Updates

It's been a while.

Been extremely busy the last few months. It's funny how on days like these, no amount of hours can ever be enough for you to deal with your life.

Things have happened in the last few months.

Deron proposed, so I'm officially engaged!

My friend's fiance died. Suspected suicide. :( It was grim, the funeral, with the grandma crying over the coffin.

Set my defense date.

Submitted my paper thrice. Still waiting on it.

Lost weight (Guess all the stress did some good).

Building talk next Friday. Guess who's presenting!

What happens to the days when you don't feel like doing work? I have this internal conflict where I am not inclined to do work but I have to, with this impending stress on my shoulders.

I worry.

I worry about Deron not finding a job in Singapore.

I worry about my defense.

I worry about my talk.

I worry about every aspect of my wedding.

I guess the last year of Ph.D is always stressful. No easy way about it unless you're Mike graduating so you can step right into med school (kidding if you're reading this, Mike.)

I have 5 months left here in San Diego. I might come back but it's so far in the future that I don't know. I want the 5 months to be happy so I can enjoy and cherish the remnants of the life I built for myself here. I can't. There's just too many things going on, too many things I need to tend to, too many things to worry about. Ay.

Romeo & Juliet's soundtracks cheer me up. It's nice to know that some things get frozen in time and don't change.
