My Offbeat Persona

Alright. I know I haven't said much about myself. Little by little you'll then know more about me.

Here's one -- I am a fresh graduate of St. John's community. (Let's see if you're good at guessing).

Yes, I am a proud La Sallian. And, I love green. What else now?

Anyway, here's a note I wrote when I was still in college. My professor told us to create a blog site and write at least two blogs on it. And this is the first one.

Let me share with you what is blogging for me when I was still in college. My blog's title is "My Offbeat Persona". I just want to share with you a little bit of me back in the university.

"Minutes devoured my time doing this work, oh so much. Finding out that “this is the real me” whom this piece should talk about. On the verge of losing words to finish this blog, at last, I am placing myself into it. Seriously, blogging sounds exciting. Just about a couple of time, it turned out to be not. Simply naive, innocent, discreet and so, name it. That is just me.

I consider myself as a well-mannered person, maybe because of the Filipino-Chinese blood I got from my parents. Believing that these races value the most conventional way of living but I deal with it extra-ordinarily. Variety and change interest me. Being hemmed in turns me off a lot.For almost four years inside the university, I feel I need to gain more of what I actually strive for, intelligence. Exploring unusual things leave me hungry for it. New discoveries, learning, and knowledge make me thirsty for it.

I crave for wisdom. Now my struggle for art knocks me into several worlds: the world of literature, the world of visual arts (photography), and the world of music. Nothing can beat my passion for music – I have been loved and dumped by music. Anyway, I can learn by trial and error. Though tested by trials, I still love it.

Knowing my priorities in life is quite hard for me. I may note some: God, family, studies. Way to go, I have to stress out the goodness of the brainpower. Should I go on the right track or not? Well, I have to. What’s the sense of settling to this school for so long? After such, what’s the sense of staying up late with lots of assignments, projects, and all those school works?

In no more than a year, I should be standing up straight and look again for another priority in life – work. Landing on a stable job seems uneasy. However, with God’s unending grasp in my hands, there is no way of thinking ill at ease anyway. Going straightly on the right path would help me a lot. Wishing that someday, I could touch everybody’s life through the greatness of art.

Though minutes devoured almost all my time making these words stand as one, here I am ending this all. And now I am done."
