some things i picked up or said in the interview

q: is there any particular thing bothering you right now that could possibly be a baggage during your year?
a: travel light dapat...
(ata gurl! thumbs up for this applicant)

applicant: (rephrased statement) there are so many fears and questions now about jvp especially after immersion.
a: you have put so much thought and effort and time with your jvp application, and then suddenly you have these fears. and you will always have all these fears. but the more important question to ask is "will you regret not doing this?"

q: you are taking a big risk, leaving a high paying job and all for something as uncertain as this. are you ready for the possible consequeces?
a: one thing i have learned in my masters is "leap of faith." this is what i call a "leap of faith." i am not even sure that when i jump there will be something there for me. but i know at the end of my fall, God will be there to catch me.

i like doing the interviews. :)
it refreshes everything that i have believed in and everything that i have gave up and sacrificed. hearing all these people talk about their dreams makes me remember all those times that i, too, dreamt. and though i have failed in many things, i can actually say to myself... i am living the life i chose to live. it has some ups and a lot of downs... but in the end it will all go back to those two years that made my life meaningful. even as i wonder and wander now, i take that leap of faith, too. God will catch me at the end. :)

as the rowster has texted, nice date.
though i did not realize that it was like that until she told me. i never had the habit of looking at calendars unless i have to fix my trips. even when i was still young. same goes for watches.
the only real important day to look forward to... FRIDAY THE 13TH. it rules! :)

kelangang idagdag!

the ents attacking isengard (from two towers)

to be fair...

aragorn... every inch a man! (because legolas is an elf)



gandalf... the mysterious and powerful wizard. i envy his costume. :)



sam... the most loyal friend. and my most favorite character tied with tom bombadil who does not make any appearance in the movie.



gimli... well, i love john rhys-davies.



nazgul... my favorite villains of all time (i have a feeling dementors will look like them).



arwen... the beautiful lady love. (that scar is quite becoming, really)



i wouldn't be including frodo, bilbo, boromir, merry, pippin, saruman and the others na.
