a small town boy who is in Malcolm Hall, everything has been such a big blessing. Now I have to make Him who blessed me happy by doing my best, and still asking.
Thank you for you who raised my spirits up. I was in a bookstore in Cubao, then, with some friends, buying my very first law books.
Yes, I will fight. And so it is, just like you said it would be. Life goes easy on me, most of the time.
