Off to University?

June 10, 09 //

How I wish. Not really, but I’m actually am going to Vic University today with a friend of mine to meet up with a Liaison Officer to talk about courses. I know I have decided to take up Film Studies in school when I can, but I still have to decide if Theater is for me. So that will be decided today or within the next few days after I talk. I’ll edit later when I get back. Toodle-loo… Loves <3

Edited: I just got back from Vic University and what can I say? I AM REALLY EXCITED! Well, the word we used today actually was ‘desperate’… Yes. I was pretty much desperate to go back to school. Some of my friends have said I was lucky to not have school. But seriously… If you know you want to establish yourself and mind to the chosen career you want, you will want to have school no matter how much freedom you’re having.

Freedom = boredom. You are free to do whatever you want, yes. No school, no home works, no tests, no school nights, no requirements to finish on due date. But not really. No school means alone at home, no hang outs, no productive works, and you’ll just get lazier and lazier every minute. Back then, I was enjoying all of these because I get to focus on Vanessa-Hudgens.ORG. Every single minute I was away from school, all I did was websites and designs. I’ve been doing that ever since 2004 even while attending school. But as soon as I realized what I was missing for the past 3 years since I graduated from High School in the Philippines, I craved for University learning. (And to be honest, I was suppose to get my degree next year if I was studying in the Philippines).

“yes, i think school can be such a headache at loads of times but, on the other hand, i also think that that’s where the fun of being a student comes from. i mean, there’s so much hype at first but in the end, you’ll see the outcome of your hard work and it’s worth every effort you put on it.” – Razz

To Stay or Not To Stay

I for one really wanted to stay. Of course, it’s always cool to be back home in the Philippines. I stayed there for 17 years, and there are tons of memories already made with families and friends. But, that was just it. Those are memories I’d just like to remember one day in the future. Building a life is what I’m doing now here abroad. Oh, wait, before I go there, I guess I’ll just make things clear.

If you read the about me part on the sidebar (still under construction, by the way), I have mentioned that I am a Filipina who lives in New Zealand. Six years ago, my parents were talking about Canada and Australia as possible countries to live. Later, we heard them talking about New Zealand. They didn’t actually broke the news by going “Hey, we’re moving to New Zealand soon…” Nope. They actually were just planning and all, and the five of us (me and my siblings) all just figured it out. I think about a year later, they were planning and doing stuff about it right in front of us. So that pretty much was what broke the news to us.

At first, of course, it wasn’t the plan we wanted to get involved into. I really didn’t like the idea but I didn’t say anything. But I also didn’t go on rebel mode. I just lived my life the way I always do and stayed innocent. But I am lying if I say I didn’t complain about it to my friends. Every year I would tell my friends that there’s a possiblity that we’re moving to New Zealand. I know it wasn’t a good news to tell everyone and I could feel my face wasn’t pasting a smile. I need to tell someone, right? But then every year, I’m still showing up in school. There were no news that we’re moving to New Zealand until 2006.
