To Break the Monotony

Why not? Take the plunge!

Life is short.

Recently, she found another side of her that was never known to anyone (not even by herself) before. Because of this, she is quite certain that for as long as we all live, we will never cease to surprise ourselves. There will always be that part of us that will be kept hidden. The part where only the Almighty knows. The part which couples often take a leap of faith for when they decide to tie the knot for better or worse. She believes this was designed to be so, for us not to get too bored with our lives. Imagine a life where a person acts, thinks and speaks in exactly the same way that you have predicted him/her to do so. It definitely could get boring.

Okay. Where was I? Ah, yes. I was talking about that part of herself that she only recently found out. Many of her former acquaintances would find this very astonishing but she turned out to be a laid-back, really quick-to-get-bored-with-everything-around-her kind of person. Fancy that, they all thought she was the type A, determined, hardworking, SENSIBLE kind of lady any parent would be proud of. But, NO. The case is quite the contrary.

She’s tired of studying. She needs a change of scenery.

Which is why she would go to Tagaytay tomorrow.

****************************************

Did you buy that? Well, I hate to break it to you but, that my dear, is a defense mechanism called ‘rationalization’ (with a little bit of projection). As you may very well know by now, she could never get tired of studying because in the first place, she doesn’t study at all. But yeah, that bit about her surprising herself and all has some truth in it. ^_^

********************

Behold, the reasons why she is about to take a break tomorrow.

For one, SHE IS ENSLAVED. And she needs to evaluate whether or not she wants to continue this modern form of slavery.

And she refuses to be enslaved to lessons that she cannot use in REAL life yet she NEEDS to learn because society DEEMED it necessary for her to learn them. Every grain of her being goes against it. Every time she looks at her professors and listens to them, her mind wanders and all she could think of is:

“Man, what am I doing here, learning about isomers, carbon chains and all these loads of things as useful as fur coat in a desert, when I can be somewhere learning far more valuable things in life?”

See, by nature she is a rebel. She loves it when she goes against the majority especially when she knows she has a point. In the past, this trait had led her to many disasters and if she’s wise, she better get on with it, swallow the bitter pill and do things exactly the way other people do them.

THE WAY OF SOCIETY:

To be successful, you need a source of income. To have an income you should be working. It may be for yourself or for other people but nonetheless you need a certain credential to convince other people to put their stock in you. In short, to get somewhere, you need to be a graduate of something. And, to earn that ‘graduate of something’, you need Chem 1001, Math 2002, etc, etc, which, I’m afraid is not related to your chosen field at all.

Her rebellious side battles with her pragmatic side. Whether which side will win is a constant source of amusement for her. But fear not. God will not let her choose one which she will regret later. His grace abounds her. ^_^

**************

Right now, since she can’t resolve any of these matters she’d rather take this opportunity to relax and unwind (as if! She’s been doing nothing but relax and unwind these past days!). But anyway…

Four days in Tagaytay
+
Free board and lodging

She=Faye____________Faye=Me______________She=Me

(I see. So there’s a use for all that gibberish after all.)

I just think (in my humble opinion) that there are better ways to spend life. It is too short to be wasted on doing something that you don’t want to do (a sure formula for failing by the way).Besides, God wants us to have a quality life. ^_^

Matthew 6:25
“I tell you not to worry about your life. Don’t worry about having something to eat, drink or wear. Isn’t life more than food or clothing?”

verse 27
“Can worry make you live longer?”

verse 33
“But seek first His Kingdom and righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you.”

I bid you all a productive holiday! Don’t worry. Be happy!
