Musings: On Summer, Games, Returning to College
Wednesday, May 18th, 2005It has been a while since I blogged. For the past few weeks, I’ve been in the thick of things. In such a short time I’ve been working like a bantha, amused, distracted, perplexed, and enlightened. Being human really is such a wonder 
Most of my time this summer has been spent on me and my folks’ Summer Camp for kids. For more than half a decade, we’ve been teaching swimming and ballet to kids from 5 to 18 (well, I think that last one was feeling just a kid ;). We also teach cooking (though that was a few years ago) and tutor Math and English (which is what I do now). Some pictures of me at aking mga alaga are up.
With this much to do, I went offline. And with the little time I could spend on going online, I instead devoted that time to center myself. Ever since coming home from Manila I’ve been doing a lot of work, teaching swimming and tutoring math and occasionally helping out at the parish, and that meant having little time for myself and for my family.
And with the little time for rest that I get, I spend it on two things: thinking about entering college, and playing Star Wars: KotOR II - The Sith Lords. A lot more time is spent on the latter, and I’ve finished the game already 
but I’m serious about the former. I’ve already finished the game as a Light Side Exile, but now I’m redoing it as a Dark Lord, Bwahaha!!!
Speaking of finishing, there is one thing I’d like to really finish: college. I’m all set to go back to school, this time around at the UP Open University. And I intend to go all the way. 2 years or so ago, I might have freaked out just at the though of going back to school; now, I’m still kinda freaking out, but at least I can face it now.
I remember Sun Tzu’s anecdote regarding preparedness: when one seeks games and competition to increase and improve, he has set the proper pitch to fight a real battle.
And with what’s happening to me now, I think I’m ready.
PS: I’ve done some updates on my Planner section. I’ve got some new plans, moved out the old ones, and am exploring new ways of planning…
