Inspired by the new movie, i've heroically come to save my blog after a 3 month hiatus! hehehe...
I've no idea y my blogging has been so infrequent the past 18mnths... maybe life's become all too mundane for me or maybe all the craze and attention on blogging or rather 'celebrity bloggers' has stifled me. ( i make it a pt to aviod the norm and escape the fads. that's me.) Watever the reason (probably both and a string of others), my blog's been revived as i turn the page to a new chapter in my life!
Now, that, i'm clearing leave awaiting my ORD date, i've got lots of free time. (only goin to work half-a-day each wk of july and none for the month of aug hehehe) Initially, i'd planned to find a job (which im not ruling out) since i only leave mid oct but i've got one major plan that's gonna wreck most job prospects: that is to pick up cooking! Considering the yrs i'm goin to spend abroad, its in my best interest to know how to whip up those home-cooked meals. As such, i've decided to understudy my maid, my family better brace themselves haha. Unfortunately i haven't been dat conscientious, only managing one meal the past wk. hash browns and battered fish, not exactly local fare i was hoping to cook. and my maid invited me into the kitchen a bit too late! having done the marinating herself, she just left the frying to me. she didn't fully understand that i'll be doin the cooking and she'll just watch haha.. well, it'll be different next time, and i promise it'll be more den once a wk, everyday in fact!
Along with my cooking training, i have two other 'free time busters'. Gym and studying! Yes, i've been procrastinating ever since i wore green, infact i still am... abt a wk behind schedule, thanks to my nasty blister. but i swear, i'll clock at least an hr a day. not happy with my cup size hahaha. High protein Low carb, here i come!
As for the studying, yes studying, i noe its a shocker. i nvr study until exams. but hey look where it got me? plus, army really gives you motivation to hit the books. 3yrs without intellectual stimulation, that's a serious handicap. not forgetting, you're also so pissed off at the gross amt of time wasted that u'll be so eager to make up for loss time. So, anyways, i've under-achieved all my life, never setting any real goals. But that's gonna change, i've decided to pursue my passion and carve a career in psychology. Doctorates are always demanding, but im bracing myself. So i figured it'll aid my preps alot if i knew wat topics are goin to be covered in the first sem. the website was too vague so i emailed an adminstrator last nite and she replied immediately today. but her response was really disappointing and somewhat rehearsed. pretty obvious she couldn't bother to help. explains the quick response. nevertheless, my revision shall commence. hopefully, much of it would be relevant.
ok goin to bed now.. still got world cup action to catch later on! still a bit bitter from brazil's shameful exit, but its not goin to dampen my world cup spirits! ciao.
