I have my afternoon already planned: no blog posting for today.
But something pushed me to act against my plan. The Kiwi video from Wits’. And as Wits said in his own post, "it is IMPERATIVE to watch the video before proceeding with the rest of the post". GO on, watch it na.
One thing is for sure. It hit me. Bigtime. I watched it a couple of times more before I able to digest it. Undeniably, daig pa ako nung kiwi, kasi it knew what it wanted.
Windand ako sa mga questions na binato ni Wits sa mga readers nya. Hmm. Wala akong nasagot. Sa pagkakaalala ko, meron akong post about being honest with yourself, being brave to ask questions whose answers you know would shake your own sanity.
Anyhoo, the kiwi video reminded me of Jonathan Livingston Seagul (by Richard Bach). Google search nyo na lang kasi tamad akong magbigay ng synopsis.
Ilang linggo na lang ga-graduate na ‘ko. Nakakatakot. Nakakatakot kasi hindi ko alam ang gusto ko. Feeling ko babagsak ako sa mga ina-applyan kong trabaho, kasi kapag tatanungin nila ako kung MAHAL ko ba ang pag-pro-program at kung handa ba ako na gawin ito for the next five or ten years of my life, hindi ko alam ang isasagot ko. Basta kailangan ko ng trabaho. Pero hindi ko alam kung anong gusto ko. SCARY diba? At isa pa, hindi ko alam kung saan ako magaling. Mas lalong scary.
Nakakatawa na nakakatakot. Nakakawindang. Nakaka-flip. Bukas magkkwento ulit ako. Bukas na lang ulit. Natatamad na ‘ko eh. Bleh. =p
I’ve seen the video way before. Ang ganda no? 
aaaaat.. Jonathan Livingston Seagull ang isa sa 2 pinakafavorite kong novels (the other one is The Catcher in the Rye). Wala lang. Hehe.
Hmmmm. Malay mo, talaga palang mahal mo ang programming. Hindi mo lang napapansin ngayon. You’ll know when you’re doing it full time, I think. 
@J.Mavi: Hindi naman magulo.. haha.. scared na ko, parang biglang ayokong grumaduate..
@Gian: Huwaaaat! Super pareho tayo ng fave! Mga more then ten times ko na nga atang nababasa ang Catcher eh, super diba? haha.. :p

Wow… First time ko mag-comment dito, methinks XD
Anyway, yeah, asteeg nga ung about the kiwi and Jonathan Livingston Seagull. Here’s to congratulating you on your graduation. Welcome to life after college ^_^
It’s alright to not know what we want, methinks. It’s part of what makes us human and, at the very least, wanting to find out exactly what we want is something that is (hopefully) enough to drive us ever onward
Heheh, magulo ba? XD
