General updates about life first: I’m pretty fine, thank you. I have been drowning myself into learning materials lately because, except for being coerced to do so, I love having that “a-ha” feeling every time a morsel of knowledge gets stuck in my temporal lobe. It can be regarded as the shortest yet the most satisfying human orgasm. Satisfaction is reversely proportional to time interval anyway–at least to individuals like me who love to hit hard and run fast. Anyway, talking about learning, I am currently creating/maintaining the habit to read career supplement books since I love running an extra mile on the knowledge race track. True, The Knowledge Economy in a Knowledge Worker Age creates an atmosphere of competition but, in this human race epoch, the greatest competitor is The Self.
When I was in first year high school, my Values Education teacher asked the class to read the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen Covey. The book itself is actually integrated in our curriculum that our exams will include some questions based on the book. Being a devotee of the Iskol Bukol philosophy, I didn’t read the whole book and survived the subject by using the ever-reliable book summaries and outlines found on the internet. Almost 7 years later, a company I worked for as an intern conducted a 7 Habits seminar for us interns. Being the Nah I Already Know That Student, I listened as if it’s just a repetition of things I already know. Now, almost a decade has passed after my first encounter with that book and I decided to read its entirety. I can now say this—I should have followed the instruction of my Values Education teacher.
I’m no Apple Fanboy but I think I am about to flirt with the standards of being one. Just recently, Apple released iOS 4, an operating system which is supposed to advance the third release of their OS for iPod Touch and iPhone–and I think they succeeded. Part of the new system is the ability to download the iBooks app where you can store and shop for ebooks. In the initial release, many ebooks are for free, thanks to Project Gutenberg. Of course, most of these ebooks are the classics (which is Great). Finally, I have a way to fulfill one of my Year 2010 Resolutions.
After watching Mano Po 6 (Sharon Cuneta’s bulky package is the only thing I can remember, btw), I saw a children’s party at Jollibee. A Jollibee mascot was there, entertaining the kids the juvenile way. I stopped and stared at the happy bee and saw myself joining the kids’ crowd. I smiled and saw him smiling back at me. Well, he can’t frown anyway. But the jiffy moment I sang and dance in my mind made me realize how old I am now that prevented me to actualize those action thoughts. I’m 20, and I think I’m old.
